Are there things in life that you have to go through? Is the premise of giving up a must have? And another question that is derived from this is even more challenging - when standing on the edge of the cliff of abandonment, can everything be calm and unrestrained? From beginning to end, the film only asks questions without answers, and Darcy's heart-wrenching cry of despair at the end leaves all the suspense to the viewers. This is a profound film that is difficult to understand for those who have no experience, do not understand life, or do not understand the Dharma. It may seem a bit heavy to say this, but it is said that the director of Lust, Caution is an Indian-French man who has been preparing for the film for seven years. Some commentators say that Lust and Caution is about the present world—whether inside or outside the monastery. On the one hand is the story of the monk Darcy, and on the other is the story of his wife Pama, who, although she is in the world, has a sage-like mind. In a word, either live, or escape, or both. Controlling such two clues, the bright and the dark, the film in front of me really proves the profound skill of the director.
