I have to say, very good, although there were a few times in the middle when I felt uncomfortable, and a few times when I was separated from my emotions, it was all good - "good" is based on the evaluation of the movie, only the evaluation of the movie, Rather than the category of ideology, theme, speculation, etc., but honestly, if ideology is stripped away, how good is it? ! Let’s talk about the key first. Those few bed scenes were very well done. The audio-visual language of the movie is no longer wordy, and it takes a lot of brains. In terms of body position and difficulty factor, it is very creative. I press the pause button from time to time. I have to check carefully, who is the leg on the screen, um, very advanced, I have to say, because I am a relatively conservative old man in terms of eroticism, and I have had a handful of sexes in the first half of my life. They all use the basic postures that everyone is used to, which is lackluster, so this film opened my eyes. After I went to bed at night, I was still pondering the postures, and I was holding the pillow and pulling my legs to figure out a thing or two, and I got cramps accidentally. .
If I want to comment, my favorite is the first sex scene, which is the scenes between Tang Wei and her only male classmate who has sexual experience, especially the detail: the first time, that idiot climbed up After that, there was no movement for a long time, and the embarrassment and restraint reached the extreme. After a pause, Tang Wei opened his eyes, and then put his arms around him empathetically to show encouragement and full of curiosity, hope, a little helplessness, and possible longing...then It was the little detail of a virgin being forced to sleep with a man she didn't like for the first time that moved me to tears.
As a digression, when a movie floods the sky and all kinds of comments come flooding in, I usually choose to avoid it, preferring to find a few little-known independent small productions to watch, and when the wind is calm, I turned out the discs I bought before and watched it. I felt that it was more practical, and I would not be swayed by the noise. The same is true for this "Lust, Caution", and more importantly, we are all waiting for the full unabridged version. The movie is like intercourse. , is a non-material experience process, determined by undetermined factors, experiencing them requires subjective mood, objective environment and mutual cooperation, and the deletion destroys not only the integrity, but the whole, similar to "foreplay, middle play, cutscenes" The play, the process play, the climax play, and the after play need to be complete and inseparable. Just imagine that without any of the processes in the middle, would you feel good?
When I saw Tony Leung's two silver balls, I was completely separated, dumbfounded, and sat up from the sofa, no wonder the poet thought they were doing "real work", and I too I was in a trance for a while, and I thought to myself that female audiences would definitely be more cool than me at this time, especially those female audiences who like Tony Leung. When it comes to acting, I have to say that Tony Leung's acting is very difficult. Although he is expressive and accurate, it is very difficult. He tried his best to experience the rudeness and elegance of the big traitor, tried his best to experience the director's requirements, tried his best to control and release, but he made it very difficult. Tired, I'm very tired of watching, I speculate that there must be something in Tony Leung's heart that resists, so that his performance shows the emotion of venting his anger; but it is better than Wang Leehom, but the director's choice of Wang Leehom is Wisely, I think, this is also my villain's heart to speculate, the box office call goes without saying, the director just needs a puppet, a face mask, blunt and dry, he is a handsome boy, no more, his role It was decided that he could not steal the show. He was a handsome boy symbol representing pure feelings, first love, and nothing to do with animal desires. But for the enthusiasm of the revolution, the frenzy of youth, the poetic two-ball, the hooligan's fake justice requires explosive force, and Wang Leehom can't do it at all! He is an egg under the Stars and Stripes, born in the sun and grown in a honeypot, how do you know what a revolution is? ! Tang Wei's play, in fact, I don't think it's very good, it's more than jerky and restrained, but lacks brilliance; Passive to active, from girl to woman, from suffering to desire, from task to self-consciousness, from sex to love, from love to reality) can be seen, but it is superficial. In the final analysis, this is a Hollywood movie. Instead of the eastern cultural system, the target audience is Western audiences, curious peeps, vulgar and careless big eyes. This is determined by film culture, the market and the times. Ang Lee has done his best. Today, at the moment, and this is not something he can decide, as far as the delicate and graceful things are worth playing and aftertaste, this The movie is not as good as Wong Kar Wai's "In the Mood for Love". But it's also pretty good. Ang Lee has great taste and is also very smart. When it comes to the eastern civilization system, look at Xiaojin's film, Fei Mu's "Spring in a Small Town", those are delicate and readable meticulous paintings, but obviously these things are outdated and not suitable for the current aesthetic appeal and consumption. appeal.
The flaws do not cover up Yu, or Yu does not cover up the flaws. Anyway, if I were the director, I would definitely not use these people to play. Hmm...Let me think about it, Sun Honglei will play the traitor, Gao Yuanyuan will play the student girl, Geng Le, no no no Liu Ye will play the second ball, that's it!
