The boredom of the middle class, the irrepressibility of sexual urges, and the deceit and self-deception of humans.

Ann lied to a psychologist in order to maintain her external "educated" image; Sensya lied to her sister to keep the beauty of her sister and family from shattering; John lied to his wife in order to maintain his image; Gray to satisfy I lied to the interviewee because of my own desires. Some people said that Gray was jerking off during the interview. I did not find such a scene in the film. In the hallucination, there was not too much movement, only one turning over. If this is a feeling of self-pleasure, I think it is also spiritual.

A few questions: 1. Why would a woman talk to a stranger (Grey as a visitor) about such a private topic (sex)? First of all, his handsome appearance is the first influencing factor, a touch of artist's breath makes women feel trustworthy. Secondly, such topics may be more suitable for talking with strangers, acquaintances will avoid their own image shattered due to mutual pressure, maintain social evaluation, etc., sharing such private topics with strangers will not cause such concerns, But wouldn't they be worried about such a video leaking? For Sensia, "This is not a military secret!" The concept is relatively open. And An chooses to tell the story after learning that her husband cheated, it is a strong reaction to self-suppression for a long time, and it is a kind of reaction.

2. What exactly is Gray's "sickness"? Obviously, not impotent, since the birth of human beings, due to biological reasons, men's sexual impulses may be more intense, and the desire for loyalty is not as strong as women's (may also be doubtful), a primitive impulse, longing for different women. Intimacy, is it a desire or a disease? Is it fear of marriage? So many women's interview records and interviews, what kind of psychological requirements do they meet? Perverted yet? How does Gray make a living?

3. A classic line. Men get their love by learning how to attract women, and women are attracted to people who love them more and more.

4. What is the role of a psychiatrist? The role of a psychiatrist is more like a listener, bystander, and talker. From the presentation of the film, it is not obvious that he has a very large influence. He is only present as a kind of physics, or I may not understand it. Bar.
