It's amazing how I even wrote this.
I said that Wong Kar Wai is my personal love, Woody Allen is my spiritual mentor, what is Almodovar, the one who made me reconcile with the past and made me more lonely.
What is a master, what is a master, not sensational, not tearjerker. Rather, it can give movie-watchers a kind of relief, in which people's unbearable past can be given a reasonable explanation. Watching Almodovar's movies gave me the most direct feeling: if life can be re-enacted. Come again, if there was a superpower in my boyhood that could make things controllable, I would be willing to choose to be the same as now and not change it at all.
I need Almodovar. The charm of Almodovar is not to accept passively, but to make peace with the past calmly. Almodovar's film theme is: women. To be honest, there have always been many directors trying to make films of female genres. One of the most familiar ones is "July and Ansheng", or the Japanese "Flower and Alice", "Flower and Alice" I once said It was the pinnacle of double heroine movies in my heart, and it still is. "Flowers and Alice" is filled with a lot of little craziness, a lot of beautiful heartbroken voices and youthful pure beauty. But what about Almodovar? He has the truth, not a romantic affair that can be defeated by any body odor.
My top five movies by Almodovar are: "The Return", "All About My Mother", "Why My Life Should Be This Way", "Broken Embrace", "Bad Education".
Today, I will pick one and talk about it in detail, let's talk about my favorite "Return". This film depicts a group portrait of a mother and daughter. It can be said that it vividly depicts all the subtle emotions of mother and daughter in this world due to love and helplessness. The women here aren't just playing the daughters and mothers of the family, but, in this and beyond, independent and bleak.
Taking Penelope Cruz's mother role as the main line, she was raped by her biological father when she was a child. After her mother had a lot of guilt, she found out that her husband was actually cheating with other women, and they were burned to death by fire. Because she had no face to see her daughter, she was in the world. The living dead for decades. After Penelope Cruz got married, she gave birth to a daughter with her biological father. This child killed her adoptive father in self-defense while being raped by her adoptive father. The hearts of these mothers and daughters have been wandering, wandering in love and tragic past events that cannot be cured. In the end, women regained their love and obtained their own spiritual redemption. Hey, at this moment, I feel how insignificant the power of my words is, and what Almodóvar portrayed with the film machine is not only!
Every girl's youth will have one or two things that can be regarded as shadows. In fact, many times this kind of shadow has been brought to adulthood before it can be cured. This kind of shadow is a kind of hidden pain. will not be able to sleep. And in my Almodóvar films, when women gradually hold hands or die, or open up, I also get relief.
How do I feel now, want to cry, want to cry secretly. Girls, love Almodovar, and it will never be in vain to love him in this life. I make a wish that Almodovar will live forever without needing to be immortal.
