Antonio Banderas kidnapped someone in Almodovar's film again. 20 years ago he kidnapped a woman he had a crush on, and 20 years later he kidnapped a hate man. Compared with the reckless and straightforward guy in "Tie Me and Tie Me" back then, the kidnapping of the leading plastic surgeon in "La piel que habito" is even stranger and more brutal. , Of course, the ending will not be as satisfactory as the former.
Almodovar’s new film has made many people look forward to it for a long time. Although the film has a micro-science fiction and micro-horror packaging, its core is always a topic he has always been passionate about, such as human desire, violence, betrayal, and the fight between the sexes. And struggle, the main constituent elements of the film are also common in his previous films, such as strange love, abnormal love, sin, sinking, etc., but this time, he went a little further on the spiritual level, and the theme involved extreme inhumanity. The question of the existence of the soul in the environment is the indelible nature of the self.
The film is also rich in expressionism in the form of reproduction, especially in stage beauty and costumes. However, in the past, Almodovar's lens applications tended to be bold and unrestrained, which implied the casual atmosphere of advocating freedom, but this time, it seemed a bit gloomy and dull, even if its colors were rich and colorful. The soundtrack used in the film, whether it is piano, violin, electronic music, or even children’s voice, has a weird and vague atmosphere, which seems to be the only good helper to trigger the film’s horror.
Objectively speaking, Almodovar once again used an unusual story to emphasize some of his creative ideas, but this time the story is indeed a bit shocking, but it is not surprising, sensitive audiences will soon discover the connection: the film Not long after the beginning, there was a scene showing Vera splicing the torn fabrics on the puppets, and in the middle part of the memory, Vincent in the women's clothing store also had a scene of stitching fabrics. The connection seems to be a part of the film. buckle. On the wall of the doctor’s house, there are many works by Louise Bourgeois, which seems to be a crucial comment—many of the works of this female painter show the symbiosis and coexistence of both sexes.
The interesting part of the film is not the taste-oriented story, but the people in the story and their minds. The reason why Dr. Robert Ledger became a "Frankenstein" character is inseparable from his family identity. As a husband and father, he loves his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, both of the front and back feet jumped off the building. The former was still after being derailed, eloped, and burned beyond recognition, or fell to death in front of his young daughter at that time... So the doctor was immersed in his own research to overcome problems in the industry. If there were no such "otherworldly" incidents, it would be It is a white-clothed hymn dedicated to medicine.
At the moment when he witnessed the destruction of his "work", Robert was aroused by his failure to protect his daughter. The moment he instinctively rushed in and raised his gun, his heart was in a trance, and the expression of the "work" at this time suggested Played a key role. At the moment he killed Zach, he fell in love with his "work", as if killing his half-brother Zach had taken away both Zach and his deceased wife. His "work" was just A person who looks like a deceased wife, and he is her father of reconstruction, everything about her is given to her, and she belongs to him as she "said". The one who gets caught first in the relationship is always the saddest. The "work" is not Barbie, but has a soul, knowing who you are, and sometimes, "Stockholm Syndrome" does not always happen.
The film also had a buckle in the women's clothing store 6 years ago. The saleswoman Christina told the suitor Vincent that she didn't like men. Six years later, when Vincent stood bravely in front of Christina, he did not know why he finally accepted reality when he was in captivity, whether there was Christina's share.
In addition, I have always believed that the most beautiful transgender in Almodovar’s films is Laura in "Everything About My Mother". She (he) who lives in the legends of the people is really amazing when she appears, graceful, indistinguishable from male and female, and beautiful. Publicity and restraint, even the action of taking out a handkerchief to wipe tears is full of charm.
