Frida, this legendary Mexican woman, she is so charming.
The image at the beginning of the film is Frida's home, and the whole picture is filled with ocean blue and Chinese red. Vibrant colors are pleasing to the eye. The whole movie is basically in a similar tone. The bright colors are like oil paintings, like the blurry and soft images shot by LOMO, like a pair of gentle hands gently passing over your retina~
Frida had a car accident when she was 18 years old. After the thrilling scene, the whole picture was fixed on Frida in the wooden mezzanine of the battered car: the light in the car was dim, and a long metal rod could be seen slantingly inserted into her body from the right side of her body. The left side is pierced; her black hair is tossed to one side; the blood on her abdomen smudges her white shirt; her bare legs are trimmed with gold powder painted on the wall; the beams of light in the air also flicker. The gold powder... If I saw this, I was shocked by the tragic situation of the car accident, but I was shocked by the strong contrast of colors.
The whole body was smashed, the child was infertile, the lover's departure, and a series of things followed one after another after the car accident. For a woman, and a beautiful woman, these are nothing short of earth-shattering. But Frida is different from other women. She is competitive, strong, persistent, independent, and self-sufficient. The charming atmosphere exuded by her has gradually become stronger and stronger after the car accident.
During her recuperation, her talent in painting was brought into full play. Her works are not only "strong as steel, but also gentle as butterfly wings" (her husband's evaluation of her works); they are not only sharp but also full of a lot of inner tenderness; not only are the colors charming, but the themes are even more exciting.
Later she became a beautiful cripple with a talent for painting. Her works were favored by well-known painters at the time. What moved me the most was that the painter (forgot his name) who showed mercy everywhere and had countless women was attracted by Frida's independence and strength. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, they were still together in the end, not only physically, but also in his heart. Also firmly attracted by Frida.
There are a few episodes in the middle that really impressed me.
In the first episode, Frida, who has just recovered, goes to an artist's party, and she wins the chance to dance with a beauty at the hands of two other men. That dance, that piece of music, those two beautiful bodies, and the quiet gazes around, were extremely beautiful.
In the second episode, when Frida learned that she was pregnant and insisted on giving birth despite the dissuasion of the doctor and her lover, the happy little expression of victory; the hysterical roar of the doctor after the unfortunate miscarriage and massive blood loss; and the quiet sitting on the bed during the recovery The sight of painting a portrait of my son in a formalin bottle shocked me. No matter how strong a woman is, she cannot resist the pain of losing her own offspring. And the only thing she could do was paint her own son. The painting flashed to the camera but I could see it clearly: a blue background with a bed in the middle, on which lay a woman in a hospital gown, her belly was cut open, bloody, soft from the belly There are three lines on the rise, the middle line is a baby; the right is a sperm; the left is a red object...I can't see it clearly. Painting is the best way to vent her pain and thoughts.
Plot 3, when she was climbing high stairs with the old philosopher, when questioned by others, she said without hesitation: the old man who engages in revolution can climb, and the lame man who paints can also climb! (To the effect)
In the fourth episode, when her body was getting worse and worse, her back was paralyzed. Almost all the works were drawn when she fixed her back in a wheelchair and then simply lay on the hospital bed. The strength and perseverance of her is amazing;
in the fifth episode, when she finds her husband cheating, a desperate Frida moves out of her husband's house and into a very small and rudimentary house. The picture was reflected in the mirror, and Frida, who had dull eyes, took the scissors and cut off her long hair fiercely in front of the mirror. She later smoked and drank heavily. distressed.
Frida's strong perseverance and self-confidence, coupled with Salma Hayek's seamless performance, makes Frida perfect in the film, which fascinates me. The expression of her painting with a cigarette in her mouth; the expression of her wanton singing in the bar; the expression of determination that she knows that her lover's heart will marry him; the expression of her strength that never feels sorry for herself in the face of difficulties; she is in pain The sad expression of the lost belly; her guilt for others, her caress for beautiful women, her unremitting efforts to reputation...
Since then, I will have another dream lover~
If a woman's life is as colorful as hers How fortunate it would be to be your own leader!
--------------
The whole film is smooth and not cumbersome, and the actors' acting skills are even more impeccable. Excellent film, worth watching again and again.
