What is our last strength

There is such a woman. She married early. Her husband was an actor who acted with her in a stage play. A man who ranted at his wife and became a "prostitute" after undergoing surgery. This woman left sad with her child and went to another city to live for 16 years, until her son was killed in a car accident. In order to tell her husband's death, she returned to the city where she was, looking for her husband while earning a living. But I ran into the actress who caused her son's car accident, and also ran into the woman after her husband had another romantic relationship. She was pregnant and was infected with AIDS.
I dare not ask the sentence "If you were her, what would you do", because she had too unfortunate experience to apply to anyone, it seems incredible. So I continue.
The woman forgave the actress and became her assistant, working sincerely until she was forced to tell the truth.
This woman accepted the debt owed by her husband and took care of the pregnant AIDS woman until she gave birth and died. Then continue to take care of the baby.
This woman saw her husband who had become infertile, forgave him, and showed him the newborn baby and pictures of his dead son.
If you want to think that this is a film that focuses on creating images similar to the bitter woman in "Desire", then you are wrong. This is indeed a gloomy film, not only gloomy, but also fornication, because there are many men who become women in this film, and the description is not weak. In addition, this film can also sublimate the theme, reflecting the chaotic Spanish nightlife at that time, or the dictatorship of Argentina.
But none of these are mentioned. When the film music ends, you will only realize: This is the mother. Just like the Chinese translation of this film, "All About Mother". There are supporting actresses around this miserable heroine, who are also mothers and are equally unfortunate. Because of the common ground of her mother, she can forgive and bear, and let her smile float in her life, even though there is an abyss of sadness washed by tears. Because you understand, so tolerate.
The clever Spanish director Almodóvar used bright tones and a cheerful rhythm. Only when we see the tears in the eyes of those women, will we realize a bit of bitterness. And this negative contrast makes the mixed emotions appear tortuous. So, some are clear, some are bleak, some are cheerful, some are sad. Regardless, we were finally moved.
Not to mention these piles of misery, even if one of them is separated and added to the screenwriters who write the weak Liu Fufeng groaning youth drama all day long, it is enough to film 40 episodes and earn enough cheap tears of boring housewives. But life is no better than youth idol drama, its true cruelty is often intimidating. What power can keep us moving forward, against the suffocating boringness of life, against the terrible news of life, Almodovar's film tells you: After crying, smile and forgive. Kindness, always like that sunshine. There are always some mothers, and there are always women, let you see the flowers of human nature, blooming.
