born a woman

It's a 1999 movie, incredible.

All the female characters in the film are full of personality, and the scale of the subject matter is also very large, but they are handled in a compact and harmonious manner. There are trans women on drugs, there are prostitutes who stand on the street with confidence, and there are soulful lesbian actors. They all have one thing in common, they all dare to be their own women. The group photo is always missing half, but the lines can be memorized clearly. Nuns are not religiously imprisoned to conceive transgender children. The chest is filled with silicone but the words are the most sincere. In the film, the scene of four women sitting at the hostess' house talking and laughing naturally presents a particularly harmonious female power to the audience.

The plot paved the way for a deeper meaning. The relationship between the nun and the heroine changed from helper and beneficiary to beneficiary and helper. The deeper connection between them is that they have two children with the same woman. , they all show the strong side of women as mothers without exception. A Yue's highlight moment is in the theater, the spotlight shines on her, she can still speak her past experience calmly, she is a free and easy woman.

The only one who appears to be weak is the heroine alone. The heroine's expression is not well-prepared many times. She was originally a character with a very rich level, but her performance is very flat.

    The look and feel of the B+/second brush is slightly reduced, especially the rhythm of the last 1/3 is a bit tight. At first glance, I don’t have a particularly deep feeling about gender; the second brush feels that Almodovar’s aesthetics and its "female" concept are actually highly embedded in each other: the character plot color editing is strongly saturated in all aspects, and the whole is always restrained. Below the boiling point. Therefore, the abstract, extension and openness of the "female" can be completed while creating a concrete "life". "The Woman on the Edge of Breakdown" seems to have the same reasoning. His photographs have never been narrow "women", but more like constructing a "female" conceptual space. / Delicate and sincere, the story of dog-blood becomes soft and euphemistic. Women and motherhood are no longer dependent on gender but purely on emotion, without a hint of missionary. In contrast, "New Girlfriend" is more like a female and LGBTQ proposition. It's hard to imagine that so many gorgeous colors covering the screen are completely unobtrusive. The soundtrack is full of passion from Spain. The play in the play is still the highlight, and love is still the only thing surging in and out of the play.

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.
