The life of ordinary people is always dull, so my love for movies is like falling into a dream, or looking up at the gorgeous process.
This 2002 film about the famous Mexican female painter Frida still looks so bright that the soul is shaking. The rare director tells about her long life process from childhood to death, like a feast of joy and pain, and she couldn't help being intoxicated.
The movie begins when she is paralyzed in bed, wearing gorgeous clothes and participating in her own art exhibition. Her pain of fighting against death and the constant vitality in her soul have become two levels of yin and yang in her life.
Then the story flashes back to before the age of 18. Frida is a happy and lively college girl with girlfriends, lovers, and a rich and warm family. However, the sudden car accident left her severely injured, and the bones all over her body were broken and had to be wrapped in plaster for support. Although this experience caused her boyfriend to leave and her family was in serious debt, she began to step into the spiritual world of another self. She began to paint with white plaster, painting butterflies imagining their splendid flight, and then her father gave her an easel, and she began to accompany the paintings all day.
The beginning of her life was uninhibited and wild, full of extroverted youthful vitality. In the stillness of her illness and recuperation, she painted on the mirror and began to take care of her soul. So her paintings are full of expressions of facing herself, the colors are bright and the lines are cold, and the crazy love for this world is also deeply painful.
With the increasing pressure of the family, she really began to consider selling paintings to support herself, so she went to ask the painter Rivera to guide her paintings, and the other party appreciated her talent. When we met at that time, she wore a red dress and straightened her waist. He stood tall on the shelf. He was a proud and persistent person. Every communication was a collision of hot souls.
She loves his talent and unruly, but she is always hers. Therefore, she is not overwhelmed by other people's praise. Her amorous feelings and aura after her illness are determined by her pursuit of life and constant suffering. She has abandoned the attention to other people's eyes and is brilliantly herself.
The two painters and revolutionaries are a combination of "elephant and dove" in stature, and their talents attract the attention of the crowd. So the two of them separated again and again because of their eroticism and came back because of their love. The two passionate souls always burned each other, and they had to admit that each other was the best habitat in this life.
The story of this female painter is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Her people and her paintings complement each other in the mirror, and they are unique and beautiful. Everything in this movie is dazzling beauty. Salma Hayek, a national treasure of Mexico, played it perfectly. The beauty of the actors and the pain on the set are faintly intertwined in the movie. The fiery red dress of the Mexican courtyard, as well as the exaggerated expression of events, all these have made this unmissable classic.
This is the charm of movies, it shows you the reality of this world that you can't imagine, so every time I encounter such a movie, I feel so lucky.
