To consider whether the intertextual relationship between an adaptation and the original text is an interpretation or a dissemination of the original text, we have to look at the fidelity of the adaptation to the original text. According to Andrews definition of intertextuality as interpretation, it is the appropriation of a meaning from a prior text (29). Interpretation means that the adaptation is faithful to the original text and will only present the text without making big changes. For intertextuality as dissemination, Robert refers it to the impossibility of fidelity due to the automatic difference (55) between film and literature. He also adds Intertexual dialogism is through a subtle process of disseminatoin(64). In the film adaptation of Lust Caution, there is both intertextuality as interpretation and dissemination. Ang Lee keeps the basic plot of the novel. However, the adaptation is not totally faithful to the original text as there is an automatic difference in the medium, change of points of view, addition and amplification of scenes out of the plot. Due to these changes made to novel in the film adaptation that makes it not a work with fidelity, the intertextual relationship between the film and the novel should be count as dissemination rather than interpretation. .
First of all, there is an automatic difference between film and novel, which makes everything more concrete in film adaptation. As there is a change of medium from novel to film, more information is given to the audience and there is less room for imagination due to the visualized characters and setting in film. Film engages more senses than novel, for example, visual and sound. As Robert mentioned, there is a shift from a single-track to a multitrack medium and film production is collaborative(56). The filmmakers thus need to add his/her own imagination to visualize the novel into a film as many details are not given in the novel itself.
