don't like it

I've watched a lot of Spanish movies, but I just don't like this one.

Structure, ah, deconstruction, it's not wrong to show off the structure, but it's not very flattering to show off so hypocritically. Especially with such a cheap happy ending, and the sentence "Find a hole at the end, and then you can start all over again". . Is contrived the so-called magic realism?

In the whole film, the only thing I like is Lucia, her courage and straightforwardness, she feels like she is wearing a red dress in a poster, riding a motorcycle, and galloping on the sand. I feel that Spain is such a super-saturated country, with bright sunshine, blue ocean, gravel-yellow sand and people with red blood flowing. But the light and shadow in this film have been treated into a kind of color-weariness that is almost exposed, gloomy and morbid.

Sometimes I feel that the story and structure of a movie are not the most important thing. The emotion and details conveyed by the image are the things that can be tasted for a long time.

All in all, a film that doesn't really catch a cold. Those who like the tube also tap lightly. .

Sex and Lucía quotes

  • Pepe: [At Lorenzo's birthday party] Well, the baby girl was born in Madrid. But she was conceived on a beach, on an island, a night like tonight, with a stranger from Madrid. It was his birthday. If you write this well, it'll be the story of your life. And my birthday gift to you.

  • Lorenzo: The first advantage is at the end of the story. It doesn't finish, it falls in a hole. And the story starts again halfway. The other advantage, and the biggest, is that you can change course along the way... If you let me. If you give me time.

    Elena: All the time you want.
