I've been looking forward to Almodovar's comeback for many days, but I can't think of being able to get the DVD and watch it in person on Christmas Eve.
Really happy xx. When I heard that he had a new film, I was looking forward to it;
plus the 6 leading actresses who participated in the film won the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival at the same time, it was even more incredible.

In fact, I don't know much about Amo's early works and styles, and I see more of his works after the 1990s.
Compared with ,
appears more peaceful, without ups and downs, without strong emotions, but reveals more warmth.

I'll admit, I'm obsessed with Almodovar's story.
Every time he tells a story, I can't help but get into the play.
Along with his situation, his plot, and his dialogues, we can see his perception of life, his
admiration and praise for the brilliance of motherhood, and the revelation of some human ugliness.

There's always something bizarre in Ah Mo's plot,
but I know he'll justify it and make it feel complete.
His suspense will be solved later, which is the most different point from David Lynch.
David is a nightmare like a mystery, which will always make people unable to see through and understand. This is the charm that belongs only to Lynch.
And Amo, no matter how weird, surprising or even cruel the plot is, in the
end you can get that comfort, warmth and touch.

Just like , when my obviously deceased grandmother climbed out of the trunk of the car,
I couldn't help snickering, and I was secretly excited. I don't know what A Mo is doing this time. ?
I'm looking forward to his self-justification.
Watching this old woman become a Russian shampoo girl, hid on the bed and watched her daughter's high heels dangle,
couldn't help watching her daughter sing the song she taught from the back window of the car, and then burst into tears...
and The granddaughter talked about her daughter, looking forward to settling with her daughter, but hesitating...
Until the end, sure enough, it didn't disappoint me in the end. . .

All I can say is that under the influence of Almodovar, I have become more and more vague about the concept of so-called good and evil.
Some people really deserve to disappear from this world, one way or the other.
I have no sympathy for the people who died on the show. Forgive me for being so indifferent.
Because they don't know how to love at all!
Thanks to the director for letting them die in the movie. Even if there are still thousands of such people living in the real society.


I really admire him for making such a
tragic story, full of life and death, illness, ethical tragedy, male inferiority, and murder,
into a warm comedy that makes me smile or laugh from time to time,
and after watching it again The great qualities of women and the selfless love of mothers are beyond touching.

Just like after reading "All About My Mother",
I was thinking about being better for my mother.
Although I know that sometimes it is difficult for even the closest people to understand you.
But at least we all love each other so much,
just like the three generations of women in .

Thinking of this feeling, I am very content.

    Almodóvar's sincere work for caring for women

    The too bright, too dazzling pictures form a strong contrast with the tragic fate of reincarnation, but throughout the whole film, the aura is weak and the highlights are insufficient; of course, Cruz's cleavage is another matter.
