"What was it that bothered me so much?" the movie that makes you ask. yes, what bothers us so much in the movie? Is it to intervene in someone's body without their consent, or is it more - again forcibly - changing the sexual character of one's body?
Three people seem to interfere with someone's body without their consent: first the maniac at the beginning of the movie, and the second the boy trying to take advantage of the psychologically troubled girl. and the third is, of course, the doctor. But I think this is the third reason why the movie is a mess, especially for men. Especially the rape at the beginning of the film becomes an unbearable violence after reaching the knowledge of the third intervention.
I think the main goal of all this dizzying fiction is to reveal which side the violence and power in straight sexuality is working on. No matter how harrowing a rape scene is (eg irreversible), the destructive power in the body is not as great. Whereas, the loss of manhood, the turning of violence against its owner, creates such a damage that perhaps no similar intervention can come close.
On the other hand, the technical competence of the film should also be mentioned, this is today's dr. Frankenstein and his house are so elaborately crafted that it is impossible for a man to turn into such a perfect woman. really successful. It is certain that pedro almadovar is a true master, but it seems as if he is getting more and more technically competent.
