Lee Ang's Lust Caution
-
When I think, Shanghai, Japanese occupation, traitor, collaborator.... and I think, what would it be like if I were there at that place and time... how would I have reacted... what would I have felt... what thoughts went through the minds of those people at that place and time... how did they behave... how did they cope....Originally posted by uncle_abc:the way ang lee directed is quite good
just that the plot and storyline have nothing special.
kinda like a documentary
When these thoughts go through my mind, my heart beats a little faster.
I would love to sit in a dark cinema and soak in the life and the times... hmmm if you say "nothing special" "kinda like a documentary" it makes me want to go and see it! It would mean that they want to portray it as realistically as possible.
For the price of a ticket and if the writer/director is able to transport the audience back in time to catch a glimpse of what it was like... priceless.
It is a pity that in Singapore they cut away some parts. The writer and director must have felt that it was important for the audience to experience that reality.
Pity that Singapore, Singaporeans cannot handle reality and in my mind, unreality, delusion, inability to stare life at "full frontal nudity" and not look away is scarier.
I saw the GET REAL! Batam hooker segment and it was a laugh!
It was so politically correct and they have the cheek to call it GET REAL!.
The point they brought across was how the girl was forced by circumstances to be a hooker and how she would not want her daughter to go through what she went through.
You want GET REAL!? Try hookers partying every night getting drunk and having a wild and enjoyable night-life every night in a drunken state of booze and sex.
You want GET REAL!? Try Singapore men craving for a wild time of booze and sex with no commitments and sweet young Indonesian girls to keep them company.
You want GET REAL!? Try Singapore men that nobody wants finding themselves having hundreds of good looking young women to choose from.
I know too much to condemn or praise a person's lifestyle / the Singapore lifestyle. I know too much of the pain and the ecstasy to condemn / praise the hooker's lifstyle.
I do not praise or condemn, I pity people that have only one life and never lived it. -
according to news, its NC16 and cuts until like china version.
hmm we'll miss out alot... of "scenes"
-
It is the butchery that is regrettable... if you want to see S&M, the internet is full of it... maybe have to pay a couple of US$ for a month's supply, that's all....
why? why must they cut?
Hope they have an RA21 version as well.... -

sadly no. no legal ones.Originally posted by Gordonator:u got see before any R21 DVDs on sale in singapore meh? -
Early in the movie, Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei) gets asked to act in a patriotic play, in a time when China was threatened by the Japanese Invasion during the late 30s/early 40s. Little does she know that she's got to carry on acting the rest of her life, together with her group of idealistic young dramatists, as stage feelings stirred up real emotions that calls for the sacrificial of self for the greater good, for the country. What they lack in experience, they make up with their youthful passion and exuberance. And their rawness shows in the way they clumsily set up their traps for the coming of the prey, and fumbling even with their first blood.

It was in black and white and had no action scenes. Boy, was I told off after they all came out from the cinema.
I think Singaporeans are mostly materialistic, physical, visual and not intellectual people. I tell you that it is such a waste. Unintellectual people do not know what they are missing in life. -
Aiyah, for baobao's own good.Originally posted by browniebaobao:u beri naggy leh.. -
Think this is what happen when some people watch Batman Begins. They just want action only...although not everyone is like that.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:this reminds me of the time I suggested to my group of friends that we watch the Woody Alan's movie "Manhattan".

Lee Ang's one of the rare few who managed to turn a story about "gay cowboys" into oscar winning material. It's not the theme / sex scenes that matter, it's how everything is are executed. If you twats are after graphic scenes, please watch Irreversible. 9 minute rape scene and wank to it.