One more digression, my mentality of watching movies and reviewing movies is constantly changing. About a year ago, I didn’t talk about any other topics about movies other than audio-visual language at all. I felt that those had nothing to do with me. What to do, what method to choose, good or bad, suitable or inappropriate; later I felt that this was a bit extreme, after all, ideology and artistry are closely related to technical activities; and later, I refused to mention audio-visual language matters, feeling that It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, whether it's suitable or not, that's what it is anyway, and the filming is over. Later, I took the film as a personal act, the director created a personalized work, and I, as an independent conscious, The audience showed it. This process is a purely subjective exposure and obscenity process, and it has no value to share. Later, I viewed the movie as an activity. To put it mildly, it is a business, a commercial behavior, This is completely deviating from artistry, it is not a subjective act, it is a public act, an industrial act; after I suffered some setbacks, my mentality became much calmer, forbearance and tolerance, I tried to understand and tolerate every director, Every actor, even every critic who doesn't understand movies; now, at this moment, I return myself as an audience, watch movies I like, scold those I don't like, be moved, disgusted, and even educated, Crying and laughing along, there is no rational analysis, reasoning, only acceptance, passive, extremely emotional, and just fine.
Movies have ideals and pursuits. As far as this "Lust, Caution" is concerned: the trinity of human nature-animal nature-sociality determines a character's motives and behaviors, and ultimately determines her destiny. Correspondingly, It's the love-sexuality-politics trinity. It is impossible to explain the ideal of this film without mentioning social ideology, but it is a little biased to evaluate a work of art with a simple value judgment and a national standpoint. In fact, we Chinese are accustomed to understanding things in this way, and we always subconsciously put social functions before human nature and animal nature. Living in a society where political class consciousness is above everything else, we take it for granted, and it is commonplace, and it is integrated into our blood. This has something to do with the Cultural Revolution and our special state and political system, and I am the same. When I saw the eyes of those wolves and the Japanese devils, my heart sank for a while, and I felt very uncomfortable, but it was really unnecessary and unnecessary. Before watching the movie, I occasionally took a look and reprinted an article on a friend's blog commenting on "Lust, Caution", called "Whose dick grows on? It's a big class issue", I think this is also a big deal No need, because after all, there is ideology in this movie, and it determines the behavior and fate of the protagonist, so it is necessary to discuss, it is indeed a question of who grows on it.
I know where the problem lies, because we have seen too few movies, there is no chance to compare, no chance to accept, and of course, there is a lack of judgment angle, and we can only stop at the big end and the small end. on the part. Our film critics, lacking a coordinate system to refer to, are short-sighted and have to bow their heads and grab their dicks and hold on to class struggle. "Black Book" also has the plot of members of the underground resistance organization to seduce the Nazi officer, and the screenwriter gave her a history of bitterness and hatred. Her biological parents and brothers died at the hands of this officer. It was also later that I became emotional and staged a fake drama of love from beginning to end, but people made it quite generous, not so pathetic, and only talked about the fate of individuals, people's emotions and desires, and the times played down. Background, war is just an opportunity, talent is the protagonist, we watch them challenge the world, find happiness, strive to live, and strive to love, and naturally gradually forget about politics, class, ideology and even morality, but I can't say that this is not A good movie, or it is an immoral movie, although when I watch it, sometimes I will be filled with righteous indignation, but it is purely because the actress is so good, why let him do it Now, don't let me... Seriously, the film is made in the Netherlands. During World War II, the Netherlands was occupied by the Germans very early. We can hardly regard it as an occupation, because the killing in the real sense of war is almost No, the resistance movement is also very small, even more appeasement and ambiguous than the French. The ultimate goal of the Germans is to destroy the Soviet Union, and they have not ravaged other races on the European continent except the Jews. From the history of the Netherlands, The Dutch have always been free from right and wrong and principled. They have no strong national complex. They have been known for advocating individual liberation, democracy and freedom since ancient times. Now Amsterdam is also synonymous with freedom. You can often see it in the lyrics of rock songs. In this city and country, sexual freedom is exerted to the extreme. Almost all actions that do not harm others are legal. Many independent organizations are headquartered in Amsterdam, because it is very human and free, and the law does not work, such as It is said that the Netherlands is the first country to legalize gay marriage. For example, the social welfare of the Dutch government includes the provision of prostitution funds from the state treasury, and free sex partners once a week for unemployed and insecure Dutch citizens...
So it makes sense that this great movie was born in the Netherlands. Not only us, but many Western critics have also valued this movie, but how can I put it, a movie is a movie, and a movie is just a movie.
In "Eavesdropping Storm", the poet's wife is forced to sleep with the anti-human government minister of culture. The purpose is not desire, but self-protection and protection of her seemingly great but weak husband. We have no right to judge her; her husband Well, it's even more worthy of criticism. It's too much. He clearly knows that his beloved wife has given him a green hat and pretends to be deaf. What's his position? ! The sexy woman in "Love in Budapest" (also translated as Melancholy Sunday) not only sleeps with her husband, but also sleeps with her husband's employee, a fake pianist pretending to be an artist, and what's worse, the three of them sleep together, In the end, a Nazi officer came, and she...she she she she she she actually... Where did she throw her class stance to TMD? ! When I was typing the string of "she she she she she", I was actually thinking of another movie, Zhang Fengyi's line in "Farewell My Concubine", "He sings for the landlord, Lao Cai, for the Kuomintang reactionaries, and for his wife. Sing, sing for the Japanese devils, he he he he he he she, he also sings to the big drama tyrant Yuan Shiqing!" - You see, we didn't make a fuss, just paid attention to who she slept with, how, why, and when she slept. It's not cool or not, not what class and symbol this love beast represents, this is the movie.
