李安作品─色｜戒 Lust| Caution
色｜戒 (李安, 2007)
一隻狼犬帶出了李安所謂的「殺氣」，這不一定是張愛玲的原意，但李安則透過他個人對這部短篇的感受，成就了這部可說是他的「大師傑作」。
眼看著任務即將完成，王佳芝回憶著，從一個不經世事的大學女孩，到現在技巧高超的女演員兼愛國者，這份十分危險的野心始終縈繞著他的心頭久久不去，驅使他的，有可能是想做番轟轟烈烈事業的理想，有可能是證明他不只是一個傀儡，也有可能是一個讓他無法忘懷的男人。
絕佳的全體演員，扮演全片靈魂的湯唯，靠著一張陌生的臉孔成功化身為王佳芝，並擁有和章子怡一樣不著痕跡的完美演出，即使他被狡猾的李安設計陷入這個角色中，但成果證明他的努力是完全值得。
梁朝偉到目前最優秀的一次演出，每個舉手投足都十分精準，雖然也是近代和相同的服裝，卻有和在王家衛電影裡形象南猿北轍的效果，即使早已歷經數個反派，他對這個角色的投入和表演成品皆是他前所未及的。

至於眾說紛紜的大膽床戲，就像李安親自說的都各有其在片中的必要性，即使性愛在這部張愛玲短篇中不見蹤跡，除了男主角強烈的權力展示，女主角學會利用性權力、兩人面臨工作上強大挫折的發洩和沉浸在水乳交融中的掙扎和喜悅，可能兩個角色都是彼此一生難再尋覓的完美伴侶。
再度合作的墨西哥攝影師羅德里哥皮耶托，「黛妃與女皇」法國音樂家亞歷山德戴斯普拉特，「阮玲玉」、「紅玫瑰白玫瑰」資深韓國設計師朴若木，李安老搭檔美國剪接師提姆史圭亞斯，四海一家般的結合成就了本片在劇力萬鈞和演技饗宴之餘的絕佳技術襯托。
有趣的是李安連續選擇短篇故事做為題材，前一篇的時間橫跨20年，後一篇的時間僅僅一個下午，當然看似一個發生在十載中的事，但畢竟那些都是女主角的追憶。
肯定是超越了「斷背山」本已十分優秀的成績，在展現理性與感性的衝突時，本片仍不忘向「北非諜影」、「教父」、「深閨疑雲」、「斷腸記」、「巴黎最後探戈」和「感官世界」一群可投射角色心理和承襲類型的經典名作和大師級作者致敬，不但是張愛玲至今最好的銀幕改編，更可列為影史上必看經典之一。

Lust| Caution (Ang Lee, 2007)
A wolfhound brings out what Ang Lee so called “amuck atmosphere.” This might not necessarily be Eileen Chang’s intention, but Lee achieved his practical “masterpiece” through expressing his feel for this short story.
Just right before the task seems about going to end, Wang Jiazhi memorized, from an innocent college girl to a highly skilled actress and patriot, this extremely dangerous ambition kept circling around her mind and couldn’t possibly go away may because of her ideal of doing something big and important, may because of proving that she’s not only a puppet, or may because of a man that she can’t get him out of her head.
A terrific ensemble cast. Tang Wei, who played the soul of the film, transformed herself into the leading character successfully through an unfamiliar face to audiences and has the acting of unattached perfection just like Zhang Ziyi. Though she got set up to get involved with this role by Lee, the result shows that her efforts worth every second.
The best performance of Tony Leung by far, every look and movement is very precise. Though it’s also postmodern and the same kind of costumes, the effect is totally different from the images in Wong Kar Wai movies. Even he has been through several villain characters, the devotion and outcome that he put in this role is never been seen before.

As for the controversial sex scenes that gather all the spotlights, they all take important places in the film just as Lee said. Even there’s no sign of sex in Chang’s story. Except the power demonstration of the leading male role, Mr. Yee, Wang learned to use her sex power, the abreaction from the huge frustration of both their occupations and the struggle and joy they soaked in the functioning sex. They could very likely be the perfect match for each other that they can never find another one in this lifetime.
The second-time Mexican cinematographer for Lee, Rodrigo Prieto, French musician Alexandre Desplat, the senior Korean designer Lai Pan, and Lee’s longtime partner editor Tim Squyres. The global combination achieved the great technical support besides the compelling story and the feast of performances.
The funny part is Lee chose short stories back to back for his films. The time line of the previous one goes across over 20 years. As for the latter one is just an afternoon. Sure it seems like a story in a decade, but after all they are the flashbacks of the leading female role.
This movie definitely goes beyond the achievement of “Brokeback Mountain,” which is already very brilliant. While showing the conflict of sense and sensibility, it also pays tribute to a bunch of classics and the master creators which reflect the mind of the roles and are inherited such as “Casablanca,” “The Godfather,” “Suspicion,” “Penny Serenade,”“Last Tango in Paris”and “In the Realm of the Senses.” This is not only the best screen adaptation of Chang to date but also a must-see of all time.
