An Education
http://www.movies.com/an-education/m22753
It's a simple story about a young teengal meeting an older witty man. I suppose your parents would be experiencing some anxiety nowadays if their daughter is going to marry such a "perfect man". But afterall it's staged at 60's. I abit dislike the ending as 16yo Jenny could snap out of it so easily. Honestly, I believe most women wouldnt stay alive or could go back to school and hence smoothly going to Oxford. I think it was too lucky for her.
I hope somehow all of us could have had her kind forgiving teacher in our life, we might as well have a chance to end up in Oxford or Harvard. haha........

Peter Sarsgaard did a captivating performance there, his acting temperature was just rite. Nothing too overboard. Whereas Alfred Molina (Dr Octopus in Spiderman 2) acted out great as a striving dad who wanted his daughter to go to the best Uni or married the "perfect man".
The ultimate moral question is - to have fun or to obtain success thru boredom. Going through it, despite you are not sure what you want in life. Honestly, I do not know how to choose. And also, who knows how to choose the right one? As for me, I never chose FUN first when I was a teen. I always chose the toughest way - my thinking was to challenge myself. That left alot of wounds inside & outside, but at least I am more alive than choosing either one option.

Highly recommended if you like inde movies or great performance.

An interesting movie with a story board spreading from AIDs, Bi-sexual, gay, open relationship, parenthood, friendship........Yes, it's supposed to feel very very heavy indeed. But it all came out pretty naturally. I am not saying they have the perfect script. However, I always like movies or shows with more reality in it. Not dwelling on just purely love or pain oriented.
And the description of the ignorance rgd AIDs back in 80's, somehow it reminds me I should be more protected. It's indeed not a nice disease, esp one of the characters showed the progress of the disease uptil his death. Kinda gruesome.
I cannot relate to any one of the r/p depicted in this movie. I just dont get some of them.
I like french sex scene or scenes that leading upto it. It's just so frenchly natural. Unlike american movies.......
Recommended if you dont mind reading french subtitles.
