Butterflys Were Not Always Beautiful

The drama of this play really shocked me from the beginning to the end of the play. At first I though of this play as a humorous one but as the story continued it transformed to a sad one. Above the real event of the history of the world this play represent and above the interpretation of the relation of the west and the east , what It truly felt of this play was the tragedy of Gallimard.
In life there is nothing more painful than the pain of love. Gallimard suffer the greatest atrocity that can be done to a person who is truly in love. This men fell in love of what he considered to be the perfect woman, Chinese woman who was an opera actress. Gallimard was a men who constantly doubted of his masculinity so he first married a woman who was not that attractive and because of her history hardly any man could felt in love with her, and Gallimard was not the exception. Gallimard went to a Chinese Opera title M. Butterfly, and opera that he always like because he always wished to be the very masculine Pikerton who married a Chinese woman that was very submissive. Gallimard felt in love with the actress who played Cio-Cio Sang, called Song Liling. Gallimard saw in in Song that submissive woman and they started an affair. During their relation Gallimard never saw Song naked because she was very shy but she sometime please him in other ways that do not involve in penetration. They were both in love but Song always showed herself very interested in in Gallimards work as a diplomat in the government and she made Gallimard to retrieve for her important file about the United State war movement in Vietnam.
The tragic part comes now the part that shock me and made me felt sad. After twenty years of, love romance and desperation Gallimard was accused of giving secret information to a Chinese spy. Gallimar was send to the court were he learn a very painful truth, but it was also a truth that he somewhere hidden in his heart always new. In the court Gallimard met the real Song, Song was a spy for the Chinese and use Gallimard to obtain secret information of the government, but that was not all, Song was a men, a men who really felt in love of Gallimard and after all he wanted to be with him. Gallimard was devastated and he decided to live in the fantasy were his Butterfly existed. Gallimard was sent to jail and after many years he decided that he could not longer live in shame and kill himself.
Gallimard suffered humiliation and betrayal by loving a woman that never existed he ended up having the same faith as Cio-Cio Sang in the Chinese Opera, the faith of the woman he always wanted.

What can I choose: TV or book?

When I read Sienfield on the script I found it a little funny, by reading it i could imagine how the act was going to be and the setting, but when I saw the show, for me was much better. The show was more humorous than the script and i could understand the plot better . It seems that what really make this play more humorous are not only the words but also the expression and the appearance the actors project on the show. It is true that by reading the script you can use more your imagination and that may be the way that you imagine the things by reading the script are not the same as when the put all the image and all the setting in the show. But in the case of these play the script was for me only words that needed more life, words that could not be independent. this word needed the expression given in the show.

There also other cases when people like book better than the movie, may be because the story of in the book is more completed, it may have more details about something, some character in the book are in one way and in the movie they because of the character seems different as the way you imagine it in the book. I personally believe that there are books that much better than the movies they made of it and there are movies that are much better than their books.
