The Struggle Between Sense and Sensibility Amid Conspiracies - The Love and Humanity in the Film Lust, Caution

摘要

The hit movie Lust, Caution makes us reminisce the writing style of Eileen Chang. The movie features the struggle between sense and sensibility, the entanglement of desire and emotion, the criticism and sneer of human nature, and the murky struggle behind the pomp and opulence. The features of the three main characters of the film bear the clear mark of the special times and their unique emotions, the fading youth of Wang Jiazhi, the subtle affections of Mr. Yi, and the bewilderment of Kuang Yumin, all reflecting what the director means to tell.
