The visual impact and the soul impact are strong...

This is a film the director puts on the table to talk about his own experience. Although I don’t know the director Almodovar, I can strongly feel his perception of his own life experience in the movie. When I watch it, I feel that the director is filming himself. , and then searched, and sure enough he is gay himself, sure enough, there are a lot of his personal experiences in his movies, and the screenwriter is himself, it is self-evident...

The first impact of the film is the sense of the picture. Although it is a complete autobiographical drama, it leaves a strong memory in the application of the color of the picture. The big red on the poster is very shocking to be honest. Coupled with the white wall of the childhood residence in the memory, the colors added in the sketch in the memory are all impressive. Probably, the audience's attention can be better captured in order to better capture the audience's heart...

Of course, there are many elements in the movie, some exaggerated, bizarre and even deviant plots emerge one after another, as if drugs, nudity, and crime have become the children's subjects in the movie, but the director's technique is very clever and does not make you feel the negativity of these things...even There's a little temptation...

At the end of his life, Banderas, the protagonist, experienced the torment of illness, but after a few small things, he recalled his past... The way of interspersing memories and reality is not advanced, but he has a thorough reflection on life. Mother, boyfriend, friend...Family, friendship, love...In the end, he has a summary of his life...In the end, he overcame the pain and restarted his writing and directing career...

Although it is old, the original intention has not changed...

    4.5 So calm, sad and gentle

    #72nd Cannes# The actor. I forcibly watched a version with no English characters, but it was a 7-part at most...Don't mention "Eight and a half", how can it be as profound and gorgeous as "Eight and a half". The movie should actually be called "Drugs and Memories." After taking the medicine, I only think of (and in order) the memories of my mother... Memories are also childhood memories that take up most of the space. The fineness and structure of the play is not as good as that of "Hu Liyet Tower", and the gap is even more obvious than that of "Broken Embrace" and "Bad Education" which have a relatively large historical span. Even the descriptions of aging and physical ailments, not to mention "Love", have a significant gap compared with Fellini's later works such as "Dancing Country". That is to say, the music and art are good, and the connection points between the films are done well, and the fireworks + self-referential scene at the end of the film is also very good. The look and feel is really a TV series... the actor may still be able to fight. Stop blowing...

Pain and Glory quotes

  • Salvador Mallo: Life disgusts me like a useless medicine. And it is then when I feel with clear visions how easy it would be to get away from this tedium if I had the simple strength of wanting to really push him away.

  • Federico Delgado: "Love is not enough to save the person you love." It's in your monologue.

    Salvador Mallo: Let's not talk about the monologue, it's a very sad text.
