Broken Embraces

A superb movie directed by Almodovar, Broken Embraces examines the relationship between an incredibly wealthy scriptwriter and a mistress-turned-actress.

Have you been a fan of someone or something you indulged in? It can drive you to do anything to hold onto it and it’s hard to let it go.

If it’s a harmless obsession, we call it love, focus, and passion. If it has become a hurtful relationship or illegal, we call it an addiction, harassment, and an offensive act.

There is a lot of speechless moment when I was watching this film. Not a logical way for a Hollywood movie, but a Spanish Almodovar way. Penelope Cruz is still the star of many of his movies. And I still find her an absolute beauty.

For my love to her, it’s not an obsession, it’s an admiration for her sparkling characters in those movies.

Job well done!
