本来是想去观摩一下女主的美貌，这电影也太上头了，霸道将军爱上我，将军满口都是神秘的东方哲学，最后终于成功洗脑了女主，疯狂文化输出。可惜的就是虽然男主想努力演出中华贵族的优雅、狡猾、杀人如麻，但是他也差太远了！
7分
3.5+ 竟然是Capra的B-side...除了美到落泪的Missy以外哪有任何元素像是（成名后的）Capra出品啊，浪漫凄美的结尾甚至有一股子鲍沙其味儿！传教大白话部分依托于影片营造的优雅气氛竟也不显得太令人无语，鬼魅般的吸血鬼梦境和微妙的sexual tension更是惊人。不过由白人来扮演一个外形如此刻板的“中国人”还是不可哈。
pta推荐 斯坦威克真的好性感啊…
全片莫名其妙，逻辑混乱，我都分不清这尼玛是反讽美国还是歧视中国。。。
kevin居然做过这么老的片子 翻译难度大 质量也相当高
很棒的题材 拍出东西的碰撞 也拍到人心的共性 配乐也不错
又是一部我写本科论文时提到的电影、刨除已知的情节、这部电影里面的好多细节都令我惊喜、女主竟然是 Double Indemnity 的主演、还挺意外的。。。
这部电影初衷恰恰是反种族歧视，这一点从本片题眼（Megan的梦）中更加英俊正面的袁将军击退了早期好莱坞镜头下典型的傅满洲形象即可看出，而开篇白人上流阶层的评价则仅是导演有意布置的、展现西方中心主义无知傲慢的反面教材。为了借歌颂东方的神秘美德回望批判欧美现状，FC甚至不惜浪漫化、奇观化了中国人的形象，如用绣鞋传递情报、醉酒捞月溺亡以及结尾“他死后说不定化成了鼓动船帆拨弄发丝的风”等。尽管刻意润色弱者缺陷远非最彻底的追求平等手段，同时作为拯救者的角色依旧基于基督教道德，但我认为FC的尝试仍然可敬。减一星在于：1）袁将军最后自杀的本质逻辑还是将男性的陨落归罪于女性；2）袁将军所代表的中式功利主义社达价值观皈依文明的一刻即告覆灭，过于托克维尔了，私以为没必要：3）内景和服装欠地道。
女主很美 那个年代中国人形象都停留在傅满洲那个类型吗 浓眉小眼八字胡。摘眼罩那幕真的笑了 看的没有粤语字幕 英语能看懂中文听不懂尴尬。 导演还拍过一夜风流 生活多美好
剧本，角色和表演都好棒啊，魅力十足。要说奇怪的感觉也是有点的，不过经典伤感的故事气质减弱了特定背景的刻板奇葩感。
卡普拉的又一部亚太题材
异国恋罗曼司 袁家军的形象：绅士&野心家 镜头语言贴近诗意现实主义 如梦如幻的叠化
虽然除了喜剧片，其他的类型卡普拉拍得一塌糊涂。 虽然如此，他还是古典好莱坞时代最闪耀的启明星。 虽然，今后再没有卡普拉可以看了。
化妆技术强大，那个僵尸春梦很有趣
