All stories are love stories

I haven't read the original book, but only watched the movie once, and then I rashly wrote a comment, which only represents my personal feelings. lol.

"Kiss of the Spider Woman" rewrote the usual screen image of revolutionaries. In the eyes of people in peaceful times, revolutionaries are angry and implement revolutionary ideology in every moment of life. As the saying goes, they love tearing B.

But "Kiss of the Spider...

A Love Surpassing Homo/Hetero Space

"She is...Well, She is..." The
