Went to the city to watch the full version today. After reading and hearing many review about this controversial movie, must watch it my self.Below is my opinion, the plot of setting up assassination by a bunch of drama club students (amateurs) of the head of counter intelligence is a bit too unrealistic. No point killing a person that can always be replaced by another monster so easily.
At least Mr.Yee is humane enough to end the sufferings of the tortured/interrogated prisoners swiftly.
The Wang LiHom character is very weak, and his acting is mediocre. He is just a runner boy for the entire movie. I can't feel any emotion from his acting in many situation where he should express grief, frustration and affection.
Well, the 2 main characters Mr.Yee(Tony Leung) and Mrs.Mok/Ms.Wang(Tang Wei) were very good. No doubt of Tony Leung's acting, and Tang Wei's interaction with Tony was very amusing. I love the scene when Yee offered Mok a cigarette in a restaurant, her face lit up, smoking the cigarette while seducing Yee with her eyes and facial expression.
The intimate scenes were MUST for this movie. As Yee was a very busy and important (life threatening job) man, the only time he had chance to develop any interaction with Mok was when they were alone and having an affair. Through the Intimate Moments, Yee and Mok developed affection for each other. The actors really did a big sacrifice for art.
Was this affection Lust, as suggested by the title? Well, I personally think that Lust(at the beginning) was starting to be replaced by Love, but it ended abruptly & painfully.
The movie is 2.5hrs long, watching it in a lazy morning or afternoon during weekend is recommended.

Bryan ah... black background with white words makes my eye so tired... 眼花花 after finished reading your blog....
I wanted to watch the full version of this movie. But i think is a bit difficult to get it in KL. I am not sure whether Singapore sell DVD full version or not. If yes, i will ask my friend to buy it... Please advise.
Ok.. changed back to white background.
Well, the DVD should be out in 3 months time. I check and let you guys know when it is out. Worse come to worst can buy the full version in HK.
In the cinema, I over heard some Chinese (ladies) viewers that commented on the movie. They say they enjoyed very much, especially the mahjong scene, where those mahjong kakis are all very famous Shanghai Actress... well the Mahjong grew lesser and lesser towards the end of the movie.
I personally think that the director/editor did a very good job in editting. This movie can easily be expanded to 20-30 chapters HK drama series. Maybe TVB are at the midst of doing so...
I am surprised you can see the full version of Lust Caution in S'pore !! Good on you :)
Hmm.....personally, as much as everybody think, both of main characters slowly falling in love. I feel there is still something lacking in it. Though some scenes tried to portray such love, like the scene where Tony cried. Unfortunately, I personally think, that scene was a mistake and it did not give such feelings.
wonder when can I watch the full version....
Hahaha... the last scene huh when Tony reply to his wife crying.
Well, he cried maybe he himself is now under investigation liao as he has been sleeping with the enemy spy and his subordinate also not inform him earlier about Mrs.Mak real identity (conspiring to kick him out). he afraid that he might loose everything because of Lust!! (just my opinion)
Well... full version have to wait lor... DVD from Hong Kong should be full version.
