There is such a kind of confusion in all human emotions, passing by a stranger on the street. Poets

may experience more, this kind of confusion burns in their hearts, crystallizes in their

pen , and has been hoarded infinitely for

thousands of years. A Roman Girl', another sonnet by Baudelaire 'To a Passing Woman',

Louis Aragon's 'The Unknown Woman of Spring', Ongaretti's 'Nostalgia' or Dai Wangshu

's 'Rain Lane' - It's not that the beauty of a strange woman has such magic power,

but that we see the accident of fate from her back. She appears, she disappears at once

, like the fateful,

helpless, incomprehensible darkness of Baudelaire's line "a flash of lightning—and then darkness," which one receives as though it came from inevitable.


In his film 'Tie Me, Tie Me', the Spaniard Almodovar tried to clear me of this pessimistic knowledge with a

rope , and he let the rope slowly tie the accidental-

The body of a beautiful woman. The film's CD jacket has a synopsis:

Vic entered an orphanage at the age of three, and today he is finally about to step into society, and the first thing he is eager to do

is to show his love to the sexy star Marilyn. With no flowers, no chocolate, he just

kidnapped her with ropes and took the beauty's heart.


The male protagonist gives the audience the impression of a strong and lively mentally

incompetent , but when he walks out of the claustrophobic world, how

clear and definite his footsteps in this world are, he directly Walked up to the woman of his dreams, stopped her, talked to her (

note that poets or we are often just watching her), stalking her (while poetry

People are already on their way back to their homes and composing the first line of that poem),

and kidnap her (just when we are in our deepest loneliness and confusion). Buying drugs on the black market for her

(perhaps we're already with our wives. girlfriends, we recoil in

a warm and well-deserved corner, secretly getting rid of that phantom

woman we've met in our minds), confuse ourselves Still can't get her heart (which would have been absurd, as

we might have thought when we saw this); the plot continued to move forward, with a strange

logic , and slowly, began to have feelings for us He was shocked, when the woman's hand finally reached his

forehead, a miracle began to appear, not a miracle, but a fantasy began to become a reality, not a

fantasy , but in his heart it was a reality, he was 100% 100% reality made by love.

A rope, love born in a violent way (no sadistic and

masochistic fulfillment here), a poem of action. The rope showed its

tenacity on the abyss, as if it had only one end, either love or hate. The one who was finally loved seems to

be born only in the madness of Spain, like a bullfighter whose red cloth in his hand stirs up the

hatred and hatred of the heroine, who manages to wear her down, he fills With a strong will to

deal , he longed for her peace, he liberated himself as well as her... In all this

, Almodóvar proposes to us a kind of rope that itself is like a rope Narrow and deformed

way , it is able to grab from the abyss of chance to necessity, perhaps we can call it a bloody

fairy tale, a surreal allegory, especially when Marilyn is worried that she will escape and asks Vic

to come again. When tying her once, the fragility of love is explained and forgiven, and the good passion is like a tide

around the loneliness of man.
