One thing they all admit is that the bright and bright colors used by the director are very different from the writing style of the original author of the novel, Monroe. But that's okay, although I've always had a desire in my heart to "see the same cool tones and soundtrack" - maybe something similar to "Winter's Bone", but of course, it will be much brighter. (And what’s interesting is that in a scene where Julieta and her current boyfriend are in the cinema, the poster for the movie starring Jennifer Lawrence just appeared, and it was this poster that made me realize the approximate time of this story!)

The story is from Canada Moving to Spain, I don't think it's a bad thing. First, the temperament of the two heroines is in line with psychological expectations (the middle-aged Julieta is better, although I think the younger version is very beautiful, but the former exudes a more deserted and slightly disturbed atmosphere). Second, the story has a high degree of reduction, and the narrative is more concise than I expected. Personally, I feel that the 90 minutes are well allocated and controlled. Converting literature into a movie must require a layer of filtering and packaging. This movie is well done, so it is highly recommended for fans of the original to watch.

It's just that the film's expressiveness doesn't seem to penetrate my heart enough. Monroe's writing spreads his emotions with his delicate observations of life, and euphemistically describes the ingenuity and turbulence of fate. The film is dominated by the relaxation of the story, with selected soundtracks (it was chosen to add to the suspenseful atmosphere, but not against harmony), and powerful pictures (unfortunately, the meaning of the scene where the scarf was lifted, I only read other reviews. Suddenly realized), the self-narration of the narrator is clear emotional orientation: the unexpected separation of life and the time-limited and eternal pain it brings; emotional support, acquisition and escape. But I guess if I hadn't read the original book, I would have lost patience and interest in such a bland story as the movie.

When I saw half of it, I guessed it was an adaptation of a novel, but it turned out to be true. No wonder the imagery of color and space is so full that a voice-over commentary has to be added for fear that the audience will not understand. Juliet wears two kinds of clothes in her life, blue when she is attached to a fisherman, and red when she is attached to her daughter. At first glance, it seems that she is too fettered, but it actually means excessive self-confidence. It also echoes a rare translation in Taiwan: Juliet who silences herself. .

A / In the past, even in a first-class work like "Tell Her", the sense of continuity between shots was sometimes cut off by the needs of some "narratives". When it comes to "The Skin of My Living", it seems that the narrative has been integrated into the unique perceptual situation of the image itself from a micro perspective to a great extent - but the whole is still framed and bound by the narrative structure. In "Julietta", Almodovar's innovative control seems to have penetrated into all time and space and even become a mysterious shroud of "phenology". The obvious "functionalization" gaps are almost completely cut out, and there is only a very dangerous psychological wandering full of emotions and atmosphere.
