About 20 years ago, Daniel Waters directed what was called "the best school black comedy in American history": "Heathers"; 20 years later, he recovered the original heroine Winona Ryder and filmed this "middle-aged comedy" ""Sex and Death 101".

This is a movie that discusses the relationship between love, marriage and desire. Should an attractive man let marriage restrain his hands and feet? If he knew he was going to have sex with 101 women, what would he get after 101?

If there is one thing that knows all people, all places and all things, what should people call it? An all-purpose machine? Destiny seems to be such a versatile machine. Man’s destiny is fixed, so you can’t bury it in the back garden and turn around to find romance. It’s even more impossible to fight against destiny, because there is desire, and desire seems insurmountable. , Like a beauty who brings death, no one can refuse her temptation. In fact, this is a little joke made by destiny and the master. When the 101st woman gets closer and closer, why should you be afraid of her? Is it because you have become a carnal animal and have a guilty conscience?

Through this film, Daniel Waters expresses a kind of good-faith ridicule while thinking about fate: Did people choose their own destiny or fate determines them? Since everything a person does is his own, why should he avoid it? There was no explosion this time, just two ecstasy pills. When I wake up, I still have to figure out that there is love in life besides sex.
