Lust. Caution

That day on my way back from work, I walked past a shop selling DVDs, and guess what I bought? Yes, I bought "Lust. Caution". But mine is the uncut version one lor. Even though I have watched the show before on cinema, I just felt that I wanted to watch the uncut version to see what the fuss was all about that was all over papers and radio when it first aired.

And my view after watching? Kinda stupid la. Let me explain myself.

Firstly, I must say that the sex scenes were indeed too real.. No wonder Tony's girlfriend angry lar. I mean, you can really see their, ehem,

PUBIC HAIR!!!

Wa seh, thought the papers said Tony and Tang Wei did not really have sex? It all looks very REAL to me lor! I mean, the hair and all.. Tang Wei reportedly kept her armpit hair for a few months for the movie lor! Ewww...

If (I mean IF la!) I were Tony's girlfriend, I would probably slap him upside down until his face swell up for two months and kick his balls so that he won't have anymore Father's Day!!!

Secondly, the storyline was so unreasonable. At the start Tang Wei was portrayed as soooo patriotic and even gave up her virginity, ultimately for the main purpose of killing Tony mah!! For many years she and her teammates have worked for this purpose! Had to kill a guy who discovered their plot, had to leave school and left everything behind and run off to a new place, den all of a sudden, she saw the 6 carats diamond ring and told Tony “快走”?? Is it even remotely logical?? To hate this man for years, to plot against him, to give up your virginity so as to kill him ultimately, to go through all his sadistic sexual abuse and bleed every single time he beat you up and torture you whilst having sex with you, and suddenly you had a change of heart and tell him to leave so that your own teammates, those who have went through so much with you and suffered just so that they could one day kill this traitor they hate so much, would not get to kill him? Why did she suddenly ask him to leave? Because she felt guilty towards the guy who betrayed their country, who also make her suffer so much sexual abuse and whom she gave up her virginity so that she could kill him someday? She felt more for him than for her own teammates, those who went through suffering with her and not make her suffer?

Illogical, if you ask me.. Nonsensical even, but the part where Tony literally jumped-dived into his car was hysterical..

Great storyline as it clearly shows the conflict in Tang Wei's heart, but even this conflict cannot be an excuse for her stupidity? Why? Simple:

HER TEAMMATES GOT EXECUTED BECAUSE OF HER!!!!!!

This, I feel, is enough for my hatred towards her character in the movie.. And also my mockery for the whole show..
