CC.Sex is the pretense, lies and videotape is the focus of Soderbergh (it is said that he only spent eight days to write the script, but in the interview he said that it takes a year to collect material), the narration comes before the image, the narrative quartet is a bit like a wave In Locke's hourglass painting (interior decoration in the film), one paint is already in mid-air before it has landed on the canvas. The psychological complexity of the characters is layered, and although it is expressed as a quick dialogue, it evaporates the essence of desire and its repression. This is a description of a class that is indifferent to life, but who worries about its way of life all day long. This class is also indifferent to itself and its desires, focusing only on layer upon layer of videotape. The sexual repositories hidden there are sites of seduction and language. And each person's interaction with his own life, from an existential point of view, is meaningless. Likewise, the director's interaction with his film is, from a theatrical point of view, meaningless. The image comes out of the drama and enters the psychodrama of the image, which makes the image lose its charm and is tiresome. The film itself falls into the same cold video.

I forgot how I was so impressed with the title of this movie, I remembered that I had planned to watch it once but I couldn’t stop it. Today, April Fools’ Day, given my enthusiasm for [lie], I came to watch this movie again and was caught at noon. I watched this film after I finished "life fooling". Although I was sleepy after watching it, I enjoyed it inexplicably. It was like a long-lost movie-watching experience, and it was finally lost and recovered today. PS: The heroine didn't feel so handsome, but the two heroines felt quite sexy.
