Film Title: Lust, Caution
Main Cast: Tony Leung, Lee Hom, Tang Wei
"Lust, Caution" is adapted from a novella of the same name by Eileen Chang completed in 1950. In this short novella of over ten thousand words, it tells the story at the end of the 1930s when progressive female student Wong Chia-chi attempts to use her beauty as bait to assassinate intelligence chief Mr Yi. When Chia-chi successfully lures Mr Yi and is about to make her move, she realizes that she has fallen for him. After warning Mr Yi and letting him escape, he decides to eliminate everyone.
At the crossroads of Jing'an Temple Road and Seymour Road, a black car stops. The door opens and out steps Mr Yi in a suit and leather shoes. Soon after, a woman approaches him wearing a black round hat and a light brown overcoat with a beaming smile. She is Wong Chia-chi, the protagonist of the movie "Lust, Caution", and the most crucial assassination scene in the entire film takes place here. Yesterday afternoon, Ang Lee's new film "Lust, Caution", which had been closed off for five months of filming, was finally opened to the media before wrapping up. The director and three main actors, Tony Leung, Tang Wei, and Lee Hom stood in front of the specially constructed 'Nanjing West Road' Kaiser Coffee Shop at the Shanghai Che Dun Film Base for a commemorative photo. In 1995, Ang Lee made his debut in Hollywood directing his first film "Sense and Sensibility"; in 2006, he returned to the Chinese-language film industry as the Oscar-winning Best Director to direct Eileen Chang's novel "Lust, Caution", which he had planned for many years. Ang Lee said, "After all these years of turning around, I still can't escape 'sense and sensibility'."
