The film starts with the death of a patient. The linear electrocardiogram makes people feel depressed. The director did not describe any state of the deceased. We are guessing, who is this? When the screen cuts to Manuela's home, the role of an organ transplant liaison shifts to that of a single mother. In a warm family, there is a boy who loves writing and wants to write his mother into a play. Esderban, he wants to watch the performance of the mother's organ donation course, but the director's picture makes the audience have a real illusion, as if Manuela is really accepting the grief of the loss of her relatives, as if the director is implying us Niura's upcoming tragic event - the loss of Esderban. Manuela took her son to watch "A Streetcar Named Desire" on her birthday. Manuela's expression, who was waiting at the door, suddenly changed to an abnormally frightened expression. It was because Esderban was almost hit by a car when she left the cafe. . Once again, it was hinted that Esderban's birthday might be the day he left his mother forever. Layers of foreshadowing set up suspense for the film, and also whetted the audience's appetite.
Esderban has always wanted to know about his father and the life experience of his other half. He touched the photo that was torn in half. There was only his mother in the photo. Where is the photo of the other half? Where is his father? What is he like? As if the father's story was about to appear, the mother and son waiting for autographs in the rain, the mother finally promised Esderban to tell him everything about his father, but was abruptly stopped by a sudden car accident. The grief of a mother is heart-wrenching, especially for a mother who is raising her child alone, the child is everything to herself and all hope for the future. The car accident in Esderban was not full of blood. The director portrayed Manuela's pain completely from an emotional point of view, running to her son, but crying weakly. Esderban left, with an unfinished wish: the other half of his life, left. Next, the donation of Esdurban's heart, how painful it is for a mother who lost her only child, but our protagonist has always been saddened without any resentment. After the great pain, she flew to Barcelona with her son's unfinished wish. . Look for the one she once fled desperately - Lola.
The story of Barcelona began to be staged. Transgender people and homosexuality are not derogatory terms, nor do they have any discriminatory meaning. The director showed their experiences and feelings with a tolerant and understanding heart. So delicate and so shocking.
Manuela meets her friends from decades ago, Ayue, and Sister Lusa, the stars of "A Streetcar Named Desire" Yan Mi and Nina. These five emotionally tormented women come together to showcase women who possess the qualities of tolerance, understanding, and tenacity.
Character Analysis:
Manuela: The representative of these five women. She has a strong personality charm, which comes from her persevering heart, kindness to humanity, tolerance and understanding. When Manuela first watched Stella's life in A Streetcar Named Desire, she wept, because it was like a painful experience with Manuela and Lola, and the tears were full of tears. It is painful, but from the expression of the protagonist, we can also feel a kind of perseverance, a kind of perseverance that is uniquely derived from women. In Manuela in Barcelona, the grief of the loss of a child is buried deep, but every time someone mentions Esderban, it is grief-stricken. any reduction. Even though Manuela, who can already laugh in the film, is still in grief when Lusa's mother mentions her son, this wound is deeply rooted in Manuela's heart, a permanent wound, but this strong heart Women, put this grief in the deepest part of your heart, and help Lusa, Nina, Yanmi and Ayue, and let Esderban (Lusa's son) who is suffering from AIDS finally overcome the disease, this is love Strength, a power that is especially prominent in women, can overcome all difficulties. The second time Manuela went to watch "The Streetcar of Desire", Manuela, who entered the dressing room, once had my doubts, why did she go to see Nina and Yanmi, because they made her lose her love 's son? When I saw Manuela helping Yanmi find Nina, I was ashamed of my own narrow-mindedness. This is an all-encompassing woman who showed me the powerful and forgiving spiritual power of a great mother. She is not a weak individual, but an individual within a strong collective of women. Manuela watched "A Streetcar Named Desire" over and over again, and recited Stella's lines in it. I think "recite" may be very inaccurate. It was "Manuela" on the stage. What Niula said was not her lines, but her inner monologue. Self-talk over and over again seems to be accumulating energy, accumulating energy in emotional torture. Manuela, finally stood on the stage, as if it was a play written by Esderban for her, and as if she was acting out her own life, the empty stage left Manuela crying, lingering in her heart for a long time. . It was the release of the pain in her heart. Don't say that women's crying is a sign of cowardice. We are releasing our feelings. It is too much, and we bear too much. But this does not mean that women are weak, Manuela has a firm, tolerant, understanding heart, who would dare to deny her strength, this great mother, a great woman, is a representative of the female group, and is shown in the film in every audience's heart. before. She helped the pregnant Lusa, even if it was Lola's flesh and blood, Lola - that A man who had caused her pain and left her alone to raise Esderban. She went to help Yanmi, even though her son was killed by a car while asking for their autograph, she still helped them with a tolerant heart. The image of a tall mother is deeply etched in my mind. Let me respect. Manuela hates Lola, the man who combines the sins of men and women, but forgives her at the end of the film! Forgive the person who made Lusa pregnant and finally die, forgive the person who ransacked A Yue's house, forgive the person who filled her with despair and pain, and forgive the person she refused to tell for seventeen years. Son, the father is her - Lola's this person, I am shocked! Very shocking! Manuela brought Lusa's son, also named Esderban, who had the same name as Lola. When she went to see Lola, she was so proud and told Lola with love that her Esderban was the most precious thing about herself. photos of his son and a script for his mother gave her, all without any hatred! This is - Manuela.
