Who said that Almodovar's "All About My Mother" is as plain as running water, how could the life of such a tumultuous mother and such a tragic woman be plain?

The story that just started is very warm, the daily life of a mother and son, because the mother and son are in harmony, the son will record everything about the mother all the time, that kind of memory is the attachment of one person to another person, and in this memory , but the existence of the other half is missing. On the day of his son's birthday, the mother took her son to see "A Streetcar Named Desire". The son wanted to wait for Hongyan's autograph, but was hit by another car while chasing Hongyan's taxi, leaving the mother Pain and regret.

As a mother, I should have been hysterical, but sadly signed the organ transplant consent form and followed her son's heart to see if the transplanted person was doing well, then resigned and returned to Barcelona to tell her son's father A message of the passing of a son. On the way, I met Ayue, a former good friend who was intersex, and Ayue met Rosa. The son's father cheated Ayue of money. At the same time, she also let the nun Rosa, who has done good deeds all her life, break her vows and become pregnant with a child. AIDS. The mother endured the discomfort and took care of Rosa, and met Hongyan as an assistant. She influenced Hongyan and asked Hongyan to voluntarily sign a late autograph for her son, and introduced her friend Ayue, who did not work, to Hongyan. to replace the work of his assistant. These rare and strange women in the world became good friends. Rosa gave birth to a child and died. Before her death, she saw her father and the affectionate Seppi who had long been unable to recognize her, and she also left regrets in her life. The mother took Rosa's child to meet her son's father Lola for the last time, and forgave Lola and lived alone in the distance.

Love and forgiveness are the most moving parts of this mother, and also the most admirable part of being a woman, and the woman who becomes a man is also a woman in Almodovar's eyes, and they are also worthy of respect. It is the most common characteristic of human nature. Learn to love, learn to forgive, but also learn to let go, each other will be better, maybe that is a more comfortable life.

    Said to her, "All About My Mother": kind, loving, kind, helpful, good acting... Almodovar is a bit "perverted", and transgender, incest, rape, etc. appeared in his films It's a despised plot, but even so, I didn't feel disgusted when I watched the movie. For me, who is a bit unaccustomed to transvestites, Lola's appearance in the film did not make me uncomfortable, which is quite rare. Still, "Tell Her" made me like it more! -2013.04.23 —— On Mother's Day, with two female friends, at the China Film Archive (Baiziwan Hall), we revisited "All About My Mother". -2017.05.14

    The look and feel of the B+/second brush is slightly reduced, especially the rhythm of the last 1/3 is a bit tight. At first glance, I don’t have a particularly deep feeling about gender; the second brush feels that Almodovar’s aesthetics and its "female" concept are actually highly embedded in each other: the character plot color editing is strongly saturated in all aspects, and the whole is always restrained. Below the boiling point. Therefore, the abstract, extension and openness of the "female" can be completed while creating a concrete "life". "The Woman on the Edge of Breakdown" seems to have the same reasoning. His photographs have never been narrow "women", but more like constructing a "female" conceptual space. / Delicate and sincere, the story of dog-blood becomes soft and euphemistic. Women and motherhood are no longer dependent on gender but purely on emotion, without a hint of missionary. In contrast, "New Girlfriend" is more like a female and LGBTQ proposition. It's hard to imagine that so many gorgeous colors covering the screen are completely unobtrusive. The soundtrack is full of passion from Spain. The play in the play is still the highlight, and love is still the only thing surging in and out of the play.
