first impression

My impression of sex, lies and video is far from what I had imagined before. I thought this movie was a tragedy with a lot of ups and downs, but I didn't expect it to be such a narrative. The director expressed the whole picture of life in a romantic way. When he revealed everything, I was in pain, reflecting, and becoming more sensitive.
In front of Graham, women don't tell lies anymore, but he himself escapes reality in the videotape illusion composed of these truths, and Ann's sister Cynthia is the person who I think is the most real person in the film, she dares to Confessing her desires and struggling because she's part of Ann's husband's lies.
In fact, these three words are not unrelated. In modern life, sex is tantamount to a lie and has a deep connection with videotapes. The director made the meaning and connection represented by these three words relaxed and romantic, and gave Ben I'm going to receive some kind of tenderness in the dark education of sex.

Sex, Lies, and Videotape quotes

  • Graham: So, I don't... I don't understand, uh, what made you want to come here. I can't imagine Ann painted a very flattering portrait of me.

    Cynthia: Yeah, well, see, um, I don't really listen to Ann when it comes to men. I mean, look at John, for Christ's sake.

  • Graham: You're right, I've got a lot of problems... But they belong to me.

    Ann: You think they're yours, but they're not. Everybody that walks in that door becomes part of your problem. Anybody that comes in contact with you. I didn't want to be part of your problem, but I am. I'm leaving my husband, and maybe I would have anyway, but the fact is, is, I'm doing it now, and part of it's because of you. You've had an effect on my life.

    Graham: This isn't supposed to happen. I've spent nine years structuring my life so this didn't happen.
