Fortunately, fortunately, I missed such a movie many years ago, otherwise I have searched for most of the classic movies N back and forth today, I basically hardly have the opportunity to enjoy such a good movie on such a quiet night. Happy again.

Based on the Argentine writer Manu El Puig’s novel of the same name, the Brazilian director Hector Altrio’s "Kiss of Spider-Woman", the title looks like a thriller. In fact, it seemed like a one-act stage play taking place in a certain cell in a prison. For a movie, if there is no change in the scene, it will be easy to be dull and boring. However, the solid script and original novel of this movie give the movie a good framework. The director makes full use of the actors’ skills in this movie. The dialogue starts the drama conflict in a small space, and the excellent performance of the actors and the plump drama meat on the frame have made an excellent work of Oscar level.
The main scene of the plot in the movie is a certain cell in the prison, and one of the two prisoners in custody dreams of a movie scene in order to pass the time. In this movie, there are also two protagonists, one male and one female. The relationship between the protagonist and the development of the plot implied the relationship between the two prisoners and their final ending. In the prisoner’s slow description of the plot of the movie, the relationship between the two prisoners gradually changed from mutual suspicion and distrust. Until the end, love each other. Every time the relationship between the two prisoners changes, there are clues in the fantasy movie, especially the wonderful dialogue between the two prisoners when they did not tell the plot of the movie, and there are many hidden things that are not for each other. The shocking details you know, after the film is over, slowly recall their dialogues at various times, you will find that many questions in the center of the movie have already been answered; in fact, the script is written so well, even if there is no hidden. These hints and many dialogues are also very intriguing.

Part of the Dialogue are summarized as follows:
Luis Molina: Happy at The Nicest Thing IS the About Feeling of Think you that you'll BE as unhappy or Never Again.
Louis • Molina: feeling happy about the most wonderful thing is that you think you will never unhappy.

At the beginning of the film, the prisoner Louis Molinner, played by William Hurt, was twitching in the prison. He described a propaganda film made by Nazi Germany in a soft and emotional tone. He was deeply moved by the fate of the heroine in the film. , But the other prisoner Valentin who was in the audience was very disapproving. The biggest role of the beginning of this paragraph is to characterize the two prisoners. The sissy Molina is full of emotions, longs for romance, and has no pursuit, while the political prisoner Valentin He is a fortitude, grumpy, and always indifferent to his girlfriend. He is a determined revolutionary; but in the process of telling this Nazi movie, a series of things happened. We can see from these things that the girly Molina is actually There is also a strong character in his character. He does not dislike his roommates covered in excrement and urine, resists the warden, and even knows that the food is poisonous but can finish it with no expression. On the surface, Valentine, the irritable and resolute revolutionary, is suffering from illness. He begged Molina to let him survive. Not only did he tell Molina that he had a bourgeois girlfriend who was incompatible with the identity of a revolutionary, but he also told Molina the important news that the torture failed to reveal. In the middle of the film, two people’s The character almost completely turned around. In Molina’s fantasy movie, the heroine who originally hated the Nazis also began to fall in love with him, and even came back to life for him, which also implies that the two prisoners at the end of the film The ending. At the end of the film, the sissy Molina sacrifices heroically as a strong revolutionary, while the revolutionary Valentin dreams of freely walking through the prison and romantically sailing on the sea with his girlfriend. In fact, if you follow the character set at the beginning of the film, the ending of the two people should be completely opposite. Throughout the development of the plot of the film, the transformation of the two people’s personality highlights the importance of the homosexual plot setting. In fact, this movie is not a true homosexual movie. The homosexual plot is just a very clever setting for the gap in personality changes. , Otherwise, the shock of the end of the film will be greatly reduced.

Judging from the editing techniques of the film, the plots of the two prisoners and the fantasy Nazi film are edited in parallel. In recent years, a similar movie is "Pan's Labyrinth", and the two are also very similar in plot layout. The stories in fantasy are entangled and related to the events in reality, and they have a common feature. Although the story in fantasy has a bizarre plot, rich makeup, and exaggerated modeling, things that happen in reality are even more complicated. Turns around, more cruel, and ending more unexpectedly.

William Hurt, who plays the sissy Molina, makes every move in the movie, like a homosexual. If you have not seen Wong Kar-wai's movies and knew that this handsome guy was regarded as a youth idol by the old lady in Wong Kar-wai's movies, I am afraid that he would really think that he is indeed gay in life. The acting is so good, it’s no wonder that the Academy Award for Best Actor (Why not a Leading Actress?) was awarded to him. What’s even more amazing is that there is a legendary actor who played the revolutionary Valentin in prison with his acting skills. In fact, acting as a homosexual is much better, but William Hurt is fortunate enough to have this role that is easier to shine, otherwise the situation of winning the award may be a big reversal.

Fortunately, I missed this movie many years ago. After many years, I may think of it. Fortunately, on that boring night I chose the classic that I had missed.
