many people already write the plot of lust and caution . i do not repeat again and i just have a few word here . i have read many review from the professional film critic . some be extremely insulting and and those people do not understand the film at all . i felt sorry for ang lee and all people who work hard for the film . lust and caution be a pure chinese drama with the bloody china japan war and the chinese cultural context of 1940s represent slow pace and old shanghai and mahjong and the traditional song and hatred and love and loneliness and and the soul of student and traitor . do not forget the cultural difference represent western people play the card game while chinese people play the mahjong game . i do not know either and i always see the body languages of the player . i personally dislike the raw sexual scene and however and the film be still a masterpiece .
