In fact, everyone who has seen this movie can probably see that the film discusses the delicate mother-daughter relationship, which is why my colleague would say to me after seeing the cover of this disc repeatedly, ah, this Why didn't the movie see a man! In fact, there are men in the movie, but the men all appear as fathers who rape their daughters. The ugly behavior of the "father" is actually an important factor in the formation of obstacles in the mother-daughter relationship, and it also gives the film the particularity of the mother-daughter relationship. However, even if there is no such father in life, the mother-daughter relationship is very delicate, which I deeply understand.
Human attachment to mothers is innate, and mothers are born with the instinct to protect their children. However, as children grow older, they often discover certain weaknesses and flaws in the mother's character. Most mothers always show a humble image for the sake of their children, and so did my mother. Born in a rural area, with little education, a narrow life circle and lack of financial well-being made my mother a town citizen. Vulgarity, selfishness, petty greed, chattering and other factors can be found in my mother. For a long time, I did not understand my mother. At that time I treated my mother almost with hostility, which continued until my father's sudden death. My father's death was a huge blow to my family, and I found that everyone in the family was trying to learn how to be independent after my father's death, and my mother was no exception.
After my father died, my mother began to grit her teeth to find a job for herself, and began to take on many responsibilities as a real parent. At that time, I gradually eliminated my prejudice against my mother, but because of a long-term habit, there were still many obstacles between me and my mother. I completely understood my mother after I was seriously ill in 2006. When I fell ill, I realized that no one would give up on me like my mother did when I was dying. If there is no mother's meticulous care, I may not be able to get out of the shadow of that serious illness. Since then, no matter how much my mother nags me, I don't pay back, and when faced with unpalatable meals that I couldn't bear before, I also choose to silently eat them all. Although in real life we can't be as open and honest as the mother and daughter in "Return", it still works. For example, because we no longer dislike my mother's food, my mother is more attentive when cooking; because when my mother nags, we always don't answer back, and there are fewer family disputes. Soon there was a scene of harmony in the family...I think this is inseparable from our tolerance and understanding of our mother and ourselves.
Speaking of the movie "Return", Raymond was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter after being raped by her father. Raymonde's childhood was shadowed. She needed her mother's care and concern more than anyone else, but her mother didn't notice it. Raimonde could only choose to neglect and alienate her mother, but her mother often accused her of her unfilial piety. Misunderstandings and obstacles took root in the hearts of the mother and daughter.
It wasn't until many years later that Raymonde's husband also tried to rape his daughter and was killed by her daughter by mistake, that Raymonde finally understood the role she should play as a mother when faced with such a thing. At this time, she had already begun to think that if she had told her mother what had happened to her, her life might have ended differently. She began to miss her mother and began to regret her actions towards her mother. At the banquet, with tears in her eyes, she sang the song that her mother taught her to sing for her daughter when she was a child. The song also made her mother cry.
With the development of the plot, we know that in order to protect Raymonde, the mother burned her husband who had an affair with a neighbor to death, and Raymonde quietly disposed of the body of her husband who was accidentally killed by her daughter in order to protect her daughter. However, the two men who raped their daughters were so ugly. They deserved more than they deserved. Seeing the tears of mixed emotions overflowing from the eyes of the mothers and daughters, people did not feel forgiven for these two murders.
Almodovar is still very romantic. At the end of the film, he not only made the old mother "resurrect" with Raymonde, but also let these women escape the punishment of the law. However, how many lucky people can there be in life? Although it is difficult for us to be as candid as the mother and daughter in "Return", the way to overcome the barriers of mother-daughter relationship is sometimes not as difficult as imagined.

then, why not?
