    ⒈ Watching the movie directly without looking at the cast list, sometimes you will be pleasantly surprised: Edward Norton (played soy sauce in many movies), Antonio Banderas and Geoffrey Rush; ⒉Frieda believes in communism, and at the same time takes drugs, alcohol, and bisexuality, and has many male and female lovers and romantic affairs; she loves her husband deeply, but she is unfaithful to each other, and each lives a life of mutual harm; 3 interspersed in it The animation is great.

    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.

Frida quotes

  • Frida Kahlo: At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.

  • Diego Rivera: There was this skinny kid with these eyebrows shouting up at me, "Diego, I want to show you my paintings!" But, of course, she made me come down to her, and I did, and I've never stopped looking. But I want to speak about Frida not as her husband, but as an artist. I admire her. Her work is acid and tender... hard as steel... and fine as a butterfly's wing. Loveable as a smile... cruel as... the bitterness of life. I don't believe... that ever before has a women put such agonized poetry on canvas.

    Frida Kahlo: [as she's brought into the gallery] Shut up, panzon. Who died?
