The most ingenious part of the film is the application of montage between images and images, and between images and sounds, which greatly saves space, strengthens the rhythm of the film, and makes the film refined and original.

The title of the film is as refined as the content, and basically all the themes in the film have been exposed: sex, lies and videotape. The movie shows us two different sexual states: 1. Use lies to satisfy your sexual needs. 2. Use other means to avoid lies and guilt. At the same time, the film also highlights a series of problems hidden in our family, such as family ethics, patriarchy and so on. The video tape is the dark thread of the whole film, running through the whole film. The four protagonists use the video tape to cause a series of dramatic conflicts, which drives the development of the film. At the same time, it also implies that audio and video are an important medium for people to express their hearts and open their hearts.
