"Lust and Caution" is a very simple line, but in the seemingly peaceful relationship between a female spy and a male traitor, there are dark tides. In the end, the female spy lost in lust forgets her mission and sacrifices herself and end up with his own partner. The atmosphere created by the film is depressing, but there is an inner tension. The director spends more pen and ink on the complex psychological changes in the relationship between men and women, and handles the details very well; while "Black Book" is about a complete and huge The story is tight, twists and turns and gripping. There are traitors, resolute revolutionaries, spies, and infighting. The relationship is complicated, but it is also very lively. The director tells this story very loudly, and it is considered a success.
If I had to compare "Black Book" with "Lust, Caution", and from a woman's standpoint, I would think Munts was much cuter than Mr. Yi. The rare love and sobriety might be due to the experience of his wife and children. Let him see the face of the war clearly, he didn't kill Ellis after knowing her identity, and finally saved her, and the two of them lived a happy life, which was not easy.
"Lust and Caution" is a part of the whole, while "Black Book" is very comprehensive. In general, both films are well done, although I may prefer "Lust and Caution".
