Because "Pain and Glory" made me fall in love with the director Pedro Almodovar, who is known as the director's semi-autobiographical homosexual trilogy "Law of Desire", "Bad Education", "Pain and Glory" It is definitely a must-see.

It should not be difficult to find that the film involves transgender, incest, homosexuality, and male nude self-professional scenes after reading the above synopsis. The director wants to pass These exaggerated and joking descriptions of sex and violent crime challenge traditional moral concepts.

Similarly, I did not read the introduction before watching the movie. I ignored the style of "Bad Education". It was a wrong angle to watch "Law of Desire" while obsessed with "Pain and Glory".
