　　这个导演十分可恶，先极尽勾引诱惑之能事，逐步升级，把你搞得遐想连翩，简直都要控制不住了，然后兜头一盆冷水，一下浇灭了你的热情如火，让你不禁质疑起自己的性心理——我真的如此丑陋？真的不能把别人当作有人格的人来尊重，而只把他们当成欲望的工具？我的欲望本身难道不是丑陋的吗？　　他其实在抨击现代传媒方式，是媒体把人们变成了这样——我要满足我要爽，而这并不是生活的真相，真正的美好常常与爽无关。　　虽然手法有些恶劣，但其实，他是想要传达一些信息，帮助你改善自己的生活。

　　Sheila Hood is an ex-cop whose marriage is on the rocks. Rather than confronting her husband about an affair, she hides surveillance cameras in her home and watches his transgressions, becoming a voyeur of her own life. Her husband, Tom Kale, is an ornithologist who begins an affair with an ex-girlfriend, Merle James, whose beauty and fragility echoes that of the birds he studies. Ray Starling, the charismatic owner of a boutique hotel, is Merle’s lover, and has dealings with her father, Mr James, a powerful oil baron who operates in the shadows but whose influence touches the whole city. Merle’s younger sister, Hazel, is also drawn to Tom, but trapped in Starling’s web of power. Calvin is an cop whose loyalty to his ex partner, Hood, is tested when mounting evidence from her own surveillance tapes connects her and Tom to Starling’s murder, and perhaps even Merle’s mysterious death.
