Raising crows

First of all, the heroine Anna is very impressive, with big eyes and black hair, innocent eyes and elegant temperament. And Carlos Saura’s film is about such a cute and smart girl who witnessed her mother’s depression and sickness and death, her father’s sudden death while dating her lover, her aunt’s affair with her father’s married comrades, and all kinds of things in the adult world. Under the ugly behavior, if you gradually turn away from the good nature and wait for the opportunity to kill grandma and aunt, you will become a hopeless and evil generation. The film uses multiple flashbacks and surreal methods to recall the lives of Anna and her deceased mother and father. When Anna is gradually reduced to hatred by the environment and intends to kill, the number of dead mothers is less and less or even no longer appearing in her imagination. In time and space, when Anna hummed the popular song over and over again and cursed the death of others over and over again, a once kind and innocent child was raised as a "crow". This metaphor alludes to the fact that it has gone deep in the seemingly peaceful environment. The bone marrow's society is ugly.

The technique is like Buñuel, and the atmosphere is fresh, without the lingering feminine taste of Buñuel's film. The role-playing line is very good, Anna is a goddess. The whole movie is like that Porque Te Vas, clear and sad.

Ana: Rosa, is it true that my mother always wore this cross?
Rosa: Of course. Grandmother gave it to her. This cross keeps the devil away.
Ana: And vampires too!
-
Ana: The only thing I remember very clearly, is that at the time, I was convinced my father was responsible for all the sadness that embittered the last years of my mother's life. I was convinced that it was he and he alone that had caused her illness and death.
