Lust, Caution 色, 戒

To kill the enemy, she would have to capture his heart, and break her own...

A group of university students carry out an ambitious plan to assassinate a national traitor during puppet government era.

A shy young lady have to transform herself into a seductive woman to approach her prey.

The sexual relationship soon become deeper,stronger and emotional.

The lady tried to avoid from falling into the trap she set, but in the end, she can't resist his love for her.

This movie had create many controversies, mainly because of censorship and sex scenes.

I watched the uncut version, and the sex scene is so real.

I bet you will hold your breath when you watch it, Tony Leung and Tang Wei had a top class performance.

Anyway, I think the audience still able to digest the movie even if they are watching the censored version.

Not to say that the sex scene is unnecessary, but it didnt affect the storyline that much actually.

Ang Lee need sex scene in Lust,Caution because

~it shows audience how struggle and sadistic the lady was.

~then soon, she start to feel the pleasure of having sex with him.

~how he remain suspicious of her when they were having sex.

~then soon, he start to trust her

So, sex scenes would be the best and the "most crystal clear" way to show all those emotional elements.

I watched some Ang Lee's movies before, some are boring, some are good.

But overall, I just don't like his movies.

Lust, Caution is the first Ang Lee's movie that I like.

Despite some criticism that Lust, Caution is too slow or too long,

I think this is Ang Lee's best film.

The cinematography is great. ( I love the last scene)

The music is excellent.

A good movie.
