Combination of Elephant and Dove:
"Elephant" paints a large wall, while petite Frida just holds a drawing board and draws a small scale. Two people who came together because of finding Diego to identify his painting talent.
She and his ex-wife: the nonsense at the wedding banquet - beautiful legs and a pair of lame legs, living upstairs and always delivering food to Diego... Although Frida was jealous and angry, she still saw the weakness and helplessness of this woman, and she also Trying to draw the state of this woman.
At the wedding banquet "I guess they can be together for half a year" "No, I bet for two months". All of this is a foreshadowing of subsequent infidelity and betrayal.
Diego is a charismatic man. He is really praising the beautiful side of every woman, and I believe, and I also believe, that he really thinks making love is like holding a heavier handshake. It's just that this state cannot be tolerated by women. From the first time she saw him at school, it seemed to be a metaphor, that Diego's lingering with a nude model was drunk by Frida "at least it won't make you unfaithful to your wife".
But this way Diego doesn't know what's more important than the Russian politician who fled, he and another nude model, many women in the United States, and finally her own sister.
Thus, a long life of mutual love and mutual infidelity.
Frida's bisexuality also has a lot of foreshadowing in the movie, including dressing up as a boy for the family photo at the beginning, the ambiguous dance when Diego was first taken to the dance, until the little coffee in the United States The scene in the museum, as well as the naked footage of the French singers, made me really accept this reality. After reading it, I checked, and she was really an open bisexual.
The ordeal:
If you just read the plot above, you might think that this is a movie about an artist's wanton and promiscuous story. Then you have to magnify all of this in another big context, "survival", "longing for life", and "dare to love and hate to live".
A car accident at the age of 18 split her spine in three places, shattering her femur and ribs. The pelvis was ruptured in three places, the thigh was broken in eleven places, and the right foot was completely crushed. Since then, her whole life has been accompanied by osteopathic surgery every once in a while - "Breaking all the bones on the body and putting them together again, I don't know what the pain is anymore."
Her boyfriend at school gave her a few books after her injury, and then told her that he was going to Europe. Frida said: Please leave before I finish painting the butterfly.
When she danced that dance at the ball, she was still a lame person, but with the arrogance she drank and the intoxication with red flowers in her mouth, she faced it calmly and got used to it.
The painting of her naked upper body wrapped in a fixed body bracket and covered with arrows looks like a combination of Joan of Arc and Saint Sebastian (the youth shot by arrows), but in fact she is looking in the mirror I painted it calmly by myself.
In the end, she cut off her toes, amputated her limbs, and relied on morphine injections to relieve the pain. She still sat on her side and continued to paint.
The entire film combines Frida's paintings with faithful records of life in a surreal way. The married self and Diego, the two Fridas, the toe in the bathtub, the aborted child, and the self who was cremated at the end... The unfolding of the picture scroll of her life and the record she wrote add radiance and radiance to each other, making it a wonderful viewing experience. On one side, the details of the real story are touching, while on the other side is the unique psychedelic style in the eyes of the artist after artistic processing.
The unique beauty of Mexico:
Born in the "Blue House", this house has been shown many times in the film with the rise and fall of the age. The prosperous plants on the courtyard and the vividness of the colors on the walls are the sustenance and degree of hope for life.
"The colors of Latin America are so intense and bright, like the palette of God left in the world. I admire their architecture, full of vigorous imagination, like huge and succulent flowers growing in the tropics, There are too strong desires for life that need to be expressed. Even the houses on the street absolutely reject the mediocre gray and white, but indulge in sapphire blue, bright red, bright yellow, and fairy tale houses.”
Her beauty has always been different from ordinary people. Compared with her sister's exquisite and slenderness, her connected eyebrows and her well-defined face have never been an obstacle to her charm.
She is nostalgic for this land, as she told Diego in the United States, Mexico is her home, and her lifelong hope is to hold her own art exhibition in the motherland.
When she got married, she changed from a white wedding dress to a green dress and red ornaments, which seemed to declare this attachment to her homeland; the Mexican-embroidered dress she swayed in the high-rise buildings and colorful billboards in her American home; she did it in France. During the exhibition, the wearing of jingle bells and flowers on the head made those French women in white fur and long black dresses instantly pale and monotonous.
This is her unique presence.
"As hard as steel, as fragile as butterfly wings, joy as wine, sadness as suffering in life."
This is Diego's last comment on Frida's work. There is no substitute.
