Thank you very much for your precious comment. You are not only a sensitive person, but you show a high level of knowledge. I hope we can meet here for further discussions.

I'm very excited by this interloction with you! I'm trying to create a discussion lbut I haven't find out how to do it yet... A very intersting profile too (@peechblossomgoddess) appreciated one of my comments (a research I did about the song A'Li played) and she suggested me t9 make a discussion so the comment doesn't get lost. She awarded me with a flower. It was a surprise because I don't really know the resources we have here. Since then I've been trying to find the way to make this discution. If you have some time and can guide me, I would really appreciate it. I received a "Butterfly Social Badge" a few minutes ago. It was one more surprise, it seems it's recognition but I didn't understand who sent it to me, why and what's for. I'm a new member, although I've been coming here to read the comments for a long time. So I'm not very familiar with the features. I would also like to read your discussions, but I didn't find it either...

I'm so glad you're here, because I mentioned you, as you saw. This way you reinforce the information you provided and that I reproduced with the care of giving you the credits!

I'm glad you're discovering the refined richness of The Double. It's not a simple series, it's a masterpiece to be seen many times... I ask you to read the (huge...) comment I made below where I share my point of view on A'Li's most beautiful scene (acting masterful from actress WJY. She was a ballet dancer, but she broke her foot a few times and that's why she decided to be an actress. You can clearly see in the competition scene that she is a ballet dancer).

Yes, I agree with you. But not only Shakespeare, but there are Greek theater elements in his conception. I'm writting a analysis about the competition scene because of 2 comments I saw here (MDL). I didn't finish and didn't review it yet, but I'll share here with you, because the interloction with you is always instigating.
My analysis is from a theatrical (including Opera) and poetic point of view. The director uses theatrical concepts that have a strong emotional and visual impact. The love for theater is a characteristic of Duke Su (WXY) and Governor Tong (Liu Tian Zuo), reinforcing the conception of scenes within theatrical logic. Many scenes are arranged as if it were on the stage of an intimate theater, like Greek theater, and exactly like in Greek theater, where you have the 'persona' who comments on the scene with the spectator, we had the examiner playing this role during A'Li's performance. That transfiguration of XFF through musical interpretation is a poetic license, it should be seen as a visual metaphor. How to convey to the viewer the painful drama that takes place in the inner life of XFF? I've watched several films considered masterpieces (Akira Korosawa, he uses exactly these resources that are nothing more than theatrical concepts, especially Japanese cinema (most of the actors were from kabuki (I had the privilege of watching perfomances in the theater a few times) and the heirence still present in the modern japan works (Akira Kurosawa and Mizoguchi). The effect of this is to take the viewer into the scene, amplifying the emotional strength.
From the point of view of Chinese art and aesthetics (Japan as well), there are scenes in The Double that evoke old scroll painting, presented in a horizontal plane and with lateral camera movement (present in the works of Jia Zhang-ke), these scenes resemble paintings because they are seen from a distant plane. (like the traditional Chinese art of representing landscapes that unfolds horizontally as if telling a story). The objects/people in the scene are seen from afar and from a higher plane, exactly as A'Li's scene is initially presented. This scene (A'Li playing "Pear Blossoms Turn White") made me cry, as a woman, in a particular way, I could feel her pain, there is no place to laugh at this as I see in just two comments here. Finally, I love Shakeaspere. I did a research on the songs sung in his tragedies, one of which is sung by Desdemona before Othello kills her. A'Li was also killed and at that moment she is Desdemona... I'm a lyrical singer as well as a pianist and flutist, as a musician I have a special interest in renasciment art (as you know, the renascentist art revives all the Greek art concepts, Shakespeare's theater and poetry is not an exception). I recorded a CD of Renascentist and Barroque Music with three songs of Shakespeare. One of those is that one Desdemona sings (act 4, scene 3): The Willow song. The links below contains, respectively, my CD and informations about the Willow Song.

Yes, I noticed this detail and commented here (MDL). There are many subtle details that reinforce the HE, for example, in the final scene XFF is in red, the Duke too. There's no doubt about that. The Double is an epic and has an epic ending, an epic HE. Not only that: this ending is not banal, it is not “sugar water”, it follows exactly the style of the entire narrative, the storytelling. A friend of mine posted here a letter from the director about the end. He didn't include the source, but this friend is very serious in his comments, so you can trust the letter:
"Yu Zheng: "Generally, pessimistic people will overwhelm optimistic people. People because they are pessimistic will chatter endlessly and want to prove they are right, while optimistic people don't care about arguments and live in their own world. So, I decided instead of me explaining 40 was HE, I would make 40.5, so everyone can see for themselves it was HE"."
Anyone know the song name that Jiang Ruo Yao and FL both played?
In the series the name of the song A'Li played is "Pear Blossoms Turn White", but the original name I only found in Mandarin, with a translation for English: 墨雨云间 芳菲落尽梨花白 作词/于正崔轼ㄠ 作曲/工可刘灼 梁凡钱雷 编制/制谱 如鱼得森@虫虫钢琴 "Between the ink and rainy clouds, all the beauty is gone and the pear blossoms are white. "
As a musician, I focused on A'Li's music which I consider a treasure. But the other song you can find on YouTube (competition scene). I'll put the link of the song A'Li played (solo) and the same song that she played with Shen Yu Rong. (flute). The song Jiang Li played in the guzhen was very hard to have. Nobody here found it, only that song sung by Mi Liang. It took me several days to find it. I had to search for it in Mandarin to come to the source. I'll put here all the informations about this specific marvelous song. Many people are asking about the song Jiang Li played in the guzhen. I'm a musician, I couldn't rest until I found him. After many days, I discovered all the information about this stunning song, including its sheet music.
In the first link you have the original song of the series (you won't find it in the playlist). In the second one you have the song played by A'Li and Shen Yu Rong. In the third one, you have a musician playing that wonderful song on the guzhen. I'm going to put all the information about this song, so that if you want to play it (if you're a musician, like me). As you will see, I am putting the original title in Mandarin, as that is the source, with the English translation. In the fourth link you have all the informations about the song. In the fifth one you have the sheet music for piano (I'm playing it on piano and flute). In the 6th link you have all the songs of The Double. In my opinion, the best soundtrack I've heard this year. In the 7th link is the song sung by Mi Liang. Finally, the last one is the guqin version available on WJY's Weibo account and YouTube, a tribute especially prepared for those who loved A'Li's song.