Lusa: A nun who is full of kindness to help others, tolerant and considerate, Lusa's mother has contempt for prostitutes, shemales, etc., which makes it difficult for Lusa to communicate with her mother. But she is unusually close to Manuela. I think this is not unusual, because Manuela has women's tenacity and tolerance, understanding and forgiveness. These factors made Manuela's unique femininity exude to Lusa's closeness and trust in this woman she had only known for a few hours. After Lusa learned that she and her child were infected with AIDS, she was also in pain. She was in the same pain as Manuela. She was tortured by emotions, but after crying, she chose to be strong. It was also the strength of women that moved us once again. What touched me the most was that on the way Lusa went to the hospital to give birth, she made a special detour to the square where her father went to see her father for the last time. She knew that this was the last time she saw her father. She was suffering from high blood pressure and AIDS. Knowing that he can't get through this, he quietly explained his death, and watched the beautiful square of childhood and his kind father, the dog. gone. When people face death, silence or silence represents an invisible inner strength. She also named her child Esderban, the same name as Manuela's son, and the same name as Lola's original name. This is a continuation of life, endless.
Ayue is a comedy character who brings laughter to this sad film. I think it's more of an optimistic spirit. Even if Ayue is injured by a man, looted by Lola, and has no life security, she can still survive. Facing life with optimism and confidence,
even if she devalues herself, she never feels that she is inferior to others, and she is optimistic. Although she sometimes speaks a bit bluntly, but A Yue this The characters are so cute and I admire them. But at the same time, I think we should pay more attention to the life of transgender people, as a vulnerable group in society: their life is disordered, unstable, secure, and with the lack of self-control (a commonality of human beings), they are more likely to embark on self-destructive road. How to solve their survival problem is still a difficult problem to be solved.
Yan Mi and Nina: The sincere feelings between the same sex are touching.
Analysis of the scene of the film:
The director showed Manuela's home very warmly. The brightly colored fruits on the table, the warm orange-red in the living room, the bright red wallpaper in the boy's bedroom, and the advertisement of cute Dudu diapers are funny and warm.
The huge Yanmi poster and Manuela set off each other, which is the tension between the two women, which is displayed in bright red.
A large red poster, Manuela's red top, and a red electric kettle in the dressing room. Maybe red is the director's favorite color, but I think red has a kind of tension, an invisible powerful force. More representative of women's colors.
The director's switching of the screen sometimes turns fast, sometimes stagnates. When Manuela took her son to watch "A Streetcar Named Desire", the lines of the play corresponded to the huge poster of Yan Mi, as if they were silently telling a story, a story about Female strong inner personality. As Manuela explained to Yanmi and Nina the reason for her replacement, Manuela painfully recalled the disaster that happened on the night of Esdurban's seventeenth birthday. I saw Yan Mi turned his head, as if the scene had reappeared in front of the three of them. Esderban in the rain slapped the window, accompanied by Manuela's painful sobbing, which made our hearts tear, and it hurt deeply. of.
Summary:
"All about my mother" is a film that reflects the powerful inner strength of women. It shows the audience the beautiful qualities of women's perseverance, tolerance, understanding and so on. At the same time, let us pay more attention to the vulnerable groups of transgender people and homosexuals.
