The rhythm of the whole film is gentle, the center of the story is prominent, and the structure is relatively compact. The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that the film uses too many sexual scenes and foul language, but this is only to further illustrate the theme of the film. Which type of lifestyle do people prefer? Is it hedonistic, happy and carefree? Or prefer a serious, traditional, hard-working life? In fact, the vast majority of people will not or cannot choose between the two, but will find a compromise between the two. In the process of searching, the film shows the audience an extreme way of life and the special charm brought by this way of life. It can also be said that this fanatical extreme film is in pursuit of a so-called perfect moral system, just like Sam in the film. The inner contradictions and conflicts of the characters, persistence and transformation are very shockingly interpreted by the director. In fact, many times in life, you will face a choice like a movie. In fact, there is no right or wrong, only suitable and unsuitable

Sara: [on the phone with Sam] I can't control my heart... I wouldn't want to, even if I could.

Sara: I just... I don't really know you, I... I just feel connected to you, I feel... I feel safe with you. Like it's okay to be honest. It's just one of those things. I'm just attracted to you. And it's not just because I think you're incredibly sexy.
Sam: [laughs, exhales, scratches his head] I think that you're incredibly attractive too, Sara, I do.
Sara: You do?
Sam: Yeah, I think about you. Trust me. A lot.
Sara: How do you think about me?
Sam: How?
Sara: Yeah. Do you think about me having sex with you?
Sam: Yeah.
Sara: How?
Sam: How do I think about having sex with you?
Sara: Yeah. Do you think about me going down on you?
Sam: Yeah, that's... that's part of that.
Sara: Me too. I think about how you taste.
Sam: I'm sure you taste sweeter.
Sara: Do you resist me?
Sam: No.
Sara: Do you give yourself over?
Sam: Yeah.
Sara: Completely?
Sam: Completely.
Sara: [exhales] That gets me on.
Sam: You're easy.
Sara: No. With you I am.
Sam: So I get to... I get to work on you for a while or do we just fall asleep?
