When I saw a large advertisement for the third passion drama of "Lust, Caution" on the homepage of Sina, I immediately turned to the end of the world. Sure enough, the full and clear passion drama was blown up by mainland netizens. Sigh. Poor Tang Wei and Tony Leung, and Ang Lee. You did not suffer insults in Hong Kong, Taiwan, or overseas for the full version of "Lust Caution", but because of the abridged version that only appeared on the mainland, you were inevitably by moral guards and motives. The pure man stabbed the knife bloody.
I have seen many film reviews of "Lust, Caution" from overseas, and I have almost never seen any doubts specifically about passion dramas, but more understanding and appreciation. However, in the release, it seems that there is a continent surrounded by fig leaves. Those passages that are deliberately hidden are actually unavoidable that the ground will eventually be exposed in a magnified manner, so that the compact and exciting plot itself is now being picked up separately, becoming a reality. A small movie for people to download.
However, if the whole process of watching the movie is separated, and the moral integrity of these passages is evaluated separately, what does it have to do with the movie itself and the actors themselves? Why can it be a tool for malicious attacks and abuse of actors and directors? The crew of "Lust, Caution" is a three-hour full movie, not an average of three erotic scenes of five minutes.
In fact, if you compare the clarity of the picture, how can it compare to the shock of the big screen? What you see today, many people in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas have seen it two or three months ago, and they can only see it more clearly. However, we must objectively say that in the nearly three hours of watching the movie, the interlocking of the plots and the motivation of the excited emotions make it difficult to deliberately take into account the emergence of passionate drama, even if we have been before Expected. In the passages where the passion drama appears, in fact, the psychology still remains depressed and gloomy, and because of the interweaving of the body and the struggle of human nature on the screen, the sinking is even worse, and a kind of desolation and sorrow permeates from the bottom of my heart, not at all. It may be like today's netizens will have a physiological reaction when they see the separated passages. "Fusion" and "separation" turned out to be two completely different interpretations. When Li Ang personally edited his own work, did he think of it?
Frankly speaking, I was very angry. We regard it as a scourge of monsters. The penetration and counterattack under heavy pressure is actually more vicious and terrifying. It cuts the word sex from human flesh alive. As a result, we see a lot more: on the one hand, The cleanliness and cover-up in public, on the other hand, is the proliferation of pornographic information in private. Defending the people's mouth is better than defending Sichuan. Most of the comments on the Sina podcast and the replies from Tianya netizens, to put it in the vernacular, can be as disgusting as it can be. The stench from the heart is almost undisguised. I was shocked that I could not associate these comments with The movies I have watched are truly connected. However, in what kind of environmental soil is the so-called national inferiority aroused and highlighted? Do they have the right to appreciate a work of art in its entirety rather than a castrated version? Therefore, I can only stare at the castrated stuff, secretly curious about storing it, and openly criticizing the abuse, whose sorrow is this.
Yes, we carefully protect the so-called bottom line in public, but what separates is the bottom line of human nature. Isn't these anti-humanity crazy counterattacks the inevitable ending? Most Chinese people are really unfortunate. According to this logic, seeing Venus in the Louvre will have a physiological reaction, and seeing Michelangelo's David will have a physiological reaction, so museums and galleries do not have to enter. Seeing French women with half-breasted breasts on the street will definitely have a physiological reaction. It is definitely harder to stop when you hear public talk about love. Then there is no need to travel abroad...
Indeed, people break away from the society where they live and grow. The soil is difficult, and decades or perhaps hundreds of years of accumulated repression is not so easy to reverse the verdict. However, the tragedy of the abridged "Lust, Caution" could have been avoided. We originally had an opportunity to understand the dual projection of love between the spirit and the body through the control of the director and the devotion of the actors, to understand the complexity, fragility and multi-facetedness of human nature, to understand the fog that emanates from history itself. Give the audience a right to judge themselves instead of deliberately misleading, but we still lost it. This kind of coldness and disappointment from the heart may not be understood by many people.
