Broken Embraces

After a long wait, it was finally released. The film was filmed, and the plot was a bit dramatic. The mistress who was fostered and the lover fought hotly, and finally was beaten by the mandarin duck. Compared with "Floating Flowers", "The Mistress's Lover" is less heavy (life and death and women's self-reliance) and more passionate. Of course the inherent sense of humour is still there. In Amu Duhua's films, everything seems to be very indifferent. Penélope Cruz under the mirror of Emduhua is particularly beautiful, she is simply too beautiful to behold, this kind of woman, even a woman will be moved when she sees it.

Almodovar loyalist. There's a director who knows women better than women, he's good at telling stories, and he likes bright hues.

This time I am a little disappointed with Almodovar. First of all, the plot does not have the personality and uniqueness of the past movies, and it seems too routine emotionally.

Diego: When you were waiting at the roundabout, for a car to pass on your left, Lena and you kissed.
Mateo Blanco: We kissed? I don't remember that.
Diego: It's a normal kiss, the kind couples give each other out of habit.
Mateo Blanco: The last kiss.
Diego: Yes. Lena didn't die in your arms, like you'd dreamed, but the last sensation she took from this world was your mouth.

[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.
