are these two words, which contain the story of the entire movie. The plot of
"Lust, Caution" can be summarized in one sentence:
female college student Wang Jiazhi used the "beauty trick" to assassinate Mr. Yi, and when she was about to succeed, the plot reversed-she was in the process of buying a diamond ring for her. Zhong was deeply moved, and changed his original intentions, allowing Mr. Yi to escape.
color refers to color image, which is "beauty". The

However, according to Ang Lee’s interpretation, "Lust, to me, is , sensibility, , and quit, , reason, , and there is traditional Chinese dialectical thinking in it. The relationship between Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi is born of affection and emotion. Love. That's why Zhang Ailing is amazing. She has made a subtle change from a woman and told a story that everyone knows in a rebellious way." The story of

, he did not realize that thirty years have passed.
Love is not worth it.
In troubled times, Wang Jiazhi (Tang Wei) ignorantly fell in love with the patriotic youth Kwong Yumin (Wang Leehom) .
and Kwong Yumin wants to eradicate Mr. Yi (played by Tony Leung).
Wang Jiazhi's likes are blind. She regards Kwong Yumin's ideals as her own.

Wang Jiazhi tortured her body and mind, allowing this group of "aspiring people" to turn herself into a dusty "Mrs. Mai".

She and the indifferent and ruthless Mr. Yi they talk about are getting closer and closer.

The song "The End of the World Singer" is the concubine meaning of her husband, she once wanted to sing it to Kuang Yumin.
But Kwong Yumin never understood himself.
Or, he understands, but doesn't care.
So, leave her alone to face the danger and displacement.
Kuang Yumin's enthusiasm and bravery are fake, and some are just indecision and cowardice.
His heartfelt sincerity is also hollow, in her eyes it is more like cruel juggling under the banner of justice.
Wang Jiazhi wants to be too simple, but just love .

And Wang Jiazhi thought, "This man really loves me."
Like Mr. Yi, he must be cruel and wear it. It is so rare for a person who can survive wearing a mask to give true feelings.
For Wang Jiazhi, she is too longing for a love.
Since childhood, his mother died young, and his father had another family and left her.

She has always longed for someone to truly love her, until the moment she confirmed Mr. Yi's feelings, she could no longer blindly obey the instructions of Kwong Yumin and his party.

She just wants to be a woman and face her heart honestly.
