But until she went to seduce the captain, when the little "Lust and Caution" feeling gradually became stronger, she slowly and involuntarily turned towards her. Proof of that, the protagonists in Paul's films are "positive, though not noble." ——But in such a big environment, who can ask how noble they are, when they are humble but still active in order to survive. There is no national concept of integrity and national integrity in Lust and Caution, nor Wang Jiazhi's ladylike temperament and girlish feelings. Rachel is just a woman who will risk her life to survive. Although they also fall in love with their seductive objects, they are also bought by diamonds. Different hearts, she was moved by the captain's feelings for the family, and luckily the captain also fell in love with her.
Unlike those who have lofty ideals, Rachel only strives for survival, and at the same time does not completely give up her principles. In the prison after liberation, what she sees is a kind of justice, but it is just a difference of victory and defeat. The transformation, the revenge of the weak in the past, the humiliation of the strong now, at this moment, I have to like that arrogant and disdainful look. A woman who also seeks a living in the military can freely roam between the two camps before and after the war, but Rachel can't do it. When facing the murderer of her parents, she almost lost her temper and heard that her lover was executed in the clinic. After the news, she almost collapsed, but still, she took revenge in her own way, living on, no matter the ominous future hinted at at the end of the film, but I believe that such a woman can survive unyielding in any environment, this way His life cannot be described as noble, but it is full of the positive meaning of meaningful life.
The depth of the film and the response of the market may always be the fish and bear's paw that the director pursues. Paul is not the kind of director who gives up the box office for the sake of the movie's popularity. In pursuit of watchability, the suspenseful turning point highlighted in the second half of the film is obviously not there. More preparations have been made before, especially the real traitor seems so abrupt. After all, people used real guns and live ammunition to rob prison. Even if it is said that it is not easy to escape and ascend to heaven, although the contrast before and after brings visibility, However, rationality was sacrificed; lawyers were silenced because of their professional ethics, which is completely the need for the development of the plot in traditional reasoning dramas; and the part where Rachel used chocolate to escape, do the following people think that it is common for a woman to jump off a building thing? The captain's escape and execution are too hasty and unreasonable, and the director's grasp of the film's rhythm and time span is not perfect.
