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 .
不喜欢前面它玩的大部分花招，除了变石头的那个够“大道至简”，其他的对我来说太无厘头了些。最后有被缠绕的情感关系煽到。母亲说，如果我没有私奔会更好。女儿说，如果你没有生下我会更好。她们一定是这样又爱又恨的状态，控制、依赖、焦虑通通指向那个不敢面对失败的、懦弱的、自卑的、害怕被抛弃的自己。但这种煽情同样让我感到愤怒。对我来说母女关系就是一滩烂泥沼。爱的尽头也不是理解，是绑架。所以果然还是应该选贝果啊！
Shhh... Just be a rock
以複製父親的不信任和打壓轉移到對女兒的不信任和打壓，解構儒家思想對華人家庭的影響；
2.美籍华人奴颜婢膝，明明中国进入2022年了，他们却仿佛被遗弃在旧金山上个世纪的唐人街里
期间那些絮絮叨叨的哲思探讨，化为一段段创意十足的视觉比喻，场景间无厘头的转换让人目不暇接，快餐时代的你未必跟得上如此多元宇宙间主角的冒险，剪辑蒙太奇简直绝绝子。
如果停止于石头宇宙可能就非常完美了，不管是情绪还是意图上都有那么一丢丢的哲思味，后面无休无止的爱与善良着实看得人上火，前面无论是创意还是痛感都落实的足够到位，其实脑洞还好，令人赞叹的还是拍摄，剪辑等各部门的完美配合，当然说到底这样的电影还是很难看到的，惊喜。
用多元宇宙的外壳包裹家庭温情内核的做法是有效的，但这种高概念新鲜劲一过还是要靠故事来把观众按在座位上，然而本片在多元宇宙的高概念运作上还是有些流于形式，特别是到了后期甚至成为了叙事的一种累赘，而文本方面本片的救世主觉醒也落入了前期铺垫远比后期高潮更有意思的俗套，况且还有不少其实并无必要的荤段子型笑点，而杨紫琼虽然凭借着喜剧和功夫两立的卖力表演维持住了全片的节奏，但这个故事在表面的全程高能和花样百出之下，显然并不像它宣传的那么有趣。

而且还能让你对几乎每一个细节感同身受——无论是宇宙的浩渺还是生活的琐碎无力
讲真，绕这么大一个圈，只为了讲母女关系的和解，真没必要，母女矛盾也不必上升到宇宙空间才能引起注意吧，何况故事讲得还不咋地。
全宇宙的父亲都看不见女儿的存在，全宇宙的丈夫都是甩手掌柜的存在，剩下在苦海里挣扎快要窒息的母亲和看不清这一切为何会这样反过来指责母亲的女儿，要我说，炸了吧，别演了。就像《厌女》里面说的，母亲厌女，女儿也厌女，最后大家都深受其害却不自知。
电影真的很棒，讲的大概就是multiverse里某一个“loser”麻麻某一天忽然可以从其他multiverse里的自己借助到力量，来对抗大反派女儿的故事。multiverse的设定很夸张时而紧张时而爆笑，布景服化道有一点赛博风。中间很担心电影太飞了，害怕结局拉跨。但是最终还是回归到了家庭里面的用爱和empathy击倒黑暗的主题。尤其是妈妈和女儿之间的冲突，作为亚洲家庭长大的小孩真的太能relate了。很喜欢导演的定位“It’s about a family, and Asian is an important part of it, but the feelings are universal”
简单总结：
吵得我脑壳痛，到后来也是越来越无法进入，但是喜欢这一段：- I'm sorry about ruining everything. - Shhhh. You don't have to worry about that here. Just be a rock.
但是不可能在国内院线上，因为少儿不宜的镜头还挺多的。
影片共鸣共情的地方真的太多，存在和虚无主义，唯物or唯心，爱与被爱，家庭纽带和独立，关怀牵绊还是放手，善良对抗暴力等等，瞬息间拨动心弦后劲实在太大，这是值得二刷三刷去玩味其中的奥妙。
10.美国越来越拉了，以前移民，追美国梦！现在…不移民，祖父悖论闺女就没了
显而易见，不是多重宇宙，而是多重类型电影。虽然没什么意义，但又是一部让我感受到深处彩蛋与戏仿文化占据主要位置的时代的电影，《头号玩家》如是，《新蝙蝠侠》也如是。这么一想，进入西部片（而非真正的西部世界）的《回到未来3》总算回到了属于它的未来。
但这是个太敷衍的方式，特别是当世界的无数种可能在女儿面前无差别的展开时，爱的这点救赎力量就更值得怀疑。
头皮发麻，鸡皮满地，泪流满面……感觉在电门上坐了两个小时，牛X炸了……
