      sexy life

      When making choices, we still follow our hearts, not our minds. Alena is with Victor again because of lust, even though he already has a husband. It was not hard to see that she had long since fallen out of love with David. While Elena helps David take a shower, they make out David and kiss her. . But she suddenly thought that Victor could see that she had no passion for this relationship, just loyalty and responsibility.
          From at Elena's father's funeral, when he saw Victor, the black...

      gun lover and love

      Living Color is an overly whitewashed translation. The literal translation of the original text is "Shaking Flesh". I think that is much better.
      Only living flesh and blood can sum up this film directly
      .

      The prostitute gives birth to a victor on the bus, and the prostitute bites the umbilical cord with her teeth.
      Later hugs the newborn and laughs with relief.

      The blood on her hands and mouth is in the newspapers and on TV. The mayor and the minister of...

      Live color can produce fragrance

      Watching this film, I admire the director Almodovar in awe. I also understand that only with the nourishment of love can we approach living and produce fragrant fruits. . .
      First of all, he has a deep understanding and the most direct expression of love. One kind of love is maternal love, and the expression of love is to leave money to each other. Victor was in front of his mother's tomb, holding 150,000 yuan in his hand, and said to himself: "I kept thinking on the way here, how many...

      Why is the title translated so sexy...?

      It's a bizarre love story. As always Almodovar style, the characters are intricately connected, involving lust, murder, conspiracy, love, domestic violence. But I have to say that when I saw the hero Victor, who had collected the address Elena had left him for so many years, put it in the Bible, and put it together with the clippings of the mother's photo of his birth, I was still very moved. Although time has changed for so many years, he was rejected by Elena and became a victim of the...

      red hunger


          One of my favorite poems was "Red Hunger" by René Charles, in which there is a line "When you die, a finger is in your mouth". The breath of death that pervades the whole poem has never been able to cover up the sexiness implied in this sentence and this gesture. Or, death itself is sexy.
        This pose resembles the incomparably rich red people in Bliss Almodóvar's lens, who hold their fingers up to their mouths and live in a sexy gesture. In Almodóvar's description, sex is always...

      After reading it, I feel that the story is a good one. I used to get impatient when I watched some bad movies, but today I watched this movie very peacefully. This shows that this movie should be 3 stars or above in my impression. . I don't know when this film was downloaded before and put it on the F drive. I remember that it seemed to be the resource I was looking for in 6. I'm afraid I was attracted by the name.... [See the movie review for...

      No one can possess his youth, and the woman he loves. I just want to lie beside you, give you a final orgasm with a pistol, and lie beside you. No matter how bloody, Almodovar was able to settle down in deep love and tender redemption in the end. Not only about trembling desire, but also sincere emotion and desperate affection. At the end of the film, new life arrives on the crowded streets, and the brightly lit Spain has also ushered in its own political...

      It turns out that Javier was half-paralyzed before being fully paralyzed. It's ironic to watch the movie of my favorite Spanish actor and the most disgusting director! The sheer bullshit story of a half paralyzed and four madmen, the name of Blindness, the most filthy and stupidest animal love, two women who never did a normal thing from beginning to end, one She dared to shoot her man for sex, one dared to practice disability for sex, bastard dared to shoot her companion for...

    Evaluation action

    Although the film still has strong decorative and emotional elements, Almodovar has gradually stepped out of the bizarre and flashy, and has moved towards a mature narrative, reflecting a calm and humorous attitude towards life and art. The film is one of Almodovar's works that combines sex and violence better. The story of the film presents a continuous cycle, in which the dislocation of sexuality leads to the dislocation of character...
