anyone seen this movie? Heard it has hardcore sex and there were rumor that Tony Leung and that woman have real sex? And now that she's banned from the Chinese industry?

Chinese always have big controversy. It's always this and that, gosh communism. lol I mean look at their series and some of their other movies, they have extreme sex scene too and the kiss isn't conservative at all.

And now she's the one thats banned and not Tony? lol They shouldn't been a hypocrite because if they banned one, they should ban anyone who does sex scene.

[noiki]

lolz shams, i don't watch chinese movies so i never heard of this. but that is quite unfair to ban the woman and not the man. but then again...it is china

[smile]

my friend was talking about this (she's chinese) and i was like thinking didn't shamp say there were sex scenes and my mate u should so watch this it really good but i was like were 15 ur mum lets u watch porn if i watched this my mum and dad would kill me if they didn't find out my little annoying 8 year old brother would tell them.

are they aloud to do that even in china i thought it would be considered unrespectful or somthing?

I watched the unrated version. Mediocre film, don't understand the whole hype about it.

Anyway, seems like Tony and Tang Wei did engage in real sex but um, I fast forwarded those scenes so um, not really sure either.

But the whole controversy is silly. China is always finding excuses to ban someone or something. Anyway, the Mainland Chinese feel like the movie was a blow to China's patriotic ego, showed how weak China was. The Mainland Chinese are still very upset at what happened during the time when Japan took over.

They banned Tang Wei and not Tony is because Tony is Hong Kong, they can't ban him because he's not actually part of Mainland but Tang Wei is.

But Hong Kong is united with China already, didn't they?

Anyway, lol yeah even the director denied the real sex scandal but people said it looked real. lol muhahah don't know, I just thought it was too funny.

Is Tang Wei banned entirely from the China entertainment industry? All I know is that her commercials for Pond's were not allowed to air on tv. However, she has been already recieving jobs on a more international scale (sorta like Zhang ZiYi), so I don't think she would really care.

And I agree that Lust Caution was overrated; I think all the hype came from those sex scenes. I skimmed through it and yes, it looked very real, lol. It could have been camera angling too, so... yeah. But you do see Tony's *ahem*.

Technically they are but you know how it's always Hong Kong, Mainland China, and then Taiwan? Hong Kong, although, have united with China, they still consider themselves a different state, who isn't under China either. They have their own laws, regulations, and factions.

That's why Edison said goodbye to the Hong Kong Industry but can still produce Mandarin albums and films in Taiwan and China.

Tang Wei is Mainland Chinese as for Tony, he's Hong Kong, it's different. Mainland China really can't touch Tony. So what if they ban Tony too! Tony doesn't directly rely on Mainland to make a living. It would have been a joke on the Chinese government if they banned Tony because it wouldn't make any sense. But Tang Wei does. The companies that hire Tang Wei are from Mainland China which abide to Mainland China laws and communist government. Hong Kong, though filled with mafias but at least they semi still have a voice not like China, even forums can be shut down just because the government feels the need to.

Tang Wei will definitely stay in Hong Kong and enter Hollywood I assume.

SO was the movie any good? I was planning to download it but don't want to waste time if it's not good

[aiyaja]

It's rather boring. Honestly, it would better if you are either Chinese or someone who has knowledge of the Chinese history, makes things simpler to understand that way since there were quite a few deep Chinese sentiments.

i rented this movie last month...it was soooo boring..nothing was appealing..it was like a mini porn lol and did anyone notice that the lead actress didn't shave her armpit...it was soooo hairy lol

[kluay]

Heard about the hot scene and seen some of the capt pics for me I think actor should not be banned from the industry no matter what its happened in movie if it is too hot banned the director I believe he do what he told I admire Tony a lot he’s one of the best stupid Chinese industry…
