Be too direct and you will fail

Marco represents the vast majority. We cannot speak to objects that cannot speak. We are moved in love, but conservative. After losing a loved one, you can only secretly feel emotional and cry, but will not continue to fight for it. The retreat is all because of complex psychology and because each person has his own set of ways of dealing with the world. We stubbornly believe that our stories are the most real and the most poignant, but we don’t think that we can actually make our stories more direct and beautiful, instead of creating a broken beauty for our self-comfort and secretly sentimental.

Benigno represents a small group of people who are delicate and sensitive, and have no hesitation in the things and people they like. He can feel Lydia with his heart, whether it is based on his own YY ​​or real feelings, at least as long as he feels it, he will do as Lydia's 'requirements', go to dance, movies, travel. The same is true for friends. When he regards Marco as his only friend, he leaves all his property to him. Behind his dull face is a slender and too direct heart, without concealment, without hesitation, without even self-respect, to give everything for how he feels, for the one he loves.

So just like in reality, people who are too direct, don't know how to be subtle, and are so delicate and crazy eventually become a tragedy. In the society, people who fumble around, protect themselves, and detour and vigilant continue to develop their own lives. But Almodovar still tells us that loneliness is not right, to communicate. After we watched the film, we continued to be silent.
