Ele é Uma Mulher, Ela é Um Homem

Rose (Lau) & Sam (Cheung) are a superstar singer and her brilliant manager. They are also lovers. Wing (Yuen), a spunky and resourceful young woman, is one of their biggest fans. When Sam holds a contest to find a new male pop star, Wing cuts her hair and ... you can guess the rest. Misunderstandings and love triangles!

"Tootsie" & "Victor, Victoria" are two movies that deal with similar issues of gender and fame, and this movie is just as entertaining. Anita Yuen is very good (& attractive) as BOTH a boy and a girl, and it's easy to see why Sam and Rose fall for her. Leslie Cheung sings a terrific song called "Chase," and Carina Lau makes a great bossy diva.

It was a happy story in the movie, but a sad ending in real life. A lyric song by Leslie goes, "Singing in the wind with a smile, even bitter can become happiness". The song is charming. Leslie wrote it for a couple who are his father's friends.

Leslie Cheung has two kinds of state. He likes playing music with his father's friends, which suggested he is a gay. He can't tell anybody, especially in the past entrainment circle of Hong Kong. He likes two ladies in the movie. He choose the second. Because she is pure. She believe dreams and future. When Leslie said Africa, she looked forward to go, like a young girl. Leslie wrote the second song, "Ordinary is important".

This is the 16th year that Leslie had decided to end his life. This movie portrays his golden year in music and film industry. He is so enchanting being a music producer, together with the mature acting of Lau and natural portrayal of Yuen.

A fond memory of his flair in music. The movie will be remembered by his died hard and 'post wing' young fans.

The producer Sam (Leslie Cheung) and the singer Rose (Carina Lau) are a successful and happy couple on the screens and in the news. However, in the real life, they are splitting. Billy (Anta Yuen) is a girl, who dresses like a man, trying to get a spot in the show business. The problem is that both Sam and Rose fall in love with her. This Hong Kong version of `Victor or Victoria' is a funny romantic comedy and a good entertainment. The problem is that in Brazil, the Brazilian distributor Abril Video has decided to release a version dubbed in English, forgetting that the speech is part of the interpretation, destroying a funny movie with a ridiculous dubbing. A shame! Anyway, my vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): `Sou! Mas Quem Não É?' (`I Am! But Who Is Not?')

An excellent parody into the workings of the Canto-pop industry for those familiar AND unfamiliar with it. Especially interesting that Leslie Cheung, a real life Canto-pop legend, plays the producer "Sam," to Carina Lau's singer-superstar "Rose." There are plenty of scenes involving music and songwriting, the best being the scene where the film's theme song "Chase" is "written" and performed by Cheung himself. Hilarious audition moments in the beginning of the film parody Chinese pop music, as well as equally funny portrayals of fan obsession. Poignant scenes between Lau and Yuen as "sisters," as well as for Cheung and Yuen while stuck in a darkened elevator. Carina Lau is perfect as the diva and Anita Yuen is truly phenomenal in her HKFilm award-winning turn as the gender-turned "Wing." Leslie Cheung is at the top of his form as straight man (no pun intended!). Laugh-out-loud comedy and great acting all around.
