Under the leadership of the military government, the whole movie is actually a smoke bomb. Everything is for one sentence: I hope you die. The eyes are like the blur after coitus, the spirit is empty, listening to the music-the long sage time.
His mother died of cancer, and his father died of adultery and intercourse. But the shadows persist, and the children are always told stories in their minds. Just like Bergman's Finney and Alexander. The children are too familiar with their parents' way of getting along. The military uniform that my father wore was a representative of the military government, and so was the chaos of life.
Amelia, who caused the death of "Dad", was Nicholas’s wife. Nicholas and Anselmo were long-term comrades-in-arms. Later, it was mentioned that the two had served in the División Azul (División Azul). Volunteer to fight alongside the Nazis in World War II.
Full of Bunuelian irony. The three children have one set in front of them and another set behind their backs, dancing and having fun after their aunt is gone. Anna added what she thought was poison to her aunt's milk glass, and went to check whether she was dead. We played hide-and-seek when we were children, and we were indeed pretending to be dead. Here we have to read a scripture to bring them back to life, which is really religious.
Raising crows? The title of the movie comes from a Spanish proverb: "Raise crows and they will dig out your eyes" ("Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos"). Francisco Franco was dying at the time of the shoot, so you know who that dad represents. The audience understood that the truth in Spain is the two-sided life.

Porqu Te Vas? (Jeanette)
Hoy en mi ventana brilla el sol
The sun is shining in front of my window today
Y el corazon Se pone triste
My heart becomes sad
Contemplando la ciudad
Watching the city
Porque te vas
Why did you leave
Como cada noche desperte
Wake up from dream every night
Pensando en ti thinking of you
Y en mi reloj todas las horas vi pasar
Watching the passing of time in my clock
