Betty and Tina

Watch this 2004 drama even today in 2021. A lot of sex scenes, all kinds of cheating and betrayal, male and female lesbian characters, open relationships, etc., have a big impact on me.

Because our society lacks sex education, sex is shameful and repressed for many people, especially women. Under the leadership of the patriarchal society for thousands of years, women are even more difficult to talk about their own sexual desires. , is more of a role to cooperate with men, so under the discipline of the big environment, women are rarely able to achieve sexual separation, and even self-brainwash their thoughts into love signals for the sake of sex.

The show shows love and sex between women from a female perspective. Among them, I like Betty and Tina the most. Betty always has a self-confidence and self-improvement aura. She is dressed in professional attire. She has a pair of beautiful and melancholy eyes, and her curly hair is charming. Tina is gentle, beautiful and considerate. She changed herself for Betty, whom she loved deeply, and accepted things that she could not accept in the past. Their 7-year loyal relationship with each other is more in line with our beautiful yearning for love. However, life and human nature are extremely complicated. I have always believed that human nature is inherently evil, and we have always bound our inner demons with morality. Betty's inner demon finally breaks out of the cage, and her infidelity is disappointing and sad, and paradoxically understandable at the same time. Betty fights alone because of her work, and her frailty and companionship under pressure make her difficult to control, but unlike Marina, she judges herself with morality after cheating, and loves Tina, who she loves deeply. Feeling guilty, but the desire in her heart and the foot that has already stepped out made her unable to stop.

From the very beginning, Betty and Tina have always wanted to have a child. It seems that this is the only way to build a family. The self-judgment in her heart after the derailment made her more eager to have a child with Tina to stabilize their relationship. In the end, Tina found that Betty was in a maddening pain after cheating. They had a sexual attack and fight on the bed. Betty wanted to use sex to prove her love for Tina. At this time, Tina just wanted to use sex to punish her, And the line that Tina drew on Alice's complicated web of relationships at the end was heartbreaking to watch.

In my opinion, love is a luxury on the spiritual level, it is the resonance and mutual attraction of the soul, and it is difficult for many people to meet true love in their lives. Love is beautiful and so fragile, how deeply two people love each other's souls can they work together for a lifetime...
