say anything

Because of the unfamiliar social background style presented in the film, to be honest, I was not particularly immersed and believed in the process of watching. But even so, I can realize how calm and optimistic the image of the "mother" the director is trying to show is in the storm. This focuses on the heroine's choices after one shock after another, experiencing her boyfriend leaving without saying goodbye to her son for more than ten years, raising her son alone for more than ten years, resigning to meet his son's wish in a sudden car accident to find his father who has never heard of him, and encountering a car accident that indirectly caused his son They became friends in the end, and after learning that their ex-boyfriend had made a kind nun girlfriend pregnant and left without saying goodbye, she played the role of a nun's mother to take care of the nun, and after the nun died of illness, she chose to raise the baby alone. Perhaps other films will describe one of these events in detail about how this event destroyed the normal life of the heroine. There is no right or wrong choice, and it is even more popular at the moment, because women's pain needs to be seen, and it seems that only magnification and repetition can make these pains visible. But the director's choice of this film is to let her chat and drink with old and new female friends in the colorful setting, go shopping with her girlfriend in the bright sunshine, and realize her dream on the stage of the drama. Looking at it at the moment, this may make people feel that this has smoothed out all the shocks that happened to her, as if everything can pass easily, and they will ignore their pain and more natural injuries. But the power of this calm is real, so why bother. The clever thing is that there are two transgender prostitution practitioners in this film, one looks unremarkable, and the other looks "beautiful as a fairy". Constantly "playing the world", stealing chickens and dogs and constantly abandoning them. The unattractive one became one of the female friends of the heroine in the movie who often got together. The one who is "beautiful as a god" only appears at the end, fulfilling the further sublimation of the heroine's personality. At this point, the director's definition of women seems to have emerged. No matter what it is, he will definitely not be a transgender protector who is not dared to be called easily by women today, but who wants to be called "a human with upturned breasts".

    Comedy has a tragic core, and it is reversed when it comes to Almodovar. The tragic story is so warm and moving, but the hard life exudes the brilliance of human nature. Prostitutes, transsexuals, and feminism have all been diluted in motherhood, becoming tolerant and commonplace. The bright colors used on the screen are the same cheerful attitude as the protagonists, but beneath this, the pathos of life flickers.

    My sadness is nothing

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.
