Almodovar also respects and sympathizes with men. He is a man himself, and he knows everything about men's struggles and fragility in love. In the love he describes, the men are like Apollo chasing Daphne, leading the young people forward, but desperate and low self-esteem. This is the attitude that Zhang Ailing said is as low as the dust. There is no normal way for them to achieve love, from the rope and door lock in "Tie Me, Tie Me" to the unresponsive chattering in "Speaking to Her", including the one in this film, through selling This is true for both physical and transgender. Men in his films are all teenagers and children.
As for the transgender struggling between men and women, Almodovar's attitude is very complicated. It is a mixture of compassion, disgust, and despair. Transgender people appeared in "Bad Education" and "Everything About My Mother", and they are all sad and ridiculous like clowns. You may not be able to comment on them, but you certainly don't like meeting them. Most homosexuals have experienced a bottleneck period in their gender positioning, and Almodovar must be no exception. This attitude is an almost inevitable sequelae of the bottleneck period.
At the beginning of the film, Enrique was reading a piece of news. In fact, this piece of news is also the epitome of the plot of the film. A frozen motorcyclist drove dozens of kilometers under the escort of two policemen. The dead Ignacio, also under the escort of the priest and brother, continued to break into Enrique's life four years later. Juan pretended to be Ignacio to come to Enrique, but his attitude was polite and cold, and later said that he didn't want to see him again because he had changed a lot. From this, think about the ever-changing deity of Ignacio. Even if he survives by chance and finds Enrique, how can he be accepted? His tragedy is determined. There is no other reason-transgender people, this is the original sin of God Almodovar.
As for another piece of news, the woman killed by the crocodile was the incarnation of Enrique herself. This is a calm man. From a young age, he told his lover that he did not believe in God and that he was a hedonist. In fact, he suspected Juan had a problem early on, but he didn't say anything wrong, waiting for the answer with childish curiosity, enjoying the feeling of being bitten by the crocodile of doubt and lust, and testing how far he and the other party could go. The complicated and ambiguous eyes next to the swimming pool were supernatural and sexy. This man, he is a real child, he is not afraid, he can be cruel to others and himself. There are also Juan and the priest, they are all children who meet the above standards. Only Ignacio, as a typical child at the beginning (it is already a very obvious ID to call him a childish voice), when he started not to be a child and contributed his sexual organs to protect Enrique, his tragedy has already begun. In Almodovar, children provide tragedy and harm, and martyrdom and protection are always done by the mother. How can a child and a man become an adult and a Virgin? He couldn't afford it, so he was crushed for the rest of his life. He became a chaotic freak in between: on the one hand he is a man, on the other hand he is a woman, on the other hand he hurts his brother and mother like a real child (Juan takes care of his life, Wiping his ass for his evil things. From this perspective, his role in front of Juan is a son). On the one hand, he is like a truly tough and responsible adult, insisting on writing, rehabilitating drugs, and his love for Enrique, looking forward to doing his best. May enter the other person's life with less burden. Of course he died in the end.
There are not many women in the film, one is the mother of Ignacio and Juan. Like all the mothers of Almodovar, she was tenacious, peaceful, and took on all this without complaint. Another is Juan’s later wife, Monica. When Juan was most painful and embarrassed, she provided a car symbolizing the Ark and the womb and rescued him. And the final ending is also the standard Almodovar attitude: a silent world. It does not move like a mountain, calmly containing all indifference, betrayal, murder and forgetting like a mother, brewing the next time, another fetal movement of desire. To Almodovar, the world is a dim womb. And all the sentient beings are the children who stumbled among them.
PS1: Fele Martinez is really handsome. Tall and sexy, looks good in everything.
