live in the world

The despair in the film is all brought about by death, but none of them lead to death.

Many critics say that there are many places in the movie that show women are good at redemption and tolerance, which is completely true, Manu is simply returning to matriarchal society and possessing Eve: while telling Rosa you can't treat me as a mother while taking people home ...but I dislike these two traits, I think they are almost equivalent to forbearance, swallowing, and to a level of stupidity that is not self-love. Words that evaluate femininity, such as reproduction, tolerance, comfort, etc., are like poison to me. These words carry a strong sense of self-paralysis and sacrificial dignity, without the slightest sense of personal spirit and reflection on life. These inappropriate descriptions created a humiliating embarrassment for me. What, just accommodating? forgive? If I can't figure it out, shouldn't I be resentful? Still getting slapped on the spine? The point is not about forgiveness and kindness, nor about the image of a mother being strong even in the quagmire. But, life is very tm cd, I have experienced shi-like tricks, but I straightened it out, went to see the person I should meet, and ended the past without saying goodbye, which I can't get over for a while or maybe my whole life. I threw it aside and ignored it. Even if I was occasionally sad, I could continue to hold my head up and live the life I wanted. This is the reason why I love this film and I will never forget it for a few years after I watched it as a child. I am unbearable, but it does not prevent me from living beautifully.

I don't really care about how queerness and STDs have social issues in the film, and I don't want to make a big fuss about it. They may seem absurd, they may sound incredible, but they are only part of life. Some people have different choices physically, professionally, socially, and recreationally, but no one can escape from life. Continuing life with strength and conviction is more valuable than discussing marginalized people, and this film is good at showing what it is like to live bravely. Marginal or not, we all need stories that inspire us to face life so that we are not alone. Yes, a good movie can empathize with everyone. Break disciplinary stereotypes with a life you can truly empathize with.

Obviously, the film lacks masculinity, and it only shows one-sidedly: death needs to be saved, jealousy is dominated by sexual desire.

Lola is a set of contradictions. Although he appears in very few scenes, each time it is related to life and death. I can actually understand his motives, but as an irresponsible representative, he has done nothing. He was lucky to be forgiven. In a sense, his redemption also gives people a lot of hope, and it is also a kind of salvation for those who repent of their mistakes.

The colorful picture, the full tones are just right, it is simply comfortable. I heard that when Amo was a child, he often saw his mother wear black to attend solemn funerals and resisted black all his life. Later, he came into contact with Pop and originally Baroque was also popular in Spain. His use of colors was as colorful and harmonious as an explosion. Although Pop has become cheap and secular in modern times, it is not on the table, but the essence of life is probably the same.

The film is dedicated to women in all senses, but also to those who want to be mothers. I don't want to talk about love and tolerance, it's vulgar and kidnapping, it's freedom and bravery. They all maintained their kindness and lived out themselves despite their struggles.

The girls are so cute.

    The only core word "comprehensive" is not included in Almodovar's praise to "All About My Mother". Son, as the only male psychology in this film, was "cut out" of this mother body early by him, just because this female-exclusive "A Streetcar Named Desire" would not be moved by his simplicity. For this reason, he invites all the audience outside the screen to enter the theater, for fear that it will become a fantasy, and under the banner of "Women Only", he will not get the completeness he wants.

    Almodovar's use of color reaches the extreme in this film, and the red full of life consciousness is completely different from Zhang Yimou's repressed and tragic. Everything about a mother is love, an unparalleled love that spans time and space. A life intertwined with blood and tears on and off the stage of "A Streetcar Named Desire". This is not just a woman's story, but concerns for the LGBT community. In the current Chinese cultural context, the importance of such works is beyond doubt.
