Beowulf is an Old English heroic epic poem of unknown authorship, dating as recorded in the Nowell Codex manuscript from between the 8th to the early 11th century, set in Denmark and Sweden. Commonly cited as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature, Beowulf has been the subject of much scholarly study, theory, speculation, discourse, and, at 3182 lines, has been noted for its length.

In the poem, Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, battles three antagonists: Grendel, who has been attacking the mead hall in Denmark called Heorot and its inhabitants; Grendel’s mother; and an unnamed dragon. The last battle takes place later in life, after returning to Geatland (modern southern Sweden), where Beowulf has become king. In the final battle, Beowulf is fatally wounded. After his death he is buried in a tumulus in Geatland by his retainers.

In Director Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution” 《色，戒》, Tony Leung Chiu Wai was rumored to have had real sex with co-star, Tang Wei, in their love scenes.

Tony’s girlfriend, Carina Lau Ka Ling praised Tony’s performance in “Lust, Caution.” Responding to rumors that Tony had “real sex,” Carina believed that due to the presence of a production crew and numerous out-takes, it was difficult for Tony to “enjoy” the sex scenes.

Allegedly, Tony was in a foul mood after filming “Lust, Caution.” This was due to his inability to extricate himself from his character.

However, in an interview with the British media, Tony assumed a different position and said he greatly enjoyed the filming of “Lust, Caution.” He also said that the love scenes were necessary.

In the past, Tony often portrayed good-looking, yet flawed characters. His role in “Lust, Caution” was a departure from his past characters.

He felt extremely fortunate in working with renown Director, Ang Lee. To prepare for his role, Tony studied the performances of Hollywood actors such as Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando.

Tony noted that his love scenes in “Lust, Caution” were the most sexually graphic performance in his career.

During the filming, Ang Lee, Tang Wei, and Tony discussed and practiced the scenes thoroughly. This understanding benefited the actual filming in order to achieve the proper camera angles.

In an earlier online Taiwanese poll, Tony was voted as “The Most Sympathized Lover.” This was due to the fact that Carina Lau had high profile rumors with tycoon, Kwok Toi Ming. Thus many netizens sympathized with Tony.

Cast members Tang Wei, Lee Hom Wang and director Ang Lee pose for photographers at a screening of “Lust, Caution” in Tokyo on Tuesday, December 4, 2007. The film will open in Japanese theaters in February.

Jackman’s wife of 12 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, calls his perfect form “the Body of Doom – but I like what’s inside”: a romantic who sings ballads at home and makes pancakes for Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3.
