Spy war three-level film: Lust and Caution can be the main theme of patriotic education and red classics. Many people really see it this way. The beauty plan to assassinate the traitor all the way is also very beautiful. In the end, the girl is nervous, the traitor is cunning, and the success falls short. The martyr goes to the execution ground, and the enemy sheds tears. Spirit. After the show, I heard an uncle say that assassinations were successful in the past, but this film is quite special because it depicts failed assassinations. I think Ang Lee must be happy, this is the super feature of this perfect work, which is justified at all levels and by all audiences. The so-called three-level film, needless to say.
Love literary film: It is still an ethical film, which is a common understanding. It is clearly written assassination and real love between men and women, and it is the lust warning of the poor and pathetic Mr. Wang Jiazhi Yi. Whether it's Wang Jiazhi and Yi Mocheng, Zheng Pingru and Ding Mocun, or Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng, there are so many comments, I won't talk about it anymore, this article only talks about suspense. As a digression, "Mocheng" is Mr. Yi's name, which appears four times in the film, including business cards, signatures, calligraphy in the study, and seals on the desk. It means doing things without saying anything. Say "Easy. The first chapter of the copula: "Silent and unspoken, but faith and virtue". Synthesized into Yi (Book of Changes) by default. Mocheng is a combination of two prototype names, Ding Mocun and Hu Lancheng. It is Yi's personality and the answer to the mystery of "doing things in silence" that I will reveal later. Just from the design of this name, Wang Huiling and Li An really have the help of gods. Is it Zhang Ailing in heaven? She also gave the original novel. What about the name in the original book - Jiazhi -? It means ring, and the pronunciation is exactly the same in Shanghai dialect.
Historical and political films: or political fables, this is not something that the general audience can see, it is extremely complicated, and probably needs to be studied by the academic community. Some scholars are studying whether Ang Lee has hidden his own political ideas or demands in this film. In the movie, Kwong Yumin said during rehearsal, "A little left, a little left, and come again", which is very meaningful. The words of ordinary people on the blockade line are also unique. Are the abyss and the groaning of college students a movie narrative with intention? Many film language reflects that Ang Lee has worked hard in this area, and the war is difficult and difficult. As for what historical and political views are hidden in the film, whether many characters and scenes represent or symbolize the political symbols in reality, fables. The civil war and political struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, etc., are not the concern of this article.
Black suspense films: or detective films, etc., are Hitchcockian themes. No matter how long the suspenseful film is suspended, it must be finally solved or given a clear prompt, such as "Rear Window", "Butterfly Dream", "Seven Deadly Sins", etc. The audience clearly knows the suspense, and even if they are confused, they can quickly themselves or through others. Think it out. But Ang Lee was just puzzled, but it aroused my interest, and turned it into a study for the audience to guess and solve cases. This is the first and possibly the last film since the invention of the film by the Lumiere brothers in 1895, which requires the audience to solve the case by themselves. The material must not make the audience suspicious, and it must also allow smart people to be able to deduce the only hidden plot in a rigorous and reasonable way. This technique not only staggers the living, but also makes the dead explode (exaggeration?). Ms. Li Anwang's "grass snake gray line, fu Yan thousands of miles", cleverly hide it, hide it deeply, just like the novel. It's too hidden, and the audience basically can't see it as a suspense movie. This also caused my reasoning and analysis to have deficiencies and mistakes. Some of them can only be reasonable speculations, and some of them still need to be analyzed, but I believe that they must have been touched, and the article will be gradually updated and improved. If you say, "That's not the case," or you've answered all the questions above, don't look down. As for black, it means absurd, ironic, helpless, pessimistic, dumbfounding but thought provoking, you will know after reading it.
Director Ang Lee and screenwriter Ms. Wang Huiling actually re-created a new Ang Lee version of Lust, Caution. Ling Jia is on top of Eileen Chang's meaning. Taking this opportunity, he really told a new story of his own, or The new stories they figured out from the novels may be because of Eileen Chang's fame, or they may be quietly waiting for the audience to find out. The most terrible and most admirable thing is that after this super major operation, the theme, main logic and main plot of the film have been completely different, and the main characters except Wang Jiazhi have been turned upside down. But Li An cleverly designed a water surface. On the water surface, Zhang Ailing's scene is still intact. It just happens to be the novel "Lust and Caution". The original work has received considerable respect and performance. When you watch a movie, you must be satisfied and tsk tsk admiration. But below the water's surface, there is a bigger story, and Li An sank and buried it as a whole, deliberately not letting people see it. The goal of this article is to drain the water so that the entire iceberg is exposed, so that everyone can see what it looks like—the Ang Lee version, the Ang Lee-themed Lust Caution.
