went to watch "Lust, Caution" in the second time (Hong Kong was the first time). He wanted to know that after having spent a whole month learning about all aspects of a movie, Can you see something new, especially when you frequently see someone thinks the film is too long and makes people fall asleep?
"Lust, Caution" does not have hypnotic qualities, unless you will be hypnotized by a wonderful thriller. "Lust, Caution" is a subtle analysis of women's psychology in the form of a thriller. What Li Ang did was not the supplementary work for Zhang Ailing’s original work, but the answer to the puzzle set by Zhang Ailing, that is, "Why did Wang Jiazhi make such a choice?" Li Ang believed one of the conditions for solving the problem given by Zhang Ailing. , That's Wang Jiazhi's obsession with acting. The country abandoned her, her father abandoned her, her home and country were unreliable. In the end, even her partner secretly treated her as a foreign body. The first assassination was because of Mr. Yi’s departure, she failed. She held the phone and talked. She was out of breath and said that she was incomplete. She was worthless for her loss of virginity, while the people around were still thinking about the success or failure of their actions. At that moment, her abandonment became complete and irreversible. . In addition to her abandoned, depressed, turbulent, and confined life, only the moment of acting gives her honor and more possibilities. Therefore, there is a scene in the film where everyone else leaves the stage, only she is in love. Standing on the stage, they called her to come ashore under the stage: "Come up, come up." Can't shout. She was willing to accept the task of seduction for the first time because she did not know the severity and impulse. After three years, she chose to play again under unkempt conditions, but it was calculated. I am afraid that she and Bai Liusu will condescend to go to Hong Kong for the second time. Looking for Fan Liuyuan’s mental state is similar. There is no snobbish aunt in the play, but there is brilliance and glory, there is an ups and downs plot, and a man who is absolutely inaccessible in her own life, and even has the opportunity to go to the UK. The apartment, the worst and worst, can also pretend to be a young grandmother for a few months, so that female classmates with better family backgrounds can pretend to be maids and wait on them. She didn't really enter the play after she came to the stage impulsively the first time, and the second time she came to the stage after weighing and calculating, she fell into the play, so the first time she smoked, she borrowed a posture to experience life, and she needed reminders and encouragement from female classmates. , The second time the female classmate saw her smoking again, she was surprised at her naturally. Outside of the process from entering the play to being possessed by the role, Jia He Guo is just a reason to come on stage. Even if the reason is changed, she is still willing to enter the play and appear with love.
She had completely dramatized her life, and she had been in the arms of two men. She was decadent and beautiful and considered herself a "prostitute", not only a physical prostitute, but also a life prostitute, but unfortunately Yes, the little prostitute met the old prostitute in her life-Mr. Yi thought she was an old prostitute (please refer to the description of the little prostitute and the old prostitute in Wang Xiaobo's novels). None of them were his opponents. His men had already figured out their details clearly, and he had also figured out her hole cards clearly-even the cards were given by him, she thought "I have won "You", he doesn't want to win or lose in this love field at all. What the old prostitute in life wants is to live better on the battlefield. She does not distinguish between her roles and the beautiful girl's soul. She can't blame everyone for the family's play, so she can make brain teasers at any time. , Get away and leave. Setting a game for those who refuse to enter the urn at all is tantamount to setting a game for yourself, baiting those who master the baiting skills, and finally not baiting yourself. In the end, he denied having any relationship with her. Ding Mocun did this in reality. He denied that Zheng Pingru’s things belonged to him. Mr. Yi in the movie did the same. He hastily denied that the diamond ring was himself. "It’s not mine." What he denied was not this shameful feeling, but that he was almost fooled. Like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Lust, Caution" is a story about who controls the world. "Lust, Caution" tells that young heroes meet old rivers and lakes, young people meet middle-aged people, and lovers meet ruthless people. People, Little Red Riding Hood met Black Fairy.
So Li Ang chose Zhang Ailing’s "Lust, Caution" instead of Gao Yang’s "Red Pink Golden Ge". The same story has psychological content in Zhang Ailing, but not in Gao Yang. It is a human analysis in Zhang Ailing, but it is nothing more than becoming in Gao Yang. A legend that is talked about. Although "Lust, Caution" is not yet Zhang Ailing's best work.
