book vs video

I don't want to say more about the plot, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed. Because I read the book first and then thought of watching this movie. I think that Salma Hayek should be more beautiful than Frida herself, but at the critical moment, she always felt underwhelmed and failed to interpret Frida's real inner world. Frida's inner world is too rich, tenacity, contradiction, pain, expectation, disappointment, decadence. . .
Looking at her paintings carefully, it vividly reflects her inner world at each stage. Some of the details in each painting are subtle.

From another point of view, the portrayal of Diego is also lacking. Diego is also a very contradictory person. His character is "the more you love someone, the more you hurt her". Diego once would rather admit that Frida is gay than admit that she has relationships with other men. But there is nothing in the film that makes people feel that although Diego often "goes out of the wall", he still loves Frida's subtle feeling.

    In Mexico City, I watched it again after fourteen years. Stayed in the gran hotel, the French hotel in the movie, went to the National Palace to see the murals of Rivera, and went to the Frida Museum tomorrow. Watching this movie again is like watching a landscape painting of Mexico City, or a tourist guide for the city. People and things are too superficial, and it is far from a good movie.

    The Mexican uncle he met at the Oktoberfest took out a bill with Frida on it. This is Frida, he said.
