『ラスト、コーション』をめぐって。

There is a very significant difference in the understanding of WWII. The West seems to have never really included the Sino-Japanese War pre-1941 as part of WWII. As a result, they failed to understand the fact that the scar of this war on the Chinese people runs parallel to that of WWII to the Jews. In fact, only few critics such as James Berardinelli made the connection between "Lust, Caution" and "the Black Book". Failing to understand this means failing to understand the conflict and significance of Wong Chia Chi's final betrayal, both in a social and personal context. As a result, the story of Wong was degraded into that of a Bond girl perspective for some critics!

中国ではそうした易の内心に深く踏み込んで描いている点が
売国奴の美化であるという批判の声もあがっているらしいが、
私はそれは『鬼が来た!』で日本兵を美化したと言うぐらいバカげた見方だと思う。
売国奴の美化ではなく、売国奴愛国主義者も等しく人間である、と描いているのが
李安の映画なのだ。
