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.

    Almodovar's use of color reaches the extreme in this film, and the red full of life consciousness is completely different from Zhang Yimou's repressed and tragic. Everything about a mother is love, an unparalleled love that spans time and space. A life intertwined with blood and tears on and off the stage of "A Streetcar Named Desire". This is not just a woman's story, but concerns for the LGBT community. In the current Chinese cultural context, the importance of such works is beyond doubt.

    I thought you would watch that person who had been waiting for a long time leave in the heavy rain. After hesitating for a moment, he chased it out. The look of my mother standing in front of the giant human face poster is so beautiful. Even if you have left, look at the person with your heart to continue to live a tenacious life, happy and loving, and the lover will eventually be married. The women under Lao A's lens are always so calm, kind-hearted, tough and infinitely tolerant. Then life can no longer hurt you any more.
