Spanish films are always a visual feast. This is naturally derived from the colors of Spain and Latin America, how strong and bright colors are, like the palette left by God on earth. I admire their buildings, which are full of vigorous imagination, like huge and juicy flowers that grow in the tropics, and they have too strong desires for life to express. Even the houses on the street absolutely reject the mediocre gray and white, but indulge in sapphire blue, red, bright yellow, fairy tale houses.
(I know that "Frida" has nothing to do with Spanish movies. Writing the beginning like this will cause misunderstandings and then be criticized: P here specifically corrects the explanation.
I did not intend to comment on this movie at the beginning, just because of the previous paragraph about I want to express the idea of architecture, so I wrote the beginning like this. You can remove it:) The following is about the movie. )
Is in Mexico City.
At first I thought that Frida was really not a beauty. Her thick black eyebrows were joined together at the center of her eyebrows, which was too rigid, especially in contrast to her elegant and soft sister. Taking a family portrait at her sister's wedding, she put on men's clothes, and she was very heroic. However, when she ushered in her wedding, Frida in costume was really stunning. The white wedding dress has made her like a queen, but when she changed into a green silk skirt and a scarlet shawl and came out, she overwhelmed all beings. Big red and big green can be worthy of such a gorgeous and noble, completely let me accept such a strong aesthetic. What I thought at the time was that the harsh-taste Master Shanel was going to be silent about this. After seeing her in New York and Paris, she was still surrounded by red flowers, and the ladies and ladies all around would be dimmed. Perhaps the beauty of a woman lies not in interpreting the so-called elegant taste, but in emphasizing and showing her existence. A unique sense of presence is enough. Because women can and should exist independently of the world, eternal stunners. She can have no social status, dress and talk without following the etiquette and customs, beautiful women are born to shine.
The first time she made me admire, it was the one where she was drinking and dancing. At that time she was just a little girl who was taken to the party for the first time. Her mentor and later husband Diego introduced her to the mistress: "This is Frida Kahlo, she is an excellent painter." , Her eyes were bright and smiled and corrected: "She wants to be an excellent painter." The charming hostess calmed down the quarrel between the two men with a bottle of wine, saying: "Whoever can drink the most can dance with me." Frida unexpectedly picked up the wine bottle, drank it proudly, and then said: "I and you, can you?" A Latin dance of two women absolutely conquered the audience, wandering in the air. The sexy and ambiguous atmosphere is not so much flirting, but more conquering between two women who also have a strong magnetic field. They can't help but admire and seduce them.
The director’s approach surprised me, using surrealist expressions, full of imagination and talent, and very well matched Frida’s paintings. It seems that this technique is often seen in Spanish movies, bold and cute. It is also necessary to mention that the soundtrack of the movie, throughout, is as rich as the color of the movie, and it also leaves a deep impression of talent.
Just like her painting on the sick bed, Frida has endured physical trauma and pain throughout her life, car accidents, surgery, miscarriage, and the sequelae that have entangled her all her life, and she can only expound and release them in her paintings. I think that maybe because she was in pain, painting became an indispensable way of speech in her life, just like grasping a ribbon connecting with the world. At the same time, she is not a self-pity and self-pity woman. She always maintains a sense of humor that is self-deprecating. She is bold and courageous like a man. She seems to have always been used to pain and accepts pain without caring. In the end, she asked to cremate herself, and she didn't want to come back. She has a huge burning vitality throughout her life. The so-called vitality is blooming flowers blooming on the ruins of life.
I admire such a warmly blooming woman. They are like beautiful butterflies, and life is a raging fire. "Frida" is a tribute to such a life.
