Went out and watched some movie today. It's titled "Lust, Caution" ('Se, jie' in Chinese)starring Tony Leung and newcomer Tang Wei. And what a movie that was. To put it shortly, it's an espionage movie taking place in China at the year 1938-1942, when the country is occupied by Japan. It revolves around young Chinese patriots supporting the country in their war against Japan, with some unexpected ways.
The plot is not too deep. It's neat and at times, unexpected, but not too much so. The power of the movie comes in the acting and the caharacters. The character of Mr. Yee, played to perfection by Tony Leung is very impressive. Detestable, cruel, yet very humane. The same could be said about Wang Jiazhi, played by Tang Wei, She's also a 'powerful' character, with different reasons.
It's a fine watch, well worth the two hour length. Be forewarned though, the movie contains graphical sex and nudity, hints of sado-masochism, and other themes that one might find offensive. Even after the censor, it's still contains quite some amount of these things.
As for myself.. well, I'm feeling better now. The movie helps. In fact, the whole date helps. Thanks for the great night, dear friend :D
