Had a dream this morning.
I dreamed that when I came home, I saw a lot of small books in the closet. They were actually the exam papers, homework books, scribbles and unrestrained words written on the scratch paper when I was in middle school. I'm amazed, where did these things come from? Many details in the dream are forgotten, as if my mother brought it back from school. But I was shocked. The school I attended had been demolished for twenty years.
I just realized that this is a dream, not real, or that those scribbled test papers and workbooks were once very real, but they are gone forever and can't be returned to my hands again. , exists only in dreams.
When you realize that you are dreaming, the dream is almost awake.
Why have this dream?
Because, last night saw Pedro Almodóvar's Pain and Glory
Why have this dream?
Because, at the end of watching Pedro Almodóvar's Pain and Glory last night, director Salvador found his childhood self in a small shop - that distant and hot afternoon, the primitive cave but beautiful basement Inside, the mason drew on white ash a sketch of a little boy, Salvador, sitting on a wooden chair and reading.
When I saw this movie, I felt like I wanted to cry.
So, I had this dream.
That painting foretold the fate of Salvador's life, love, desire, and movies. Isn't it the fate of Pedro Almodovar's life?
And in my dream, when I see the scribbling and writing of my childhood again, the words I record at will, it is also the first love, desire, and writing.
Movies are a dream, and so is literature, but sometimes the dream is more real than the world you see with your own eyes.
The mother played by Penelope Cruz, who will be beautiful in the future, may not be the last old mother in the movie. The last scene turned out to be really a movie. I think probably all the childhood memories, at least the part about my mother, are scenes from the movie "First Desire" written by director Salvador. El Salvador brought in Penelope Cruz to play his mother, just as he hired the actor he once had a bad relationship with to play him on stage.
After watching the movie, I realized that the male lead Salvador turned out to be Anthony Banderas. He was really thin, old, and illegible, just like the ailing character he played in the movie, but he got better.
Thank you, Almodovar
You are worthy of your pain, you are worthy of your glory
