forest of desire

In 2003, I loved Almodovar's films very much, and I found most of them to watch and

remember that I watched them in the small hall where the films were placed in the south accessory store of the library, before I graduated

. On January 10, 2003, the university The winter of the fourth day, before the holiday, after doubting about life, before being drunk and dreaming of death

, at the very beginning of the movie, the scene of giving birth to a child on the bus echoes the last scene

, and that complicated day changed the fate of several people.

Then he came back, Using sex to get revenge, I really like the desire of the Spaniards to conquer their inner desires directly with

the desire of the flesh. The absurdity

of the desperado-like physical desire at war with the heart in a decaying and glamorous location,

which happened in Spain, which was free from dictatorship, almost

made me think of those magical realism novels in Latin America

. In this film, what left the deepest impression on me was the couple

, Santo and Clara

. Before his death, Santo said:

Who can hold their youth, who can hold their loved ones A woman
...the condensed years of my life, but I was approaching her,

so end they died, at each other's guns.

Desperate love, total love, like the ever-expanding tropical forest, can never stop growing, and in the end only can swallow everything
