love-hate juxtaposition

Cecelia 2022-03-21 09:01:48

1⃣️Extreme art about the human body, in an extremely lyrical atmosphere, the captivity, cutting, collage, transformation, and transformation of the body all have the beauty of art. The skin is beautiful, spotless, and even seemingly painless (the painful part is only in the narrative, the process is not reflected), but the horror and violence beneath the beauty and cleanliness is chilling.

2⃣️It is extremely cruel to seize the skin, and the appearance given is the ultimate love, the dislocation and juxtaposition of extreme hate and extreme love. A person's body carries the pain of two other people (wife and daughter), and he is not so much a doll as a container.

3⃣️The memories of the same bed with different dreams are intertwined and filmed so well.

4⃣️ The ending has no strength and no surprises.

    Maybe it's because the picture is so clean this time? Vincent is so miserable to be locked up, and the poor ending is really a relief. One Almodovar a day.

    There is no one else in this mind! The discussion of gender ethics is basically unparalleled. Desires flow in revenge, and identity defines revenge again. I didn’t expect Almodovar to be a good player in sci-fi suspense. After removing the warm color block, Almodovar even ushered in a brand new self. At first, I feel that the characters' narrative is very low, but later I find that there are too many things to say later, and using my mouth is an efficient choice.
