How to make a story of dog blood interesting (spoiler)

The plot can be summed up in one sentence: the director had an affair with a rich man’s lover and fled to a foreign country, resulting in one death and one injury.

Use flashbacks. Let the blind director meet his deceased and tell the story.

1. The actress's father was seriously ill, and he became the lover of the rich man in order to heal the illness (the rich man's son)

2. The actress went to audition and met the director. The rich man was uneasy and took the actress on vacation. (Playing dead?)

3. The actress wanted to leave the rich man and was pushed down the stairs. (Lip language expert?)

4. The actress quarreled with the rich man, and ran away with the director in a foreign country. (The director's ex-girlfriend)

5. A car accident occurred. The love story ends. (The blind director)

The three protagonists, the actress is beautiful, the rich man is obsessed with the actress (lip language expert), and the director is Merry (the blind hooks up with girls?).

Several supporting roles, the director’s ex-girlfriend is jealous and angry, the rich man’s son is basically the shadow of his father (tracking and monitoring?), and Diego is the shadow of the director (posting the creative praise of the script).

To sum up, the details are unexpected and expected.

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.
