The film "Pain and Glory" tells the life story of a film director in his later years in the framework of a simple plot. His later years are a period of his life when he is afflicted by illness, his creativity declines, and his past events are piling up. A director with great thinking ability and creativity, it is impossible not to review such a period of his own. He is almost seventy years old, and after his past has brought him to the heights he is today, he is a little immobile and seems to have lost the creativity that he values so much. Those past streams of consciousness generally flowed through his mind. Because of his illness and his own salvation, he began to take drugs, but his warm memories of the past actually had more power to help him get out of the quagmire. This film seems to me to be a combination of essay and poetry, a review and tribute to Almodóvar's life. In this way, the most important thing is to be honest about the encounters and gains and losses on the road of life. His sincerity to himself was revealed in childhood: he fell in love with his poor new home—a cave-like space, and I think the open form of his new home in his childhood was very poetic over his head. The sign of taking the usual way; he first glimpsed the male physical beauty in this cave-like home, which was the first touch of his homosexuality; at a young age, he rebelled against his mother's path arrangement for him, and decided not to become a clergyman... He What happened in his childhood home is a clue to his future. It's also interesting that he reconnects with his partner who hasn't seen each other for thirty years, and heroin acts as a bridge; the scene where he reunites with his gay man from many years ago is also very beautiful, warm and restrained, this is not poetic What? There is not only respect for others, but also respect for oneself. Especially this respect for oneself is the premise of respect for others. In our so-called ancient civilization, how many people can you see who respect themselves like this?
A person's creativity is undoubtedly limited, but when he looks back on his life, pain and glory are intertwined. This is the truest life course. It is amazing that Almodóvar has regained his creativity with only a sincere review. Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz did a pretty good job. The flowing colors in the title show the introduction of the actors is also very creative, which can be described as beautiful.
