return

A film in which there are actually no men or a few men also died of patriarchal awareness. The return of women's independence and the return of women's independence. Almodovar's strength is also his respect for the word "female" in his heart.

Throughout the film, there are female protagonists who bear the charge of their daughter's manslaughter of her boyfriend, neighbor aunts who let go of the hatred of their parents' tragic death, and various years of grievances, but there are always no police, no legal trial, and instead With the passage of time and space, everyone's end is in the end, those who should hate let go of hatred, those who have obsessions let go of their obsessions, and those who should return will eventually return. The director's films have returned from legal compliance to human common sense and common sense, and back to women's. Self-relief and independent choice to let go, rather than the traditional "forced", this is the most wonderful.

The suspense blessing is still Almodovar's necessary means, but this suspense is not a knot but only a solution. It is solved with time. A touch of warmth spreads between this time and space, making people feel comfortable and easy to follow. As the time coordinates in the camera pass, everything seems to be accustomed to that, until the black screen, which is the so-called immersion.
