Spanish culture in Spanish schools: Javier Bardem conquers Hollywood

October 24th, 2011

He is part of one of the Spanish cinema’s most famous families, Javier Bardem is not only one of the most important actors in Spain, he also knew how to slowly conquer Hollywood, and his films are therefore a very good resource to use to learn Spanish for the Spanish schools in Spain’s students.

He had small roles on television as a child, and his first big appearance on the cinema screens came when the director Bigas Luna directed him in the film “Jamón, jamón” in 1992, inwhich he starred together with his actual wife Penélope Cruz and Jordi Mollà. From this moment on he started playing in many films for which he received numerous awards such as the Goya he received in 1994 for the film Días contados and one year later the Goya again for “Boca a Boca”.

He was promoted to international cinema in 2007 with Woody Allen’s film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”. But the best moment of his career took place in 2008 when Javier Bardem became the first Spanish actor to receive an Oscar, as he received the award for the best supporting actor for his role in “No es país para viejos”.

There is no doubt that Javier Bardem is one of the Spanish actors now in fashion and his success in Hollywood is such that he was chosen to play Daniel Craig’s enemy in the new release of 007, his scenes and roles are thus very popular among Spanish schools in Spain.
