I saw this film when I was in college. I just changed my major that year, and I had a lot of professional courses to make up.

I went to listen to the class with the freshman, and when the get out of class was over, a topic was being brought up, and the teacher recommended the movie "Lust and Caution". There was a long ending sound of "oh--" in the class, mixed with a few laughs, and then the teacher He added hurriedly and cheerfully, "Children under the age of 18 should not read it, the whole class laughed. Then I remembered slowly in my mind. I remember the first time I saw this movie not too long ago. It was in my freshman year, when I just turned 18. One day, I was discussing it with my roommate in the dormitory. Five of the six people had not seen it, and the other one said that the computer There must be popular science for us, and a few of us accepted the documents frankly. But this large-scale movie that is said to be "supported by three passionate scenes" made me cry. With the mention of the movie's name, the memory of this film suddenly flooded back up again. I couldn't help but find a few essays I wrote at that time. Looking back at the words I wrote, it is probably difficult to re-enter the original state of mind. , but will surely be easily moved by the gushing emotions at that time. A classmate asked me what the movie was about. I thought about it, but couldn't find a word, so I had to say a few sentences about the plot, but those were not what I wanted to say the most. I couldn't understand the last sentence she spit out with difficulty but without hesitation, "Let's go." Later, she suddenly realized that it wasn't because she fell in love with him. Falling in love with a high-ranking official traitor who is not tolerated by the people, and falling in love with the person you want to assassinate, is a poignant thing in itself. So does Mr. Yi love her or not? I don't know if what Mr. Yi loves more is the passion with her, maybe it is. But I prefer to believe that he loves her, this person. Mr. Yi hasn't believed anyone else's words for a long time, but he believed her; Mr. Yi would never mercilessly interrogate other "lovers" who approached him and were discovered, but let her go; Mr. Yi didn't understand and didn't need to express it, but he used a card to send her diamonds romantically for no other purpose... Later, she was arrested. Mr. Yi didn't go downstairs to see her, Mr. Yi couldn't go downstairs, Mr. Yi wanted to save her, I know, just by the look in his eyes, by him going back to the room where she was lingering with her breath, by his rushing Move the tears, I know, he loves her. "I don't care about diamonds, I just want to see them on your hand". ——Perhaps it was this sentence, the simple and warm sincere eyes when he said this sentence to Mr. Yi, she couldn't help herself but instinctively said "Go quickly", but when she spit out the word "Go quickly", in fact, I don't care about life or death. I feel bad for her, but if it were me, I would probably condone the sensibility of breaking the gate once, and would rather lose my life without a doubt.
