Lust, Caution is a feature film directed by Ang Lee and starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Tang Wei, Wang Leehom and Chen Chong, which is adapted from the short story of the same name by writer Zhang Ailing.
Lust, Caution is set in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the 1940s. It tells the story of female college students using their beauty to approach the traitor mr. yi to assassinate him. When Jiazhi succeeded in seducing mr. yi to start a fight, she found that she was moved, so she tipped off mr. yi, and Mr. Yi decided to kill them all.
The film Lust, Caution subverts the image of Mrs. Yi in the novel. Through the filling and addition of story details and the subtle interpretation after the film, Mrs. Yi's image becomes three-dimensional and full, which not only retains the utilitarian and vain character background in the novel, but also has potential shrewdness and calmness, and at the same time adds a little helplessness.
As Mr. Yi's original wife, Mrs. Yi is not only old, but also childless after marriage. However, she still sticks to the post of "Mrs. Yi", living in harmony with Mr. Yi, who is secretly lustful, and showing the demeanor and dignity of the hostess in front of people.
