...really a bad fellow, he begins to understand what he is doing. Guiltily, he asks to get out of the shabby joke, but his friends will not let him out. "Like kids playing with ants," they push the joke to its logical, dreadful conclusion-a conclusion in which Bardem's heroine becomes a symbol of all the homely, unloved women in the world...
