Gael Garcia Bernal: Your opinion? Favorite Movie?
With soulful good looks and charisma to spare, Gael Garcia Bernal could have easily answered the call of Hollywood after his breakout performance in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Amores Perros (2000). Instead, the Mexican-born actor chose to remain in his native land. It would be five years before Bernal appeared in his first English-language film, The King.
Born Nov. 30, 1978, in Guadalajara, Bernal began his career as a child actor, and by age 12, he had been cast in a Mexican soap opera. Just four years later, he appeared in his first film, and soon thereafter, he left home to study at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.
Bernal's performance in 2001's Y Tu Mama Tambien cemented his reputation as a rising star, and more choice roles followed in films such as The Motorcycle Diaries, Pedro Almodovar's Bad Education and 2006's Babel (opposite Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett).

at first i wanted to say motorcycle diaries, b/c you get the most time (128 m running time)
then i wanted to say y tu mama tambien- he looked reallt good with his youthfull charisma
however, la mala educacion is my favorite b/c the versatility he showed & it is such a kickass movie

I think Mala Education will always stand out as one of his best, so far at least. I think he's one of the few young actors who take acting for the art that it is and not so much for the goods that it can bring you such as celebrity, status and political/social power.
Is a refreshing to have a latino actor who isn't type cast as a piece of cake and with stereotypical macho roles or womanizer cameos in all white cast sitcoms.

they are showing it on HBO now..
i think you'll like it. is the kind of film you either like or you don't. is non conventional. Is creative and it entertains without taking itself too seriously.
and for bonus...you get to see Gael in all his glorifying nudity! and if you slow motion..you get to enjoy it even longer!
