Movie Critics: Lust, Caution, 影評雜談 : 04


"Black, is ‘in’ at Oscar 2008, but she wears white”

Saturday, March 01, 2008 1. Good news about Lust, caution might be it has gained nothing from Oscar, and this could finally end the arguments and media attentions from this movie. However, as commented that the Oscar itself, this year, is pretty low-profiled, black as fashion; But, this offers no good reasons to say that the discussion over the film is meaningless or waste of time.

2. We still read articles mentioning about this film. One of them is very ‘Catchy’, and pretty provoking by saying this movie, could be considered as one of the “sex-free-movements” in China; if we look at this issue historically. It recalls the moment when famous Chinese painter canvassed his first nude female figures, and an exhibition held in Beijing in 1988. And form then, we experienced a few sensations, with national significance. Among them the recent “adultery-photos’ scandals were listed as most recent one.

3. “ I do not see it is unusual to have sex-life filmed ” A lady Teacher, young and single said so, in an internet discussion with me. “ I think it’s pretty real, two are very thin, and skinny on the bed not at all like other movie shot it the way very romantic, ‘beautiful’ and too fancy. ” But she said, “I can not comment more since I am still a single” “But I like this movie in general since I have seen all the movies he made in the same category”

4. “ ‘cut-off’ or not ‘cut’ to her are the same,” “those details on bed does not affect the story ,” she said in an online discussion. Differed from others’ she believes that even without those motions, the total fascination of the movie still exists.

5. However, An lee does not think so, he said, “ We just have a very rough plot, I even not sure how it can go, all depends on their interpretations of the scripts. I did not give the limitations, ” he recalls in an interview on touring the Europe. Tang Wei, too, she said,

6. There are huge cultural barriers in this respect too. People nowadays can hardly y imagine how the people behave when the ‘Sex-liberation’ is in fashion, and nations show great diverse in this too. If we recall an famous love story shot by another Chinese Director, Zhang, named “Old Well” ( not sure of its English title) could be ‘very stunning” if camera is used a bit of differently. The “climax” is at the end and deep in an old well underground almost black and white as we could still remember?

7. West medias are comparatively quite, not mentioning the Christianity domination of Oscar, this “anti-Hollywood’ style movie naturally only has its influence on Mandarin speaking people. As reader may read from the British critics say, “If you don’t know the rules of the ‘Ma-juhn’ it could be a bored movie.” -470 words
