This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
几场冲突看得我血压飙升 青春期的小朋友可真讨厌 可一旦长大没有了那股不可一世的劲儿 又比青春期的讨厌更加讨厌
琐碎的生活对话和冲突没有表现人物更深层的心理变化，对社会问题探讨也是浅尝辄止，这点不如《瀑布》，少女恋马的情节和《鱼缸》里很像，p.s.林嘉欣还是好好看哎
从非典到新冠，这19年间好像什么都没变又好像什么都变了🚬
真的太一般了 我一个会轻易被母女煽情打动的人都一脸懵逼 在Chicago-NYC飞机上看的
首部长片，金马为她推了很大一把力呀，从当初的短片三个角色过渡到回台湾发生的故事长片时剧作上失控了，情节设计太过刻意，情节剧式表达方法的还是写的很棒的像「家庭吵架戏」。妹妹这个角色如此「脸谱化」在前作短片刻画的如此生动的妹妹，到了这成了可有可无的角色。还有场景细节，非典捅喉咙，令我我无法接受一部现实题材如此虚假。
文化、经济和病症的重重包袱之下，各有各的委屈与不适，生活就是这样啊。爱是最简单的也是最有力量的。
当代台湾电影困境，有底蕴没故事，一点点故事容量拉得老长，显出做作，难得这部演员还不错。
恨就是恨，恨里夹杂着感激也还是恨，哪那么容易谅解，我这一页永远都不会翻过去
平庸，視聽語言太弱。但一如既往地喜歡林嘉欣的表演，第一次做化療時的緊張害怕脆弱，處理得很好。
只有事件的、轮廓的东西？好像不断在发动情绪，可是背后的机制没讲好？
生孩子真的不一定会幸福，家庭的表象如墙上的企鹅家族一样紧密，实质却必须让每个人都各得其所才有延续的可能，而在以不稳定为主要特征的现代社会中，这种期望又经常会落空。
同样是侧重于母女关系和家庭关系，这部的真实自然程度远超瀑布，几个压抑和爆发的点都很有代入感，美中不足是结尾戛然而止，我以为会落在母亲听女儿的演讲那里可惜后面就没交代了
“如果这已经是你妈妈能做的最好了呢？”
3.5接近四星 没有解决根本问题 有一些共通的场景情境有点触动吧 ，ps 中国妈妈的囊肿结节都是被孩子气出来的
故事在完整看下来还是不错，特别是有几场戏十分感染人，爸爸妈妈和大女儿争吵冲突是戏肉！演员的表演比故事的呈现要好很多，会是看演员演绎看爽的作品。
一个富有感染力的故事也有赖于一帮全情投入的真挚诚恳的演员们的集体努力才让观众产生深深的代入感，也悄然引领着观众去反思去理解亦或者去重振生活。
在20年前的台湾，看得出普通的中产家庭想要维持一个光鲜的美国梦是有点吃力的。明明以为自己再够一够手就能达到了，却被一场疾病打回原形，妈妈内心的不甘是比女儿更强烈的吧。
只言片语中透露出不景气经济大环境下的时代背景，从美国撤回，需要适应的不仅有疾病会夺走母亲，还有教育环境，曾经暂时缺席的父亲。
最后一场打斗戏份和马棚独角戏太出色了，积聚了全片的负能量和伤感如潮水涌向观众。每个角色都有无以名状的怨气，无处释放，发人深省
比起愛，這一家人更懂什麼是恨。喜歡這部片細水長流的講述方式，到最後也沒有所謂的和解。看了導演的訪問，她說這部片沒有一場戲是虛構的，所以這種自傳式的情感故事衝擊力很大。話說大女兒在網咖裡聽的那首是周杰倫的什麼歌？（😢）
