In my opinion, "All About My Mother" is the highest peak of Almodovar so far. He had been improving before, but then he stopped moving forward, or even regressed slightly, but he progressed very quickly and regressed very slowly. In general, these three movies are worth watching, if not, then you should at least watch "All About My Mother".
Almodovar is a master of storytelling. He often uses memories, scenes, retellings, diaries, letters, etc., to cut stories into pieces, and then slowly combine them. In this "Bad Education", the plot of the play in the play appears even more. And every time, at the beginning of his memories, it makes people feel that the past is overwhelming.
Why tell a story so complicated? Perhaps Almodovar used this method to imply the complex and unpredictable emotions in people's hearts. In "Bad Education", everyone is entangled in love and hate, passion and desire, and they are deeply stunned and painful for their love. Maybe after giving up, we can no longer feel heartache, but those indistinguishable love or lust hold us too tight to be spared. Therefore, you can only choose to hate, hate those who are also trapped by love.
However, someone can be spared. He has no love, he has sacrificed and endured, it is only for himself. But from another angle, he simply didn't realize the taste of those bone-worn ecstasy, a walking dead is the saddest one of these people.
In every movie of Almodovar, there is a great woman who endures suffering for the sake of love. In "Bad Education", this woman is physically male. In fact, there are no real women in this movie about love. But so what?
IMDB scored 7.9 (7923 people voted), I scored 7.
