sex scenes in LC were necessary i think, and i didn’t think it as over R rated. It might be for those who are not used to those kind of scenes, but for those who thought it as art would find it necessary w/o boundaries.

Armpit of TW there, though it was little bit turn off, made the film more realistic. shaved-armpit was not in at that era i think.

Agree with the other posters. The sex in LC is important, because it not only shows the developing relationship between the two, but it’s also a metaphor for the rap/aggression of one country over another. Which is what it is, the sex is aggression — and in fact, he is trying to break her will and her psyche through sex. It’s rape. And initially she’s overwhelmed by his cruelty, his insatiable need to humiliate her and destroy her from within, but she manages to protect something of herself as they fornicate. After all, if he invades her body yet he cannot find her soul, then he cannot have complete victory over her. Progressively, the student becomes the master, and eventually she is his equal. And then . . . And all this is metaphor for the occupation itself; her war and The War are one.

Having said that, my favorite scene in the whole movie was when she and her students acted out a propaganda play. When she declares to the audience that China will never fall to a foreign power, I felt deep pride and tears swell within me.

Hehehe…i think at that era, they don`t shave the armpit. I guess it`s more realistic that way…hehehe lol

U r not the only one unimpressed w Lust/Caution. I was thoroughly disappointed and put off really…wished she shaved her armpits too..-__-

LC even those Scenes bit Over for me . i think that is necessary it’s a Political Movie so You know Politics is dirty. Don’t ask about Tony’s ACting he is MAster !!!…
i hope this movie not unforgettable . Not being cynic but has been played with Famous Actress doesn’t mean he will be recognize either right??.. I am rather Pic HB like Ha jung Woo. Play in many Drama and Movie see him now. He is really recognizable as “Actor”.
