It is education time

Bad Education is a distinctive Pedro Almodóvar venture. I was predominantly fascinated in the movie for one of the front men, Mr. Gael García Bernal. I was captivated by Bernal in Amores Perros and in ‘course The Motorcycle Diaries (in the very demanding role of Che Guevera). Surely, Bernal once more amazed me in his triple tasks of Ángel/Juan/Zahara in Bad Education. Mind that, all three persons were unusual in all logics; additionally the role of Zahara was too intricate as an imaginary transvestite.

The opening credit of the movie will surely strike a chord for you of a-la Hitchcock's Vertigo style with some dazzling color flows into the screen. Gradually, the complexity of the story turns you on, where you will see all of past, present and fictitious scenes are jumbled in a string but skillfully edited. The followers of David Lynchs’s Mulholland Drive can share to the surge of the movie, especially in the scenes of Zahira.

The movie is good quality, but I have a void in myself (personal link up, you see!!!). The mislaid linkages revealed little earlier than I anticipated (almost identical problem as in 21 grams). This left me with little hmmmm. Otherwise, it’s a must watch, but not for the homophobic crowd.

I know it will be little over reacting, but I can’t take a hiatus myself in mentioning Mr. Bernal once more. He is dazzling, remarkable, powerhouse in a sentence. He is multi-dimensional and can do anything in a wink of an eye.

Way to go man!

For the plot you can surrender towards IMDB. I am too lyad to write the same.