Li Ang and screenwriter Wang Huiling are skilled in scheduling everything, looking for clues to solving problems in Zhang Ailing’s world, and even find the blocked passage in her prose to be used in the movie ("It is possible to see a doctor, and to cook It’s not possible”), there was a scene, completely Zhang Ailing’s style, Mr. Yi was burning a secret document, and the fire was shining on the statue of Sun Yat-sen on the wall. What is good at is this kind of metaphor. Also, Wang Jiazhi, who had let go of Mr. Yi, was sitting on a rickshaw (I can even think of how the gangster who plays the beaming and smiling young coachman has tried hard to learn all kinds of rickshaws for the movie, and is working hard in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The chance to grab a little drama in the opportunity, so he was too enthusiastic) The calm and relaxation of the big thing and the attention to the windmill on the rickshaw are also Zhang Ailing's—Zhang Ailing wrote in prose that her father beat her. At that moment, everything in front of me suddenly became clear. Li Ang’s meticulousness can also be seen elsewhere. Tony Leung’s character is very sophisticated. He is the kind of old prostitute under the traditional Chinese culture. You can spend a card table anytime and anywhere, always walk at an angle a little vigilantly, and flash in when you want to enter the door. Tang Wei has a dull, dull, Shanghai-style delicate air, from the greenness at the beginning to the turbidity and warmth after the body is inspired, and the face becomes dirty. Step by step, the accuracy is amazing. .
What Li Ang added the most was the direction of the relationship between the two people. As a traditional Chinese prostitute, Mr. Yi is most proud of this relationship between men and women. He enters this relationship in an appreciative manner. She is beautiful and intelligent, as well as a female disciple. On the bed, she is also his female disciple. He taught her hand in hand, enlightened her, and let her use it for himself. What she knows is nothing more than what he taught her. Those ones. She is a mistress, confidant, and confidante, the most rare thing is that she is so considerate and quiet. She also has another important function, which is to act as his psychiatrist. When he is overwhelmed as a spy chief, she is still willing to listen to his nonsense. She knows so little about men and women, if you give her some sweetness, she will be obedient and give her some tasks. She is like a child and enjoys the pleasure of being valued. This is how her last compassion was cultivated. At a critical juncture, she said "Let's go", as if he belonged to her, and she was in charge. She was qualified to be released and dispatched. At that moment, she was compassionate, forgiving, knowing everything, and willing to do everything. Forgiving, but he cannot forgive her, he is not hers at all. After she finally became his ghost, he was also willing to sit on the lively double bed at the beginning. Some people think that it shows that he loves her and shows the compassion of Lee Anbi and Zhang Ailing, but I think , It was just his momentary sentiment, the sentiment was mixed with pride, a beautiful woman who was so confused for him and killed for him, their relationship can be considered complete. The completeness in traditional Chinese culture is nothing more than that. The old prostitutes of traditional Chinese culture enjoy such bloody and simple sentimentality. The moment Mr. Yi stayed in bed was no different from the two triumphant books that Hu Lancheng wrote many years later. They prefer to appreciate rather than invest, including appreciation and playing with their own sentimentality, because sentimentality is the final completion and the aftermath that a legend must have.
This is not amazing. The most amazing thing is the black water pool in the abandoned mine in the southern suburbs of the last scene. "Lust, Caution" became a thriller and even a horror film. Is that black water pool heralding their fate? No, maybe it points to the darkest, most irrational in human nature, that black water pool, that unfathomable abyss that I don't know its origin and when it will come into play. Ang Li analyzed it for a long time, and still had no answer - there would be no answer, only to give everything to this black water pool that shocked me. The dirty, gloomy, and bleak atmosphere of "Lust, Caution" has been fulfilled here.
The movie "Lust, Caution" also helped me solve a long-standing question (please note that I borrowed a sentence from "The Last Whereabouts of Female Artists"), that is why Zhang Ailing suddenly withered, no matter in words In terms of output, or the temperament of words, why is she suddenly so cold and depressed? Because of the movie "Lust, Caution", I know. In the past, Eileen Chang seemed to know the truth of life. In fact, she didn't know. She pretended to know. She was still a young man. She only had the potential to know. Her knowledge was presupposed and dramatic, so her novels No matter how cold and desperate, but still love in the bones, the text is so rich and full, after Hu Lancheng, after the great age, she really knows the truth of life, so "Yangko" and "Love in the Red Land" can be read as horror novels. Ruins, disappearances, slaughter, desolate and monotonous radio female voices by the Yellow River, and human skins in Zaolin, she was terrified by the truth of life she saw and learned. She had to hide like a witness in the witness protection plan. Go to a far, desolate place and try not to say what you know. Even if you say it, no one believes it. She is ruined and she can’t get rich anymore. From then on, she is only left ", there is no more "Hua", "Lust, Caution" is the same, "Lust, Caution" is talented, and "Lust, Caution" has a potential black water pool. Before Zhang Ailing, she was still a pink, looking decadent and beautiful, and she was desperately making silly jokes, but she was still a pink, if there was hope in her heart, the moon in the night seemed to her like a shining phoenix breast, and later Ailing Zhang , Is a black water pool.
