Curious that the film had been banned, I watched it carefully over the weekend, and simply put, the film opened with a gamble, leading to an unusual triangle relationship, and the final death and injury.
Zhang Ziyi is a victim of the gamble, abandoned by the male protagonist after winning the bet, but he cannot face his emotional heart.
The gamble is to let the male protagonist take the female number two (played by Zhang Ziyi), the prize is to let the male protagonist get himself (played by Cecilia Cheung), if he fails the male protagonist will lose a hot piece of land; in the process of the gambling game, Cecilia Cheung found that the male protagonist had a true feeling for Zhang Ziyi, jealousy, designed to kill the male protagonist, and Zhang Ziyi also lost the courage to survive after getting the truth, trying to cut his wrists and commit suicide, while Cecilia Cheung was wearing a wedding dress and crying on the bed.
Cecilia Cheung and the male protagonist finalized the gamble
The male protagonist was secretly calculated by Cecilia Cheung and died in Zhang Ziyi's arms
This film interprets a perverted emotional experience, cecilia Cheung played by the heroine is a distorted and perverted orientation after suffering from setbacks in life, and can also be seen as a crazy revenge against the dissatisfaction with reality, this revenge destroys human nature and conscience, tramples on the dignity and even life of others, without any moral bottom line and constraints; so this should be the real reason for being banned, hoping that the viewer will take its essence from its dross.
