When I look back on the plot after watching it all, I even think it is a hodgepodge of all the elements of curiosity; this includes almost all the events of the marginal characters, and the probability of happening in reality is almost zero. But look at it from the beginning without any presupposition, and the actors' natural and persuasive performances, and the ever-changing storyline, will fascinate you. During that time I cried four times and laughed once. It's the most touching parent-child movie I've ever seen! !



The things that impress me are:

1. When the son talks frankly about sex to his mother, I feel that the mother and son get along so harmoniously; I never expected that at the beginning of the film, the son will die. Then, whenever my mother cried, I couldn't help crying.

2. Everyone's attitude towards the transgender person is so natural that they are not at all disgusted and rejected by his/her intersex organs, and are even quite interested in appreciating it. How beautiful is such a forgiving life!

3. I like the last subtitle: Dedicated to all women who play women, etc. Yes, the setting and rigidity of gender is the bondage and torture of human nature. Love the director's idea.


Disagree:

I don't think children are born to think single-parent families are handicapped. It's learned, not instinct.

    This movie suddenly made me understand the pallor of language. Behind the sentence "My son died" is the constant crying and the hole in my heart that nothing can fill. The reader can only be touched by the slightest touch, and only those who have experienced it can understand that this story that cannot be told is literally blood and tears.

    A tragedy full of warmth, it is also my favorite one in Almodovar movies. As usual, it is the main line of the plot that shocks the world, but it does not seem to feel abnormal at all. The photography and performance are very exciting, the clues are complex enough, and the feelings of the characters are more real than the later Talk to Her. This movie should also be regarded as an out-and-out female film. Among the four male characters in the play, one of them died shortly after they appeared on the scene, and the other who led the fate of all the people in the play only appeared at the end. For a moment, there is a woman of the opposite sex who is a woman of the opposite sex, and another who has been demented for many years and can't even recognize her own daughter. The heroines are strong, kind, beautiful, tolerant, and all the advantages are taken up! Hey, but the last short epilogue seems a bit redundant.
