Comment on the movie she said.

With all the great success and achievements of her mother, Amodova was silent for a long time. Will this "tell her" bring more surprises or a little disappointment?

Tell her a story about friendship, love, loneliness, survival and dialogue. Like all Arabic movies, this story begins with a woman. The difference is that this time it is not about the woman herself, but about how two men love women and how to finally achieve a precious friendship. The main characters in the film are all men, and the story is also about men, which is really hard to see in Arabic movies. Such a plot is not a surprise, but something new. However, no matter how innovative it is, it is still a work with pure Arabic flavor. For a master like Amodova, it may not be a bad thing to keep it. Timely Spanish humor runs through, from time to time to get rid of people's heavy feelings and give people some seasoning, but it will not destroy the complete atmosphere at all, which not only adds a lot of color to the film, but also fully embodies Amodova's profound skill.

There are many excellent actors active in Amodova's film family, and we have to admit that they are important contributors to the success of Amodova's films. Benigno, a male nurse troubled by loneliness, is played by young actor Javier Camara. It should be said that his performance successfully propped up the whole movie, which is the biggest highlight of the whole movie. Mark, played by Argentine actor Dario, is a journalist who runs around with few words, and his performance is also very brilliant.

While stepping into Amodova's films, people are more and more afraid, and we can never enter his inner world and accept his way of thinking. Perhaps this is also the unique charm of Arab films.

Benigue said: Talk to her, even if she can't answer.

Yes, in our life, too many people don't want to talk when they need to; There are too many people who talk nonsense when they have nothing to say; Some people can't speak, although they can't express themselves, they can understand your heart; Some people can't understand what you're saying even if they can listen and speak … you know what I'm saying.

As the curtain rose slowly, two female dancers performed a sad ballet duet on the stage, and a man stumbled and moved the chair in front of him. Kyle, a travel writer, watched the performance on the stage and was moved to tears. Benigue, a young nurse, sat next to him. He stared at Marco silently, trying to tell him that he was deeply moved ... In order to encourage backwardness, the Spanish government sent another film "Sunshine Monday" to compete for the best foreign language film at the 2002 Oscar. After the film was released, critics, fans and Oscar voters all praised it. When the film premiered at the New York Film Festival, The New York Times film critics commented on the film as "unforgettable and the most mature film brought to the screen by the director since its release". Almodova began filming as early as the 1970s, and his masterpieces include Woman with Broken Hearts and Tie Me Up! Tie me up! ",and so on. 1999 won the Oscar for best foreign language film with the film Everything about Mom. Throughout Almodova's previous creative style, the new film Tell Her has made considerable changes and breakthroughs. In an interview with Reuters, Almodova said: "Tell her is a film about how to communicate, choose different ways to express ideas, lonely men who are hurt by love, and the influence left by the deceased to friends and family." "I don't know how to explain this movie. It's hard to describe it in words. This involves many things ... "He also said that this film has more personal thoughts and feelings than his previous films, and he himself has the protagonist benigno.

Part of Kyle's personality is that he often feels alienated from the world like benigno, and it takes a long time to "sew up the wound of passion" like Kyle. In the past, Almodova's films were mostly about women, usually starting with a female protagonist, but Tell Her was an exception. This film mainly tells about two male characters, benigno and Kyle. Although Benigue is more or less feminine, on the contrary, the two heroines (Lydia and Alicia) spend most of their time in a coma and silence on the screen. If movies such as My Secret Flower and Everything about Mother explore the relationship between men and women from the perspective of women, then Almodova here explores the world of men and women from the perspective of men. Almodovar's consistent style is like this. Women are lonely. Their beautiful ideal can't be realized in the male world. They are always hurt by men again and again, and they struggle in despair and pain all their lives. For example, in all the things about my mother, Lola is an asshole, an asshole and a pervert. He hurt his mother Manula, but Manula gave birth to a son, Itban, who raised him until he was seventeen. Etban died in a car accident at the age of seventeen. Although his mother Manula is still alive, she seems to be dead. Lola also hurt Rosa, a young girl, and infected her with HIV. Rosa, who was in her prime, gave birth to a child for Lola, but died on the operating table during childbirth. The child had to fight his father's virus from the moment of birth. But "Tell her" as a whole is a film full of warmth. It is elegant and romantic, with Plato's spiritual characteristics, and its emotional kink is very touching. I believe many cinema audiences will cry for this sensational film. Different from his shocking grotesque techniques in the past, Almodova, the director this time, is more like a sophisticated, calm and powerful wise man who is no longer sharp-edged. But this does not mean that the director began to retreat to conservatism. Almodovar's consistent tendency to despise authority and resist moral customs is still obvious. Benigno, the hero of the film, is kind and gentle, longing for love, but isolated from the world and lacking the necessary social skills. Emotionally speaking, his unrequited love for Alicia is sympathetic and sentimental, but rationally speaking, it is a male nurse's sexual assault on his female patient. What a strange love is this? It may make sense, but it doesn't seem reasonable. Almodova once again challenged the traditional religious ideas and moral customs with a specific situation that contradicted rationality. This is the most unique charm of Almodova's films. Few directors can combine popular dramas with grotesque themes like him.

