I can't figure out why such a name was given, it's a question that I pondered all night after watching the film for the first time.
After the hot call me by your name last year, I found this Spanish gay movie again. It's all European films, I mean, all films shot in Europe. Call me's sea, bicycles, cultural relics, paintings, and cliffs constitute a picture beyond the plot, which is fascinating. But "Bad Education" presents a dilapidated and dirty European corner, without the slightest European literary and artistic temperament, and without the beautiful scenery that I, an Asian, are fascinated by. But why does it touch me so much... I also thought about it for a long time, and the film review exudes a unique charm.
Because it doesn't have a woman? Because it doesn't talk about taboos.
Lou Ye's film once wrote "What is morality? When I am familiar with him, when I am familiar with his body, I feel at ease with him." In this chaotic gender world created by Almodóvar, there is no such thing as a A woman with a straight face, no, has ignacio's mother; let alone, ignacio is not a man. Female consciousness is a feature of most of Almodóvar's films, and his most commendable place is the use of the concept of "gender ambiguity" to discuss women. Ordinary gay films are shrouded in the collision of morality and reality. Almodovar does not. He sets gender transformation and same-sex love as established conditions. Like his "All About My Mother," all women are tangled up in a man who is neither a man nor a woman. Talking about all kinds of things in the world and putting aside gender, I have never been able to find a reason for gender in the film. Enrique has been filming "Visit" coldly, calmly, calmly, and calmly. He was a cruel adult, perhaps only after learning that Ignacia was dead, and he directed the play himself, about him and Ignacia. In the play, little Ignacia betrayed herself for the priest's lies, but the priest still expelled Enrique. Among the group of students who turned around on the playground, little Ignacia still stared directly at Enrique, who dropped out.
At the beginning of the movie, the two people's feelings are vaguely explained, giving people a pure feeling, the beauty of first love and even being forced to separate seems beautiful. However, with the conversation between the two by the pool, the film gradually opened the prelude to the suspense. The lighter dropped by Ignacia became the guide of the truth. Take off Ignacia's coat, he is his sibling.
If you watch it a second time, you will find the truth, that is, every line before the real visit has a special meaning, "juan burned everything in Ignacia"; if you watch it a second time, you will remember the ending of the visit It was Enrique who changed it. He either wanted to kill Ignacia in the movie, or maybe it was to let juan experience his brother's death. If it was the latter, then he succeeded, and juan couldn't stop crying after filming.
Bad education, for Ignacia and Enrique, is a different ending. Ignacia's drug addiction, blackmail, everything he takes for granted stems from his romantic nature, but it is naive and unrealistic. And Enrique seems to be a mature adult. After learning the bloody truth, he still continues his ideal footsteps. I like the last paragraph at the end, "Enrique is still devoted to the film career he loves with full enthusiasm". "Visit" is a tribute to Ignacia. Perhaps this is the only hope in the Almodo tiles: always stick to the ideal, no matter how heart-wrenching the story you've been through.
