This is not the first time to watch a film directed by Almodovar, he really has first-class storytelling ability! This one is no exception. The actors' acting skills are in place, and the story is not too protracted, nor is there any short rambling from parents. The whole story is completed in one go, and the characters are distinct and lively. Although there is a plot where a daughter kills not a biological father, and a mother who kills a derailed husband and a mistress, the atmosphere of the movie is not heavy at all, as if these are just a small part of life, pushed by life, and have to face more Many questions. Really resonates. Only after watching the second half did I slowly understand the true meaning of the movie's name "return", my mother came back. In the final episode, when the mother went to take care of the daughter of the mistress who was set on fire by herself, she wondered if it could be regarded as a kind of redemption for herself. The film does not show the hesitation and regret of hiding the body of her own father for her daughter, nor does it show the repentance of the mistress who set fire to her husband, but it is only logical that they were forced to do such a thing, as if everything was in jeopardy. It happened without even thinking about it. Red is used many times in the movie, and there are many clothes with various Spanish-style patterns. After watching it, it is very pleasing to the eye and full of exotic styles.

Red doors, red buses, red fences, red handbags, red flowers on the plackets ``'' The girl next to her who killed her father because she prevented her from violating herself. She is both a daughter and a sister. Mother burned to death the romantic father and his lover. Where does all the evil come from? The green grass by the river has dried up, can you still have a nice donut lunch? The stamens wrapped in red petals are white. Is the white sacred and innocent or terrifying and bleak? Deep sunken eyes, rich cleavage, beautifully curved legs, hardworking and kind
