[Foreword]
If you are empty, how can you love others? If you can't love yourself well, how can you love others well? If you take love as a weapon to hurt you, and don't hesitate to fight for a long time without the smoke of gunpowder, you can only end up scarring yourself. If you take love as a kind of kidnapping and ask for it, always focus only on your own needs, and ignore the feelings of the loved one, insist on the love and care you want, and hate if you don’t get it, you are asking for hardship. A person who doesn't know how to love, even if he thinks he loves how strong and how humble, is a moth to the flames regardless of himself. [look and feel]
Almodovar's films are all very colorful, emotional, and storytelling, and [Love High Heels] is no exception. The film is about human nature, human emotions, and the family relationship between mother and daughter. In fact, it is not that you know how to be a mother when you give birth to a child, and that you are not born to know how to love. Some tragedies are doomed from the beginning. Perhaps, a little more kindly tolerance and trying to understand will make the relationship between people better. In the movie, the daughter Rebecca has longed for her mother's love since she was a child. Her parents divorced, she is like a person who falls into the water and wants to hold on to the only floating board around her. It's a pity that my mother doesn't want to be that floating board. Maybe in her eyes, the art career is the floating board of her life, and her daughter is just a burden. And Rebecca used her child's hand to help her mother get rid of the bondage of marriage, but she has since lost her mother. Rebecca wanted to be with her mother, but she didn't expect her mother to choose a career and leave her behind. However, the movie simply skips the stage of Rebecca growing up alone, so there is no way to know what kind of hurt and disappointment, pain and struggle she has experienced again and again, which makes her unable to let go even if she is an adult. The huge psychological shadow caused by her mother. Under this huge psychological shadow, her self-awareness is weak, and she has not established a perfect self-personality as she grows older. She loved so humble, so trembling, so cautious. People, if the wounds you have suffered are not repaired by themselves, they will follow them for a lifetime without knowing it. Her feelings for her mother are complex, including looking up to worship, humble love, resentment, and jealousy. As an adult, she was so restrained and uncomfortable in front of her mother that she even felt that her mother should watch her news broadcasts when she came back, so that she couldn't work according to the original broadcast level, and the result was a mess. Her mother's elegance was peerless, and her talent was completely crushed and crushed her heart. In front of her mother, she felt a little embarrassed and uneasy, and a little bit eccentric. This may be an inevitable relationship between successful and excellent parents and children with mediocre qualifications. If the parents do not deal with the children well when they are young, and they do not have proper repairs and remedies in the process of growing up, the parents' intentional or unintentional strong crushing will cause harm and shadows to the children from childhood to adulthood. It is unimaginable and devastating. of. It is not a mother to have a child, and Rebecca's mother can be said to be not a competent mother. She is selfish and narcissistic. She aspires to be an artist that everyone loves and attracts attention. The value of her life only wants to be realized under the spotlight. Humans, it is not natural to know how to Love. This love includes loving yourself as well as loving others. Obviously, Rebecca's mother knew how to love herself, but she didn't know how to love others, including her own daughter. And Rebecca not only doesn't know how to love herself, but she also doesn't know how to love others in the proper way. For the emotional entanglement between mother and daughter, both parties have responsibilities, and the responsibility of the mother is more. In the end, the reconciliation between mother and daughter should have come earlier. It was not through such a change that prompted the two to open their hearts, let go of their grievances, and truly face each other's hearts. It is a pity that such an ending arranged in the movie is already a rare beauty in reality. In fact, some are sorry and never had a chance to say it. Some guilt can never be forgiven and freed. No one can know behind a murder case, how much love and hatred are intertwined in the mother and daughter's emotional entanglement over the years, and the multi-angle and complex relationship between the sexes. There is a judge (translator) in the film. His identity is a bit unexpected. Setting up such a character who enjoys multiple lives makes the story go out of the expected routine. His role in the emotional entanglement between mother and daughter is driving, and ultimately facilitates a frank dialogue between mother and daughter. He is the only person in the film who notices the charm of Rebecca, is attracted to her, and falls in love with her. Maybe, Rebecca really needs such a person, someone who understands her, someone who really loves her. But, who knows if this judge is her real son? All love and being loved requires a person to have a sound personality, and Rebecca needs to find herself, understand herself, accept herself, and love herself well. The ending of the story is open, and we have no way of knowing how Rebecca's life will go after that. Are you still at a loss, living in a daze, not understanding love and being loved? Or after experiencing the changes in the world, I finally realized that I need to pay attention to myself, my true self, and become what I want to be in the rest of my life. It's not what my mother looks like, it's not what my mother looks like, it's not what my mother expects, it's me, it's my real appearance. The ending of the movie, for me, was a bit sudden. Why is the judge a transvestite and why does he have a soft spot for Rebecca? Sometimes the twists in the story are too abrupt and curious. Perhaps the judge's transvestite was influenced by his mother. Because his mother is keen to collect star information, maybe his mother used to like Rebecca's mother, who is a well-known singer. And the judge, who also wanted to be cared for by his mother since he was a child, hopes to be Rebecca's mother, thinking that he can get his mother to pay attention to himself and love himself like those stars, at least he once thought so. So, he understands that Rebecca is right Her mother's emotions, lack of maternal love, they share the same disease, he understands her pain. Rebecca in the movie doesn't make people feel like a heinous villain. However, she really killed two people (stepfather and husband) indirectly and directly for her sudden thoughts one after another. As a child, she did evil naturally, calm and calm. Perhaps, in her young heart, she felt that she was saving her troubled mother. So, she is calm. Even when she grew up, she couldn't feel the guilt for what she had done. She just felt resentment, she did all this and failed to get her mother to fulfill her promise and be with her from now on. And when she was an adult, she shot and killed her husband, and she suddenly realized that it was she who killed her husband, from start to finish. With a guilty heart, she frankly confessed her sins while broadcasting the news. The movie is about the reunion of mother and daughter at the airport, flashbacks of Rebecca’s childhood memories, and the family meeting. A few brief foreplays set the stage. After briefly explaining the main story line, it jumps directly to the murder. I didn't show Rebecca's psychological shock and emotional changes after her mother came back and her mother secretly reunited with her husband. Rebecca's husband had been wanting a divorce, and before Rebecca's mother came back, their relationship was dead in name only. Her husband insisted on divorce, but she always disagreed. She didn't want to admit her failure, and she didn't want to face the fact that she was inferior to her mother. She wanted to win her mother's ex-boyfriend to marry her mother's ex-boyfriend, in order to avenge her mother, in order to comfort her wounded heart. But her way of competing with her mother is childish, boring, and meaningless. She knows the root of all mistakes, but the movie doesn't face it and tell it more. As for the depth of her knowledge, there is no way to know. Of course, a straightforward analysis may not be what the director wants to express, and it's better to stop there. Even whether Rebecca was convicted in the end left an open space for speculation. [postscript] Suddenly realized that she was the one who killed her husband, from start to finish.
