echo

I like the first half of the story better than the second half. It can also be said that the "Visit" in the film moved my heart more than the film itself. I don't know if I can say that this is just an epiphany in the play-in-play, "Visit", which may be enough to become a more complete story than the film itself. At least, it's my favorite story.

This story is tear-jerking, with flashbacks and interludes, making people feel that "even if they meet, they should not know each other". The first love, met by chance, quietly undressed while the lover was sleeping, had sex alone, wrote a letter in the early morning, and never looked back.

In the years, people are like drifting boats, "a glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, ten years of light in the night and rain in the rivers and lakes". Years after parting, spring grass is blooming, and when we meet again, each other listens to each other, the echo of the years.

All this under the interpretation of Almodovar, is not out of the ordinary.

Why worry about being clichéd? Why always think about looking for something other than life?

The second half gave me the feeling that I wanted to talk too much and wanted to be outstanding. Novelty is novelty, there are twists and turns, and there is also the shrewdness and darkness of Chen Cang, and there is also a taste of cynicism and deconstruction. It's a pity that the distant echo has become a little interrupted and a little lost.

    A very exciting two-line narrative, clever camera cuts and the child's moon river are impressive. Continuing the bad taste of "The Law of Desire", in a sense, this is a movie in which the younger brother and the priest who seduced the older brother murdered the transgender older brother and played the older brother in the film directed by the older brother's first love. With a full director personal label, Almodovar seems to have a preference for paranoia and drag queens.

    The sixth Almodovar, which combines almost all the advantages of the other films: it uses deep erotic texture to detail dog blood as wonder, and the penetration of text and reality elevates pure drama to reflexive spectacle. Color gives women and marginalized people a deep concern for spiritual totems. In addition, the precise depiction of the love and hurt of childhood when the bright and the dark, the innocent and the sinister are as heartbreaking as the summer singing of the Moon River.

  • Ignacio: I think I've just lost my faith at this moment, so I no longer believe in God or hell. As I don't believe in hell, I'm not afraid. And without fear I'm capable of anything.
