The manuscript of "Lust Caution" by Zhang Ailing was exhibited in the library of the University of Hong Kong during the film's release. The manuscript was a response to Mr. "Foreigners"'s criticism of her "beautifying traitors" after the novel was published. She said that traitors also have love and hate. (Unexpectedly, decades later, she will face the same question again.)
Also exhibited are her diary, a photo of when she was a student of Hong Kong University, and a still photo of Lust Caution. The photo is attached to a sentence from the novel: "By the University of Hong Kong Classrooms are crowded and squeezed together during class and after class.... It is inevitable that there is a feeling of being under the fence. The indifference of ordinary people in Hong Kong to state affairs is also
infuriating .” It can be seen that in addition to Zhang's commemoration of the prototype Zheng Pingru, "Lust Caution" Perhaps it also contained feelings for the "traitor lover" Hu Lancheng, or entrusted her ideals to the country.
Ang Lee's movie was also shot at the University of Hong Kong. The Lu Youtang in the movie is really the Lu Youtang in the novel, and it is the Lu Youtang of Wang Jiazhi and Zhang Ailing. Not only the auditorium, Li An said, the tables and Zhong Kui statues used by Mr. Yi were also from the Republic of China. ( Http://news.21cn.com/today/legend/2007/09/28/3578716.shtml )
They regard a story as a piece of history, personal or national, and use text or lens stroke by stroke. . Because this story is a woman who lives her life seriously.
At first, she might have joined an ambitious plan for her love for Kwong Yumin.
After dedicating her virginity to this plan, she may be serious about acting as Mrs. Mai in order to win the respect of others in this national salvation team.
After becoming Mrs. Mai, I may be serious about being Lao Yi’s mistress, or seriously making love to him, because: "Every time I spend time with Lao Yi, it’s like taking a hot bath and washing away the depression. , Because everything has a purpose."
Everyone has seen these plots.
But you can't see the morning after losing her virginity, she stood in front of the window and looked out, her naked body.
You can't see that the first time she was almost raped by Mr. Yi, Yi left, she was lying on the bed as if taking time out, but showing a slight smile for completing the task.
You can't see her having sex with Mr. Yi after he was tried by the prisoner, being pressed under her body and holding her head.
I couldn't see her and his naked body mingling together on the purple bed, it seemed that one was a host, and the other was sucking the life of the other.
You only saw her. The next day a bitch was insulted by Mr. Yi, she flirted with her and said I hate you, do you know what, and then fell into his arms.
I only saw her yelling pretentiously in front of Kwong Yumin and the leader: "He wants me to cry and make me cry and bleed. He is a viper, and he wants to get into my heart." In contrast, Kwong Yumin said: "I don't It will hurt you." It's not too hateful.
You saw her mistakenly walked into the house of a Japanese geisha, the drunk man fell under her feet, she coldly watched the boss’s wife ask her girl to serve the man, then walked to Mr. Yi’s house dignifiedly and sang a sweet song .
How do you want to get one night after night, she does the same job as those girls.
You see her tempted by the ring; you can't see her having such humiliation and gasping, maybe it's really that fragile, but a gesture of love.
Later, the storyteller cut her story, cut off her tears, pain, struggling and screaming, cut her face into a frivolous and stupid silhouette, cut the manuscript paper, cut the film, cut out the people's pity Her possibility.