There are two lovers in the film, Kyle and Lydia. Ma is Benigue's only friend, and there are many close ties in their hearts. Lydia has a slim figure. She is full of energy, confidence and masculinity in the bullring. Her image is easily reminiscent of1Modigliani, an Italian painter in the late 9th century and early 20th century. A painting by Amedi. The ambiguous gender temperament in her body is also the consistent demeanor in Almodova's films. Tell her it's mainly a movie to express communication. Interestingly, the two protagonists in the film communicate better with their respective women in the unconscious state than in the awake state. Sunny, taciturn women sunbathe in wheelchairs, while men cut their hair and trim their nails, whispering in their ears, having fun and letting spring pass. Similar contrast makes the film full of irony. Is perfect communication possible at the expense of complete silence of one party? If the reality makes love full of obstacles, is it necessary to exchange this cruel way for equality?

Talk to her also shows Almodova's talent for capturing daily details in detail, which is different from his usual rough naturalistic style. Almodova said that a director can't always repeat himself in one movie after another. "After making ten films, I almost became a trademark ... I hate that my film is called Almodova." The details in the film are very delicate. For example, benigno combed Alicia's hair carefully, bathed her, moved her joints, massaged her muscles to prevent muscle atrophy, and turned her body to prevent bedsores. The camera carefully expresses a deep love that goes deep into the skin, and also captures the delicate femininity of Benigue Nuo men. Maybe, as he said, only by doing so can a man touch a woman's subtle nerves. For example, the bullfight is about to begin, and Lydia, who is light in posture, is about to appear. She put on rose stockings and a gold thread buttonless shirt with buttons set in Phnom Penh ... all these gorgeous and smooth details fully show Almodova's master talent. Speaking of "Tell her", what people talk about most is the black-and-white "movie".

-"The Narrowed Lover" was also written and directed by Almodovar. This is the strangest passage in the film, but the wonderful music combined with the actor's elastic movements is also beautiful. Almodovar used this passage to subtly conceal benigno's sexual behavior towards Alicia. If expressed in a naturalistic way, it is obviously inconsistent with the style of the whole film. Almodovar's control of time makes the narrative very compact and smooth. A movie is like a ripe fruit, slowly peeling off the petals and then revealing the stone. Many flashbacks and flashbacks in the film ensure the linear narrative of the film. The past events of the two heroes are represented by flashbacks, and the subtitles on the screen are mainly used before flashbacks. Almodovar has always loved red, which symbolizes life and passion, as well as the desire for love and lust. It also reflects the Spanish nation's love for gorgeous colors, life and passion. The gorgeous picture of the film certainly benefits from the strong sense of color peculiar to the Spanish director, and is also partly attributed to the masterpiece of photographer Javier Aquiselob, who accurately conveys the director's intention to let warmth and indifference coexist with poverty. The gorgeous scenes and gloomy moments in the film are very enjoyable. For example, there is a stunning passage in the film, in which Kyle accompanied Lydia to listen to Brazilian singers singing on a summer night. The lights were dim and the audience was intoxicated. Then Marco ran out alone with tears in his eyes. ...
