Also, although I didn't burst into tears, I finally shed a handful of tears, and I felt uncomfortable for a long time, but I couldn't help myself. Those emotions that flowed in like a tide and receded quickly, if I don’t write them again, I’m afraid I’ll forget them.
In fact, it has been polluted by spoilers before, and there is basically no suspense about the storyline. All the preparations to be made are ready, just waiting for the moment when the transformation from hearing and imagination to real images appears in front of you.
During the summer vacation, I looked for the original novel of "Lust, Caution". It was very short, but difficult to understand. The first time I swept it hastily, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what I was talking about. However, looking at it again, Zhang Ailing's ruthlessness and desolation diffused little by little. It's cold, really.
And Li An is connected with the word "warm" after all, gentle, warm and gentle. He really understood Zhang Ailing, such a short text supported such a full 159 minutes, but his interpretation was much warmer than Zhang's.
But even so, it still can't change the shivering tone of this movie and life.
It is not without the years and eyes of youth. University drama club, exciting performances, "Graduation Song" in the rain, the wind passing by on the double-decker tram, clean shirts and young, fiery faces, secret admiration and affection. In Lingnan, where the trees are fresh and green and the rain is abundant, it flourishes like an early summer.
That day, when she was wandering on the stage, he called her from a high place, "Wang Jiazhi", and everything was different from then on. The assassination planned by several students was almost a farce, but she paid that price suddenly.
What is the purpose of those beautiful things that have passed away suddenly? The answers to the questions make it hard to read.
However, she is just a woman with a quiet face, but in reality she hides intense happiness and decisive loneliness. It is not easy for such a woman to comfort herself and live peacefully.
Therefore, three years ago and three years later, she did not say a word, lured the enemy with her body, and walked coldly into the Longtan Tiger's Den with disguise and cruel talent. For the first love? To serve the country by hoeing? Or would you rather treat survival as a drama, play a streamer with life as a bet, and splash a few strokes of color on the canvas of life? ——Even if I have to watch and applaud by myself.
She doesn't think of herself as a spy, she only thinks of herself as Mrs. Mak. A Mrs. Mak whose life has been turned upside down with Wang Jiazhi. How can it be bad?
However, this perfection is still broken after all. She died.
Does she love that man named Yi Mocheng? She was willing to save his life and kill herself. And maybe it's not love, at least that's what Eileen Chang said, that kind of emotion is so strong that it's nothing but emotion.
Does Mr. Yi love her? This is definitely not calculated, no lover will execute each other. Li An was a little more merciful than Zhang Ailing, but only a little more tears in his eyes.
They are just two lonely people, wandering in the world with the long road, struggling fiercely in the inner wolf under the pressure of external forces; then they occasionally meet, carrying each other with broken and hated Soul; and then, with a thrilling courage, they showed each other a little, a little sincerity.
No matter where this courage and this heart come from, from sex, or from love.
In any case, they gave each other a little sincerity. Such a small amount of sincerity can already trigger strong and explosive feelings, and then drag them into the next round to give each other a little sincere adventure. Trembling with fear, trembling with excitement.
Is this color? It's color. This is the biggest and only existence that two people have caught in this dark life.
So I thought of another sentence by Eileen Chang, "Love in a Fallen City". Fan Liuyuan and Bai Liusu said that if one day our civilization is completely destroyed, perhaps only this wall will be left. If we had met under this wall at that time, maybe you would have a little sincerity with me, and I would have a little sincerity with you.
Sincerely about that. Against eternity.
But, that's the truth. She died.
The biggest difference between a man and a woman is that a man can give the same sincerity to a woman, but this sincerity must never harm the man himself. I would rather lose this sincerity and fall into the bottomless life of darkness.
And women are different. Because of this sincerity, she couldn't breathe, so her life and drama ended together. How could she not understand the ending, but she was even more disheartened about life without this sincerity, and could no longer act. After she let him go, she walked up and down the street in a daze. At that moment, she was full of lost emptiness and helplessness.
She couldn't quit, so she died; he could, so he lived.
Everyone gets what they want. It's just that that really fades away.
So I actually feel that this is just a pretense of a war background. The patriotic young female spy and the big traitor are all vague, and it is no wonder that they are criticized for their political stance. What about politics.
Between men and women, changing time, place and way, this kind of story is not being staged from ancient times to the present.
Not to mention the coldness of life and the bitterness of human nature.
Watching this film, it will not be distracting, but it will not be intense. It's just that the discomfort in my heart is getting more and more blocked. Cold and disturbing. I drank water in a movie theater, and then unconsciously squeezed the mineral water bottle in my hand.
The most intense emotions were actually when they were performing the drama. The drama was really successful. After 70 years of time and space, I was actually incited like the audience in the film.
Then there was a scene where Kuang Yumin swore to Wang Jiazhi that I would not let you get hurt. Angry, the damage has been done Can't you see? Ignorance or shamelessness. ——However, in the end, seeing him being arrested for her betrayal and smiling at her before he was executed, I forgave him for that.
Ang Lee did not disappoint, always delicate and precise. Then there is Eileen Chang's pride and talent. The film is very good. In every way. Not only a talented film but also a serious film.
Actors, Tony Leung is good, Leehom Wang is also good, both of them have some problems with their Mandarin, but the audience in Hong Kong may not be able to hear them.
(Speaking of the language of this film, it is really mixed, Mandarin Cantonese, Shanghai dialect, Sichuan dialect, Suzhou dialect and English, Japanese, Indian, it seems that the director and actors have worked hard. I am quite proud, except for Japanese I understand Hindi, haha.)
The best actor is Tang Wei. It doesn't feel contrived at all, neither too much nor too little. She is not good-looking, and the appearance of playing a Jiangnan Jasper seems to be a little worse, and the three white eyes make people feel more hostile, but she really has the temperament of Wang Jiazhi. There are a few scenes that are particularly well-executed and unforgettable, such as when preparing to be Mr. Yi's mistress and being forced to lose his life, such as when he receives a call from Mrs. Yi saying that he wants to go back to Shanghai, such as when he explodes out of control against Lao Wu, For example, when he was hesitating on the street after finally letting Mr. Yi go.
Eh, bed scene, it is said that I went to Hong Kong just to watch this uncensored version of the tertiary film, quack. The scale is really big, but it's not pornographic at all... It's still uncomfortable to watch.
