David Cronenberg loved the play so much that when he heard a movie was being made about it, he volunteered immediately to direct it.
Peter Weir passed on the chance to direct.
The Chinese opera being performed by Song near the beginning is called "Gui Fei Zui Jiu", aka "The Drunken Concubine", aka "Yang Gui Fei Gets Tipsy".
The role of Song was originally played on stage by BD Wong, who started going by his initials in that role to hide his gender. Earlier in 1993, Wong appeared in Jurassic Park (1993) with Jeff Goldblum, who had appeared in Cronenberg's earlier film The Fly (1986).
The original Broadway production of "M. Butterfly" by David Henry Hwang opened on March 20, 1988 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, ran for 777 performances, won the 1988 Tony Award for Best Play and was nominated for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
"Song Liling: The days I spent with you were the only days I ever truly existed."
"Song Liling: Under the robes, beneath everything, it was always me. Tell me you adore me. Rene Gallimard: How could you, who understood me so well, make such a mistake? You've shown me your true self, and what I love was the lie, perfect lie, that's been destroyed. Song Liling: You never really loved me. Rene Gallimard: I'm a man who loved a woman created by a man. Anything else simply falls short."
