Below is some juicy parts of 李安的专访！

也许是拍《色，戒》太累了-他和梁朝伟，两个追求完美的男人，互相折磨着。而李安对于梁朝伟更是不吝赞美之词：他演的实在是太棒了！

Yes I totally agree. 梁朝伟说的话不多，但胜在他的内心戏！他把“汉奸”的角色演的不会太over, 让人太讨厌。虽然我无法体会为什么他为何对“性”那么渴望。是汤唯的角色太“诱人”还是男人本来就好色？haha..

But I still prefer the original Taiwan version! Dun cut such a great movie.

李安对张爱玲在这部小说里采用的角度深表佩服：“这个故事切入的角度很奇特。一般人看抗日都是慷慨激昂的，但张爱玲看抗日却是从一个色诱汉奸的女大学生入手。这里面有种东西吸引着我，让我既兴奋又害怕，又不知道究竟是什么。我希望能够通过拍这个片子找寻我的答案。”

据报道，对于片中存在大量的情色镜头，李安表示这是艺术创作的需要。不过，他表示，他会尊重中国电影管理部门的意见，亲自操刀，在保留下来的男女主角之间的三场情欲戏里剪掉暴露的部分。李安说，由于其他的神韵还在，流畅度不会有问题，他相信电影还是会很好看。

The movie has so many appealing parts. Reina likes the costumes, especially the chongsum. I like the music, the actor and actress. Xianhao likes the cast too. 电影太棒了！except cut those sexual scenes which I think make it hard for me to fully get the whole feeling of the lust between them. The scenes are too abrupt. Then not much impression actually.

Lee Hom's acting got improvement. But I also dun like his weak character in the movie. Love the lead actress but never protect her. If you love someone, will you let her sacrifice her chastity? Maybe it's cos of a more important matter like saving the nation and eliminate the traitors. But a man SHOULD protect the girl he loves rite? He also lack of the wisdom to plan and act swiftly. 可惜。

My rating: 4.8/5 (will give 5 if it's the unsensored version)
