The movie is great! Manuela is a typical mother image, capable and courageous, gentle and tolerant, mature and stable. The woman's secret is revealed from the death of her son. A good movie is like an onion peeled off layer by layer with clear layers. The core of motherhood is the boundless love, accepting everything that is possible and impossible. The clam shell gave birth to pearls, and the compassion and Buddha nature on her body shone on those around her. Penelope Cruz is so beautiful, when she's lying on her side on the couch, I know the "Spanish Tulip" lives up to its name. Lusa is both a mother and a daughter. She is a character who transitions from a daughter to a mother, reflecting a typical example of a part of the unworldly who ate the forbidden fruit and was forced to become a mother. Belonging to the type of girl that everyone has in their youth, they are often seduced by people and things outside their cognition, which stimulates the primitive sprouting of human beings. If you look closely, the characters are full and full of personality, and there is a certain symbolic meaning behind them, representing that type of group, Manuela and Lusa, Ayue and Lola, Yanmi and Nina. A very mature and highly completed film, its charm is also bold and fresh.

Almodovar is worthy of being half the sky in Spanish films. All the absurdity and strangeness in his films are just right and natural. The theme of the era is still hotly debated. Among them, the scale and grasp are difficult for other directors to match.

    Why didn't I see anything good? Did I not take it seriously?

    "Three weeks, a few weeks, a few months, two years..." You see, this is Almodovar, and the story comes slowly in the flow of time, accompanied by the soundtrack, and is just like that. The story told is captivating, it's about a couple of mothers who love their children...

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!
