    Sadomasochistic stories, crazy love, the power to see and be watched, the power to watch, play in play (a self-parody of [the woman on the brink of mental breakdown]), self-referential film, and the struggle for narrative power. The old man is simply the incarnation of Franco-thus the film is also a social fable in Spain after the lifting of the martial law. In addition, this is certainly not a film...

    It is impossible for me to think it is not boring just because it is an Almodovar movie. This narrative is really too boring and tells such a boring...

    It seems that from this movie, Almodovar has become more eccentric than true. The warm colors in the picture are still there, and Penelope Cruz is also glamorous, but the emotions between the characters are no longer there, and even the music is no longer the same as before. Overall it was as if he was anxious to finish the...

    The worst Almodovar movie I've seen so far

    The worst Almodovar film I have seen so far.
    I really want to make a two-star.

    Although I fully understand:
    when a storyteller,
    he puts the heaviest and most tangled thing in his heart, which may be the same motif or several motifs,
    in various forms, after repeating it seven or eight times,
    What he...

    Like eating a bowl of uncooked instant noodles,

    I was in a panic.

      If it weren't for Amo being a national treasure of Spain, I would have thought that this story was copied directly from "Friends" or "Story Club" (thanks to Sister Feng's recommendation, I didn't miss these two economic classics). These days, buddies love to watch the three...

Broken Embraces quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Modelo: What's your name?

    Mateo Blanco: Harry Caine.

    [voiceover]

    Mateo Blanco: I used to be called Mateo and I was a film director. I was always tempted by the idea of being someone else, as well as myself. Living one's life wasn't enough, so I invented a pseudonym, Harry Caine, an adventurer who, as fate would have it, became a writer. I had him sign all the scripts and stories I wrote. For years, Mateo Blanco and Harry Caine shared the same body, mine. But a moment came when suddenly I could only be Harry Caine. I became my pseudonym. A self-made writer made by himself. There was just one unforseen detail. Harry Caine would be a blind writer.

    [in Spanish, quoting English subtitles]

    Ray X: That's what we've got re-edited.

    Mateo Blanco: Do you think it's worth carrying on, or is it crazy?

    Diego: What? I pissed myself laughing. I'm dying to see what happens.

    Judit García: It's wonderful, Mateo!

    Diego: It's hilarious. You have to re-release it.

    Mateo Blanco: No, what matters is to finish it. Films have to be finished, even if you do it blindly.
