Lust, Caution

Watched the movie last Sat just before the mid night. Honestly speaking, I prefer more for other movies Ang Lee had directed over the past, particularly very early ones before he became someone in Hollywood. Unfortunately I can't type Chinese easily at the moment otherwise will be easier to put down what I want to say more accurately.

The original story is relatively a short one from the novel, and if the audiences are driven to the theatre because of the bedroom calisthenics by the famous Hong Kong actor, I'd rather say to watch some other typical Hollywood movies (e.g. the basic instinct).

Shallow as me, don't have much to comment apart from treating it just as a movie. However, somehow I recalled a phase stated by a male friend few years ago - sexual relationship without love is having sex, and with love is making love. So in this movie, which applies, or it's a mixture of both?

I tend to think most of the males can be relatively easier to differentiate what is having sex and what is making love, but to the other end, are we really able to draw a clear line in between without confusing ourselves what is the original purpose? Can we stay from risking it while being addictive? It's a sword that has two sides.
