Belong to My Movies of the Winter of 2004

This Mexican female painter with her eyebrows connected, because of the sequelae left by the car accident, finally had iron hoops all over her body. She smoked, drank, and used drugs, and her relationship with her husband and painting mentor, Rivera, who said he only loved her, promised to be only loyal to her, but kept sleeping with other female models. She was hysterical again and again.
She was with him all the time, even though she was still in love with the female photographer, even though she lived a wild life. Their husband and wife were also influential figures during the Mexican Revolution and influenced the entire revival of Mexican painting. After she left, she started writing to him, telling Rivera how much she needed him and how much she loved him. Because of the aftermath of the car accident, she couldn't have a child, so she quietly painted in front of the aborted fetus in a glass bottle. She was lying on the bed with the little child tied to her stomach like a balloon, surrounded by beautiful grass and blue sky.
When the painting turned around, I cried like Rivera. Watching her smoke and sing like crazy, I suddenly thought of Shi Kang's words: Fight for death. We are all fighting for death and it never stops. Salma Hayek also has an excellent performance in this film, with a bright smile, straight and white teeth, and always has a strong expression, unstoppable and powerless. When she was 29 years old, she was about to die. She watched herself die slowly. She painted herself in a hoop. She was accompanied by a lover. She continued to take drugs and smoke. Then she died.
All her lovers, including those who have only slept, loved her. I believe so.


In 2004 I was still so hypocritical.
Of course, it would be difficult to watch three boring films in a row in the video room in one afternoon without being hypocritical. Besides, I was still preparing for Level 4.
