The film I watched recently, the film is not long, nor is it ups and downs, it is the kind of calm and tension. The title is full of imaginative and philosophical pictures.
The story is probably like this, the old director Salvador was very talented when he was young and won many honors. 32 years ago, because he was very dissatisfied with his movie "Taste", he has stopped filming until now. For decades, physical and mental pain has accompanied him, but finally one day, he re-watched the last film he made, and began to reverse his past views and reconcile with this film.
This also became the beginning of reconciliation between the director and the past. He began to find the actor he disliked before. By accident, the actor told the most real drama in his heart to the public, which led to his reunion with the gay man when he was young. Although the lover was married and had children, he also told him to visit.
He also saw his childhood self appear in the painting, which was from a mason who learned to read and write from him. It happened that the mason gave him physical enlightenment by accident, and he gave him cultural and educational enlightenment.
In the film, water is an important scene. The first scene is that the old director Salvador is immersed under the water. Life is born from the amniotic fluid. The water is quiet and gentle. He has touched his wounds to repair his body and comfort his spirit. The camera flickers to the riverside of his childhood, with his mother and his mother's neighbor women. The women were drying their clothes and singing, and little El Salvador smiled happily. And more importantly, he likes water, and the sound of water makes children want to pee. For him, "the cinema of childhood is full of urine smell, accompanied by the fragrance of jasmine flowers, and the breath of summer breeze."
The protagonist had a poor family when he was a child, lived in a cave with his parents, and was a gay man. From his life experience alone, it is difficult for most people to obtain direct empathy. What moved me was that he could one day have the tenderness to face the past calmly. He was detached from the past, the past was a play within a play, and his eyes filled with tears because of the play; he was also fused with the past forever, and he truly understood why he was himself.
