I've been playing this disc for a long time, and I haven't dared to watch it, because I know it's definitely not easy. When I saw it, I was really crying.
I was in my hospital bed when I first saw Frida's painting. The "Deer Woman" and the two "Frida" were the most impressive. It was her experiences that caught my attention at the time rather than her paintings—as they could be—at the time. I'm worried about whether I'll be riveted to some kind of bracket and spend the rest of my life in bed. I remember there were three people in that ward. A beautiful young woman, an old lady who hardly ever speaks, and me who rarely speaks. A car accident brought the woman here, a high paraplegic. Steel stands all over, drinking from straws and eating canned smashed oranges. This woman runs a restaurant. The name of the restaurant seems to be called Red Rose. It was one of the restaurants that could be counted back then. The driver was her husband. Her husband is nothing but handsome, driving around on a handsome silver motorcycle every day. He often came to see her, and every time he came, he asked her for money. Sometimes I see them being very affectionate, and more often I see her crying and cursing bitterly, complaining about how she married such a man. Sometimes a younger girl came to see her, who was her good friend. Once during a festival, the girl came to see her and filled a box full of dumplings in an insulated lunch box, stuffed with beef—perhaps because I seldom eat dumplings before, those are the rare and delicious dumplings in my memory. The woman became more and more sad after that, and I vaguely knew from my mother that her best friend was having an affair with her husband. Gradually, the ward became quieter and quieter, and one night the silent old lady was carried away. Then I was discharged from the hospital. But this movie reminds me of the woman with the red rose again.
Before watching this movie, I always thought that Frieda's life was more painful than pain. I had no idea that she had created and enjoyed such a splendid life, she could even dance!
Born in 1907, she has been independent since she was a child. In order to live and die with the Mexican Revolution, she claimed to have been born in 1910. The chaotic political situation, the passion of revolution, and the suffering of life together gave birth to the flower of Frida's art.
The film does not focus much on physical suffering. Instead of earning cheap tears of sympathy, Moruo lets the colorful butterflies on the plaster let loose the dreams in her heart. Compared to the physical pain, the mental and emotional torment is what makes people want to talk about it. Compared with other people who have the same experience, Frida is fortunate to find a way to express herself - painting. Also because of painting, she is destined to encounter Diego. For Frida of Girls' Generation, Diego and a model had sex in front of her eyes as novel and fun, but how did she know that she would fall in love with such a man, and this scene will be repeated again and again appeared in front of her eyes. In 1929 Frieda happily became his third wife, despite knowing that Diego was romantic. This relationship was destined to be devastated from the very beginning. From Diego's affair to two people who are unwilling to be alone, they have been divided and closed countless times, including a divorce in 1939 and a remarriage in 1940. It is said that a doctor made such a diagnosis to Diego: not suitable for monogamy. Diego accepted the diagnosis with great joy, which made him more assertive and unscrupulous when he was indulging in sex, "I can't be biologically loyal to a woman." Diego said sex was like peeing, not emotional. "I give more feelings when I shake hands." In the film, Frida when she was a girl once asked her father: What is the most important thing in marriage? Her father said: Bad memory. But no matter how bad the memory is, it can't hold back the repeated reminders again and again. Only the person you love can hurt you the most, not to mention that he will always patch your wounds before they heal, and rub them with salt?
Desperate Frida was also looking for an outlet for her feelings, but whether it was sex with other men or sex with other women, she was still hopelessly in love with Diego who was so dissolute.
For Frida, Diego was a comrade on the revolutionary road, a colleague, a good friend, but never a real husband. The anger reached its peak when he watched Diego copulate with his own sister, and then there was sad peace. Diego begged for Frida's forgiveness outside the door. She got up and said lightly: I have had two accidents in my life, a car accident and you. And you are worse. Diego is her wayward child who will never grow up, and he uses her love as a threat, a naked threat.
In the end, when both of them had hurt each other to pieces, and when neither of them had the strength to be angry, happy or sad and desperate, Diego returned to Frieda's side. It has to be this way - wasting your best days and squandering your most precious passions - to know what you really want. "Eventually you'll find that you can endure more pain than you think," Frieda said
. Diego burst into tears when Picasso praised Frida's work. In an exhibition of Frieda's paintings, Diego said: "Here, I am not recommending her as a husband, but as an admirer of her works. Her works are sad, tender, and hard. Such as steel, as delicate as butterfly wings, as lovely and beautiful as a moving smile, and as deep and cruel as a bitter life." Frieda's works interweave reality and fantasy, as if the two were born into one, from the Not separated. A third of her works are self-portraits. Frieda doesn't mind the outside world's definition of herself, "These are the most candid confessions about myself," Frieda once wrote: "My themes have always been my feelings, my state of mind, and my feelings about the outside world. In response, I just use 'I' to reproduce all this, which is the most authentic expression of myself from the inside out.
Frida once said to a lover: "You deserve the best, because you are this glitzy world. One of the few people in my life who can be honest with themselves, and that's the only thing that matters in this world. "
In addition to the story itself, Elliot Goldenthal's music is very moving, especially the chanting of the old lady in the tavern. This movie is still star-studded, except for Ashley Judd (Ashley Judd) who steals the scene, Antonio Banderas and Edward Norton are all short-lived and inexplicable. Ashley Judd's Tina Modotti addresses Frida and Diego's wedding: "I don't believe in marriage. At worst, it's a hostile political game, with a big heart. Narrow men imprison women under the guise of tradition or religion; at best, it's a joyous illusion - two people in love who are destined to torture each other miserably, sadly they're getting married I didn't know anything about it at the time. But, but if two people who love each other know their fate and go there happily, then I would say that marriage is neither a conservative trick nor an illusion of joy. I would say something like this The union was radical, it was brave, and it was very romantic."
An overdose of drugs and alcohol eventually ended Frieda's life at the age of 47.
She said: I hope it is a blessing to leave, I hope I will never come back.
She is indeed qualified to say such decisive words.
Love and marriage are the most important propositions in every woman's life. Looking back, I still seem to be able to see the pale little girl on the sickbed back then, unswervingly believing that the prince and princess will live a happy life from now on. Later, although I knew it was a fairy tale, I still had fantasies in my heart. Then, compromise to the point that if a right relationship can’t make you better, it should at least show your better side. But when such a relationship - which can't help but expose your ugliness - suspicion, jealousy, deceit - came, I began to believe that all love is looking for another self. Just like a woman with a red rose, she doesn't have to complain about why she has a bad fate and would marry such a man. It is precisely because she is that kind of her that she will fall in love with that kind of him. The meaning of love is not to make you better, it is to make you more complete. Just like the front and back of a coin, with Frida on the front and Diego on the back, it is a complete coin only when they are one. It may witness prosperity and wealth, or it may roll into the gutter and never see the light of day, but, as a complete coin, the front and the back are always together.
