mistress's lover

"Broken Embrace" also has another name - "The Mistress's Lover". In the film once again let people experience Cruz's style and quite skilled acting. However, I always feel that her acting skills are constantly repeating her previous style. Perhaps, this is her true performance. It was director Almodovar who made Cruz who she is today, let her go all the way from Spain to Hollywood, and even disintegrated the marriage of Hollywood star Tom Cruise.
Back to the topic, the plot is about a wealthy businessman's mistress who has nothing to do, meets a young director in an accidental audition, and the two quickly fall in love. The result can be imagined, the rich businessman discovered all this and tried his best to destroy the relationship between them. The two escaped from the status quo temporarily, but the escape is not eternal, they always have to return to reality, so on the first day they decided to return. One day, they had a car accident, the mistress was killed, and the lover went blind. The blind lover ends up avenging his mistress with his art.
The story of the film is not very strange, and the shooting is not very artistic. Of course, the front lines and expressions of the characters are still in place. Watching this Spanish film is like watching a French film. There is always a feeling of messy and scattered writing. I always feel that I don't really understand it, but I always feel that I have caught something, and that is all based on my own understanding. A shot can cause different ripples in the hearts of each audience, and can have different feelings, but the key is whether what this shot expresses can resonate with us.

I hope the fragrant Cruz can bring us more and more visual enjoyment and artistic resonance.

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.
