All About My Mother

6.      Agrado is a very complex character to analyze. At first appearance, everything about this “girl” seems false. From her expensive silicon boobs to the various plastic surgeries done on her face. She wants to be a woman, not just an ordinary woman, but the perfect woman. She wants the exact measurements, and the best looking body. But if you look past the physical and get down to the actual person, there is a much truer story. Agrado aims to please everyone around her, just as she says her name is Agrado because she likes to make everyone agreeable. She is always there for her friends, and has quite an emotional side. It is hard to determine whether she is so helpful because she wants friends, or just because that is her personality. Regardless, she is very much true with herself, despite the daunting façade of fake. She stated she didn’t like goodbyes, but she hated not getting a good-bye. This proves the strength of her character. She can deal with all the mishaps that life hands her, but she cant deal with avoiding problems, which is why she deals with everything head on in this movie. When people question her about her gender, she doesn’t become bashful and hide, she lays everything out on the table. Overall, her character is one composed of truth and facades.
