Tribute to Almodovar

A nun with AIDS, a transgender and A Streetcar Named Desire, and the three most important things in Manila's life, Esderban. One is her transgender husband, the other is her son who was in a car accident on his 17th birthday, and Lisa's son.

Been looking for Almodovar's "All About My Mother" for a long time and finally finished it today. Moved by the greatness of motherhood. The plot of "A Streetcar Named Desire" is played more than once in the film. Yes, when Stella left with her newborn child, it was the true portrayal of Marilla.

The transgender Esderban, the gay drama actor in the film, these are all tragedies. Fortunately, in the end, little Esderban was cured of AIDS, and Lisa's mother's attitude changed, all made us feel that human nature is still good.

You can't refuse such a film, the only thing you can do is to enjoy it quietly, and then be moved from the heart.
