It can be said that Ang Lee indirectly aroused my confidence in men. For a long time, men have been defined as certain male animals that cannot read women’s hearts but only need to be scented by women. The overwhelming articles in magazines are all instructing us on how to forgive men’s animality, fight against them, and defend our emotional world. Territorial integrity. But when women do this, they will find that love is far from being as simple as imagined, and it is not even an equivalent exchange transaction. If you are not a master of love psychology, all your efforts are often counterproductive, and eventually you will be exhausted and all your innocence will be gone. Love is a process of destroying flowers by hand.
Zhang Ailing, the original work of Lust Jie, has long been known to be a master of romance. It is said that in order to write lust, she turned to her old lover Hu Lancheng to help her collect information for the authenticity of the material. Tang Wei played Wang Jiazhi alive, which can no longer be described as stunning. Her naked body may have amazed people who have never watched a third-level film with integrity. But her love is more naked than the body, unreserved, and arrogantly, it penetrated deeply into my heart. Desperate and cold like a snake. When she fiddled with the pink diamond ring called the dove egg, and Mr. Yi reluctantly said goodbye with his eyes, and said, let's go. I knew that the illusion of warmth between them came to an abrupt end at this moment. Mr. Yi rushed out immediately. His footsteps were too fast, and his heart to escape was too manifest, eclipsing the brilliance of the diamond ring and his love with Wang Jiazhi. It just adds to the tragedy and even the funny atmosphere when the love ends in a hurry. However, Wang Jiazhi's wish was fulfilled, and Mr. Yi in the encircled circle escaped smoothly. My heart is twisted in front of the screen. Then I realized that I had unknowingly fallen in love with Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi's ultimate journey of erotic desire from sexual desire to erotic desire to love to death.
I have always liked the rich expression of love in movies. Perhaps this is related to my long-term monotonous life. As the only way to carry my most intuitive emotional experience, movies have made me place infinite expectations. Lust, Caution, finally did not let this expectation fail. If you want to make an analogy, Lust Caution is a movie that allows people to achieve both psychological and physical climaxes at the same time. But the process of watching it is painful, and the camera's dissociation and uncertainty make my heart completely chaotic. A few glamorous young women playing mahjong hold up the gorgeous, extravagant, gloomy and bloody background of the whole movie. The endless market news spit out from their red lips are elegant, but they have puns. Put the other side to death in open and dark fights. Wang Jiazhi mingled among them, her slightly nervous melody greeted her, and she was just right reserved with an indescribable charm. When she pretended to leave her phone number to Mrs. Yi and actually wrote it to Mr. Yi, Chen Chong played Mrs. Yi’s voice, Mrs. Mai, I have your phone number. Let my blood get cold.
Lust Caution reproduces the true success of art, and Chen Chong's performance is indispensable. She was a symbol of old Shanghai in that era, exuding the most vulgar elegance and the most elegant vulgarity all over her body. Her gestures and gestures are all drama, the calm and calm, and even the helpless old traitor's smooth and sophisticated world, and the eager anxiety that Wang Jiazhi can't help but express her feelings and intentions formed a sharp contrast. Luz Jie has no intention to represent the war between the two women, because Wang Jiazhi has never had the honour to be a rival with Mrs. Yi. So at the end of the film, Mrs. Yi, played by Chen Chong, stood in the shadows and asked Mr. Yi about Mrs. Mai’s luggage being roughly swept away, which caused the latter's unquestionable prevarication. She forever closed her mouth to ask again. This also symbolizes that Wang Jiazhi, who failed the assassination and executed the pseudonym Mrs. Mai, has forever retired from the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Yi and his wife.
Ang Lee is indeed a master of details. There are many thought-provoking or tear-jerking details in the film. From the numb and dim eyes of the people lining up to receive relief, to Mr. Yi's peaceful and natural gaze facing the assassins because he fell in love with Wang Jiazhi and lost his vigilance. In praising Ang Lee's exquisite lens handling, his calmness and cruelty can be seen in the evolution of each plot.
