Raising crows

First of all, the heroine Anna is very impressive, with big eyes and black hair, innocent eyes and elegant temperament. And Carlos Saura’s film is about such a cute and smart girl who witnessed her mother’s depression and sickness and death, her father’s sudden death while dating her lover, her aunt’s affair with her father’s married comrades, and all kinds of things in the adult world. Under the ugly behavior, if you gradually turn away from the good nature and wait for the opportunity to kill grandma and aunt, you will become a hopeless and evil generation. The film uses multiple flashbacks and surreal methods to recall the lives of Anna and her deceased mother and father. When Anna is gradually reduced to hatred by the environment and intends to kill, the number of dead mothers is less and less or even no longer appearing in her imagination. In time and space, when Anna hummed the popular song over and over again and cursed the death of others over and over again, a once kind and innocent child was raised as a "crow". This metaphor alludes to the fact that it has gone deep in the seemingly peaceful environment. The bone marrow's society is ugly.

Ana: The only thing I remember very clearly, is that at the time, I was convinced my father was responsible for all the sadness that embittered the last years of my mother's life. I was convinced that it was he and he alone that had caused her illness and death.

Rosa: Your poor mother wanted to breastfeed you, but she was too pale and delicate. So I was the one who really nursed you.
Ana: Did you breastfeed me?
Rosa: Heavens, no. I gave you a bottle.
Ana: You've got big breasts. Will you show me?
Rosa: What do you think this is, a circus?
Ana: Come on, show me! I'll close my eyes and count to five... Oh! They're so big!
