Relief and Rebirth

This is the first time I see the director's work, the story is connected by three men and two women. Male 1 mason is Almodovar's sexual enlightenment and sexual awakening, male 2 actor colleague Alberto is a combination of angel and devil, a combination of agreement and contradiction, and it is a combination of achievements and abuses attached to Almodovar people. (Contradictions in the interpretation of "Taste", the director's negative comments on the starring Alberto and the film...

lost and found

Success is colorless and odorless, and you won't feel it when you get used to it. - "All About My Mother"

Pain and Glory is a good movie for me. I think the success of a movie is that when I watch it, I can often find some people, stories, and feelings in my life from the characters in the movie. It seems that after reading a book after a long time, what emerges in front of you is no longer a continuous plot, but a momentary expression, color,...

How to love yourself?

After watching: 1. Health first, career second. reading your body, and take care of your body, it's the only way how to love yourself.

2. When you are healthy you are atheist and when you are sick you are a Christian.

3. "Making a movie is a personal labor... If I can't make a movie, what's the point of my life?" - Since Nietzsche, the Judeo-Christian faith has declined, and the Western spirit has fallen into a crisis of meaning. Existentialist philosophy attempts to resolve this...

Reconcile with your painful self

Even though "Pain and Glory" features an aging director and makes him regain his long-lost creative motivation at the end, in the end, the movie talks about not only the creator himself, but also the experience of life. The source of creation is formed from experience and experience, and more of it belongs to a person's "passion" for one's own life and life. Although the title of the film "Pain and Glory" represents the creative inspiration brought by the pain of life, the overall tone of...

love across mountains and seas

A film about happiness, witty, clever and sensual. It's about love, memory, art, motherhood, lovers, and most of all about yourself, and can be frustratingly indulgent in the hands of a smaller director. But Pedro Almodóvar is a master of self-referentiality and intertextuality: film within film, story within story, dream within dream. The director uses his creativity to generate electricity, and the film runs so smoothly and so enticingly. There is a line in the movie that I like very much:...

The shadow on the poster is Almodovar, right? Different from his previous works, there is a deep tranquility. People start to reminisce about the past when they are old. It may not be a dramatic event, but in the complicated memory, it is because they are preserved and become clearer for some reason. Even a flash of this moment can...

[B+] From the intuitive point of view, a film very similar to this film is Jia Zhangke's "Children of Jianghu" last year. This is a memoir about the director himself and a summary of his life after many stages. Those memories in the film, those reunions, those dull and satisfying, mostly exist in the flow of the relationship between characters and society in the form of "fragmentation" and "puzzle". In this narrative mode, directors tend to simplify the complexity, no longer make the subject...

The ending is really wonderful. The third act that takes 30 minutes to finish the third act of the other movies after one shot is finished. This is "Almodovar's brushstrokes". But other parts are not good in the director's own work sequence, they are all chewy elements, not enough, because he is...

Almodovar's personal video diary, every time I watch Almodovar, it's too difficult not to be shocked by the color and composition, and the big screen is even more...

Naturally, there is no longer a rewriting of the story and a re-exploration of the image, but this does not prevent the film from being still very charming. It's amazing, obviously all levels are the end of the end, and when the end is really reached, it turns into an introduction to the entire sequence of...
