阿莫多瓦自己說「my mother was always the territory where everything happened」我覺得我看過的每一部他的電影都可以叫「parallel mothers」抑或「parallel women」。讓我最感興趣的倒不是他的電影，而是他從他母親繼承下來的對女性的執念。他說他媽媽穿了三十年的黑色衣服「although she was dressed in black when she bore me, in her she was gestating her vengeance towards the dark monochromes obliged by tradition. I was her vengeance」

回憶起來我甚至差點忘記了在觀影時最吸引我的國家歷史、共同創傷（trauma）的主題。既然採訪理他說了他也對此非常感興趣、那我覺得他應該多去鑽研怎麼更有力地敘述這些沈重的人性歷史，再步步高升。
