In the movie, the most striking thing is the two women in the movie: the female fighter Lydia and the ballet dancer Alicia, one is tough and passionate, and the other is gentle and tender. It is a pity that after encountering different accidents, the two are in roughly the same situation. And the men who love them deeply are not limited to the image of the viewer. Although at the beginning of the film, the viewer is placed in the position of the "viewer". After the heroine suffered an accident, the two men took Their respective actions have transformed the mental state of "visual obsession" into practical actions, such as Benino, who had a relationship with Alicia's body, and finally awakened Alicia. Some convert the mental state of "identity" into a "fetish", such as Mark, after Lydia's car accident, he took an excessive spiritual investment in the object of Lydia, and his projection merged with his ex-wife , therefore, the memories of him and Lydia are constantly interspersed in his dreams (perhaps it was his subjective spirit, that Lydia and his ex-wife also suffered death). The reason for the mental fluctuations of the two men lies not only in the serious accident of the loved one, but also in the actions of the two heroines who ignored the call of the man. However, the difference between the two is that, before the accident, Alicia and Benino's initial knowledge and unintentional provocation strengthened Benino's wishful love for Alicia, and a miracle will come to Alicia spiritual sustenance. At the end of the film, the relationship between the two: the displacement of the emotional line of Marc-Lydia Benino-Alicia, emphasizing the sense of playfulness of its fate, and the fragility or uncertainty of the relationship between men and women in the larger environment.
In terms of expression, the red that Amodo loves is also a national treasure of Spain, emphasizing the exoticism of the film. As a love legend in the Spanish region, the regional color enhances the surreality of the film. Whether it is the substitution scene of the song of the dove or the exploration of Alicia's boudoir, the strong color is no longer just a highly recognizable national mark. , it also deepens the emotional expression of the male protagonist, because red has a sense of emphasis on memories, and acts on the matador's costume, prayer table, Spanish pavilion, and toys in Alicia's boudoir. Starting from the color, compared with Mark, it can be seen that Almodovar arranged more color blocks for Benino, which also shows how strong his obsession and enthusiasm for Alicia. Regarding Mark's emotions, his detached character made his expression too forbearing, and finally his true expression in a red polo shirt will make the film's emotional expression of the motif richer and more advanced. sublimation. In the background music, the extensive use of waltzes and the visual display of ballet dances are not intended to be traditional practices, but large segments are placed in order to respect classical art. In this situation, it is to increase the solemnity of the story and set a tone. Make the story a legend and exist. This also makes Almodovar's usual absurd fragments in the story clips, such as "Benino scrubs Alicia's private parts" and other plots, will not make people feel emotionally out of balance.
What is worth affirming is that in the film, the man's deep love for women is the most impressive to the audience. Marc under the stone exterior has a tender heart like Benino, even though their lives are very different: Benino lost his father when he was young, and has lived with his mother for more than 20 years. , Mark's heart is with his ex-wife, he is taciturn, and the image of a tough guy is vivid on the paper. Both have the same destination. Of course, the director is also consciously deepening the tragedy of Benigno, so that the whole story is dominated by Benino as the central point in the second half: after Benino is convicted, everyone admits that Benino is a Good boy, but no one went to see him, bound by morality, they despised what Benino did, but it is impossible to know whether the rape was done by Benino, we can see It's just that he sleeps at home, gets up, and goes to work. Everyone took it for granted that it happened without a trace of doubt. At this time, Almodovar did not forget to ridicule them for taking it for granted, and explained it with the tragic life of Benino. This corresponds to the story of the missionaries raping children at the Lydia's house at the beginning of the film. People will only attribute all sins to the weak and kind people who cannot resist, and think that the punishment they "take for granted" is just, and they no longer care about the life and death of others. The extent to which moral and religious shackles harm individual liberty is beyond anyone's guess.
Almodovar changed the concept that "daughters are flesh and blood made of water, and men are flesh and blood made of mud", and created a man who is crazy about love, which makes people feel very gratifying. The male protagonist in the film has a different ending. The tragedies caused by lies cannot be stopped in time, and people's hypocritical goodwill harms a young life. But fortunately, the movie is not desperate to the end. Mark inherited the will of Benino and lived, which can be seen as the combination of the two spirits, which explains why Alicia trembled when she saw him. , which not only affirms that all the efforts Benino made in caring for Alicia are worthwhile, but also proves that miracles do happen. In this indifferent social environment, people can keep a slight hope and always believe in the love they can have. The world is in chaos, what does it have to do with me?
