      not scary

      The ending was a bit disappointing. Perhaps the biggest mistake of this doctor was that he didn't give Vincent hormones, so even if the surgery created something, he still didn't feel lumpy. What kind of feelings can you have if you don't hurry up? He does not want to escape and go back to his own life all the time, six years! The ending is really not handled well, it can be cruel and cold. Are there any doctors who can say that a good mind and infatuation is just too low in emotional...

      no title

      This plot is beyond imagination. And I've been thinking about how I avenge if I need it one day. It's fun to think about, and the violence is exciting. I also know that many times, when violence is released, it is like a fire that suddenly bursts out of control. Even though I know this, and I'm calm now, I still like to imagine that everyone has the seeds of violence in their hearts. Also, everyone abides by the law, lives in peace, and the society is harmonious. At this time, the law is...

      Skin and Inner Personality

      The director of "The Skin of My Dwelling" is Pedro Amovado. Perhaps people who are familiar with Amovado will suddenly realize, ah, it turns out to be him, then it is not surprising. Most of Amovado's films are based on the theme of curiosity, ethics and morality are all clouds in his eyes, and they only talk about the deepest sins and desires hidden in human nature.

      The beauty of ultimate destruction, the emotion of crazy subversion, Amovado destroys the order but builds his perfect...

      The inner monologue of the crowd

      Male protagonist: One shot for another, reasonable and fair. Servant (male protagonist's mother): Die together, true love for mother and son. Hostess: It doesn't matter if you break it, but you can't break it for me, kill it. bald head: i never do it unless i don't know

      Female tailor in the tailor shop: Let's talk about the sisters from now on! Motherfucker: Director, add a line at the end, it's weird not to speak

      Director: No screenwriter: Thailand is not in vain, so apply what...

      Love Almodovar's slow storytelling feeling! ! ! It won't be so slow as to fall asleep like Cai Mingliang. . . Gradually entering a better state, I can't stop, the little details everywhere are invincible, the color is the characteristic of Almodovar, so many rich and gorgeous colors always surround the atmosphere of despair! ! ! Those crazy and stupid loves, those beautiful and charming bodies~~~ How long do I have to be hungry to get so skinny? ! I'd love to have a small...

      Spain is rich in handsome men and beautiful women. The poor Xiaoshou was lustful for a while, made a mistake and hurt an innocent girl. She was transformed by the girl's father, an angry and somewhat psychopathic doctor Gao Shuaifu into a beautiful woman like the doctor's deceased wife. After being imprisoned for 6 years, she has some Stockholm syndrome. But still unwilling to give in to kill the doctor. In fact, it was transformed into Wolverine and ran to join the X-Men....

      An instantly recognizable Almodovar movie, gay and transgender, sadomasochism and color. An alternative version of "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Up" and a designated educational video on drug resistance for teens. The whole film is full of chaotic flow of eroticism, all kinds of love and sex entangled into a strange mess. However, Almodóvar's concise narrative, coupled with the elegant soundtrack and clean shots, make such a love affair appear beautiful and full of tension. One of the top ten European...

      After losing his wife, the plastic surgeon blamed the young boy for the loss of his beloved daughter. In order to avenge him, he kidnapped him, changed his gender, and had plastic surgery to be a woman similar in appearance to his daughter. This little guinea pig, whose life trajectory was changed, endured the humiliation, seduced the doctor and took the opportunity to kill...

    Creative background

    The film was inspired by the French novelist Thierry Jonquet's "Tarantula". Almodóvar was exposed to the original novel in 2001, the French novelist Terry Jonquet's novel "Tarantula". The original novel involves some rather adult and extreme themes, and this has become the focus of Almodovar's adaptation of the script. With the writing of the script, the story of Almodovar gradually deviated from the original plot of the novel. Except...

    Evaluation action

    "The Skin of My Living" is adapted from the novel "Tarantula". Compared with the straightforward and bloody violent aesthetics of "Old Boy", this film has more scientific rigor and calmness than Almodovar's previous works. Like a gentle scalpel. Don't be anxious to broadcast the human mind, but slowly dissect the human mind to the audience little by little. In terms of narrative structure and gender temperament, Almodóvar is...
