The talented Salvador Dali enters the University of Madrid and falls in love with the charismatic young poet Federico Garcia Lorca. This was a taboo at the time because homosexuality was against the law and against Catholicism.
The more dangerous love is, the more precious and unforgettable it is.
The wild and unruly painter was expelled from school in 1923 and 1926. He has specialized in academic methods, and has tried to explore cubism and futurism. In 1927, he completed the first surreal oil painting "Honey is Sweeter than Blood", and officially joined the surrealist camp in the summer of 1929. Dalí was a natural surrealist, and his paintings were a strange mixture of detailed realism and absurdity. "My whole ambition in painting," he claims, "is to materialize concrete, irrational images with the utmost precision that cannot be refuted."
Dali decided for his own future, to make his genius paintings famous. Leaving Federico and Spain, opting to travel to Paris with Buñuel. And when Federico learns that Dali has traveled to Paris to work on a surreal film with Buñuel, and is having an affair with a married woman, Carla, he is vulnerable and desperate.
Soon the Spanish Civil War broke out, under the raging of fascism, Federico bravely stepped forward to lead the Spanish intellectuals in the fight for freedom. At this time, Dali, under the control of Gala, gradually indulged in the temptation of money and fame, regardless of world affairs. The painter of the same period as Picasso was equally famous. Not only because of his shockingly imaginative images, but also because of his eccentric images and behaviors. We cannot but admit that he was a genius, both artistically and self-promotionally. He solemnly declares that the difference between himself and a madman is that he is not mad. He carefully grooms his moustache, making it a unique feature on his body. He "dreams" on canvas, expressing irrational themes of sex, war, death, etc. He wrote "The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí", carried out various activities in a pretentious manner... Maybe, love still exists, but he just doesn't know how to hide it.
I thought that according to Dali's reputation and status, Federico could be arranged to defect to the United States, and they could continue to complete the stage play that the two have wanted to collaborate with since they were students. Dali did the same, he firmly believed that love still existed in each other's heart, as long as he opened his mouth. It is a pity that Federico does not think that the bizarre Dali is still the Dali of the past. He intuitively loves the person in front of him is no longer the shy and sensitive Dali who spends the night with him kissing and lingering in the sea, although he still loves him deeply. Facing Dali's desire to continue to be with Lorca, Federico reluctantly refused due to the sense of national responsibility and turned to leave. Looking at Federico's back, hesitant but still resolute, Dali shouted unwillingly, but returned to the room but covered his face and wept, secretly hurt.
The two have parted ways since then. Until Lorca paid the price of his life for the nation-state, the two never saw each other again.
It was only at the last moment of Lorca's life that he fell among the reeds, and his lips murmured whose name he wanted to call.
Salvador Dali is also the name of a fragrance. The fragrance of this fragrance is layered with top notes: apricot, black currant, kumquat. Middle notes: freesia, blue water lily, lotus. Aftertaste: amber, musk, cedar. The taste is soft but not kitsch, gentle and uncontested, like a blue and sunny sky and a sea of waves. The feeling of clean and tidy, and the romantic mood of walking on the gravel road. Like, Dali and Federico share the love of the night sea.
