Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
「母亲」本身确实可以作为奇情与历史的锚点，但全片看下来总觉得稍微欠点，也许关于Janis（及所有出现的个体母亲）与历史的联系、对历史的关切的部分再多些会更好？或者这个抱错的故事跟乱葬岗（留下的女性们）有什么隐喻上的联系，是我没看出来吗？近几年看阿莫多瓦就像在看家装和时装catalogue，每个场景里吸引眼球的色彩和单品有点太多了，一个镜头出来眼睛疯狂乱瞟，在某种意义上也让人很难静心看「电影」作为一个整体，至少分了六成注意力专门看production design。
依然是很有辨识度的阿莫多瓦的个人风格，饱和度极强的色彩，令人期待的奇情，以及特点鲜明的女性视角。但是明显感觉阿大师有点老了，没以前那么先锋，奇情没那么奇了，尺度也把控的可接受范围之内，电影更是破天荒的减少个人艺术表达，与西班牙历史更多的结合，表现出一份对社会的信任感。
用女性的视角和身份的认同来折射导演对一个国家过往和现在的政治表达，亲子鉴定和挖掘遗骸，死去和存活的孩子与祖辈死因的不明和昭然，看似不搭调的两条线在深层次都是相关联的。我看到更多的是阿莫多瓦对女性的尊重和对女权的拓展，男人只是提供生育的一环，女性才是延续生命的关键和根本。
个人情感和国家历史没有融合好，割裂感太强。奇情也没有多么让人惊叹，反而有一种俗气。
不知道是不是期望太高了，所以有些失望。。一直觉得阿莫多瓦的风格在当今世界影坛是独树一帜的，可这部电影除了他的风格分，还有潘潘的演技分，居然找不到其他任何的加分项。。故事都很表面且分割，很多碎片拼在一起，女一女二和阿莫多瓦以前电影中的角色比起来都不够丰满。。而且抱错孩子这种故事国内几十年前都拍过很多了，这部除了两女主后来的奇情也没拍出什么让人觉得惊喜的地方。。总之就是失望。。
看在大美人克鲁兹的份上给四星吧，实则故事真是挺一般的。抱错孩子平行母亲的故事跟乱葬岗的故事无论是思想性还是情节性上关联都很弱，后面的乱葬岗也没给人很惨烈的感觉，相比之下我们民族的苦难可深重多了。
，《关于我母亲的一切》被艾滋病ex感染了生，《对她说》植物人被护工qj生。到这未成年被lj不知道父亲是谁依旧生。每次体现母亲的强大都是含辛茹苦独自带孩子，父权的缺位总是让女性去弥补。暗线是战争留下的伤痛，希望下次能拍堕胎题材。单一国家不能决定战争，单一女性可以决定子宫。
够好看，但不够满足。像一篇四平八稳的、所有起承转合都在观众意料之中的女性主义命题作文。故事的吸引力来自于誓做单身母亲的女人和遭受性侵后决定生子的女孩间近似爱情的关系、抱错了孩子的关键信息应当在什么时候给出以及两个母亲对于孩子的态度，但呈现出来的每个情节都在消解人物自身的戏剧张力和人物关系间的矛盾冲突。但依旧觉得阿莫多瓦功力深厚，人物塑造中对人性幽微充满着只属于他的独特探察。
延续了前作的回望来路，佩德罗毕竟是老了。色彩还是一贯鲜亮，不过表现手段不再尖锐。历史罪愆并没有被过激地寻求偿赎，或简单的选择遗忘，代之以平和地共存。行为留下的轨迹造就了时空迷宫，然而爱终究不会错付。从寻找、承认、接纳直到探索如何相处，是当今西班牙及至整个世界的困境。
就是很普遍很爽的动作大片，但是因为卡司我加分了，2049前世cp，美队又演反派，还是坏透了的那种，居然还有“毒枭”瓦格纳·马拉惊喜客串，很适合在一个无聊的夜晚放松心情。
类似《如父如子》的故事 通过孩子的交换与失去探讨母亲的含义
这种电影就是单看一部不会觉得特别惊艳 但折服于导演持续不断旺盛稳定的创作力和西班牙配色
果然不是优秀的历史片导演，有很多细节上的隐喻，元素有点多了，少了很多类型片的拍法
喜欢最后的暗喻。女主的演绎很棒，让人感同身受，那种既想服从上天的安排隐匿下真相，与孩子一起生活，又不能压抑内心的纠葛，真诚时有时无的折磨，最后的抉择也是能够理解的
2019年在戛纳错过《痛苦与荣耀》看片会后回到上海在电影节惊喜的看到了首场，当时以为真的就是阿莫多瓦的最后一部了，至少从寻根寻我的维度怎么也是个很好的句点，没想到多瓦创作力和思考如此强大。在这个年纪又开始审视国家历史，直面以及不要忘记的态度实在是值得敬佩，克鲁兹拿了威尼斯实至名归。
好复杂的漩涡，但我现在已经能够完全理解了，毕竟我也是从漩涡中爬出来的人（女主好美啊，还有点神似满岛光，完全长在我的审美点上...
没有乱葬岗的故事线看着会更顺畅一点吧，最后的拔高也太突兀了
3.5 林达写西班牙内战的《西班牙旅行笔记》彻底改变了我对战争，尤其是内战的看法。不过这部阿莫多瓦相对此前看过的倒是没有那么触动我。
依旧亲切温柔。阿莫多瓦作为沉默正义制片人之一居然还编了个剧本
