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 .
7/10 全方位不如《第一归正会》，赌场是施拉德随手抓的一个类型元素么？
5.2 PTSD的高级包装，信息的简化促进人物和观感处于失控的紧绷感，除了奥斯卡在其他角色都是多余的
让我想到了福柯的训诫与惩罚，但文艺性不如拉斯冯提尔
有些拍摄手法比如鱼眼广角是有趣的，但是大部分故事线动机都非常薄弱…救赎的合理性也没有讲的很清楚…爱情线也太突兀了…
摄影和剪辑很加分。虽然但是，对于黑狱中的执行者没啥值得原谅的，尽管他也是个人。
让我有点想起《第一归正会》。是我喜欢的风格。
只是想看看oscar听他声音的我没想到这是一部这么深邃的片子…… 难受的高潮还是在最后的转折
本来应该给3分 毕竟oscar很帅 而且镜头也不错 但是最近真的厌倦这种遮遮掩掩的 还遮掩得不够有趣的 看得人好累
最后 男主与其女友在看守所隔着玻璃食指相抵 还是很有感情哒 呃。。。。。女友的指甲太长吧。。。顶在玻璃上有点搞笑 有点出戏ヾ(。￣□￣)ツ
真的是完全靠奥斯卡的个人魅力撑起来的一部电影，且他本人还有点面瘫在这里。鱼眼镜头是为数不多的亮点，但也仅限于此。玩牌的部分和主线反战的结合也不是非常紧密，配乐和空镜更是到了滥用的程度…
我怀疑不懂德州扑克是我看不进去这部电影的主要原因，连摄影师反复给Oscar各种勾人特写都不能阻止我昏昏欲睡，看完b站首页直接出现德州扑克教程…破防了😥
摄影有布列松那味，但是一看到男主屁股那么大就又……不是那味。长镜头监狱那段，真的挺帅。
配乐挺好的，监狱里的那段画面挺喜欢
就是这个导演！能把他的所有主角都拍成beta（褒义
看完唱起那首歌：万万没想到，万万没想到啊~
鱼眼镜头蛮特别，有情绪。哈哈有种在贝壳上VR看房的感觉。我很少相信救赎，就像我不相信有和解一样，一切都是短暂的超脱，之后还会回来，都是时间叠加的游戏，身份转换的忘性。我只能劝导演，悲惨的过去和拧巴的性格，要想要过得好，只能学会记忆覆盖，可能盖不住，尽力就好啦。不过要先学会分辨好坏，很朴素，但很重要，总好过，拎不清用坏的去覆盖好的。
馬丁團隊的四不像劇作，似曾相識的專業賭戲+出租車司機翻版再翻版；編劇不適合當導演重要的事說三遍，被一幕幕“杯中酒”支配的感覺太詭異了…
{★★★☆} 我忘记了自己为什么不待见Paul Schrader的上一部电影，但这次他仅凭稀释到惨白的沉沦空气就扣留住了我的注意力。和往常一样，他的兴趣目标是在隐秘的扭曲下逐渐麻木的人们，但虐囚显然比环境问题更能击穿道德、以及美国的虚伪。作为Schrader的精神导师，布列松的水平棋高一筹--但这里至少有两个绝伦的镜头，你看到一眼就能认出来。
好爱。监狱的广角镜头将人拖拽回无法自赎的罪孽中，火树银花下的牵手更显珍贵。施拉德营造出一种全程张力紧绷的危险氛围，一尘不染又屎尿血屁。由此，主角的动机更显直接，这是一种认命后不参杂质的单纯。再者，这是一部性感到极致的作品，我几度把它当作hardcore mental porn来欣赏了。Issac和谢里丹的对手戏，他俩那呼之欲出的性张力让我每分每秒都在心里大叫快搞！
勉强3星，片名和剧情本身并无太多关联，算是对体制黑洞以及战争创伤后遗症的反讽，节奏过于拖沓，想看到一场精彩的赌局，结果看了个寂寞。
