This movie is famous, but I never had the chance to watch it, and it took several days to watch it off and on.

The male protagonist is really beautiful. It is said that he was disabled in the movie later, but there are memories of Huameinan, which is enough.

everyone in the play is lying

The heroine's husband is the most common cheating

The heroine dare not face her own sex

The heroine and sister use her seemingly unrestrained appearance to cover up her inner unwillingness and loneliness

The male protagonist uses a videotape

Bury the pain of the past

But okay, the movie ends

to everyone

Everyone has found themselves

And when will we face the truth of life?

    Plain camera language and simple dialogue, the ordinary life is weird and shameful! In the end who is no problem? Still dare not face the illusion of real choice!

    The first time I watched it, I thought this film was about people's inner anxiety. Because anxiety is nowhere to vent, sex is the outlet, and lies are the fig leaf. But lies are also pleasurable, aren't they, look at John's indulgence. Videotape is a need for expression, another more real outlet. But only a man like John who refuses to give up his lies will not be released. The film that I thought was boring to watch turned out to be a big shock to me.
