I still remember when I was a sophomore, it was the first time I played this drama. Recently, I was sorting out the movie list. When I suddenly saw it, I found a resource and found it. Fast forward it for the second time.

Ah, there are so many unknowables and unknowables going on in life and we seem to be blinded by life by ourselves, by everything around us, and by our own self-righteousness

But the director doesn't want to say that. The director seems to be saying that our lives are so normal on the surface, no lies, no sex, no love, and the scariest thing is that we don't know what's inside, we can't feel it

In fact, a videotape can smash all your fantasies and dreams about life. Only that videotape is the most real. A videotape can impact all life beliefs and can entangle your life. The real life record actually haunts the lives and beliefs of many people. Just like the two sisters in the movie, they succumbed to this video recorder one after another.

    Some people lie to be self-righteous, some lie to protect themselves, some lie to avoid problems, and some lie to be habitual. The whole film is not so much a discussion of sex as it is a discussion of lies, proving the fragility of lies. Liars and deceivers are the second worst people in the world.

    The uniqueness of the film is that it uses video tape to dissect the true hearts of modern people, especially the precariousness of middle-class families. In the film, the two men and two women have their own concerns. Sex and lies are the cover for their anxiety. The scenes and large dialogues convey the most nuanced things in emotion, and the male protagonist is well-chosen, which has a fatal attraction.
