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.

    The male initiative (participating in person with actual actions or words) and the female passive (a container for receiving information) constitute an opposition to prove that communication is invalid. The speaker is actually in a passive state (and is constantly reminded). This is one of them. ; The second is that the bodies of the two sexes are not equal, which is presented in silent episodes. The huge female body (male perspective) survives and moves like a miracle. The shrinking male uses primitive desire to drive to complete religious sacrifices in order to obtain the protection of the mother. Unnatural foreign objects (speech, drugs) construct (above) gender desires, but also construct resistance strategies: unlike Pina’s escape attempt in "Muller’s Cafe", the statically displayed body is a woman’s attitude towards the outside world. The "negative resistance" of fear and struggle, but both attack the dominant male power-men can only watch from a distance and cannot actually enter (or face death) the female world. However, this direct gender gap is self-regulating Tendency, need to beware.

    I don't feel anything when I watch the movie, and the more I think about it, the more I get caught up in it and it's hard to extricate myself. Combining personal experiences and feelings, I can't help but feel sad. Can empathize with the hero. This is an unrequited love that is willing to give everything for love. PS The dance of Pina at the opening was very pleasant, and the silent film in the film was the highlight // 20180418 Beijing Film Festival Screening. My favorite Almodovar movie, I was still moved to tears when I saw it on the big screen. The tenderness of the male protagonist who is regarded as a sissy is great
