Those things outside of the movie

There are two things that attracted me to watch this movie:
1. At that time, the film selected two rare Chinese classics "Farewell My Concubine" and "Diet Men and Women" with a super dark horse attitude, and won the Oscar for the best foreign language film.
2 Almodovar ( The female protagonist of my favorite director, Penelope Cruz, was a girly masterpiece ("All About My Mother" in which this woman starred was also awarded by the foreign language film "The Golden Man"). After
watching the movie, I also had two feelings:
1 The judges who chose this film as the best foreign language film that year were blinded, and the reason was nothing more than envious of the protagonist’s affair that “has slept in a family of four sisters”. The heavenly life in Spain shown in the film (it turns out that there is no need to close the windows for make love, and everyone is keen on polyandry and polygamy), which makes people question its authenticity. In contrast, "Farewell My Concubine", which can be included in the historical heritage, and Ang Lee's classic work "Diet Men and Women", lost to the "Four Thousand Golds" who kept glaring at the lascivious judges.
2 In addition to Penelope, I also accidentally discovered several familiar faces
. The actor who played the father of Sister Rosa (Penelope Cruz) in Alzheimer’s in "Everything About My Mother" played the four daughters in this film. Her father (still Penelope’s father, they really have a father-daughter relationship)
Almodovar's queen actress and "professional old lady" Chas Lamprefer played her best thirteen The role of the mother of the dot, her son wants to marry three daughters, the old lady has a lot of scenes, and every time she plays, she is still so funny
