Would you fall in love with someone who was by your side like this?
My answer is no.
He accompanies me, talks to me, and shares his experiences, all of which are just his joys and sorrows. My joy, my sorrow, my pain? He couldn't feel it at all. Does he really understand what I want and can he really give me advice to solve the dilemma? If not, what else is there to know and love?
"Tell Her", one of the representative works of the strange old Spanish man Almodóvar, has been widely praised even with the supporting silent film "Shrinking Lover", which he directed by himself. As a director who has always focused on women's perspectives, when talking about this film, Almodovar mentioned a story about two men: one is the husband of a female bullfighter who suffered a disaster, and the other is guarding the vegetative man who is already in a vegetative state. The caregiver of the object of your crush. They meet in the theater, reunite in the hospital, and talk to each other because of their similar situation. On the surface, the female bullfighter died of serious injuries, but the dancing girl who had become a vegetative state woke up and recovered, all because of the nurse's words, perseverance and "tell her" year after year.
Therefore, many people sighed at the infatuation of the nurse, moved by his wholehearted dedication for four years, and lamented how rare this year-round relationship was, but in the end it could only end in tragedy.
But in fact?
This situation has nothing to do with the wind and moon, just lonely.
Take the rather misleading poster, for example, where the profile faces of the two women take up almost the entire poster board, but in the film, they barely meet at all.
It can be said that there is no heroine, but two big men sing the main play. But seeing this poster, it turns out that the two women lurking in the story are the focus. Almodovar is indeed the story of two men, but it is the story of two men who failed in emotional processing.
Let’s start with the posters. All versions of the posters show the profile faces of these two women, and they are all cold and warm tones, with sharp contrasts. There is obviously such a warm red. I don’t know why, but it makes people feel uncomfortable. to enthusiasm. The cold face of the woman in the front left sets the tone of the entire poster, and a cold breath blows over her face.
In order to complete the daily "speak to her", the nurses share their own life with her, share new things that happen every day, go to her favorite dramas for her, and sign autographs for the stars she wants. However, is talk really equal to communicate? Is it love each other or a one-man show? Just like that movie within a movie, are you going to enter her heart, or "return to the mother body"?
The title is ironic, Talk to Her, not Talk with Her. It's like a matador quarreling with Marco, saying you're just talking about yourself, not talking to me at all. Therefore, in her heart, what she never forgets is her ex. In contrast to Benigno, he shared new things with his sweetheart every day, rubbed his body for her, and got close to the things she liked. In fact, he was just immersed in his own love world, proudly and lonely performing scenes of one-man shows.
If you were the unconscious woman on the sickbed, would you wake up and fall in love with the man by your side? How do you feel when someone tells you that he has done so many thoughtful things for you, and that he has impregnated you by having a relationship with you unconsciously, to wake you up?
Love is a bridge, connecting point A and point B. You and I are located at both ends of the bridge. We come and go, and we will eventually meet. If you don't come, I will go; if I don't go, you will come. Scream, you can hear echoes in the distance.
Since it is said that they are in love, then it is a matter of both parties. Thinking that the other party will be moved, thinking that the other party likes it, and doing things that seem to be happy to others, maybe in the eyes of the other party, it's just an eyesore.
