Almodovar's films are full of desire and gorgeous colors, as well as the warm friendship of women. It is estimated that he understands women better than women and should not be opposed by many people.
When these unique two are combined, what kind of chemical reaction will be produced, "Julietta" is the best proof. Although the story originates from Monroe and hides the vastness and coldness of Canada, in Almodovar's film, Madrid has become the center of life, and love and hatred are ended here.
Hitchcock is one of Almodóvar's three favorite directors, so it's normal for Julieta to be suspenseful. We follow the elderly Julieta to find out how she became who she is now, everything is accidental, but fate. Meet a strange man while traveling and marry him. After giving birth to the child, he took the baby back to his parents' home and found that the parents were emotionally broken. After the child grew up, the husband died unexpectedly. She and her daughter left sadly. The daughter left her. She is looking for her daughter...
The theme of this film is still Almodóvar's always good at explaining the emotions and destiny of women.
When Julieta focused on mermaids in class, she was full of yearning for the future life, journey, adventure, and unknowable. Aventure on the train, death passing by, excitement and adventure, Julieta started her own journey after receiving the letter, fearless. She has a strong thirst for emotion, and her occasional passion makes her explore, even if the road ahead is thorny.
When she stayed, she already knew the character of a fishing man. So what, at this moment, just indulge. She is pregnant. This is her choice.
After losing her husband, she was too sad, and she seemed to have no value because her father abandoned her mother and her husband abandoned her. Everything seemed to be her fault. She was unable to extricate herself from the abyss of sorrow.
Bea's mother is an angel, making room for Julieta to heal her wounds. Andia seems to have grown up just as well. Even Ava was warm and helpful. The unconditional mutual help between women is the consistent theme of Almodovar's films, which is why many people call him a feminist film director.
The unspeakable secret between Bea and Andia was finally revealed by Bea. Inseparable, intimate, avoiding entanglement, deliberately staying away, like strangers. The film has many details here, leaving a lot of space for the viewer to imagine.
Julieta married far away, her father fell in love with the babysitter, and finally she had a younger brother. She was so disappointed with her father that she never returned home. Another disappointment with men was that after knowing that there was always someone outside her husband, the male world almost collapsed in his eyes. So she has been immersed in black melancholy, can no longer be happy, and blame herself. All because of herself, strangers die on trains, husbands die, daughters leave her. It wasn't until Lorenzo appeared that her trust in the male world was rebuilt.
The film focuses on the melancholy Julieta, who was depressed for several years at first because of the excessive sadness of the loss of her father. When her daughter left her, she experienced loss again and continued to sin. Life was dark until she wanted to face her true self. From the moment she started writing to Andia to tell her daughter the ins and outs, the healing had already started, and she embarked on a journey to find herself.
Although emotionally dependent, Julieta is not a person without a sense of independence, and the major she chose is enough to prove it. She has been preparing to teach as the children grow up. After that, I found a proofreading job and became self-reliant.
She also chooses her own feelings for herself. No matter what the outcome is, she will bear it by herself, whether she can bear it or not.
The use of color in the film is consistent Almodovar style, and the interior wallpaper is too obvious. The red at the beginning of the movie, which swayed for several seconds, set the tone for the whole movie: danger, passion, enthusiasm, adventure, madness. The red is like blood, the red is like fire, and the red is as powerful as life. Then there's yellow, bright, warm, the heroine's hair color, the wall and wallpaper color, it's all there. There is also blue, the color of the sweater on the heroine's youth when she was young, the color of the sea, imaginative, tolerant, free, and quiet.
When I watched the movie, I remembered, oh, this is indeed the story of Monroe, the story of several different women, the story of a mother and daughter being kneaded by Almodovar's wonderful hands, Almodovar's color and film, women's emotions And fate, with a touch of sadness, but with a warm and bright background.
