@coconutqt @coconutqt
Not to mention that Amodovar is one of the biggest perpetrators of -magically thrown together – “happy endings” .. Ever!
@coconutqt wow… could you be anymore arrogant …
and nice logic..
So apparently if you don’t get down on your knees and figuratively or literally – blow Almodovar off (he’d like that) .. this atomatically makes you an uneducated film viewer who only likes the annual summer blockbuster??
Oh and how ironic is that while you accuse me of liking the schmaltzy US films when you hero almodavar MAIN INFLUENCES ARE Hollywood FILMS!!!..
@pugghead I would understand that one might not like a film, but you obviously don’t like Almodovar at all, all his movie reviews you have something bad to say. I personally didn’t like Broken Embraces but that does not mean I have to be calling Almodovar a bad film director as you do on all of his films.
@pugghead. I’m not surprised about your comment. The Anglo-Saxon speaking world can’t really understand the meaning of Almodovar’s films. Most American directors would not dare to go to the places Almodavar goes. Since I take the Ausies are a mini version of the Americans. I can see why you were disappointed. Please remember Almodovar is Spanish and in his culture not everything has to be pretty or smooth as is the case of American Films that everything has to end with a “Happy there-after”
