Kirpianuscus one of films who remains long time in memory. as a form of experience. itself story of experiences. sure, this is the mark of Almodovar films. so, nothing real surprising. except the feeling of the force of experiences and choices and secrets and silence and need of justice. the theme is present in European cinema from many years ago. but the genius of Almodovar has the science to transform it in universal story. not only about sexual abuse, shadow from the Roman - Catholic Church, Spain after Franco but provocative game of forbidden questions. that is it. and the motif for who Mala Educacion remains a must see. again.

hoxjennifer La Mala Educacion is not for the faint of heart, or the homophobic. Although not explicitly graphic, it can be difficult to watch for people that are accustomed to heterosexual love scenes. Not only that, but there are implications of child molestation (that are not explicitly shown, mind you but heavily implied). However, what makes this movie so stunning to me is not its shock factor - there are plenty of movies that deal with trans gendered characters, child molestation and homosexuality - what makes this movie so stunning is how a plot line with this theme is woven so intricately on so many different dimensions through the retelling of a story - "La Visita", a story that is fundamental to all that happens in this movie, not only through what happens in the story, but what happens when the story is recreated in a movie.Gael Garcia Bernal proves he's not just another pretty face in this movie (even though as Zahara, I have to admit, he is gorgeous! He makes for a beautiful woman). He steals the show through his compelling performance and the way he executes the multi-faceted dimensions of his character. Fantastic, a deep movie that even if you don't find yourself immediately enjoying, you'll certainly be thinking about it long afterwards.

fanbaz-549-872209 This is pretty well little more than soft porn movie dressed up as a deep insight into the relationship between two men who went to a typical Catholic school in Spain in the sixties. The photography is wonderful - Ozu is at the root - but explicit scenes of homosexuals engaging in sodomy and oral sex simply repel. It is the fashion to show sex and violence in extremes on the screen. It makes money because both sex and violence require constant feeding. And it can be argued that a fantasy, which is all a film is, might be a way of dealing with such privative needs. There is no doubt the director is more than capable and the acting, when not faking a sexual act, is capable. The child actors, on the other hand, do not come any better. This reviewer is of an older generation when it was thought that leaving sexual acts and extreme violence better suggested. Like I say, soft porn in spite of the dressing.

alex1975-714-592858 Bad Education is an interesting and dark crime film by Pedro Almodovar. This film has many layers and various dimensions of a story; stories of obsession, role-playing, and revenge. Almodovar's mis-en-scene was the excellent use of bright colors which helped the scenes pop from the screen. These colors were used as a vibrant explosion that helped in the dramatic effect of the stories this film presented. He also used excellent cinematography to lead his audience into this mysterious, bizarre world where graphic simulation of sexual acts was used. When viewing this film, the audience will notice that it is impossible not to get lost in the story played by the characters, because Almodovar augments the width of the image to where the audience will not notice the dimensions of fiction and reality.As a viewer of this film, I began to notice several themes. The first theme I noticed was the theme of indifferent attitudes toward women because there were no significant women's parts or roles played in this film, besides the role played in drag. Another theme is that of false identity - the movie's present tense is the 1980s, where a film director Enrique is searching desperately for a new project, hoping to find it by clipping through newspapers, when a young actor comes into his office with a story he's written. The young actor claims to be Ignacio, the boy Enrique fell in love with while they were in a Roman Catholic boarding school together. Although Enrique wanted to believe it to be true, he knew that something was not right. Enrique would eventually find out that Ignacio was not who he thought he was but played with the thought anyway; the theme of falling in love was also prominent in this film as it was shown - the Priest falls in love with Ignacio and the love between two young boys. In the end, as a reviewer, I enjoyed all the different art forms that this film presented. The art of mis-en-scene, the art of realism versus fictional and the art of love.
