There is a problem with the translation... Some people don't understand it compared to other almodovar, but it is actually a little easier to understand. . .

I love Almodovar's way of telling stories that keeps layers open and suspenseful. It always grabs your heart and feels very mysterious and affectionate. The color and rhythm are very comfortable. Every frame and every scene is a work of art. When I watch it, I always sigh. This director is one of the only superb directors in the world. The play in the play pays tribute to myself "The Woman on the Edge of Breakdown", and I almost burst into tears when I watched it. Penelope Cruz is really the muse of Almodovar, shining on the screen, he can act like this, a star.

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.

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.
