This movie was a big hit in Taiwan & HongKong few months back, I was not really interested to watch this movie because of the censorship in Singapore. But after few months of debates, the original uncut RA version is finally showing in Singapore.
My colleagues highly recommended this movie to me as he watched in HongKong few weeks back, and he said it was a very good movie. After I watched, yes I would recommend this movie to anyone I know.
Don't get me wrong, it is the story line that attracted me, not the "sex scenes" that you guys imagine (Btw, the sex scenes really gave me a shocked and make me "eye opening" )
This is the brief story line quoted from Cathay cinema: "... Shanghai, 1942. The World War II Japanese occupation of this Chinese city continues in force. Mrs. Mak, a woman of sophistication and means, walks into a café, places a phone call, and then sits and waits. She remembers…… how her story began several years earlier, in 1938 China. She is not in fact Mrs. Mak, but shy Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei). With WWII underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom). Kuang has started a drama society to shore up patriotism. As the theatre troupe’s new leading lady, Wong realizes that she has found her calling, able to move and inspire audiences – and Kuang. He convenes a core group of students to carry out a radical and ambitious plan to assassinate a top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee (Tony Leung). Each student has a part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yee’s trust by befriending his wife (Joan Chen) and then draw the man into an affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted – until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee..."
Many people can't understand or can't accept why the main actress (TangWei) will "fall in love" Mr. Yee (Tony Leung) and let him go away at the ending part of the story. Which resulted her teammates & herself being executed, which is very sad ending...
To me, she is just a little poor girl that need someone for love and care, and Mr. Yee is a man who gave her everything and of course, she can sense that he is in love with her...
The story line is nice and the film is well taken (Hollywood standard, not those lousy HK movies), but if this kinda of story happen in current time, I guess people will shout at you "Siao Arhh"...
Catch this movie if you can.