Let’s talk about this movie, we are always entangled in the meaning of Lust, Caution, love and sexuality, love and ideals, desire and morality, traitors and justice, even Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing, Li Anhe Eileen Chang, and all definitions that equate human nature, animal nature and social nature are meaningless. I think, I'm afraid we are overestimating Wang Jiazhi. How old is she? A little girl who is under 20 years old and has no sexual experience, what do you want her to carry? ! ——In my opinion, she can't even bear the meaning of love, because she has never talked about love, and she can only be regarded as a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love. sex? What was sex to her, a tool, at first, then terrified, disgusted, bored, but gradually tasted the sweetness, a little unfinished, and that's all? ! She has slept with two men in total. The first one was a crappy coach. You asked her to clarify the relationship between sexual desire, love, and even conscience. Are you embarrassing her? ! She can't even talk about love from beginning to end. It's not necessarily the case that the dog traitor was killed. Justice, ideals and revolutionary sentiments are not to mention. If you take her original decision and motive for her actions as this, then you are even more mistaken. For this character, this child, we should focus on her original motives. At this point, Ang Lee had long expected that the people of China would avoid the real and make false ones, and avoid the important and understand it lightly, so the important point is I took several strokes to tell the audience (there is no such thing in Zhang Ailing's novels) that it is not that complicated, not that complicated. I already feel that these superfluous additions by Ang are very deliberate, but they are still misread by everyone. "Alas, it's just so helpless," Li An said in an interview with Xinhua. Wang Jiazhi's father is in the UK, and she even remarried, her younger brother was taken over, her mother died, and she was left alone in the war. In Hong Kong, her only fun is her ignorant affection for Wang Leehom and acting. Bring a little sense of accomplishment, (please note that acting brings her a sense of accomplishment is very important) In Shanghai, she endured a cold face and depended on others, so when the leader of the army made a wish and said that after completing the task, she would be sent to the United Kingdom. At times, she will be very concerned about... That's why the story happens, these are the motives of the plot. Next, have you noticed her transformation? Li An has used a lot of brush and ink to describe here, meticulous, delicate and vivid, and explained, from her manners, makeup, walking posture, to her attitude towards comrades ... not so complicated, not so complicated, she is actually just a child, a little girl with vanity, also has her own romantic feelings and the pursuit of beauty and happiness, and also has the possibility of being unable to withstand material temptations, fickle, affectionate And fragile, not too much, not too much at all, everything is so natural, this is an ordinary girl, she is also very realistic, very material, and very vain, sitting in a black car is also very beautiful , when carrying Xiaokun's bag, he is also very high-end, and when he is pretending to be a rich young grandma, he is also very into the play, and his eyes will light up when he sees diamonds. All girls are like this, most of them. , it's not over. Let me sum it up, she is a silly girl, in order to escape from the hell of war, in order to realize her ideal of acting, in order to get the attention of her classmates, especially the boy she has a crush on, she will betray her looks to achieve a In the eyes of others, being incomparably tall is just a task for her. Later, things went wrong. She didn't know whether she liked her prey or the process of hunting. She guessed that she was probably She fell in love with the guy who played opposite her, but she was not sure about the novelty of love. Then she was confused by her vanity and accidentally got into the play. She was so involved that she lost the lines and the director. Forget it. When she saw the big shining diamond ring, her defense line completely collapsed. She didn't think it was necessary to betray her lover. Maybe they could continue like this until the end of the war. Unexpectedly, this assless gangster is very heartless. When she knelt on the execution ground, she regretted and cried... It's over.
If you must add a topic, it might be "Which man is not lewd? Which woman is not pregnant? " It's
about entering the play, about girls' fantasies (including sexual fantasies and fantasies about beauty and happiness) that are incompatible with the tragic reality. I remembered a novel written by Zweiger, the title of which I forgot. But I remember that it was his last novel, unknown, rarely read, not even discovered before his death (his apartment in Brazil and Mrs. Ci both committed suicide), only recently. The novel that I discovered and published, written in German, is very good-looking. It is one of my favorite Western literary works, although I forgot the name. I read it in one go on a train journey. After that, I was devastated for a whole week. I felt sympathy for the heavens and the people, and my heart was filled with panic.
Yo, I accidentally wrote it again, but you can choose, maybe, jump and watch?
[Ula~ I found it, I just moved, and I confiscated my collection of books in a mess. The title is "The Intoxication of Deformation" - it is recognized in literary history that Zweig only wrote one full-length novel in his life, that is "The Anxiety of the Mind" , In fact, there is this one, and, in my opinion, this is his best novel, at least my favorite one. 】
