Synopsis
Director Enrique (played by Ferre Martinez) is on his free time, looking for new inspiration.
One day, a young man named Ignacio (Gael García Bernal), who claims to be an actor, wants to film under Enrique.
Enrique wanted to refuse, but was very surprised when he learned the young man's name.
It turned out that Ignacio was a classmate of his childhood, and the two used to love each other.
But this time, Enrique found that he had changed a lot. Not only did he grow a beard, but his demeanor was also very different from before.
Ignacio likes to write, he took out his work "Visit", hoping that Enrique can be made into a movie.
He told Enrique that they wrote the story themselves.
Enrique was intrigued by this, and after he sent Ignacio away, he watched it alone, and recalled the past.
Twenty years ago, Enrique and Ignacio attended a Catholic school at the same time.
Ignacio was loved by the priests because of his handsome appearance and sound of nature.
But he became good friends with the seemingly quiet Enrique.
The two often go out to play together, and when they are young, they also do some ambiguous things with each other.
But the good times didn't last long. When the two couldn't sleep at night and hid in the toilet to chat, they were caught by Father Morey.
In fact, Morey was very interested in Ignacio for a long time, and he was jealous and claimed to expel Enrique from the school.
In order to keep Enrique, Ignacio promised Morey anything in exchange.
But Morey did not keep his promise after getting what he wanted, and Enrique was still persuaded to quit.
In this way, Ignacio took hatred to heart because he lost two of the most precious things, chastity and Enrique.
When he grew up, he gradually degenerated, began to take drugs, and often did some sneaky things.
Seeing this, Enrique was very heartbroken, and he realized how much sacrifice Ignacio had made for himself.
So he came to Ignacio's house and wanted to have a good chat with him.
But what I didn't expect was that Ignacio's mother claimed that he had died as early as 3 years ago...
Video Analysis
It's another Pedro Almodovar movie. I remember that the last time I shared his movie was "Return" from a female perspective. What's interesting is that there are few women in the whole film of "Bad Education" , and even more so. What is unexpected is that such a film with men as the main body is even more fragrant and full of eroticism.
Different from the "line drawing" method of "Return", this film has more dramatic tension. The director promotes the plot through paragraph-style interludes, and also uses the form of film within the film to lay suspense, which makes people want to know the truth. what. But the final truth is quite cruel, and it will be unacceptable for a while, but looking back, how can it reflect the main theme of the film if it is not a tragedy? After all, the importance of education has long been self-evident.
Our male protagonist, Ignacio, should have a bright future. He is excellent in all aspects, especially with a natural good voice, which makes him stand in the C position when singing hymns. But everyone has experienced the period of adolescence. This is the time when mistakes are most likely to be made, and it is also the time when good education is most needed to correct and guide them. But I never imagined that Ignacio's teacher turned out to be a pedophile and homosexual, and he ruined the child's life.
Without a good education, Ignacio, who has lost his virginity and Enrique, can imagine the mood. He not only stole money from the outside, but also took the pension of the old man in the family. If there is such a person in reality, we will all hate it, but who would think of the cause of his tragedy? Poor people have something to hate, and vice versa.
The end of Father Morey is also quite memorable. At the beginning, it can be said that he broke up the "little couple" Ignacio and Enrique out of self-interest, and then he fell in love with Ignacio. The younger brother was cruelly abandoned after being used, and was finally killed. So sometimes retribution may just come a little late. When a person is suffering, he will not think about how many years he has enjoyed, and at that moment, the feeling of pain will not be attenuated in the slightest.
In the whole film, the director used his unique style to narrate the stories between several men. Although I always have some strange feelings about the emotions between men and men, this film is very natural. The lingering is presented, and the sensuality is not obscene. It has reached the range that I can accept, so I think from this point of view, the film is very successful.
If the scum of society can be traced back to its source, most of them are the product of bad education that grew up in a very bad environment.
