----------I read Almodovar's "All About My Mother"
Dear, please tell me. Does the emotion I want to express really touch you?
I watched a movie late at night again. This time it's "All About My Mother" by Almodovar. Once again, I was really impressed. Also very simply shed tears. Perhaps, the charm of the movie is really close to this. Quietly watch the plot change calmly, from soothing to exciting, sad or ecstatic. Then he sighed without hesitation.
A deeply imprinted scene of special photography techniques, a moving original soundtrack. Enough to make me cry. Almodovar he was so good, he never let me down. Like a rainy day three years ago, I saw his
A single mother, Manuela, is overwhelmed by the loss of her son. Leaving home for Barcelona, she said she had unfinished business. Lu Yu meets Ayue, an old friend who is still a prostitute. Memories came overwhelming.
It's about a man, a "male" man that Manuela hated, who has now undergone sex reassignment surgery - Lola.
Love is a rupture that drowns tenderness. Young Manuela and Lola, who is also a drama actress, got married very early. After marriage, her husband went out to make a living, and he left for two years. Two years have changed a lot, Lola has changed sex. Even the kind-hearted Manuela thought that as long as he was good, he could still be together. But her husband left, leaving behind her and her unborn son. She raised her son alone until the rainy night on the night of her eighteenth birthday, and watched her son fall and die in the majestic rain, stripping her of a whole dependent world. Carrying her son's wishes and her responsibilities as a mother, she came to this city just to tell Lola that she didn't fulfill her responsibilities. Tell him I'm sorry my son died.
Love is the original sin that cannot be redeemed. Lola became a prostitute, stole money from her friend, and contracted AIDS. While helping Manuela find a job in a different city, she meets a kind nun, Luca. But she didn't know that Lusa was three months pregnant. And the father of the child is the "sinful" person, Lola. In this unexpected lust, Lusa suffers from AIDS.
Love is a puzzle of death and emotion. The plot got heated step by step. All the mysteries were revealed at once. Lusha died, and a pure little life was born. Lola's death is the reconciliation of the three women. . The tolerant Manuela forgives Lola's shamelessness and absurdity, and compensates for the debt Lola owes to Lusa with careful care. She took good care of Lusa's son as her Edmonton.

This is probably what Almodovar wants to tell us, mothers and they are so warm. Fading away all the drowsy pain, it turned into the most tolerant and warm smile. Ignore the tears in the corners of the eyes and the bitterness on the lips.
Yes, although the heroines in the play have different identities and different experiences. What doesn't change is their warmth towards love and their pursuit of kindness.
Manuela too. same kindness. Even after more than ten years, I will still believe in the steadfastness of love, and I will still believe in the goodness of people's hearts. From understanding to tolerance, from sincerity to touching.
Her old friend Ayue, although she is a prostitute in the film, speaks openly, but she is very real and kind. She was more of a person than Manuela. Like her colloquialism---"Do you know why I'm called Ayue? Because I take it as my duty to please the public"
and even Lola. I have sympathy for Lola from the bottom of my heart, even though he has caused a lot of mischief. What more can we say when we see the last Lola, kissing little Edmonde, weeping in fear, and regretting our mistakes. Presumably, Manuela has answered for us: blessing and tolerance. That's it.
Whether it's a transgender man or a prostitute. The women Almodovar tried to portray have the same disposition. They are all so kind and warm us with their own unique warmth. They are all in love with each other, and they are very steadfast. Maybe you hate gays very much, but you can't hate their beautiful qualities. So, no matter who she is, she deserves the least respect from us. I think this should be Almodovar's intention.
Almodovar has also publicly declared himself gay, and is the only director who uses his art to support gays. Although I don't approve (nor resist) homosexuality, I can't help but feel that he is really brave. In Almodovar's films, the plots are always strong and depressing, but they all have incomparable charm.
Through the bright and intense colors under his lens, the story is just as bright and dazzling. The last sunlight fell on the newborn child. Manuela held him in her arms, a surviving smile on her face. Manuela stopped crying, but I couldn't hold back the tears.
