Abstract
As a medium of visualization, the film has provided a vivid visual record, using its unique strengths in restoring reality and historical reenactment as an important means of documenting how human society has explored, perceived, and understood gender identity and emotional desire over the centuries. Queer films, as a branch of cinematic development, have their unique artistic appeal and logic of thinking in terms of gender awareness exploration and erotic expression. In this article, I will focus on the development of queer in Asia, especially in China and Hong Kong. Comparing the different attitudes towards LGBT in western countries and Asia. The analysis is done through the perspective of some queer in the representative movie "Farewell My Concubine".
