On the official website of "Tell Her", Almodovar said: "Tell Her" is the story of two men, lonely, and a long recovery from emotional trauma. It also tells about the lack of communication between partners, monologues in front of the silent person, until that person wakes up and speaks.
"Speak to Her" is a movie about love, but also a movie about loneliness and communication. After reading some film reviews, most of them only talked about the former, but the latter is the essence. In this age of indifference and selfishness, many people suffer from "aphasia" and lose the ability to communicate with others, including myself. I am afraid of getting along with people, and would rather face the screen than face to face. Is my life too mediocre? Am I too ignorant and tasteless? Or am I not loving life and life?
Benino said: Talk to her, even if she can't answer. When one party is completely silent, the other party has the opportunity to say what is in his heart. This is a sad thing. In many cases, language cannot help us understand each other. We are faced with the difficulties of talking and listening, expressing and understanding together. There are too many people in our lives who are reluctant to speak when they need to speak, too many people are talking when they have nothing to say, and there are people who cannot understand what you are saying even if they can hear it. On the contrary, true communication and communication do not require language, but love from the heart. It was Benino's love, not words, that really awakened Alicia, but Alicia knew nothing. Our love is lonely after all, because we cannot warm each other. Marco's love is introverted. He didn't say anything to Lydia, but silently stared at her who had become a vegetable. Once full of hope, he knew that he was not her lover when Lydia could not express it, and they would never know each other, no matter when he was awake or in a coma. In the end, Lydia's death may be a relief for Marco, and his travel is more like an escape, when we can't face our emotions.
"Say to Her" is almost a perfect movie. The beautiful Andalusian scenery, the dazzling bullring, the quiet, quiet and warm hospital by the pond at night, are full of colors, but they are just right. The two dances at the beginning and the end make people feel at ease. The soundtrack is timely and precise, and Cucurrucucu Paloma sings to the heart. The most memorable one is the tears in the first scene of the equine, and the tears of the man are very touching. When Marco went to the prison to visit Benino, the two people's hierarchical faces in the mirror were also unforgettable. The meeting of Marco and Alicia has a fateful meaning, the meeting of two redeemed hearts.
