      "If you go first, please wait for me in the sky"


      "Espérame en el Cielo"

      dear, if you go first, please wait for me in the sky;
      I will come right away,
      where you are;
      dear, if you go first, please wait for me in the sky
      ; Heaven, we begin again;

      our love is too great, too great
      to never end;
      our lives are short,
      too short to write an idyll of our love;
      therefore, I beseech you,
      wait for me in heaven,
      where cotton Like clouds, pouring our love nest
      ......

      Not a movie review: Neuropathy old = old neurosis

      Almodovar is definitely an outstanding director, although there have been some suspicions of fried rice in the past two years. This person has made countless crazy movies so far, and I have watched every one of them, from the VCD and DVD in the 1980s and 1990s, to the later VCD and DVD, to the later theater streaming media Blu-ray UHD, not a single one. fall. Unlike many international directors who criticize or sneer at international current affairs and the overall situation of the world,...

      3.5. The legendary death of climax, sadomasochism to the extreme, the Spanish version of the bitter moon, the professional nature of the matador brings repressed fear to men, but stimulates the desire to kill for women. The infatuation of Angel, as a prophet, drives the narrative, and finally fades...

      In the past two days, I have been making up for Almodovar's early films. These films may not be considered mature works, but they can already give a glimpse of the consistent themes in his films. I want you to watch me die, this kind of necrophilia and the so-called "love" of killing each other during orgasm is a bit hard for ordinary people to understand. In his earlier films, sexuality was more daring and...

    Movie quotes

    • Ángel: I'm not afraid of death. Not of mine.

      María: Fear is normal, it gives you courage.

      Ángel: Did you feel afraid?

      María: Yes, it's part of the game. Don't fear fear.

    • Ángel: [pointing to a framed photograph] Your girlfriend?

      María: Ava Gardner. You don't see movies?

      Ángel: No, my family's very religious. I've spent my life praying and exercising.

    • Diego: Why do you want to be a matador? You're not like the others.

      Ángel: Well, I don't know. I guess I like danger. And if I have to die, dying in the bullring is - much more exciting. Isn't it?

      Diego: You're too young to think about that.

      Ángel: What does that matter?

      Diego: You should think of killing, not of dying.
