The things between Ang Lee and men and women that came to mind from "Lust and



Caution" I just stayed up late to read "Lust and Caution", and it was better than I thought. At least I think Tang Wei is a good girl, except for erotic scenes, other performances are also wonderful. For a few moments, she felt that she found Dong Jie and Zeng Li on her face. In other words, the temperament in the first half is like Dong Jie, and the temperament in the second half is like Zeng Li. And the first time she was sitting in Mr. Yi's car, wearing a British top hat, with a slightly disturbed expression, it reminded me of Jane March in "The Lover" many years ago, not only the resemblance of the picture language , the eyes of the two girls are also somewhat similar.

Li An is precise in employing people, Liang Chaowei, Tang Wei, even a few rich wives who play mahjong to fill the scene, Chen Chong, He Saifei, Wang Lin are all experienced and calm actors, it is estimated that only Li An's charm can make them willing to become There are not many scenes in the scene as a foil. I have always felt that Ang Lee's films embody the refined side of traditional Chinese culture, just like his own. Acting calmly, low-key, easy-going, and humorous but not arrogant. Even if you describe him with words like old, cunning and cunning, you have to first admit that he is always steady and seemingly casual and walks at the top of Chinese movies.

From the heart, whether it is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Lust, Caution", Ang Lee's films are far less majestic than "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive", but it is others who can make him win. The inimitable indifference and the graceful grace revealed in the pictures. I think Ang Lee is elegant, probably because of the elegance of Ang Lee's movies. Compared with pure "Northern style" directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, they pay attention to the background of the big environment, the historical atmosphere created objectively, and all the variable factors of external people, but they ignore the story entanglement of the film itself. And Ang Lee's "Southern Way" directly cuts into the rich feelings of the characters in the story, and uses the characters to create all the remaining objective reality. No matter how real the movie is, it is also fake, and no matter how wonderful the story is, it is also performed by people.

Ang Lee is smarter than the two directors above. Perhaps it is not his understanding of "movie" but his understanding of "people". The judges, audience, actors and even the director themselves, Ang Lee is all too aware of their place in the movie. , Do not use the most suitable only the most suitable, of course, the judgment of the cattle ratio is only a matter of opinion.

If you say that your crazy movie viewing period was exhausted two years ago, recently De's movie viewing attitude is really too lazy to watch and don't want to watch it. Then the 8-minute passion scene of Lust and Caution is indeed full of gimmicks to attract attention. However, the whole film did not seem to expect blood vessels to collapse, but rather suppressed bone pains that could not erupt. This is not just a question of whether a woman should fall in love with a man she should not love, nor is it just a question of male directors being generally more kind and warm than female writers, but also whether all literary and art workers in our great motherland should pay more attention to human nature or gods. Sexuality (high patriotic enthusiasm, the noble sentiments of Communist Party members to sacrifice their lives).

Okay, I've already moved on to the deeply human issue and the politically sensitive political issue. It's going to be too much, and it's not very friendly and discordant, so let's stop there. I have to admire Zhang Ailing, the old goblin, for speaking so straightforwardly and unobtrusively about the matter of men and women that the fastest way to a woman's soul is the vagina. Of course, due to the progress of the times, I have to add that it is not enough to enter the vagina. If you want to enter the soul, you have to let the girl have an orgasm. Therefore, Ang Lee said in an interview with the media: Wang Jiazhi's growth as a woman was completely demonstrated by these three passionate scenes.

I want to say that this story boils down to this: a girl named Wang Jiazhi voluntarily dedicated herself to Mr. Yi in order to obtain information. Originally, she had a pure heart for the country, but she fell in love with herself in the process of constant lovemaking and fell in love with vaginal access. A man of his own soul. In this way, this girl is quite silly, but she is really cute, even the most sober and human in the whole movie. The remaining patriotic youths, leaders of the organization, etc., are more like black spots shrouded in a sacred halo, full of ugly selfishness and stupidity. There is only one thing that I have never understood, why Wang Jiazhi didn't choose Wang Lihong directly when he was preparing to break the bank, at least he still had a crush on him at the time, and it was an explanation for both public and private. It's great to see each other break each other and make progress together. In the future, it will still be a good memory that can make people tangled. So this place is a blemish, look at me and laugh.

Speaking of Mr. Yi, Liang Chaowei's charm is irresistible. I have always ignored his spy status. At most, he is a Hong Kong businessman with a family. In this way, the story has been downgraded from the political incident of national hatred and family hatred to the fact that the rich and the rich have a mistress. Mr. Yi, a wealthy man, couldn't vent out the pressure of his work (Wang pseudo-spy), so he started looking for extramarital affairs to play some sex sm to prove that he was still alive. Finally, he felt a little warm and a little love in his life, but in the end he found out that he fell in love with him accidentally. This little lover is still a spy sent by the hostile elements who plan to kill him. It turns out that this magnificent spring dream is just a premeditated betrayal.

What a sympathetic man he is! ! ! Therefore, we must cherish the current good life. Even if we have an extramarital affair, we don’t have to play so turbulently. Of course, we can’t take it lightly. Comrade Zhang Bin is obviously wrongly estimating the time bomb hidden in the good situation. But one thing is well said: China is far from being a great power until it can successfully export its values.
