      Crazy comedy with mixed flavors

      It's always been that tone, and it hasn't changed since the beginning, and that's the defining mark of Almodóvar's films. In this early masterpiece, the director has been able to master a variety of comedy methods that recur in classic works in the future, and laymen who do not know this way always think it is a farce.

      In my opinion, a careful director has created a very ingenious script, using some nonsensical coincidences to string together characters with distinct personalities...

      Joke: "The Woman on the Brink"

      I haven't watched Woman on the Brink in a long time because the title makes me envision the character's neurotic, nervous, hysterical nature. I'm not in the mood to appreciate other people's tears, so I put it aside.

      But the result was beyond my expectation. is comedy. A sweethearted man and a few infatuated women. A woman is desperately trying to find a man who leaves her. But in the search found that they no longer need to search. What if he doesn't come back. What he said was a...

      Men's defunctionality and women's self-awakening

      As the trigger point of the conflict between the three women, Ivan is not directly portrayed in the movie. On the contrary, his image is constantly being rendered and exposed little by little through the discovery of women. Wife Lucia becomes a crazy avenger after Ivan’s abandonment. As a mother, she hates her son because she doesn’t want to think of her husband. At the end of the film, she wears a cute and sweet pink suit, but her bizarre eye makeup expresses her inner madness and...

      Assassination wearing CHANEL

      This movie is an assassination wearing CHANEL. Drag racing, shootout. Both sides are women.

      The man may be fainted by the drug. Or be hijacked. Or waiting to be redeemed.


      The woman who was blown by the wind to the rear was more handsome than Tom Cruise. Cooler than Keanu Reeves.

      And the woman who hid in the car was splashed with juice in her eyes and still insisted on chasing. It is indeed tougher than Schwarzenegger and wiser than Gandorf....

      2018.03.08 The song is so good! It's also a typical Almodovar, the plot is exquisitely set, and it always ends happily. At that time, Banban was a little animal petted and petted by her sisters. The taxi driver was the highlight, and even I was moved when I cried with him.

      B+ / The slightly peculiar Almodovar, the use of color is not only bright collocation, but the strengthening of "red", the early camp style is regained, the indoor drama is heavily drama style, and the wonderful type conversion in the middle and back sections, But the core is comedy. Men (policemen) pretend to be serious with political topics, while women say fuck off with collapse and love, which is...

    Evaluation action

    The films directed by Pedro Almodóvar Caballero are generally women, and the film is also. When a woman is dumped by a man, she is very painful, and even desperate to live. This is a common thing in life. However, it was this woman who was dumped who rushed to the airport anxiously to rescue the man who dumped her. Is this often in life? Perhaps this is the love of a woman for a man-selflessness, dedication, "retribution to the enemy"....

    • Paulina Morales: She must turn herself in, go to jail, and let the jury decide her case.

      Pepa: I don't understand.

      Paulina Morales: She's committed a crime.

      Pepa: Her only crime was falling in love and being afraid. I'd do the same.

      Paulina Morales: I'm sure.

    • Iván: Life means nothing without you. - Will you marry me? - A million nights wouldn't be enough - I can't live without you. - I love you, desire you, need you. - That night in the jungle was heaven. - Let's get married again. - You're the geisha of my life. Sayonara. - With you by my side, I don't need success. - I'm willing to accept you as you are. - Baby, some things are unmistakably American. - I'm all yours. - I accept you as you are.

    • Iván: How many men have you had to forget? Say something nice. Lie. Tell me you've been waiting for me - and you'd die if I didn't return. Say you still love me as I love you.
