    Not entirely sure how I felt about the ending this time. It's has a lot of momentum in the beginning and its ending isn't as strong. In other words I'm not convinced that there's a strong message (something Baker's other films always have) but I did have fun along the way .

    Not much to say beyond "I love it!" I don't understand the "I don't like musicals they're not realistic" crowd. Who needs realism when you could be singing in the rain?

    What the fuck was that floor? You mean to tell me you have a whole crawl space under your apartment floor? Why? Why is it there? Why is your dog dumb enough to get lost in it? Doesn't he have ears? What the actual shit is this even supposed to signify?

    The floor is a metaphor for the whole movie.

    On a more serious note, this movie doesn't mean anything. It doesn't explain why it's fucked up characters are fucked…

    Almodóvar is one of the male gays and this film has lots of male gaze.
