Review:
Sex is not really about sex, it is about desire, freedom and power.
It's a show where I watched the first episode all the way to the last episode, and I didn't even skip half a second or fast forward. Because I have the exact same feelings and similar experiences as the heroine.
Stability and passion are originally relative words, and we can only choose one of them in our life. I asked my friend, can anyone in this world really give me these two things, my friend said yes, but I didn't meet them. But most people have probably already made a choice before meeting the one who can give both ways. At the age of 27, I have endured or felt the pressure of the world at this age. What should I do? There are people around me who choose to live a stable life. They get married, have children, raise children, and live a happy and peaceful life, but maybe I Just seeing the positive side of their lives. There are also people who are divorced to pursue their dreams, or who are still traveling between various possibilities. They have strong courage to deal with other people's eyes and worldly expectations, and they can live comfortably and fearlessly.
I was the one who chose the latter. Four or five years ago, there was a choice for a stable life in front of me. I didn't choose, but to this day I still don't regret my choice, because the kind of thing in my blood There seems to be no way for me to be a stable person in pursuit of passion and challenge genes, and I seem to have no way to accompany anyone to grow and die. One is my cowardice and cowardice, and the other is my addiction after tasting the forbidden fruit.
In the film, Cooper is the dream of every woman who pursues a perfect and happy marriage. He has never tried the forbidden fruit and has no delusions. He seems to be able to use his life to treat you well and give you whatever he can give and give. , To me who is very possessive, this seems to be the partner I want to pursue in my poor life, but it is not, he is suitable for a better person or a similar person to accompany him through this life, there is a saying that " When people reach a certain age, they won't grow up anymore." They won't have the desire to learn and acquire anything, and some people say "the essence of human beings is a repeater." In fact, this is very good, It's just that the end of the day is not for Billie nor for me.
Brad in the film is a bad guy and a play boy, with the complete opposite of Cooper. He's dangerous, like taking you to dash for an oncoming train, running with you in the rain, or handsomely taking you home on a motorcycle. This seems to be the idea of a bad man deep inside most women. Prince Charming will marry you with high heels, but every woman also has a young passionate girl in her heart. She hopes that someone will throw away her umbrella and accompany her to run in the rain, or give her a sense of danger and unknown. We all need a boy like this in our life, who gives us the sweetest and most bitter feelings, the absolute dramatic sweetness and bitterness hidden in the word passion, the mystery that keeps it all in perpetual instability. And I'm probably the one who is immersed in this feeling and doesn't know how to get away.
Sex/Life is based on BB Easton's book, 44 Chapters About 4 Men, a female-led series written primarily by female writers and shot entirely by female directors. This is a drama with women's vision as the main body, and it can also be said to be women's "prostitution". In the context of a large number of TV dramas/movies directed and filmed by men, a large number of dramas are expressing revolutionary heroes, patriotic feelings, or family life, social anecdotes, crimes, etc., but this drama is indeed about Naked Desire, it puts the perspective on women and satisfies women's desires. As a woman, I find the same sympathy in it. I like this show very much.
Regarding desire-themed movies/segments, we are most familiar with the fact that it may have been a CD before, but now it is a P station. Most of them are thought and filmed from a male perspective (refer to "Nude Supervision"), I have seen one before. The documentary is about a Spanish female director who uses female vision to shoot works on the subject of desire. She uses an all-female shooting team to let actors with absolutely no shooting experience play the protagonist, and let the actors complete the work in a comfortable situation. , and her main target audience is also women. Recently, there is also a Chinese visual photographer working on a series of images with male nudes as the theme, in which she also clearly stated that women's desire for men is expressed in the form of art. With the increasing importance of women's status in society, the corresponding desires of women are also placed in a position that cannot be ignored. This part involves the viewpoint of feminism, and I will not extend it personally.
"Do you think it's possible that the person who gives you love, stability, and security is the same person who gives you excitement, adventure, impulsiveness, danger, excitement, desire?"
As a person with some life experience but not rich, I think it is impossible, because all these words are opposite and relative, and life will not always be as you wish. Near the end of the last episode, Trina tells Billie to destroy the desire she needs, and I actually knew the story wasn't going to end well. Because each of us has our own insatiable desires, Billie's desire is Brad, Trina's desire is those parties. While I am controlling my own desires, in fact, these desires also push me to get more, live a different life, and experience a different life. In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world. Individuals only live for a lifetime. No one can tell you what kind of result each step you take will lead to. What they tell you is only a short-term temporary result. No matter what choice we make in life, we will regret not choosing another one, "what if?" So we just choose the one that we will not regret for the time being. In fact, as long as we truly live and perceive the world, There is no regret.
