The film is roughly about a director who is in his late years and suffering from illness, reconciling with old friends, lovers, mothers, and even childhood. I remember this sentence in "All About My Mother": "If you are leaving, please tell me, I like to say goodbye to the people I love the most." I think it is very suitable as a footnote for this movie. In the movie, the director complained about why some people like Iceland? Looking back and thinking about it, even if it is such an autobiographical film with a bitter tone, the picture under the lens is still like a kaleidoscope, with Spanish-style colorful and bright colors and imagination. There are comments that this movie is like a gentle poem, and I agree with it very much. Its tenderness is not only reflected in the soothing rhythm and delicate emotion, but also in the release of the knot. I don't know if I misinterpreted it. The director was very concerned about being sent to the seminary as a child, so after graduation he immediately went to Madrid alone, which seemed to have become a knot between their mother and son. Later, he found a picture drawn by a cement worker. The letter behind it thanked the director for teaching him to write when he was a child, and mentioned that the director should have learned more when he went to the seminary.
Looking back many years later, I see that the little knowledge I have imparted to others has had such a huge impact on his life. Does this make the director feel relieved about entering the seminary back then? ?
If a person discovers that he has had an irreplaceable significance in the lives of others, this powerful spiritual impact will make people have unparalleled passion and respect for life.
So later the director resumed filming, even though he had always shied away from saying that the illness made him helpless and unable to resume his old business.
Personally, I like those childhood clips the most, even though life was hard at that time, but in the director's memory, under his lens, those times are still beautiful, it can be said to be the brightest and purest scene in the movie.
