no caution

Earlier this week, I saw the movie "Lust, Caution" for the second time.

I didn't like it the first time.

I liked it more the second time around, but that wasn't the only difference.

Ang Lee was there.  In the auditorium.  In front of me.

I like movies that make me think.  I like movies that let me think.  Ang Lee's movies do both.

During the Q & A after the movie, as I watched and listened to Ang Lee up on stage, I saw myself up there.  I was comfortable, funny, engaging, and more importantly, I was a movie director.

That's my lust.
