Revisiting one of my favorite films of all time.

Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution” starring the great Tony Leung Chiu-wai and then neophyte actress Tang Wei is a complex, dark and ultimately painful story to watch. It begins with lies and deceit and though the protagonists discover deep love underneath all of it, they both know their love won’t survive the consequences of all that they have done. They both become victims of their causes, and the roles they have to play in their society.

Anyone who wants a story of great emotional depth and beauty would certainly love this film. However, you’ll either love it or hate it. I don’t think there’s any in-between when it comes to this film. Either way, I think you’ll have a visceral reaction it.

This film made me fall in awe over the greatness that is Tony Leung and the sheer raw talent of Tang Wei. They enfleshed and embodied their characters so well that their real personas disappeared. For lesser actors, this would be difficult especially if you’re already well-known and well-established in the industry. At least at the time, in the case of Tang Wei, she was new to the business. This was her first major project. She didn’t have the burden of previous works and popularity to deal with.

Tony Leung had all that “baggage” yet he still managed to pull off an amazing performance as the unscrupulous and ruthless Mr. Yee. I couldn’t see anyone else but him portraying this controversial character. And his chemistry with Tang Wei as the college student/spy Wong Chia-chi was amazing.

Tang Wei’s Wong Chia-chi was brilliant. She had the right amount of guilelessness and charm to make you think she’s sweet, harmless and ignorant. Yet she manages to transform Wong Chia-chi into the sultry seductress so completely that there’s no question on Mr. Yee being totally ensnared.

This film left me shaken and traumatized, not because of the graphic nudity and sex scenes, but more because of the intense emotions between Mr. Yee and Wong Chia-chi and the immense sadness and tragedy of their doomed love.

I’ve only ever watched it in full once, from start to finish, but I rewatch clips from time to time. I also sometimes listen to the beautiful soundtrack that perfectly mirrors their painful romance. I don’t think I can handle watching this film completely all over again without being affected.

One time in Computer Science, we had a test where we were supposed to debug code the teacher had written and he had named the main method "method rain" and you could tell whenever someone figured it out because they would groan out loud and start laughing.

I'm just gonna say I don't like Christian Bale that much b/c I can't get the picture of him as Laurie in Little Women out of my head(he was really gross)...also he reminds me of Mr. Yee
