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.

    We can only truly capture the rich and real audio-visual systems of Almodóvar’s smeared and real audio-visual systems only when we actively acquire saturated colors. Almost all the effective connections he builds are free from the text. From the viewpoint of "group image", pouring in dense words destroys the overloaded concentration, but piles up vivid colors inside the emotions, so when returning to the real visual and auditory synchronicity, it presents an artificial conflict - intonation hallucination "Concept Package". Therefore, when the highly abstract female image appears, it is more full of emotions. In the gorgeous frame where the focus floats, the shadows on the edges and corners are touched, and gentle, pure love and desire are surging...

    Said to her, "All About My Mother": kind, loving, kind, helpful, good acting... Almodovar is a bit "perverted", and transgender, incest, rape, etc. appeared in his films It's a despised plot, but even so, I didn't feel disgusted when I watched the movie. For me, who is a bit unaccustomed to transvestites, Lola's appearance in the film did not make me uncomfortable, which is quite rare. Still, "Tell Her" made me like it more! -2013.04.23 —— On Mother's Day, with two female friends, at the China Film Archive (Baiziwan Hall), we revisited "All About My Mother". -2017.05.14

All About My Mother quotes

  • Manuela: You are not a human being, Lola. You are an epidemic.

  • Manuela: My friend and her husband with the tits set up a bar here, on the Barceloneta. He spent the day in a tiny bikini, screwing everything he could, and giving her a hard time if she wore a bikini or even a miniskirt. The bastard! How could anyone act so macho with a pair of tits like that?
