Are the many large-scale shots in the movie necessary from an artistic point of view?

Nothing is absolute, and the scale of the large scale also depends on the plot. In recent years, supervision has become more and more strict. It has been a long time since there has been a movie with such a strong "artistic sense" as "Lust, Caution". Instead, it relies more on shooting techniques such as borrowing locations and switching lenses, and so on. The shooting techniques can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

Pros: Clearer characterization.

"Lust, Caution" should be regarded as the originator of large-scale feature films. It is set in Shanghai in the 1940s and tells the story of a female college student with an angry youth who uses her beauty to do her best. A story about someone who approached a traitor with the intention of assassinating him, but after getting closer, he discovered that he had true feelings for him, and was eventually discovered by the traitor and was brutally killed.

But obviously, such a plot is not attractive in the eyes of young people, but it became the leading film at that time.

Disadvantages: It can easily give people a vulgar feeling.

However, such an art film failed to escape the "censorship" in the end. The reason is that the scale of the uncut version of the film is so large that it has exceeded the scope of traditional art, and this is also the reason. The harmful aspects of such films; too much pursuit of perfection, leading many people to watch the film not only to experience the plot and watch the changes in the plot. This may also be the ending that the producers do not want to see.
