Tribute to Almodovar

A nun with AIDS, a transgender and A Streetcar Named Desire, and the three most important things in Manila's life, Esderban. One is her transgender husband, the other is her son who was in a car accident on his 17th birthday, and Lisa's son.

Been looking for Almodovar's "All About My Mother" for a long time and finally finished it today. Moved by the greatness of motherhood. The plot of "A Streetcar Named Desire" is played more than once in the film. Yes, when Stella left with her newborn child, it was the true portrayal of Marilla.

The transgender Esderban, the gay drama actor in the film, these are all tragedies. Fortunately, in the end, little Esderban was cured of AIDS, and Lisa's mother's attitude changed, all made us feel that human nature is still good.

You can't refuse such a film, the only thing you can do is to enjoy it quietly, and then be moved from the heart.

    The way you stand in front of a huge poster with human faces, the way you cry in the rainstorm, the way you stand in front of your ex-husband with tears talking about your son's blonde hair dancing wildly in the wind is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen Mother. Love is a great redemption. Almodovar's brilliance is no matter how sensitive the proposition is. Under his lens, the story is still warm and touching, and the frequent red and flavorful soundtrack also make the story more soulful.

    Transgender theme really only exudes such a moving drama glory in the hands of Almodovar! The mottled and large blocks of gorgeous colors and the nuanced compassionate feelings complement each other, and the light and shadow reflect the beauty of women. ——The beautiful boy who was surprised in the movie will be melancholy for a long time...

All About My Mother quotes

  • Manuela: My friend and her husband with the tits set up a bar here, on the Barceloneta. He spent the day in a tiny bikini, screwing everything he could, and giving her a hard time if she wore a bikini or even a miniskirt. The bastard! How could anyone act so macho with a pair of tits like that?

  • Manuela: Do you have any alcohol?

    Agrado: No, I drank it all last night.

    Manuela: I meant for disinfecting.
