One afternoon more than a month ago, I was bored and suddenly thought of watching a movie. For the movie, I opened the most familiar movie theater Renoir website and saw Julieta's film schedule. It was 2.9 euros, and it was just over 3 o'clock plus tax, so I quickly selected a seat online (there were still many vacancies) and bought a ticket and waited until more than 8 o'clock. walk over. Unexpectedly, the whole hall was full of people. As usual, this movie theater is still mostly middle-aged and elderly people (maybe young people prefer Hollywood type action movies or simply stay at home) and these people are also acting in the ending song. There will be no fuss about leaving the table until the staff list is finished. Compared with the young people in this country, these old people may be more conservative but in fact they are more in line with the "stereotype" we have always had of middle-class old Europe, more educated, and a comfortable sense of distance between people, yes, Even in Spain, which is said to be warm and open in folklore. In a "big" city like Madrid, yes, maybe you will encounter a "corner meets love" affair (but your heart is full of doubt and distrust), meet an old friend you haven't seen for many years in a certain bar (you know Knowing that after a few glasses of wine, they are separated again), just like any city in the world, but most of the time every individual in the city is lonely, and the sense of alienation lingers. When the most solid bond of the group, blood, cannot be attached, the fear and helplessness, the desperate desire for another soul to share life with myself is the personal experience of every person living in the city and the elderly Julieta.
The story is typical of Almodovar! What could be more obvious than Almodovar's theme, and more blatant to put a big-character poster on the foreheads of all Almodovar girls - men are scourges! It's a scourge to be handsome! If you are not handsome is not a scourge, the academic old man on the other side of the Atlantic will give you two golden statues! Perhaps "Speak to Her" is Almodóvar's most highly rated and most delicately crafted work, but it is not my favorite, because women are aphasia in movies, and they actually degenerate into "watched and appreciated". status, and ethically minimize the risk. If "Tell Her" is a round pearl, then "Tie Me, Tie Me" in Stockholm Syndrome or "Bad Education", which is full of people's calculations and religious expressions, are rough gems, from which you can get a glimpse of the author's intense passion. Emotions and careful play with humanity under the undercurrent. And all of that is missing in Julieta, yes, the story just barely makes sense, but it's just a very middle-of-the-road family story.
It continues Almodovar's control of color and good aesthetics. Even if there are "popular elements" in the 1980s that scourged the world in the last century and blinded dogs, they are not disgusting in the film. The storyline of Ben Deer and memories creates a fairy tale-like mood, which is evident from the highly saturated red and yellow colors on the poster, as well as the dramatic composition. And the role of "father" is as unflattering as ever, the speechless "father" in "All About My Mother", the father who never showed his face and harmed the whole family in "Return", the handsome man forced Banderas in "Wuqi" The image of the Avengers in "Skin" is not a positive character. In this film, the heroine's father left the sick heroine's mother aside and lived a happy life with the babysitter. There are also a lot of roles for the male protagonist, and there is an iconic tattoo. I thought it would be a character with a little more connotation, but after watching the whole film, I only remember her when he defended "Follamos tal vez en cuando" for cheating. Wife is going to break down and he's as relaxed as saying "I just did what most men do" and while we (he and lover) have a blast every now and then, I still love you the most. . Yes, after his death, he still harmed all the women around him as always. His wife and lover had been burdened with guilt and could not let go. The daughter who had a deep Electra complex endured the humiliation and took care of her mother who almost had a mental breakdown and could not take care of herself. The motive for taking care of her was actually revenge! Yes, just take care of you like this, and live with you, make you think that we are mother and daughter connected by blood, and then I will leave, without taking a cloud, Adiós ~ will not let you find me ~ Why? Because my handsome man forced my dad to cheat, but because you quarreled with him, he died in the rowing game and ended up in game over. As a result, you told me that he died at sea, the little three is a chicken, and you are also a bitch! If it weren't for your shit, I'd still be fishing with my dad. .
Yes, the role of a daughter is such a middle school, as if her EQ completely abandoned her when her father died, and such a low EQ guy is still a movie queen! Before she left her mother, she was able to act like a 24-year-old filial piety model from a young age to 18 years old. Even her mother thought she had at least one best friend to talk to when she was a child, but it turned out that it was all acting skills. . . With such a scheming daughter on the stall, no wonder the elderly Julieta is always confused.
The most memorable scene is when young Julieta took her daughter to visit her mother. Three generations of mother and daughter lived together in the same room. The mother who had been sick for many years woke up and recognized her daughter. It should be the first and last time to see her little granddaughter. Almodovar's films have always emphasized the bond between mother and daughter or mother and son, but most of the time in this film I only see how a philanderer tortures her mother.
I thought that such a relatively bland story at least had a leopard tail, but I underestimated Almodovar's "warmth" again, yes, the daughter died of her own son and wanted to reconcile with her mother (I got a big Fuck, I really want to sing "You were going to separate...) Of course, a mother's love for her daughter is unconditional. In the end, Julieta and her boyfriend drove to find her daughter. It was also the last driving scene. I still remember " The last three people in "Tie Me, Tie Me" have their own thoughts and intriguing expressions in the car, and here only the family is left to drive to the other side of happiness. In terms of video style, Almodovar is still Almodovar , but not as sharp as before. The
Almodovar girl has always been talked about, and even the 59th Cannes gave every actress in "Return" a Palme d'Or. But there is no one in this play. Outstanding female characters, of course, the main responsibility of the script. In addition, as a Spanish national director, Almodóvar is going to film, and he will definitely respond. Almodóvar's queen actress, Rossy de Palma, who is well-known for her big nose, continues to laugh. Take charge, you can see the popular fried chicken among young Spanish actors. The heroine has starred in "The Stitch of Time", a rare Western drama with high quality and high ratings in recent years. In addition, the historical drama "Isabel" by the National Radio and Television Station The queen also came to make a cameo appearance. But the performances of all the young actors failed to give people the impression of "acting skills", especially the female lead, the young Julieta, actually can't say that her performance is Muna, But as far as the big screen is concerned, it still owes a lot of time. In the
end, I still want to give four stars. Feelings... By
the way, the movie theater I went to was the movie theater where Julieta and her boyfriend lined up on a date. When this scene flashed, everyone They all laughed knowingly, haha. But it should have taken a while to shoot, because I saw that there was "A Farewell" in the filming at that time. Of course, except for the filming, the cinema itself is almost the same as it is now, this is fucking Spain.