The story of Lust Caution should start from Lingnan University. Six enthusiastic young people rehearsed a drama in order to awaken the patriotism of the indifferent Hong Kong people. With a roar of "China cannot die", the play was a huge success and raised a sum of money for charity. It is this kind of success that makes these purely patriotic young people have unrealistic illusions---moving the stage to reality and killing a famous traitor. And the leader of the six college students, Wang Leehom, played by Kwong Yumin, has a bloody family background. Therefore, his fanaticism has incited the female classmates who have always had a good impression of him, and Wang Jiazhi has joined and cooperated.
As a result, Wang Jiazhi was caught in this farce under the guise of patriotism. She tried her best to get close to Mr. Yi and even got him a great favor. However, the sudden departure of Mr. and Mrs. Yi and his wife due to the sudden change of the war broke the success of these students' plans. However, as a female college student who has just begun to love her, Wang Jiazhi has paid the most painful price. In order to cope with Mr. Yi's lust at any time, she and a playboy who lingers in a brothel among her classmates really tried the matter of men and women. Frankly speaking, I think everyone has deep pity for Wang Jiazhi. She agreed to play such a difficult role as a spy, so that she would not hesitate to practice sex with others, Mr. Seduced Mr. Yi, the biggest motivation is because of her love for Kwong Yumin. And Kuang Yumin, who kept saying that she would not let anyone hurt her, but in the name of patriotism, put her in the arms of another boy without any pity at the critical moment in the name of patriotism. Wang Jiazhi had only one first night. Every woman is the same. Usually we care about whether a woman is still a virgin, because a woman who is not a virgin naturally loses that purity. It's physical, but it's spiritual.
Tang Wei competently completed the conversion of Wang Jiazhi's identities between a female college student and a young woman. But after all, Wang Jiazhi is not a professional agent, and lacks the skills of getting along between men and women. When she realizes that she has some kind of personal affection for Mr. Yi, she hopes that the organization will act as soon as possible to assassinate Mr. Yi. When she learned that they were not allowed to take any action in the organization, she finally collapsed, lost all moral defense, and was captured by Mr. Yi. The way that Mr. Yi took her possession for the first time was abnormal and rude. The way of torturing similar to rape was obviously beyond Wang Jiazhi's expectations, but it did not arouse her disgust. As the most unexpected way, it directly occupied Wang Jiazhi's turbulent heart. For not a short period of time, her special mission has made her vacillate in her erotic desire and mission. Regarding the sex scene, I think it is definitely the soul of the film. The abridged version of Lust Caution is lost, and there is only Caution. Perhaps the SARFT's arbitrary one-size-fits-all cut made this great movie alively cut off 90% of its meaning.
Some time ago, the media was entangled in the film whether Tang Wei and Tony Leung "fight the real army". I think this is not only a low-level taste, but also a blasphemy for these two great actors. Tony Leung once said that even as a professional actor, the moment of undressing is still painful. Therefore, Tang Wei and Tony Leung have won my great respect for their professionalism. Tony Leung’s limbs convulsed due to the coming of orgasm, and his vigilant eyes intertwined with fear all the time. We fell in love with Tony Leung for too many reasons, and fell in love with his interpretation of Mr. Yi.
In Mr. Yi, we rarely find the shadow of Tony Leung. This is Tony Leung's greatest success. Close to perfection. It is said that these three sex scenes were filmed for seven days and seven nights. The sex action that may not appear in the bed of ordinary people, the scale is wide, it should be regarded as unprecedented. I think only Japanese AV can be compared. But such an outrageous or even vicious erotic drama, there is no sense of obscenity in the eyes. It just made me believe in Wang Jiazhi's love. She told us in a narration that Mr. Yi, who had sex with her in a difficult position, got into her body like a snake, and even into her soul.
It is precisely because the love and desire of a woman are never inseparable. Regardless of whether it is the body or the mind, one day, love and desire will be unified and enthusiastically concentrated in the same man.
Finally, I will talk about a lens that I will not forget for a long time. When Wang Jiazhi put the pink six-carat diamond ring inlaid with broken diamonds on her finger, she admired the diamond ring, while Mr. Yi admired her contentedly, his expression of love made his face a rare look. Water tenderness. This shot made me choked with emotion. A lot of fantasies are circling in my mind: If I also met such a Mr. Yi, then I would hope to be the unshakable Mrs. Yi who warmed his feet by his side but never really walked into his heart. I would still experience with him. Wang Jiazhi, who fell in love and received his only love and favor represented by the diamond ring?
The answer is no answer.
