Fourteen years of memories

Dina 2022-03-22 09:02:25

Love is not eternal, maybe just that moment, fleeting, and some can only live in the beautiful past, let people appreciate those incomplete pictures and memories, to commemorate the great love.

Some plots of the film are not fully narrated, and the structure is not very reasonable. For example, after the director's son found out about his life, the film did not tell the inner world. It may be entirely to explain the sad and struggle history of the unknown woman who has been with the director all the time. It was the last "kiss goodbye" after the car accident, but the male lead didn't even remember it, so I couldn't understand it.

Broken Embraces quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Modelo: What's your name?

    Mateo Blanco: Harry Caine.

    [voiceover]

    Mateo Blanco: I used to be called Mateo and I was a film director. I was always tempted by the idea of being someone else, as well as myself. Living one's life wasn't enough, so I invented a pseudonym, Harry Caine, an adventurer who, as fate would have it, became a writer. I had him sign all the scripts and stories I wrote. For years, Mateo Blanco and Harry Caine shared the same body, mine. But a moment came when suddenly I could only be Harry Caine. I became my pseudonym. A self-made writer made by himself. There was just one unforseen detail. Harry Caine would be a blind writer.

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Ray X: That's what we've got re-edited.

    Mateo Blanco: Do you think it's worth carrying on, or is it crazy?

    Diego: What? I pissed myself laughing. I'm dying to see what happens.

    Judit García: It's wonderful, Mateo!

    Diego: It's hilarious. You have to re-release it.

    Mateo Blanco: No, what matters is to finish it. Films have to be finished, even if you do it blindly.
