      Fast and complicated strings

      Whenever you open the theme song of , you will definitely think of this story of
          self-defeating. All the passion of Almodovar will bloom in this film. Unrestrained\unstoppable, and finally happily rushing to death.
          Travelers have no boundaries. In the world of Almodovar, there is no word 'impossible'. In the eyes of the Orientals, the absurd stories that may never happen are in the unrestrained Spain Will the exotic be a habit? Does
           love need...

      1987, died of love

      In 1987, Almodovar let three people die in love.

                              one. Juan
         Juan, it's not your fault not to love me, and it's not my fault to fall in love with you.
         ——Pablo Maybe Juan doesn’t like Pablo . They have sex, they hug, they huddled up in the toilet and snorted cocaine. The day before leaving, Juan wearing red socks said to Pablo wearing smoky gray pants, don’t you want to do hobbies tonight? The morning light is faint, the setting is half white and...

      The beauty in the 1980s was vulgar, even the indoor plants were put in a lot, but it made people think it was really beautiful.

      34 years ago, when amnesia was not reduced to the cliché of brainless dramas to promote the plot, it was used as a place for the characters to explain the past, which is simply wonderful.

      The actors are very beautiful. Even the middle-aged priests, doctors, and mothers with small supporting roles are all good-looking people, regardless of whether they are good or bad. Originally, the female anchor who appeared at 13 minutes made people feel...

      I think I envy Antonio

      I used to think that Brokeback Mountain was the top of the same-sex movie, but after watching Almodovar's Law of Desire, this movie quickly rose to the No. 1 same-sex movie in my mind. If Brokeback Mountain is the love of minority groups under the oppression of the external environment and reflects social problems, then the law of desire has risen to the spiritual level, not about any form, but about ideological value. The director is very successful in the role. He created a flawed and...

      I will never feel such a beautiful dream again

      The review after nearly a year and a half is always different from what I saw at first. As if he has predicted a good ending to you, you only need to decide whether to come to this appointment.

      (The first time I watched it, I was thinking about what Antonio wants in the middle of it? Finally, when the gunfire sounded, I still couldn't believe his innocent purpose. He really just wanted Pablo to love him. And in this In the age when no one is willing to sacrifice a little bit for love,...

      The film of 1987... Spain is really awesome! Romance is dead! ! ! The story of my sister is too bloody, and the brain-dead little policeman is very delicious, looking at him like that, I want to ravage, the guy who owes it (meaning this is not derogatory →_→) and, that little girl is so cute So beautiful, so...

      Antonio Banderas who is so tender, so handsome and so attractive. At the end, I thought of burning coins in flames, but that was another form of happy ending, and this was a soulful tragedy. "He's not a bad guy, he's just...

      It's so pretty. Looking back at Amo now, the feeling is to see different figure skaters circling, and they are all circling the same number of laps. Some people look like robots, but some people look like angels dancing at a...

      For some of Almodóvar's bizarre melodramas, as long as the element of gender is removed, it will be much normal, such as "Return". The ending is still very moving, and the price of love and desire is very high, and he is right about this no matter how...

      Ah Modova movies, my favorite. Very tense, crazy, freewheeling...

    Evaluation action

    "Law of Desire" is a highly autobiographical film. The identity and name of the protagonist, and Tina's experience of being sexually assaulted by the priest are all related to the director Pedro Almodóvar Caballero himself. Therefore, behind the exciting and suspenseful and tense film, there are Almodovar's complex and life hidden   . In this film, Almodovar consciously tells the game between the artist and his lover about love and...
