Barcelona embraced by night

A movie brings together bereaved children, lesbians, transsexuals, prostitutes, drugs, AIDS, etc. In terms of dog blood, Aunt Qiong Yao will give Almodovar three points. But Almodovar's blood may make your jaw drop, but never roll your eyes. Because the women in Almodóvar's works are never attached to men, and they are never judged by outdated values, the natural trust and mutual assistance between them, ignoring each other's identities, is touching. The four main characters represent the innate roles of women, part mother, part actor, part saint, and part woman by nature. And the one who harmed them represents the original sin of women. And the short-lived appearance of the culprit was equally heart-wrenching. Almodovar deserves to know women best. The intertwined stories of several characters can reflect so many deep and true connotations, which is a genius play. Several other shots are impressive, such as the son running away from the mother, Barcelona refracted by the car window, and "success is colorless and tasteless, after getting used to it, it is the same as nothing" and so on. Only the ending is slightly redundant.

#重看#4.5; A hymn dedicated to all mothers, beautiful female group portraits (comparison of several groups of mother images, reality reflected in the play), burning courage for life and kindness in the big hot red. Almodovar used humor, kindness, compassion and the greatest love to erase all traces of spectacles, all the struggles against the world, all the erotic desires that are alienated from the mainstream social standards, in the three Esteban’s lives. In the inheritance of the spirit, everything disappears into the invisible, and in the back and forth tunnel (time passing), the mistakes made by human weakness and desire are forgiven.
