Role-Playing, The Kindness Of Strangers, and ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER--Analyzing the film by Amoldovar

If life is a game of musical chairs in which all of us depend on the kindness of strangers and we are all just actors on a grand stage role-playing and gender swapping with each other, then Pedro Amoldovar's 1999 film ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER is playing the role of Tennessee Williams' 1947 play 'A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.'
All About My Mother: a film analysis of Pedro Almodovar's masterpiece--In this video, I will examine 'All About My Mother', a 1999 Spanish drama film directed by Pedro Amoldovar and starring Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Antonia San Juan, Penélope Cruz and Candela Peña. AIDS, homosexuality, transsexuality, existentialism, reincarnation, drug abuse and addiction--these are some of the themes in this film that I will touch on in this great film which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. The film uses the backstage chaos of a theater production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' as an axis for a mother's search for her husband --who has undergone a sex change--to inform him of his dead son whom he didn't know exist.

I found your video by chance. I'm glad to see you liked the movie. Almodovar has that magic of being able to gather unique elements and capture them with an excellent soundtrack. I laughed, you cry and it always reaches your heart, especially showing a raw image of the general life where each one in himself is the protagonist of his own story. Keep up the good work with reviews

Hello! Thanks a lot for this amazing review. I loved this summary of key elements in the movie. However, I am wondering how did you infer that Lola was a heroin addict? I interpreted that she was a promiscuous woman, therefore got HIV from another person. Also, leading to the next point, I believe that Manuela left Lola because she saw a duality in his behavior, or as she says (I am paraphrasing): "such a feminine person trying to be such a macho" and describing how Lola was not allowing Manuela to dress in short skirts. I believe that was the main reason why Manuela left, as she was already fine with his transformation.

[@godfatherofcinema]

What's up, Ljubomir! I think I made a mistake on that; thanks for pointing it out. I plan on redoing it in the future with more insights I got. Thanks for your insights. Very much appreciated, my friend!

[@maritzamejia5312]

When Rosa arrives to Manuela's home with the result of the analisys, which were positive, Manuela exclaims hysterically 'por qué tenías que acostarte con Lola? no sabías que se pincha desde hace 15 años? 'pincharse' i assume it's a reference to the comsumption of heroin as one needs a seringe and a needle to do so.

[@yucarocho]

Very nice, just one thing, I don't think Lola got a sex change operation. She impregnated the nun.

[@godfatherofcinema]

Thanks for the correction and watching the video, yucarocho! I appreciate it!
