Was I supposed to be surprised? SPOILERS


What I'm referring to is the judge/crossdresser business. I could immediately tell it was the same guy, so am I unusually perceptive, or was the blindness of Rebecca supposed to be funny to us - kind of like her confessing on live TV?

I immediately realized it was the same guy too but the twist of him being an undercover cop did surprise me. So I think Almodovar knew the audience would easily recognized Leta as Juan but the real twist was that he was neither and was Eduardo.

D) It was written.... Slumdog Millionaire

It wasn't supposed to be a twist, because then they wouldn't have hired a famous singer to play him. No, it was so us the audience could know and then react to certain scenes a certain way because we know what the characters don't.
