Sex, Lies, and Videotape

I can't believe I'd find such a good film.
A truly calming film .
Quiet thinking
, not as sad or resentful

. Ann persistently asks,
tries to touch the deepest wound,
Graham avoids resistance
, tries to hide in the deepest self-preservation.

There are always problems
that clearly feel their existence,
even live in them,
but deliberately ignore it
and develop deformed habits.
Sickly attached

, Ann puts his hand lightly on Graham's shoulder and
tries to break that last defense
. The result of the attempt
is unknown
. The most courageous thing is to try

. Those are all stubborn wounds.
Only honesty can heal the possibility.

Soderbergh made this
scene beautifully
. Be careful
as if for a nascent ceremony,
a real recognition rather than a cowardly perfunctory

so-called "break and stand up"
When you feel that life is really cornered, the
road will still come out.
If the heart is still loyal , only when you
go out
can you get real happiness

Sex, Lies, and Videotape quotes

  • Graham: So, I don't... I don't understand, uh, what made you want to come here. I can't imagine Ann painted a very flattering portrait of me.

    Cynthia: Yeah, well, see, um, I don't really listen to Ann when it comes to men. I mean, look at John, for Christ's sake.

  • Graham: You're right, I've got a lot of problems... But they belong to me.

    Ann: You think they're yours, but they're not. Everybody that walks in that door becomes part of your problem. Anybody that comes in contact with you. I didn't want to be part of your problem, but I am. I'm leaving my husband, and maybe I would have anyway, but the fact is, is, I'm doing it now, and part of it's because of you. You've had an effect on my life.

    Graham: This isn't supposed to happen. I've spent nine years structuring my life so this didn't happen.
