Lust, Caution

I watched the Ang Lee film Lust, Caution tonight.

Both devastated and elated, I came home and searched the internet for info on the film. In an interview, Ang Lee says,

"Life, in some ways, is a projection of our desire. What we get from it is somewhat of a reflection of the truth. What we see as reality could be only our elusive projection."

I sometimes find the strangest overlaps between my own thoughts and those of others.

The film is long and painful. But, like Lee's other films, it is haunting and beautiful.

One mark of a good film, in my opinion, is me sitting at home trying to figure out what it all meant hours after the fact.
