"Peeping": Inner Desire to Peep

The heroine Carrie played by Sharon Stone is beautiful and sexy with noble and intellectual, which is very in line with the role setting in the play: the book editor, as soon as he appeared in front of the hero Jack, he immediately attracted his attention and became the next voyeur. The object of being hunted for beauty.

Jack is a sick and perverted voyeur. Cameras are installed in every corner of the building, and equipment worth six million dollars is used to watch every move of each resident.

Each of us has the desire to peek into the privacy of those around us. Which community do we live in? What do you like in your spare time? Or what did you eat last night? Which company is your spouse in? What grade is the child in? How is your academic performance? These daily routines are short and simple to say that they are social needs, and deeper are to pry into the privacy of others, depending on the depth of the relationship between the two. If it is a friend or colleague who talks about everything, it is naturally a relationship; if it is a stranger or a friend who is not so familiar with it for the first time, it will make the respondent disgusted and embarrassed. Normal adults are familiar with social boundaries. Even if you are curious, there is a "degree". This "degree" is to ensure that you do not infringe other people's privacy and do not break the law, while also ensuring that your privacy is not violated.

The desire to peek is amplified in the play. The telescope, the collective onlookers, and the more exaggerated is the male protagonist’s desire for spying. He has violated the law. Even if it is only to satisfy his own selfishness, he will not report the illegal behavior when he sees it, worrying that his perverted hobby will be exposed. This behavior is very disgusting.

In the end, the male protagonist’s perverted behavior was not exposed and punished. Hey, this is only a glamorous erotic movie after all. Peeping is just to satisfy the hunting.
