The sincerity of a son of a bitch in INTERVIEW

When lies and sincerity mingle and confront each other, dramatic conflict constitutes the justification for a film. There are almost only two characters in the whole film, a frustrated middle-aged reporter and a sexy movie actress. Two complete strangers try to understand each other's world, and the roles of the interviewer and the interviewee are reversed; the lonely self instinctively needs warmth, and at the same time, it also instinctively refuses too much entry. Pride, competitiveness, depression, sexual desire, caution, trust, every emotion has appeared between the two, the progress and promotion of the plot is not so much a deliberate arrangement, it is more natural for two people who "come out to mix" reaction.

The man became a pre-betrayer because he didn't intend to abide by the agreement "this is not a public interview" from the beginning, but he did deliver a part of sincerity - he told his true secret before leaving, It's just that this secret is used in exchange for "scoops"; the woman is the final winner because she is always acting, even when the other party thinks she has a winning ticket and offers the real thing (the secret) in exchange, So, the woman is a deceiver, she uses deception to deal with a man's presupposed betrayal and becomes the winner of the game.

Both sides have tried to show sincerity and want the other side's sincerity, but the end result is a battle of winners and losers. The audience is also kept in the dark until the end with the male protagonist down!

Use acting for interviews and cheating for betrayal. sincere? Sincerity is SOB (son of a son of a bitch)!
