电影中对王佳芝爱国动机没有前因交代,张爱玲小说中也没有明确提及。影片中她仅仅是被邝裕民的激愤和正义所感动,本身具有着表演的成分。即使王佳芝没有爱上易先生,她也注定会在刺杀的关键时刻失态的,影片在小说基础上增设的情节中暗示了这一点。沉迷于表演的王佳芝在表演的正式成功来临之前,自我的意识虽然在苏醒,但仍然保持着一个天才演员所应该具有的自我把握的心理质素。但表演的巨大成功真正来临时,她却崩溃了。 There is no antecedent for Wang Jiazhi’s patriotic motive in the movie, nor is it explicitly mentioned in Zhang Ailing’s novels. In the film, she was just moved by the resentment and justice of Kuang Yumin, who has the composition of performance. Even if Wang Jiazhi did not fall in love with Mr. Yi, she was also destined to be disillusioned at the critical moment of the assassination. The film implies this in an additional episode based on the novel. Before the formal success of the performance, Wang Jiazhi, addicted to the performance, has maintained a self-conscious psychological quality that a genius actor should have while he is awake. But when the huge success of acting really came, she collapsed.
