Lust, Caution, directed by Oscar winner An Li, is quite popular around China and Asia at the moment.
An Li won his first Oscar Award for the film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2000 which one opened a world wide market for Chinese HongFu films significantly, and his first Oscar Award of Best Director because of Brokeback Mountain 2005.
Lust, Caution shown in China
Lust, Caution is the first film after his winning the Best Director award.
As a result it really has been drawing people's attention since selecting actress as a leading lady, until now it has been run for two weeks in mainland China as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan.
There is about seven minutes sex shot that has been deleted when shown in mainland China.
Accuse
After watching this 'incomplete' film a doctor of law of Politics and Law University of China accused the movie theater where he watched it and National Broadcasting and TV Bureau.
He complained that this 'incomplete edition' has encroached upon consumer's right to fair deal and to know, and the Bureau failed to set up system of movie graduation which violates social and public interest.
Accuse makes no sense
However, in my opinion, it is just because he wants to be known by making use of the film.
Because what he did seems to make no sense in China.
This kind of deleting some shot happens very often and normally when films shown in mainland China.
And people has arguing for this for many many years. But what makes him differing from the others is he accused.
