Another brilliant piece of camera work occurs parenting during Manuelas trip back to Barcelona. The rhythm of the train wheels sounds like the beating of a heart Estebans heart that she had followed as far as the chest of its transplant recipient. Then, suddenly, parenting the train passes through a tunnel that has the feel parenting of a birth canal and Manuela emerges in Barcelona, as if reborn. Almodovar is also a master at managing colors. In this film, we see numerous examples of bright colors in clothing and cloths, reminding us that this film is about the bright side of life, despite its sometimes squalid subject matter. Themes: I noted four main themes in this film (there may be others that I missed) and three seem to me to be largely uncontroversial. One obvious theme is Manuelas recovery from her tragic loss. She is able to recapture meaning in her life by redirecting her maternal instincts to the many needy people she encounters in Barcelona Rosa, Agrado, Huma, Nina, and, briefly, Lola.
