      Bad Education--About the Spanish Gay Film

      There has never been a gay movie that made me think so long after watching it that I couldn't bear to turn off the video, but re-watch it and appreciate the beauty of the details of the film, the ingenious conception, and the montages that seem to be chaotic but not chaotic. In fact, when I first watched the film, I didn't think it should be an excellent film. It wasn't until I watched it in the fog and pondered other...

      Bad Education--Fog About Homosexuality And Evil

      The last director's work I saw was an absurd story. I understood it and thought it was too imaginative. It turns out that the story can still be told like this. For this bad education, I need to close my eyes and think about it for a while. Because in this film, the reality and the pictures shot in the film are intersected, and the clues are also unfolded bit by bit, so I need to taste it slowly. Whenever I think about...

      "Bad Education"--La Mala Education

      Upon knowing how to die, the first feeling is shock, and then I think, the ending of Enrique's movie is obviously much better than the real one. In the movie, Ignacio is not a drug addict, living in disguise, thinking of blackmailing the priest, and finally killed. In reality, he was addicted to drugs, had breast augmentation, wanted to change gender, wrote to Enrique full of expectations, and made up his mind to quit...

      echo






      I like the first half of the story better than the second half. It can also be said that the "Visit" in the film moved my heart more than the film itself. I don't know if I can say that this is just an epiphany in the play-in-play, "Visit", which may be enough to become a more complete story than the film itself. At least, it's my favorite story.

      This story is tear-jerking, with flashbacks and interludes, making people feel that "even if they meet, they should...

      Love and Soul Consumed by the Seven Deadly Sins

      The title is very emotional. Peach and other bright colors show an exaggeration and a feeling of secretly tasting the forbidden fruit. Some slightly controversial small pictorials are presented in the way of paper-cutting and tearing. In the first scene of the film, Enrique was looking for inspiration in newspaper clippings, and Iglesiao came to him with his script. Enrique read Iglecio's script, and the movie unfolded as the script unfolded... As the
          picture progressed, it was a wall...

      I betrayed myself in that sacristy and lost my faith ever since. I became fearless because I no longer believed in God and hell, and my fearlessness allowed me to do anything. The plot and the beginning of the movie The subtitles are full of anticipation; the background against the boy's singing is memorable; the plot is as tense as imagined but surprisingly smooth; the film that cannot be...

      So desperate. "Yinaxiu" ended like this, and then I go back to the psychological description of himself in "Visit", it is really sad, the story of the deceased has to be discovered by "Anglic" himself, every look is sad Pity and...

      This is the only time I watched Almodovar without crying~ It's better to watch him describe women~ Today I suddenly found out that the male protagonist is the guy I like~...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The prerequisite for Mexican actor Gael García Bernal to get a role in the film is to have a pure Spanish accent. It is also necessary to master Spanish body language and learn with flamenco dance. Although Benal watched many Spanish films, what he most wanted to imitate was the performance of Alain Delon in " Purple Noon " in 1960 .
    The movie Ignacio and Anrique watched in the cinema was " Esa mujer " in 1969 .
    The film was the opening...

    Evaluation action

    "La mala educación" is a typical Almodovar movie, in which lust and destruction fly together, both fragrant and grotesque. It is not a typical Almodovar movie. The protagonist has changed from a woman to a man, but it is even more embarrassing to watch. The film adopts the play-in-play structure commonly used in European modernist movies, but it is not a simple play-in-play structure, but a two-line triangle. Shooting the part of...

    Movie quotes

    • Ignacio: I think I've just lost my faith at this moment, so I no longer believe in God or hell. As I don't believe in hell, I'm not afraid. And without fear I'm capable of anything.
