Life is like a play

At the beginning, the movie seemed to be a life tragicomedy that people have become accustomed to. A single mother and a son with a dream of a writer were suddenly interrupted by misfortune. The mother returned home to find the biological father of her son. A woman like this kind of handkerchief can watch it anytime. However, the traditional audience of Amodua is not a housewife. He always pays attention to marginalized people, drug users, meat sellers, homosexuals, transgender people... But these aliens don't make the film contain curious nature. What moves us is ordinary emotions, ordinary estrangements, ordinary dreams. Like the motto used by the actor Uma on stage and off stage: "I always rely on the kindness of strangers." It is because of common values ​​and common emotions that human beings have trust, and they can entrust everything to themselves because of accidental contact. .

The protagonist's mother Manuvela left his biological father and gave up her young actor dream in order to raise her son. This history has been kept hidden from her son, but it has caused the regret of the son who wants to be a playwright. In the film, we saw that she had two opportunities to use her acting talents. The first time it was work, false emotions, unexpectedly previewed my life. The second time was to fulfill the wishes of myself and my son. The fixed line said that grief came from it, venting the feelings I had accumulated for a lifetime. Who can not say that drama is like life and life is like drama.

Three women in a play. Manuvela, Uma, and Agora are the protagonists and are representatives of mature women; Rose and Nina are supporting roles and are representatives of young women. What is the great and cuteness of women? Comparing the two, it is not difficult to draw conclusions. What defines a woman is not only the physical characteristics, but also the characteristics of feelings and experience. No wonder Agrado proudly shared the content of plastic surgery for the size of a woman’s body, and concluded:
"Just like I told you, do An authentic woman has to pay a high price. But we can't be stingy with these things; because the closer you are to the way you dream, the more authentic."

    #2019Shanichi Women's Film Festival# 75/100, is still the familiar text and passionate color scheme. The structure is relatively more intuitive, and a group portrait of the "woman" is depicted. The part where the four people in the heroine's family are on the same scene is particularly wonderful and full of care.

    20190421@美奇Spanish Exhibition Review, Almodovar did not deliberately provocative, but conveyed the same strong emotions through strong and large tones, the women in his works are truly worthy of "ordinary and great" The appellation, women are firm and brave, women endure all hardships, women are all driving forces in life, "I always rely on the kindness of strangers" to be realized among women; whether it is a carrier or a special occupation including A woman who has changed from a man to a woman, Almodóvar's love is equal, and the word "respect" is the highest level of love; the scene of the five main women drinking champagne and joking is the happiest and most vivid scene, they are obviously irrelevant Even just met; love is better than resentment, and with such a movie, it strengthens the courage to live
