Almodovar's movie, I don't want to miss any because I like the way he uses colors, the stories he tells, all have its strong message while very exotic... these storeis are not usually seen in a comparatively conservative country. I appreciate the way Almodovar treats bodies: it's just body! so natural, so beautiful.
So I went to los abrazos rotos, without hestitation. After vispassana, I would say I could see things in a new perspective and I can be more the playwrighter than a movie watcher.
I find aspirations from Mateo/Harry, whichever name he chose to be himself. He mentioned the thread of a story: how an abandoned child loves his ruthless father while his business partner, Judy, put her idea on his documentary thought as a sad story. There is always something bigger behind stories. Diego, Judy's son, is another secret. I think first, Diego is a great child that any mom would like to have. In the end of the movie, Judy apoligized to Diego for letting him grow up under her great hatred. She later confessed to Diego that Mateo is his father. So that Mateo is the only one doesn't know the truth, but with two greatest loves. Second, I find Judy's love to Mateo from lovers to life-long friends admirable. When Mateo fell in love with Lena, she must suffer a lot while Diego was not in a good health condition. But she, bore all the secrets that brought her guilt and regret for years, chose to be with Mateo, as a friend, as a business partner. Such kind of attitude requires how liberate mind and attitude!
