Long-lost Arabic comedy

On the evening of March 13, 2013, I walked with excitement on the way to the Van Gogh Cinema. There were two reasons for the excitement, but in the final analysis there was only one: Almodóvar!
I have always liked Almodóvar’s movies, especially his later works, so for me, I am very happy to see the original Arabic movies in Spain; since the last comedy of Ador, mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios "Woman on the verge of breakdown" (1988) (in fact, I still don’t quite accept this as a comedy) 25 years have passed, during which Almodovar created the most Two brilliant works todo sobre mi madre "Everything about my mother" and volver "Return" (actually I also like hable con ella "Speak to her", but this work is not as good as the other two in Spain Sensation), and now I get involved in comedy again, which makes me look forward to it.
Almodovar likes to find actors he knows to star in his own works, and this time is no exception, starring Cecilia Roth, Javier Cámara, Javier Camara, and Lola Dueñas. And Antonio de la Torre and Antonio de La Torre have worked with him before. Among them, Cecilia Ross has appeared in Almodovar’s first commercial film Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras since 1980. In chicas del montón's "Biography of a Fierce Woman", he has since appeared in his last three works in succession, laberinto de pasiones "The Labyrinth of Passion" (1982), entre tinieblas "Darkness" (1983) and ¿? Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto! "Why should I be so fate?" ! "(1984), although she experienced a short "disappearance" midway, in 1999, she played the leading role in Almodovar's peak masterpiece "All About My Mother" (1999). The performance is still talked about by movie fans today; Javier Kamala starred in his 2002 work "Speak to Her". Those who like Almodovar’s films will surely remember that he was weak and weak in this work. A tough performance. Later, he also starred in A Director’s 2004 work la mala educación "Bad Education." A masterpiece "Return" and the 2009 work los abrazos rotos "Broken Embraces", but her other work is also worth mentioning, that is Spanish director Alejandro Amenábar and Alexander Amenábar's mar adentro "The Deep Sea" "Long Sleep"; Antonio de La Torre has the least collaboration with him, only starring in his 2006 "Return", but he has appeared in many Spanish masterpieces in recent years, such as azul oscuro casi negro "dark blue is black" And last year's hot grupo 7 "Group Seven". For fans who like Spanish movies, Guillermo Toledo, one of the main supporting roles, must not be unfamiliar. He once starred in an unforgettable work el otro lado de la cama in the history of Spanish cinema. Bed, bed on the right.
In addition, the actors who play soy sauce in this movie also have their own backgrounds. Let's talk about the actors and actresses Antonio Banderas, Antonio Banderas, and Penélope Cruz, and Penélope Cruz. Antonio Banderas, like Cecilia Ross, is one of the actors who have devoted himself to creating and starring in his creation since the beginning of his career. He has starred in "The Labyrinth of Passion" (1982) and matador. Matador (1986), la ley del deseo "Law of Desire" (1987), "A Woman on the Brink of Mental Breakdown" (1988), átame "Bind Me!" "(1990) and la piel que habito "The Skin of My Habitat" (2011); on cooperation, Penelope Cruz is not as senior as Banderas, but every work she collaborates with Ador is " Resounding", Carne trémula, "Living Beauty" (1997), "Everything About My Mother" (1999), "Return" (2006) and "Broken Embrace" (2009). Both of them are among the best in Hollywood by virtue of their cooperation with Almodovar, but even so, the two actors who are so beloved by Ah Dao never appeared together in the same work of Almodovar (originally The last "Skin of My Living" was okay, but because Penelope had a baby, I was forced to give up), but this time, Ador has realized his "dream" and everyone's " desire". When it comes to the name Paz Vega Paz Beka, everyone may not be unfamiliar, because she has played the protagonist in Lucía y el sexo's "Lucia's Lover" and "Left Bed, Right Bed", but talked about her relationship with Ador Cooperation, everyone may not think so easily. In 2002, Paz Becca participated in Ah Dao's "Speak to Her", but he did not play an important role in this film, but the famous in-film el amante menguante "Shrinking Lover" Heroine. Carmen Machi Carmen Machi and Blanca Suárez Blanca Suárez has a relatively shallow collaboration experience with Ador. The former participated in "Speak to Her" and "Broken Embraces"; the latter was until the last one. "The Skin of My Living" only cooperated with Almodovar.
Because of this, every time I watch Almodóvar’s movies, it’s like enjoying a movie feast in the Spanish film world. National treasure-level directors and actors, as well as the most "top" soundtrack, editing, decoration and costume design in Spain. The great vision brought together.
Back to this los amantes pasajeros "Flight Attendant Lover". I have seen an interview with Almodovar before. In the interview, he said that he needs to return to comedy. It is not as simple as making a comedy, but he needs to make a comedy to entertain himself and others (I don’t know. Why I suddenly think of Zhang Yimou and "Three Shots"), and fans also expected him to film a comedy again, so "Flight Attendant Lover" was born. In order to let everyone in China not lose more interest when watching this film, I will not talk about more plot content here, and pay more attention to some "miscellaneous". The color at the beginning of the film established the relaxed and humorous tone of the film. After watching it, I can’t help but admire the master’s skills. This is a very simple comedy, which is similar to the previous "Woman on the Verge of Breakdown" and "Kika". The difference is that although the main theme of the two films is also comedy, there are many dramatic elements in the plot, which makes the film still have a "heavy" color in addition to the humor. "Flight Attendant Lover" is different. In summary, this movie is very gay, very cheap, and belongs to a typical R-rated comedy. Although in the process of shaking the burden, I occasionally throw a little warmth and small touch, but it stopped abruptly, and soon returned to the general tone of "indecent". The process of watching can be described in four words. Belly laugh! In addition, after entering the theater, it turns out that the majority of movie fans who like Ah Dao's movies are still women, and among the vast majority, middle-aged and elderly women are the majority. Anyway...
Maybe Almodovar really only planned to create a comedy simply this time, but I was still moved by his talent again.
