I told Ru Shan I caught Ang Lee's Lust, Caution this morning and she replied with "Hey, i thought CI people have to boycott that film." Ha, because of all the censorship and we're supposed to be people who embraces freedom of expression, or phrasing it in another way, people who want the right to freedom of expression. Is it a major deprivation then that we're missing out on the juicy bits (the lust parts)in the movie? I don't know. I seriously don't know. Labels: movies
Not knowing..that's because we didn't get to see whether those juicy bits were truly quality parts? It's all hearsay that we're getting from the film critics who got to see the whole thing (how unfair?!?) But, i'm really curious because, throughout the course of the movie, I found it a tad too bland, though the Shanghainese accents and the Chinese mood kind of sucked me in. Didn't like the ending though. Maybe it would be better if they showed the controversial parts, you tend to think, but I kind of doubt so. Don't blame it on the Censorship board before you get the whole picture, I guess. Maybe it was a bad movie after all. OOPs.
Some influence on Ang Lee's directing seemed to come from Alfred Hitchcock, cause I caught a glimpse of that poster for "Suspicion" in the background...if im not wrong. Classy..The suspense, the "wrong man" motive, the presence of voyeurism...a little bit must have come from Hitchcock's films.
Suddenly I'm quite interested in film. I've always been an avid movie-goer, but not the sophisticated kind. Maybe i should just start paying attention.
