Before becoming a mother, she was herself

Bright and bright colors, sad music, the interweaving of drama and reality seems like reality and fantasy, like the tragic color of destiny, rough and strong shock and pain... Under the lens of Almodóvar, Spain's unique enthusiasm and Passion is evident. He tells the story, like the thick ink splashed on the picture scroll hitting the eyeball, like the dense and heavy notes beating in the ear, desire and sinking, intertwined love and hate, intertwined life, all the absurd and weird stories in the real world become Taking the usual scenes under his lens, Almodovar used his unique and sharp perspective to show the inner struggles and unease, pain and redemption of the marginalized people in the brief time of breaking free from the shackles of the world.

Yes, the female body is the container, but not the container for male desires, but the container for all emotions. They mourn and cry, they rejoice and laugh, they are born with such power as if nothing could bring them down, and fate could never make them bow their heads. Rather than forgiving men, they are forgiving themselves, of all the injustices and misery that life brings. In the moment of forgiving the souls of others, I am sure that their souls will also be redeemed.

    My sadness is nothing

    Rewatch. In terms of conception, it may be the highest part of Almodovar. The truth is always hidden in the darkness, but in the end neither the truth nor the darkness matters. The play within the play and the all about eve tribute are wonderful. Facing the devastating aftermath left by absent men (death, disappearance, unconsciousness), women are as persistent and splendid as blooming red flowers amid the twists and turns of encounters and goodbyes, and their roots are like emotional bonds. Entwined and symbiotic, even if life is full of tragedies, it cannot hurt them in the slightest.

All About My Mother quotes

  • Huma Rojo: There are people who think that children are made in a day. But it takes a long time, a very long time. That's why it's so awful to see your child's blood on the ground. A stream that flows for a minute yet costs us years. When I found my son, he was lying in the middle of the street. I soaked my hands in his blood and I licked them. Because it was mine. Animals lick their young, don't they? I'm not disgusted by my son. You don't know what it's like. In a monstrance of glass and topaz. I would put the earth soaked by his blood.

  • Agrado: I look like the Elephant Man!
