1. Sickness
Because of my family’s reasons, I never missed the hospital since I was a child, especially when my mother was sick, and stayed in and out of the hospital for a year and a half, witnessing too many births, old ages, illnesses and deaths. The unbearable burden of sickness and death is something that no matter how desperately human beings try to resist and get rid of it, they will reach the same goal by different paths, and in the end they have to face and accept them. In the film, the director played by Banderas, the body's illness, taking a lot of medicine, physical pain will also affect the mental state, and continue to torment, but fortunately, the most deadly disease is removed through surgery. Many times people are not afraid of death, but sickness. It is inevitable that some problems will arise when you live to be a few years old. Know and understand your body, actively treat it, and try to accept it calmly.
2. Aging
When I lived to 30 years old, there was obviously a very different feeling from my 20-year-old myself. The body function has gradually entered a degraded mode, which cannot be saved by physical exercise or active maintenance. A kind of downtrend. Time began to pass quickly, unknowingly linking with old age. No one can disobey this inevitable natural phenomenon, but I have always felt that old age is not necessarily bad, especially when the mind changes, people will become more stable and mature, broadened knowledge and accumulated experience, you can It is not a good thing to lose the sharpness of the young, smooth the edges and corners, and continue to live with a more calm and relieved mentality. It is not a good thing to think about it, so we can see such a soft Almodovar.
3. Addiction
In the film, the director and his old friends began to try drugs after meeting. Firstly, they might be really curious. Secondly, because of the contradictions and differences in the past, the main reason is to relieve the physical pain and mental emptiness. This addiction does not rule out that it contains the meaning of unforgettable old feelings. Living always needs some spiritual comfort and needs. When life is not satisfactory or powerless, especially when there is no other opportunity to supply such needs, people will easily go astray and take shortcuts. Yesterday I went to the library to read "The Big Split" and saw the preface written by Huang Liqun. I felt that I should not give up. Keep writing, venting or comforting, until the end of life, because this is the only way to prove that I am alive. Evidence is also the thing that keeps me addicted the most.
4. Friends and Lovers
Are there any friends who have parted ways because of disagreements or some principled issues? What I have experienced is more of a spontaneous disconnection, and their respective pursuits and views on life no longer overlap. In the film, the director and the actor and friends split and reunited, and even directly complained about it. The director personally went to the door to show him the "Addiction" that the actor's friend liked, and the two turned their fights into jade silk. One had the motivation to create and the other had the enthusiasm for acting. Nothing could not be resolved, especially when the two sides reached a certain level. At a young age, he is no longer young and self-willed. If he understands restraint and understanding, he can get rid of the knots by taking the initiative.
The most touching part of the film is the reunion between the director and his former lover, who reunited through "creation" by chance. Unforgettable for Banderas, who is full of tears, after the precipitation of time, the love that still has the temperature really touches people. Love does not mean that it must last forever, but to keep the first good experience in the heart, time will not let it expire or change, when it is destined to see you again, the time passes and the appearance is no longer, but you are still the one I loved at the time. Feeling, hug and kiss tightly. "You don't have to ask for forgiveness...As of today, no one or anything has fulfilled my life like you", a bit romantic and envious.
5. Mother
This is the section that makes me remember the most. In the dead of night, I often think of the time when I was with my mother. Perhaps the most tolerant and considerate person in the world is my mother. I used to be loyal to "do what I want to do because of my willfulness and perseverance." "I don't want to succumb to mainstream values like most people. I want to prove that even if I have nothing, I can live a wonderful life with my own efforts. There used to be hopeless hopes, but they soon disappeared. It took me ten years and I still failed to find an opportunity. Now it seems a bit naive and naive. Many things cannot be achieved with enough effort, but the only person around me who supports me is also my best confidant, but has left me forever. This heavy pain is the same as the director. , It's really hard to get out.
6. Childhood
Childhood may be a precious experience that no one can easily forget or abandon. In the film, Almodovar has two very wonderful designs, the coincidence of the painting and the fainting of consciousness awakening, and the wonderful cave like a dream. Some things are destined, and sexual orientation is awakened at that moment, which becomes an important turning point in life. My life was changed because of my childhood experience. What impressed me most was that when I was a child, I went to the cinema with my parents to watch "Titanic". It also changed the trajectory of my life and became my spiritual food. As we enter the twilight years, remembering those years will gradually become a habit, and will become more frequent, and the fragments will become more and more clear.
7. Creation
This film is actually biased towards the "Private Life of Almodovar", personal images and retrospectives, what Niu breaks is that it can have a certain "communication resonance" with the audience, as if seeing the future self. Emotions are not intensely exuded, or even adducted, and the denseness and affection contained in the calmness can be felt. Even if there is no ups and downs, it is particularly attractive. Banderas's winning of Cannes really deserves his name. The expression is full of content and emotions, everything is said without saying, it is hard not to be impressed, just like what he said in the film: "The best actor... He tried his best to endure tears." The result is not the most important thing. Experience is the more precious wealth in a person's life.
Layers of mosaic images and creative fun and charm are naturally reflected in the final work. Let's continue to create, to fight against the aging body and the pain of stagnant bottlenecks. It is not drugs that can't be quit, but the glory that belongs to the individual (not only the work but also the feedback of life). I thought of the words Kubrick said in his later years: "Anyone who is fortunate enough to be a director knows that although it may be as difficult as creating "War and Peace" on a bumper car in an amusement park, when you actually shoot When it's a good movie, there are few happy things in this life that can match this feeling."
