Topics of possible discussion for your blog:
1. The ways in which the film builds upon the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, and why.
2. The 'relationship' between Benigno and Alicia - Alicia is the beautiful yet silenced woman. What do you make of Benigno's feelings toward her? (Benigno means "benign" in Spanish)
3. The relationship between Marco and Lydia (before and after the accident). How is it similar to / different from the relationship between Benigno and Alicia?
4. Lydia - a female bullfighter afraid of snakes.
5. Marco - the man always crying
6. The friendship that grows between Benigno and Marco - what significance does this hold in the film?
7. The way in which the film treats violence against women / rape - why do you think Almodovar presents it as such?
