I hope the exit is joyful, and I hope weren’t to return.

In it, a paragraph dedicated to Diego and Frida when they got married is really good. There is also Diego's evaluation of Frida's paintings at the end of the film, "Her paintings are sharp and warm, hard as steel, soft as butterfly wings, lovable as smiles, cruel as the pain of life. I don't believe that ever before has a woman put such agonise poetry on canvas. I don't believe that a woman has ever painted with such a painful poem before"

I don’t believe in marriage.

I think at worst it’a hostile political act,a way for small-minded man to keep women in the house and out of the way,wrapped up in disguise of tradition and conservative religious non-sense.

At best, it’s a happy delusion. It’s two people who truly love each other, and have no idea how truly miserable they’re about to make each other.

But when two people know that, and they decide with eyes-wide-open, to face each other and get married any way. Then I don’t think it’s conservative or delusional. I think it’s really gut, and courageous, and very romantic. To Diego and Frida.

I don't believe in marriage.

To put it harshly, this is a political move that allows careful men to keep women at home, using traditional and conservative religions as a guise.

To put it nicely, it is an illusion of happiness. Two people really love each other, but they don't know they will make each other miserable. But when two people know this and decide desperately to face each other and get married, this is not conservative or delusional, but radical, brave and romantic.
