THE SKIN I LIVE IN (BY PEDDRO ALMODOVAR)

A few days ago I went to see the movie The skin I live in (La piel que habito) by Pedro Almodovar.

Antonio Banderas is the main character, and on my view, he does a good work.

However, in my opinion, the movie has a strange and sophisticated plot.

I don´t really Know what Pedro Almodovar wants to say with this film.

I will try to explain the plot.

Antonio Banderas plays a role of a doctor who is obsessed with the change in the human body mainly in the skin, but he uses forbidden techniques.

He´s also had a big trauma because he lost his wife in a car accident a few years ago.

Some years after, his daughter suffers a rape and as result of that, she commits suicide.

The doctor knows the person who did that then he kidnaps him and, like a punishment, he starts to change his body with a lot of operations until he got transform him into a woman similar to his wife.

As you can see and as I told you before, the plot is something sophisticated.

Nevertheless, I can say that, minute by minute the plot attracts the people attention, but

I don´t think this movie is one of the most important films of Pedro Almodóvar.

Therefore, in regard to whether or not I would recommend this movie, I have to say that I don´t have any strong opinion about that.

I think that the Pedro Almodóvar´s fans should see it in order to compare this movie with other movies of this director, but if you don´t like dramas, you shouldn´t  see it.

That´s all.

Note: Sorry a lot for my mistakes. But I have to remind you that I am only an English student. Thank you very much.

A LETTER FOR YOU

A few days ago I received this letter from a friend. I think this letter could be for you too.

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow...

Live today because tomorrow is not promised.
