My suffering comes from you

The woman in the picture above has experienced

A car accident nearly killed her,

More than 30 surgeries left her in excruciating pain.

I have seen my husband cheating in marriage countless times.

Countless extramarital affairs with men and women.

She drew all of her experiences.

In 1939, she attended Duchamp's party with Picasso in hand.

Picasso once wrote to her husband, Diego, a famous muralist, after feasting her, saying: "Neither I nor you can paint such a good self-portrait of her."

Today, the meat pad is here to talk to you: this woman with straight eyebrows and big eyes has fascinated many painters.

In 2002, director Julie Taymor directed a film named after the woman: Frida. From all angles, it is a movie worth watching, with a good plot and visual expression.

(Still from the movie "Frida")

Of course, the premise of a biographical film is that the life of the biographical protagonist is not conventional.

"I'm not sick, I'm just broken. But as long as I can draw, I'm happy."

Since childhood, Frida was different from others.

Pulling his little boyfriend and friends, he went to the church to peek at the painter and the nude model kissing.

Taking a group photo at home, Frida came out wearing a tall and straight men's suit, picked a rose, and put it in his chest pocket.

So handsome too! (The nosebleed from the meat pad is about to flow out)

As the family photo freezes, the picture transitions to a mural, in front of which Frida can see in awe. This is Diego's painting. She didn't know at this time that this man would accompany her for the rest of her life, the sea (yin) withered (hun) and the stone (bu) was rotten (san).

I was so fascinated by the painting that I almost missed the bus. Frida's little boyfriend dragged her and ran on the road. This long shot of running is very interesting. This is the last chance in Frida's life to run so fast. .

The bus that Frida was on was suddenly out of control, and she looked at the opposite corner in horror.

With a loud bang, the bus slammed into the wall. At this time, the rhythm of the picture changes from fast to slow, the people in the car slowly fall down, and the gold powder given to Frida by the painter is slowly scattered from her hand. All rapid falls are decelerating, and all reality becomes unreal. As the picture expresses, the meat pad feels that the car accident is more like a crossing for Frida.

The spine, collarbone, 2 ribs were broken, the pelvis was broken in 3 places, the metal rod entered the right side of the body and came out of the vagina, and the right foot was broken in 11 places. After the car accident, Frida lay on the hospital bed all day with her paintings. She painted on the plaster wrapped around her body. The butterflies on the plaster became more and more beautiful, and her paintings became more and more enthusiastic and energetic. Incredible. Maybe it's too painful, and it's more necessary to find the strength of life in painting.

"Diego, I've had two big accidents in my life, the car accident and you, you're the worst one"

When she could start to get out of bed and walk, she began to consider selling paintings to support herself, so she asked the painter Diego Rivera to guide her paintings. This was the first official meeting between Frida and Diego.

The two admired each other's paintings and characters, and they became teachers and students, friends, and married.

At that time, Diego was 42 years old, weighing 136 kg, married twice, and experienced countless romantic affairs, while Frida was only 22 years old, petite and weak, so Frida's mother was very uncomfortable. approve of their marriage. But Frida doesn't care about these. She clearly knows Diego's true appearance, but she still decides to marry him.

(Frida: "Frida and Rivera")

The picture deduced by this lens is Frida's work, called "Frida and Rivera". This is the initial appearance of their marriage, happy and beautiful.

Although Diego promised Frida that he would be loyal to her for the rest of his life, he broke his promise after the marriage. The romantic Diego's constant flirting and relationships with models, movie stars, and his students cause Frida a lot of pain.

Despite this, Frida still loves Diego deeply, and she has not separated from him, and she wants to have a child for him. Frida longed to be a mother, but as if fate had tricked her, the more she longed, the less she could get it, and she became very haggard after repeated miscarriages.

(Frida: "Henry Ford Hospital")

This painting is the work of Frida after her miscarriage. Many people say it is surreal, but Frida thinks that what she painted is reality. Indeed, babies, withered flowers, surgery, and the separation of organs are her real life.

Frida and Diego continued to live like this until one day, when Frida witnessed her husband Diego having an affair with her beloved sister, she was furious on the spot.

Afterwards, she drank all day and cut off one of her long hair.

(Frida: "Sister")

The reason why the sexual relationship between her husband and her sister will be the trigger for Frida's rage is because she really loves her sister, and in the garden at home, she once painted a portrait of her sister. Back then, the painting was full of love and innocence.

(Frida: "Poke a few times a few times")

After this incident, Frida painted another painting, and some people saw it and said, "What the hell is this?" Some people saw her and thought she was a little violent. When a friend asked what the painting was, Frida simply said:

Don't cry, don't make trouble, as if everything has passed, this kind of indifference is the most sad part of the meat pad.

"I paint self-portraits because I'm often alone and because I'm the person I know best."

Frida goes crazy during her painful relationship with Rivera. She flirted with all kinds of men and women he liked, as if in revenge.

She moved out of their home and lived a separated life. In 1939, the two divorced. After the marriage, Frida missed Diego very much, and there was a vague pain and hatred behind the miss.

(Frida: "The Two Fridas")

She painted this picture: "Two Fridas", one is Frida who loves Diego deeply, and the other is Frida who hates Diego. The meat pad searched for relevant information and found that this is the film's interpretation of this painting. Frida himself said: This painting is a friend that he imagined when he was a child.

Later, Frida's health deteriorated, and by the time she painted this painting, she had undergone dozens of surgeries.

(Frida: "Self-Portrait")

When I first saw this painting, I thought it was very strange for this artist to draw a self-portrait like this. Looking at it now, I feel like crying a little bit, the pain that every iron nail is pierced into my body is not something that ordinary people can bear.

A year later, Diego found Frida, and they got back together again. Here, the film's line is very touching, "Frida, I miss the days we were together." In the flesh pad's view, the relationship between the couple is more about the mutual attraction of the soul, and they are addicted to each other, like drugs.

"I hope my death is a happy one, and I don't want to come back."

In 1953, Frida had her first (and last) exhibition of her paintings in Mexico. The woman was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't move, so she was carried to the exhibition site.

Frida died in 1954. Before leaving, she wrote in her diary: "I hope my death is a happy one, and I don't want to come back."

Frida's life was painful and tortured, but also joyful and enjoyable. The meat pad does not want to use the words "inspirational" and "optimistic" to describe Frida, which are too vulgar to be worthy of her. Frida's paintings, like hers, are unique and special. She put aside her own pain and love, real, bloody, and showing you, as if showing you, she will feel better.
