Synopsis
Robert (Antonio Banderas) is a plastic surgeon whose wife committed suicide after being disfigured in a car accident years ago.
So he has been working on skin transplantation for many years, and now he has achieved remarkable results.
He has researched that the skin transplanted into the human body can withstand high temperature and fire, and can also prevent mosquito bites.
Outside, Robert has been claiming his experiments with mice.
In fact, for many years, he has secretly imprisoned a mysterious woman Vera (Elena Anaya) in order to conduct human skin experiments.
Robert kept Vera in the upstairs room, never letting her see anyone, and just observing life through the surveillance video in the living room every day.
On this day, Robert was not at home, and the son of the maid came to visit in a strange dress.
It turned out that he had just committed a robbery and escaped from the police while taking advantage of the carnival celebrations.
Soon after he entered the house, he found Vera on the surveillance camera.
In spite of his mother's dissuasion, he even tied her up and went upstairs to do animal things.
Fortunately, Robert rushed back, and he directly shot and killed the maid's son.
Only at this time did he realize that his feelings for Vera had warmed up, and he couldn't stand the violation of other men against her at all.
So, he decided to give Vera certain freedom, such as being able to enter and leave the house freely, but on the condition that he never leave his side.
Vera agreed, and she began to learn about Robert from the maid, trying to learn about his past.
It turned out that Robert had a happy family, a beautiful wife and a well-behaved daughter.
But because of that accident, his wife was severely burned all over. Although she saved her life, she jumped off the building because she couldn't bear the disfigurement.
And daughter Norma suffered from mental illness after losing her mother.
Although the treatment was effective, misfortune did not come singly. Norma was assaulted by a strange man at the banquet.
The disease recurred, and Norma finally chose the same path as her mother and committed suicide.
This was a very big blow for Robert.
He vowed to find the beast that violated Norma and make him pay the price...
Video Analysis
Another work by Almodovar. Compared with the previous ones, this movie has a more bizarre plot, heavier taste, and is relatively more "good-looking". The story told in the film is very "wonderful", and I wonder what kind of brain hole can come up with such a heavy-handed, perverted plot full of love, abuse and ethics.
Because this movie is almost impossible to write without spoilers, and you can’t watch it without spoilers, so it is recommended that you read the movie after watching the movie.
I think the creation of characters is the core of this story. It is the emotional entanglement of human beings that leads to the occurrence of bizarre events, which seems to confirm from the side that the emotional world of human beings is inherently complex and bizarre.
The male protagonist, Robert, is undoubtedly a man with great love. I believe that his love for his wife and daughter is no less than anyone else's, but it is such an almost perverted obsession that makes him go further and further on the road of sin.
In fact, Vincent didn't make any big mistakes. He didn't do anything heinous other than drugs and ruined his brain. After he knocked Norma unconscious, he even helped her put on a dress.
But he never imagined that Norma was suffering from a mental illness, and the song awakened her memory of her mother's suicide, which led to a relapse of her old illness. As her father, Robert will naturally seek justice for his beloved daughter. After all, he has lost his wife, and his daughter is his only one.
Robert's revenge is almost crazy. After his daughter's death, he experimented on Vincent's body and transformed him into his wife's appearance for his daily viewing to fill the spiritual void. But he never thought that he would fall in love with this pet that he made with his own hands, and he paid the price for his cruelty and violence.
The plot development of the film and the final result are extremely impactful for us viewers. Robert, who avenged his love, finally came to the end of his life; Vincent, who had been separated for many years without saying goodbye to his mother, returned home, but he was already a different person. The emotions we generate in the process of watching the film are the same as those in the film. They are complex, bizarre and sadistic. Maybe there is a deformed seed hidden in everyone's heart.
The obsession with love will eventually make people fall into it, unable to extricate themselves, and sometimes letting go may be the best choice.
