The movie poster is pretty weird. Two bright and smooth bodies were sitting on the left and right, and a pair of hands comforted them, like a round gourd, like a cup thrown when asking God to make a wish, and like a totem worshipped by some mysterious tribe. At first glance, it is not clear which part of the human body these two symmetrical curves belong to. Only later did I understand that this is the deepest position for men and women to have sex and reconciliation, and the closest distance between people. Watching the third Almodovar film, I began to have a little understanding of his wild and free style. Such a fanatical poster must have the same obsessive story behind it. There are five main characters in the film, three men and two women. The story begins because of sex. Elena, the only daughter of a diplomat who is addicted to drugs, meets Victor, the 20-year-old male protagonist, in a bar. The passion of the young man came and went like a tornado. In the toilet of the bar, he hurriedly helped the other party to complete the transformation from boy to man, and casually said the agreement to see each other after next week. A week later, the boy arrives as promised, and Elena, who is only a dewy affair, humiliates Victor's self-esteem as a man. He was outraged, the two got into a fight, and in the chaos, he shot the policeman David who had heard the news, causing him to be paralyzed from the lower body. Elena fell in love with David at first sight and fell in love with him, becoming his wife. And Victor was imprisoned. Six years later, after being released from prison, Victor not only had to face the world of right and wrong, but also unexpectedly discovered that there was another hidden truth behind the accidental injury. The three men in the play, Victor, David, and Sancho, all have a strong male innate desire for control and possessiveness. Aside from the influence of women, they are actually the same type of people. Among them, the older Sancho was the most rude and savage, a bit like Feng Yuanzheng in "Don't Talk to Strangers". Suspicion, alcoholism, violence, and often full of old fists to his wife, led to his wife being overwhelmed and secretly having an affair with his colleague David. The sexual abilities of the other two men are described in the film, but he does not mention it at all, and can't help but imagine that this is a metaphor of the director, and he may have sexual dysfunction. The premise of a one-night couple's hundred-day grace is sex, so it is often said that couples fight at the head of the bed, and the married life without the bed as a lubricant will inevitably cloud the sun. Sancho's wife, Clara, is in her prime. She is a mature milf and a mature woman. The two have been in the same bed for many years, but they have different dreams and appearances. Later, Victor took advantage of the loophole. And David has been disabled since he was hit by that bullet. Paralysis of the lower body is a disaster for a man. Although he has the halo and honor of a national-level basketball player in the Paralympic Games on his head, as he said, he was paralyzed by looking at the front and the sky on the road before. In the future, he can only look down at the curb forever, to prevent the shit from soiling his hand pushing the wheelchair. What's more sad, he and his wife Elena cannot live a normal married life. The only thing that can be compensated is a moment of tenderness between the tongues, which is tantamount to scratching the itch. His fate was changed by that accidental and inevitable event. That shot was actually Sancho's malicious intent to avenge his personal revenge, and he had to accept the consequences of this debt. In the face of young Victor's blatant provocation, he is depressed, lost, mad, jealous, angry, but helpless. And Victor, who seems to have nothing in the movie, has advantages that the other two can't match: healthy, young and full of vitality. Behind the desire for sex there is youth as a constant driving force, and there are infinite possibilities and completely different endings. He met Sancho's wife Clara in the cemetery, and at first tried to lure her with money, but he was unmoved, but he had a coveted sturdy body and vitality, and this instinctive sensual temptation dried up for many years woman is irresistible. He took out his health check-up form a little childishly to prove his innocence, more like a naked teasing and showing off. Clean, majestic and lacking in experience and skills, the little fresh meat is like a moth to a middle-aged woman who meets that charming fire in the dark. The sex education class of the two people started from the first and second quarters, and went out of control. Practice makes perfect, but also love. Afterwards, Clara, who was originally cold and frosty, has fallen into a sea of lust and fell in love with him who is destined to be a passerby. When the monasticism has been completed, Victor, who has "stunts", uses all his strengths on Elena, who has ridiculed him, and he also falls into the heart that has been silent for a long time. The scene of the two making love is straightforward and seductive. They respond to each other with hunger and thirst. The sweat is flowing between the enlarged pores. The high-pitched male voice in the background leads them all the way to the peak of happiness. The lingering blend of water and milk is more like a beautiful oil painting. Every time you go in and out, and the yin and yang meet, you can hear the cry of the other party's soul. This kind of incisive sex made Elena unable to relive the fragrance brought by her body again and again when she took a bath after returning home. This long-lost breath is really unforgettable, and the strong sense of satisfaction even covered up the intense friction. tearing and stinging. As another name of the film, this is the living flesh, this is the trembling desire. If it is purely from eroticism, it can be seen that the marriage and incestuous love of these five men and two women end up. Sancho and Clara's lovelessness and sexlessness eventually turned into a tragedy of Xiangxiaoyu's death. Clara, David and Victor's infidelity with sex and no love is just what they need, and the consequences of irresponsibility are the bloody price. Between David and Elena, it's more of a soul-like love of gratitude. Feelings have not had time to boil, it has changed from love to family. This feeling is more like ice cubes slowly melting in the water, silently and quietly. The temperature of the water is still there, but is it still ice? Only love and sex are one, and Victor, who sits and does what he says, has the last laugh in this cruel courtship battle. But in reality, this kind of marriage with the perfect combination of spirit and flesh is not easy to come by. A marriage that is maintained by love alone is always going to be dwindling, and a romantic pursuit driven by desire is more like a spring dream. The beginning and end of the movie echo before and after, the father was born in the car, the son wants to make mistakes, the only thing that changes is the cold and bustling outside the car window. The days of anxiety are over, and the baby is more a metaphor for the arrival of the new world.
