I finally got the pain and glory of Almodovar. 19 years of SIFF screenings. Who would have thought about it two years later, ah ah ah ah, this is a film with the autobiographical nature of Almodovar: as glory everywhere Famous directors around the world have lifted their coats of glory and coexisted with them. They have been entangled by various diseases all year round. Depression and repeated episodes of pain are all over the body. Directly pointing to the soul. Four levels of reconciliation have been completed in uncontrollable pain, recurring childhood memories, and self-analysis. : Reconciliation with the movie partner who once made each other’s achievements, reconciliation with the same-sex couple who loved me so much in my youth, and the mother who loves me forever, reconciliation with my tough and tolerant mother. Two years later, I finally reconciled with this movie.” This is like an introduction that triggered a series of reconciliation actions. Reconciliation means self-salvation. At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist said that he is an atheist. To relieve the pain, he became addicted to his partner’s home The last painting of his childhood evokes his memories. On the summer day when the mason painted him, he realized his sexuality. Through the memory, he seemed to know himself again, regained his creative inspiration, and started to face the treatment no longer. The bright and eye-catching colors of the whole movie of drug dependence and the sincere and full feelings of the male lead make the painful state of the male lead in the movie, the thinking after childhood memories, and the emotional fluctuations after communicating with others appear to be particularly powerful. It’s so beautiful. There is a shot of a cherry blossom tree in the blue sky. There are a few clouds floating beside the tree, which look like Van Gogh’s apricot flowers.

Pain and Glory quotes

  • Salvador Mallo: Life disgusts me like a useless medicine. And it is then when I feel with clear visions how easy it would be to get away from this tedium if I had the simple strength of wanting to really push him away.

  • Federico Delgado: "Love is not enough to save the person you love." It's in your monologue.

    Salvador Mallo: Let's not talk about the monologue, it's a very sad text.
