this is a movie that cannot be spoiled. In order to avoid spoilers, I will only say one word: Pipi, Pipi, comparable to fatigue. Comparable to the ruffian, comparable to that of the pi, and to split the ruffian.
Almodovar was bold and casual this time, telling such a bizarre and fantastic story, but as Hitchcock once said, It is only a movie, dear. This is just a movie, dear.
Compared with Almodovar's previous works, this film has a stronger style. The first part of the soundtrack is mostly a violin and piano concert. Accompanying the plot, the strings are flaring and the silver bottle is bursting at times of tension. There is a sense of tension on the strings. There is a section of the main soundtrack that is electronically psychedelic, with highs and lows full of suspense. It can be said that the amount of use of the soundtrack is large and accurate, which has well promoted the plot and the audience's emotions.
The film uses a lot of body language expression. The protagonist’s tights give people a very surreal feeling. At the beginning of the scene, the heroine wears tights to practice yoga on the sofa. The curvature of the body seems to constitute a symbolic sign, indicating the movie. Bizarre and surreal. The image setting of the tiger man who appeared afterwards made people feel weird and bizarre, and the dress was inexplicable but novel. A large number of human body paintings, human body molds and actors' nudes all give people a strong sensory stimulation, and the use of colors is also biased towards warm colors, in line with Almodovar's consistent sensory emotional rendering. Just so edified, the audience inexplicably followed the director Almodovar into this somewhat abnormal world.
However, the most wonderful thing about the movie is not the creation of such a wonderful style, but its narrative technique. Originally this was a very bizarre story, but the director disrupted the narrative structure, interrupted narrative, flashbacks and supplementary narratives. The mystery was quietly hidden and buried in the succession and transformation of each narrative stage, which should be a smooth phased narrative. After the end, the revelation of the puzzle and the sudden turn of the plot made people surprised and excited.
One of the most important reasons why Almodovar is called a master is his keen capture of human nature. Known as the director who knows women best, his "Speaking to Her" shows the charm of women. Almodovar once said, "I prefer to write stories about women. Borrow an unwritten rule in the industry to say: I think women can provide me with comedy material, and men can only let me write tragedies." La piel que habito is undoubtedly a tragedy. Men are unable to restrain power, possession, lust, and revenge. Therefore, these emotions presented in the film are more exaggerated and strong. The male characters in the film are dominated by these emotions, so the tragedy cannot finally appear. avoid. Almodovar captures these emotions well, not only that, but he also used the twist of the plot to magnify some evil thoughts in people's hearts. When the distorted truth appears, the audience will more or less produce an inexplicable joy from the bottom of their hearts. , Perhaps, this is human nature.
Although Banderas did not deliberately sell handsome this time, there are still two sex scenes, the scale is really negligible compared to the original sin of the year. However, the erotic scenes this time serve the emotions of the characters, and the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are also brought into play with the help of the script. The degree of excitement is remarkable.
Almodovar’s new work did not disappoint. Although the story is so bizarre, life is inherently more mysterious than the movie. What's more, this is just a movie, dear.
Four and a half stars.
PS: The last question is for everyone, if you are a party and the matter is over, have you never followed or failed?
