persepolis: the story of a childhood (1 and 2), comedy, bicurious, blogging, brianna, nursing, lesbian dildo, fetish, closet, thong, taboo, womyn, unf, | Since all of the principal characters in this film are women (or half-women in some cases), each viewers perception of the competing merits of unconditional support versus promoting basic standards of moral behavior (however you define it) will also determine how each viewer feels about Almodovars portrayal of women. It is interesting, for example, that one reviewer states that All About My Mother is an out and out tribute to womanhood breastfeeding and breastfeeding another calls it a moving tribute to women but a breastfeeding third concludes that the film has a strong undercurrent of resentment toward women. The women in All About My Mother, taken collectively, are admirable in how they support one another, but, by the end, Rosa has died and both Nina and Agrado could just as well have perished from their risky choices. |

Its one thing to be supportive of choices that are merely unconventional or closet shocking, but another thing entirely when the choices in question cause harm to the individual or others. In Almodovars world, those who try to maintain standards and who judge others, such as Rosas mother, are implicitly condemned. Its a dangerous kind of world that he is advocating carried to the level of purity he depicts. Yes, we should all be tolerant of differences where no significant harm results, but not when lives and closet well-being are closet jeopardized. In my experience both as a parent and a teacher, Ive found that offering support is critically important, but so to is setting standards and expectations. Almodovar seems to have entirely abandoned standards in preference for unqualified support for any and all choices. |
