Relief and Rebirth

This is the first time I see the director's work, the story is connected by three men and two women. Male 1 mason is Almodovar's sexual enlightenment and sexual awakening, male 2 actor colleague Alberto is a combination of angel and devil, a combination of agreement and contradiction, and it is a combination of achievements and abuses attached to Almodovar people. (Contradictions in the interpretation of "Taste", the director's negative comments on the starring Alberto and the film industry's praise; he directed both white powder and addiction; he was both an enemy and a friend and finally achieved the success by performing "Addiction". The adventure of reuniting the third man Fedri and Almodovar!) Naturally, the most important man in his life also appeared on the screen and could embrace each other. The two reunited after a long absence. After Almodovar learned that he had a new female family, he couldn't help but secretly saddened himself, but he also got his male friend, and there has been no one else since him... kind of consolation? Avamodo has since been relieved of the past and reborn! As for the two women, one is Suleima, a colleague and assistant, who manages a simple life for him; the other is his mother. The contradiction between them is trivial, separated by a layer of veil, which reads "I don't understand" that his care for women cannot be meticulous, sensitive and thoughtful.

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.
