Talk to Her
Talk to Her is a movie about two totally different individuals whose lives were intertwined with friendship because of a devastating accident. The movie starts with a play in a theatre where Marco and Benigno meet, but as total strangers, Benigno notices that Marco is crying while watching the dance recital, this symbolizes a sense of weakness for Marco. Marco, a journalist who sought to make a story on a famous female matador ends up being in a relationship with Lydia, the lady matador but after an unfortunate event, Lydia winds up being in a comatose, admitted in a hospital where Benigno works as a nurse. Benigno is working as a personal nurse for a comatose patient who apparently has been his crush for quite a time, this opportunity allowed him to see her, Alicia, his longtime crush everyday and tend to her needs as a comatose patient, and this shows how obsessed, in a way, Benigno was towards Alicia. The hospital is where Marco and Benigno met and became close friends knowing that both of them have patients who need them.
The dance recital shown at the start of the movie symbolizes how irrational women can be and how men are there to guide them and care for them even when they are unaware of it. The montage effect was neatly and greatly executed allowing us to understand the film bit by bit without spoiling ourselves on what is going on within the film. There were a few instances such as words surprisingly coming out of the screen such as “a few months later” or the like, that actually ruined the way the movie flowed, these were a really bad idea for effects, they ruined the movie a bit. At first, Marco was stubborn about talking to Lydia given her status as a comatose patient, he thought that there was no sense in talking to her under her current circumstances but this changed when he met Benigno, especially in the part where he realized that Lydia wanted to leave him for another man,
