    The other time I watched this movie I was 15 or 16, so it's safe to say I've seen a lot more movies and have a better critical eye for cinema. I can also say I've seen some Hitchcock movies and he's not my favorite. This one's a classic for a reason. The atmosphere, the singular effect, the suspense is real. That infamous shower scene scares people TO THIS DAY and it's not because of the gore, although I'm sure even…

    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 .

    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.
