I watched this movie again and I remembered...Hello,<br />I watched this movie again and I remembered the notes on this post. The doctor's family, according to Almodovar, is brazilian. He chose Brazil because it is a country where plastic surgery has become popular. Almodovar also says Ledgard was one person out of the "logic of guilt and punishment." This was the second reason for the choice of a brazilian family. So, as a brazilian, I was watching the movie after reading this interview with Almodovar. So I would like to point out one other reference: the name of the character Vera. When she introduces herself as "Vera" she adds with the name "Cruz". Vera Cruz was the first name that Portugal gave to Brazil in 1500, the date of 'discovery' of the country.<br /><br />(the interviwe, in portuguese, is here: http://vejasp.abril.com.br/noticias/entrevista-pedro-almodovar )<br /><br />(I'm sorry, my english isn't so good!)<br />:)Annanoreply@blogger.com
