Well, Almodovar

I heard the name of this great director a long time ago, but I haven't watched his films much.

The whole movie looks very smooth. The transition of narrative lines and perspectives, including the restoration of the entire incident, went smoothly.

The heroine is really pretty flattering. I may not be able to talk about it enough and it is difficult to outline it, but the growth and transformation of the heroine, including the unfinished and re-editing of the final film, is actually the continuation of the love between the two of them.

The two relatively junior male characters in this movie are quite interesting. They should have a certain meaning, but I still can’t interpret it. I’m so weak.

The heroine is really beautiful,?

Broken Embraces quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Modelo: What's your name?

    Mateo Blanco: Harry Caine.

    [voiceover]

    Mateo Blanco: I used to be called Mateo and I was a film director. I was always tempted by the idea of being someone else, as well as myself. Living one's life wasn't enough, so I invented a pseudonym, Harry Caine, an adventurer who, as fate would have it, became a writer. I had him sign all the scripts and stories I wrote. For years, Mateo Blanco and Harry Caine shared the same body, mine. But a moment came when suddenly I could only be Harry Caine. I became my pseudonym. A self-made writer made by himself. There was just one unforseen detail. Harry Caine would be a blind writer.

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Ray X: That's what we've got re-edited.

    Mateo Blanco: Do you think it's worth carrying on, or is it crazy?

    Diego: What? I pissed myself laughing. I'm dying to see what happens.

    Judit García: It's wonderful, Mateo!

    Diego: It's hilarious. You have to re-release it.

    Mateo Blanco: No, what matters is to finish it. Films have to be finished, even if you do it blindly.
