The two themes of the story are "dream" and "face", especially the former, most of the story is actually a "dream", César freezes himself, and everything that happens after that night is actually the ideal of hope in his mind Life is not real at all, and the subsequent loss of control also stems from the conflict of emotions in his mind (I think it is a kind of guilt). The other is a dream he had at the beginning: the most prosperous street in Madrid was empty, only himself. (In the US version, this scene is set in Times Square, and the effect is even more shocking.) I don't fully understand what this dream represents. It may be a symbol of his isolated and insecure heart. And the existence of this dream is not certain. César doesn't believe in God, he only believes in what he sees, but it is precisely what he sees that is unreal, and there is an unspeakable meaning in it. It's a dream, which is the scariest part of the film. And the "face" is reflected in the disfigurement and later Sofía becomes Nuria, without the handsome face César loses almost everything, love, self-confidence, nothing, and the so-called "beautiful heart" becomes ridiculous empty words , This is a fact that we can experience in our lives. People often say that appearance is not important, but in fact? You and I know myself. And Sofía's face suddenly changed to Nuria's face, which made César feel like he was in a "nightmare", and even made him kill "New Sofía", but I think, this new Sofía is not the same except for the face changed. The girl he used to love? Inferring in turn, it is not that face that he loves, from another point of view, this Nuria is not the woman who is going to kill him, but a kind and lovely woman who loves him the way he wants, why can't he Love this Nuria? ? Come to think of it, such a ridiculous and real plot. After watching this movie, I couldn't help thinking about my own life. Another horror it brought me was the questioning of my own outlook on life and values.
Let’s talk about a few characters, I don’t like César, he brought the car accident and the pain behind him, he said he didn’t love Nuria, he didn’t know much about Nuria, he said he loved Sofía, but he didn’t know Sofía either , it's just the urge to see the photos after arriving at her house. He knew that Sofía was his friend's girlfriend, or pursued her after seeing her for the first time. No matter what, this was a very bad behavior. Disfigurement was a punishment for all his past actions. Sofía, I still don't have a deep impression of her. I can only say that she is a lovely girl. After César's disfigurement, there is nothing to blame for her behavior. Girls have so much responsibility for you. Nuria, this role is easy to shine, and Najwa Nimri is indeed an eye-catching performance. Under the coquettish appearance, there is a heart that longs to be loved, and the man who falls in love only treats her as a plaything, and does not want to know her phone number, her address, or even her The surname, she and despair and desperation are moving (DIAZ in the US version is also unexpectedly good, and the character has changed from a relatively unfamiliar girl who "only slept with the hero twice" to a The "fuck-buddy" with a longer relationship is obviously more credible). My friend Pelayo is played by my favorite Fele Martínez. He is quite handsome in it, but he has no choice but to leave a silly bowl cover... This person is open-minded and cheerful on the surface, but his heart is not simple. He is better than himself in everything. César, he can't say that he is jealous, but there must be disgust, especially after Sofía was taken away, although he did not directly accuse César, his words and deeds still showed his anger. (In the US version, this role is played by another actor I like, JASON LEE. His style in it is very informal, and the contrast with the male protagonist is more stark. The film even implies that he caused the final outbreak of DIAZ. JASON's performance Still good, it's just that the director didn't show enough about his feelings for Sofía).
