In Almodovar’s world, those pornstar jenna who try to maintain standards and who judge others, such as Rosa’s mother, are implicitly condemned. It’s a dangerous kind of world that he is advocating – carried to the pornstar jenna level of purity he depicts. Yes, we should all be tolerant of differences where no significant harm results, but not when lives and well-being are jeopardized. In my experience both as pornstar jenna a parent and a teacher, I’ve 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. 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 Almodovar’s portrayal of women.
