      Film Critic

      Although the plot is boring, people who say that watching it is a waste of time are also too arbitrary. The focus of the movie is not the personal fate of a call girl, otherwise it will be made into a drama. The semi-documentary form of this film actually highlights the anxiety of the entire American middle-class society in the financial crisis. People who have long been objectified seek the comfort of call girls in this anxiety, but she herself faces the same anxiety. As a result, people...

      Emotional Disorder HP

      I have a lot of love for Mr. Suo, and I
      will basically watch a movie.

      It seems that movies with the theme of "Social Flower" have always been popular, and even he is not immune.
      But such a graceful and luxurious lady with a generous income is indeed rare.
      Everyone in life is really an actor,
      and these "accompaniment" girls are even more playful.
      Because rich people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy fake love and affection.
      If you don’t look...

      Dialogue, or an out-of-sequence dialogue

      It turns out that some sexy scenes would be expected more or less, at least some fascinating plots can be filmed in the story, but the whole film is dialogue plus dialogue, there is not much story-lined dialogue, and the whole sequence is disrupted. In other words, basically every character comes out without any introduction, so you have to guess. To be honest, there are a few more difficult to guess. . .
          There are not many dew-point shots, even those only wearing underwear, but the...

      Empty woman wears stockings and lonely man hits Dota

      I shamelessly used WY's signature as the title. This is simply a singular joking in the words. It shows the emptiness of young men and women that is like a papaver without sustenance. Carefully think up to the
          sky and sigh~ It's still an otaku. Understand the otaku~~~
       
             When we were young, many people loved us. We waved our little hands with a lot of folds. Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, and uncle opened their curious eyes and studied you holding it...

      The Girlfriend Experience ?!



      1. The heroine is ugly. The movie I watched yesterday, 9.11, reminded me that she has the face of a Middle Eastern lady, with her hair draped down and she can still see from a distance. She unintentionally flirted back and pulled out a mahjong tile from the boss.

       

      2. The heroine has a poor temperament. Taking an AV is hurting her body, and she can tell from her skin and eyes that she is actually very disabled. The poster is not bad, and close-ups of her face with...

    Express true emotions

    Steven Soderbergh, who won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1989 with his debut work "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" , is a 26-year-old boy. Twenty years later, he returned to the field of "sexual subjects". "I don't want to make a documentary," Steven Soderbergh said: "Although I used an adult actress and didn't have a script, I still made a feature film. It was the same as when I made "Sex, Lies, and Videotape"....

    Adult stars and movie actors

    The biggest gimmick in the film, apart from Steven Soderbergh's recapture of sexual themes, is the protagonist of the film, Sasha Grey. In the film she played a senior prostitute-or a "call girl". In real life, she herself is a star of pornographic movies. She entered the pornographic film industry at the age of 18. Although she is a porn star, she really likes movies, and on the list of her favorite directors, Jean-Luc Godard and...

    Movie quotes

    • Chelsea: [into a phone] So, what are you looking forward to? Do you have anything specific in mind?

      David: [voice] Well... you know, after looking at your web site I'd just really love to get together with you. I'm just kind of feeling stressed out. I should probally see a shrink, but it seems more fun to see you.

      Chelsea: Why don't you tell me about yourself? Are you married? Do you have kids? What kind of screenplay are you working on?

      David: Yes and yes, and no comment.

      Chelsea: How many kids do you have?

      David: I have two little girls. Don't make me feel bad, though.

      Chelsea: I woun't.

    • Chelsea: This David and I clicked. There was something there. And I told him that...

      Chelsea's Girlfriend: You told him that?

      Chelsea: I told him that I was going out of town for the weekend. And he didn't like that at all, and what really set it off was when he insulted me about my... you know. All about my personology books. I had a feeling he didn't support me in my belief. And I found out last night for sure.

      Chelsea's Girlfriend: So he found out last night that he doesn't like your astrology?

      Chelsea: It's not astrology. Are you goint to do this to me too?

      Chelsea's Girlfriend: It kind of is.

      Chelsea: It's not. I mean 20,000 people... that's more than just reading star signs.

      Chelsea's Girlfriend: I definitely think it's important. It's critical to have someone who supports you. But it's important to you know... I don't want to be negative, 'cause I think that feeling when you connect with a client is the best feeling in the world, and I don't want to be sort of down on that.

      Chelsea: It's funny because I wanted to get away from my parents. I didn't want to depend on them. I didn't want their money. And that's more than half the reason I started doing this profession in the first place. I now have a lot of money saved up, and I woun't completely feel like I'm dependent on him. Monetarily at least.

    • Interviewer: We agreed to meet here and have this kind of situation, which is a transactional situation like the one you deal with all the time in your business, right? Now, we're up to this part where I'm asking you something that would actually be intresting to me, and I feel that you're holding out on me. I mean, the thing is that the inner you is really... I mean, there's... in this business it's all about appearance, right? If you weren't beautiful, nobody would be paying to bang you, right? To put it grossly, right? So the thing is that if you weren't beautiful, you wouldn't be in this business. Is that right? Do we agree on that? So, suppose I like your looks, but I'm really much more intrested in the real you because I get a sense from looking at your picture on your web site... I'm not talking about myself, but I'd say somebody else... I got a feeling looking at your picture and also looking into your eyes right now and the way your doing that with your hair and the way you're wearing your little outfit there and all that other stuff... and I like your earings. And here's someone I really would like to get to know a little better. So, is that iron door of yours always gonna be closed?

      Chelsea: For most people, yes.

      Interviewer: Most? For some people, is it possible that there might be a crack in that little door you could walk through? This kind of thing that you could possibly get through? I assume the armor in your situation must be very thick just because it has to be, right? So, what kind of guy would it have to be?
