"I began to understand my body through pain and disease. The first thirty years of my life were not completely unhinged, but I soon discovered that my mind had something in it, besides being a source of pleasure and knowledge. , also contains countless possibilities of suffering. Soon I saw insomnia, chronic pharyngitis, otitis, gastroesophageal reflux, peptic ulcers and endogenous asthma. The nerves throughout the body are generally painful, especially the sciatic nerve, and Had all kinds of muscle pain: low back pain, back pain, tendonitis, knee pain and shoulder pain. It was tinnitus, and I got it. It was stridor, or rales, and I got it too. In addition to tinnitus and stridor , I also specialize in all kinds of headaches, migraines, tension or cluster headaches, and back pain. That lumbar fusion left me with most of my back My life revolves around this spine. I sensed every vertebra, and the number of muscles and ligaments that make up the myth of our bodily organs, and I also discovered that our only connection is that of man and the Greek gods through sacrifice. But not everything is corporeal and pictorial, and I also suffer abstract punishments—pain of the soul, like fear and anxiety, which add to the boredom of my life And panic. Naturally, since many years ago, there have been alternating episodes of depression, nights with multiple ailments, I believe in God, I pray to him, and there is only one ailment. I am an atheist."

    It's "Law of Desire" and "Bad Education" (you can understand the connection between the three after you read the plot), but obviously the past two are full of wildness of mature people, but this one carries the vicissitudes and sadness of the old age. The protagonist was in a predicament in his creation, and his body was full of pain. Many people contacted Almodovar's advanced age, so I was crying. Pain and glory, different time and space interspersed, reality and fiction are intertwined, with advanced narrative structure and master scheduling, still telling the story of film creators. The creator is precisely the most sensitive person in the world. The relationship between him and the world, and self, and creation, and desire and love, and the past and memory, is it not something you and I face together? It's just that Almodovar's share is a hundred times richer than ours. He is really discerning in choosing young actors.

    At 7 points, Almodovar looked back at his memory. Childhood, motherhood, and love for movies. Even Banderas's hairstyle is very Almodovar. The whole film is very gentle, and when people reach old age, their memories become warm.
