this week movie is bad education. i dont remember exactly since when i decided to watch and follow any movie written and directed by the infamous pedro almodovar. well it started 2 years ago, i suppose, when i watched the spanish movie festival held by gajahmada state university. i first encountered with talk to her. a very poignant, yet thoughtful movie. a different way and taste of a country's cinema to portray life. thats how i would describe the work. the idea is rare, and the casts were...splendid. i found it humorous, yet hillarious and again, poignant. i dont know how to describe it in a more personal way, the work is such a captivating one, i wish i could write and direct such movie. i am trying, and learning. all about my mother was, again, sad, beautiful, genious.talk to her was honest, and the honesty of the images captivated my mind, body, and soul (if that's pretty enough). later, i managed to watch amorres peros (i have written about this one sometimes ago). some months ago i watched my life without me starring the cute monica potter and that hunky bear, i forgot his name at the moment. and last night i watched bad education. and again, those movies were so pedro. they were so honest, unpredictable, for some nations probably prohibited in their cinemas, and pedro's and his club cultura's movies were always colorful, green, red, orange, purple, name the colors you love. they did not use it like when u watch Hero, they just blend and was not orchestrated to be beautiful. the colors mingle with the splendid casts.ahh, i cannot tell u with words, u need to watch it urself, indulge ur sense with spanish ways of cinemas. one thing for sure, prepare urself, pedro always manage to picture sex the way it is, and i am astonished that the actors and actresses are so capable of doing it. whats more, homosexual relationships is a reoccuring issue in his pictures. indulge pedro, i say. do notice that pedro seems to love his actors and actresses so much that several actors can easily be found playing in most of his movies, like the one who is the leading man in this movie.
