Whether you're from the Oscars or the Cannes Film Festival, the name of the big hit doesn't have to be as frequent as any master director.
Every country has such a phenomenal director. Undoubtedly, Almodóvar is the pride of Spain. He frequently pushes Spanish films to the forefront of world films, major world film festivals, film awards, Spanish films have him, no will be ignored.
His three representative works are "Return", "About My Mother", "Tell Her", and of course there are many, many fine works, or these three works are not his best works, but I only watch After these three films, for those who haven't seen it, I only keep silent.
"Return" is obviously an absurd story, which is reasonable (or any absurd thing, only to a certain extent). This is a legendary story. The normal sequence of the film is:
in the girlhood of the heroine (staying in someone else's house), due to her father's sexual assault, she gave birth to a daughter, who is actually her sister. Such an embarrassing story, her mother did not know This matter, but knowing that my father had an affair with another woman, and that he was caught in the bed, he set the house on fire, and his father was killed; the mother's shame and fear of sin, she disappeared from then on (also the sister's fault), but unexpectedly Burned to death by daughter. . .
They hid their husbands. . .
Eventually the mother appears, like a ghost, and confesses their respective fates. . .
It is such an absurd story, the attention to women and the fate of women has earned the author a good name.
"About My Mother" is a serious topic, a serious movie. There are many movies about mothers, and it is indeed not easy to be outstanding; this is a successful movie, and the author has done it. The pantomime, Almodovar-style pantomime, shows a different kind of serious scene; the son was killed by a car while chasing stars, but the absurd thing is that later, the mother got a job as an assistant to the star of the pantomime. , and once again, had the opportunity to replace the leading role in the leading role, this absurd coincidence, the past sadness of losing a son was vividly expressed in pantomime, and then the movie ended.
"Tell Her" is a transformational work. In fact, he wanted to Write a male film; but the female weight is still so insignificant. The male protagonist is a doctor nursing. One day, when he saw her dancing through the window, he was moved. However, one day, when she had a car accident, he had the opportunity to contact her and take full responsibility for her. She was in a vegetative state. "Tell her" is to tell her all kinds of things, so that she realizes that she will wake up with someone with her.
But, one day, she got pregnant, and it was fatal to her; but it was from him, obviously. He's going to jail, and she's awake.
His movies always have a peculiar imagination, not dreamy scenes made by special effects, but stories around us, zoom in and zoom out, so my horizons are broadened
