First, let me know the background of Lust, Caution, which is based on Zhang Ailing's short story of the same name. The film was shot by China director Ang Lee and won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival. The film, starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Tang Wei, Wang Leehom, Qian Jiale, Chen Chong and Chung Hua Tou, was released in 2007. According to related films, this film type is defined as a drama.

Secondly, I believe that at this time, some people will say that not all are defined as dramas, so why are there so many passionate dramas? Let's put aside the passionate drama and analyze the other successes of this film from the following three aspects.

First, the award-winning aspect is the director's cast, which is slowly and steadily adapted from the novel. In addition, the director's requirements for actors before shooting, it is said that before shooting, the director asked actresses to know elegant mahjong and sent them to training.

Just as a good house needs a good foundation, the cosmetic surgery, script, director and actors of a movie all determine the quality of a movie.

Secondly, the plot can be divided into two lines, one is a story between men and women, and the other is a story between patriotic youths who resist treason. Double-line cross narrative

Then officially defined as drama. Actually, I think it's not so much a drama as a spy war movie. One is the psychological spy war between men and women in the film, and the other is the spy war between patriots and traitors in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Through these, Lust, Caution reflects the patriotic feelings of patriotic youth in that special era and the theme of emotional disparity and gloomy social environment in that special era. Together, these factors make the audience feel the social gloom of that special era.

Thirdly, in terms of creative advantages, because there were fewer types of spy films in 2007, Lust Caution, a film with novel adaptation and a certain fan base, the audience's love for spy films increased, ensuring the market base of Lust Caution, which was classified as a commercial film when directed by Ang Lee. As far as these creative advantages are concerned, Lust, Caution has been half successful.

Generally speaking, in addition to erotic drama, we need to see its highlights, distinctive themes, two-line narrative, visual impact on the audience, seriousness of the actors, integrity of the script, etc. These are all things we need to know, to understand what conditions a good work needs, and to understand patriotic feelings in a special era and background.
