"I wish to leave are fortunate. I hope never to return." Mexican painter Frida Kahlo

whole film is always immersed strong views in Mexico and imaginative sad music and colors. The peacocks strolling leisurely in the courtyard, the emerald green cacti in the sand, the red flowers blooming in the black hair, the wagging white skirt...

The beauty of such heavy makeup almost made me forget those misfortunes. Those fragmented limbs and milky tears. The skinny girl with eyebrows was reflected in my mind. At the end of the film, her smile is still in my eyes. She wears a sassy and heroic smile in men's clothing, a smile that is immersed in the joy of pregnancy, a smile that tolerates her husband and sister's affair, and The female singer laughs flirtingly, smiles with her skirt wagging in the tango dance music...

This kind of charm will be conquered by her, regardless of whether it is male or female.

Unfortunately, at the age of eighteen, Frida suffered a car accident that changed her life. The accident caused her spine to be broken in three places, her femur and ribs were completely shattered, her pelvis was broken in three places, her thigh was fractured in eleven places, and her right foot was completely squashed. A broken steel-gold handrail on the bus pierced her body into and out of her vagina, leaving her almost infertile. The cumbersome and painful operations continued to be repeated throughout her lifetime. She survived miraculously, lying on the bed like a beautiful human bone puzzle. The thick white plaster tightly wrapped her whole body, and in the imaginable pain, she still held the paintbrush and painted butterflies on the steel corset.

But destiny will always lead people elsewhere. Not long after his body recovered, Frida met the muralist Diego Rivera again. They fell in love quickly and soon married. The Frida family from the traditional Mexican family held a traditional grand wedding for her, and the prostitute Rivera also returned home and became a good husband. Later they had a child, but they miscarried because of Frida's too weak body. Afterwards, she insisted on asking the doctor to come to the glass jar containing her unformed baby and drew him into the painting. Frida, whose health deteriorated rapidly, began to fall into an uncontrollable gloomy mood. In the fierce love, she and Rivera hurt each other fiercely and forgave each other. Rivera never really left her until Frida died in the Blue House in Khoiokan on July 13, 1954.

For most of his life, Freda was taboo in a variety of iron, leather, and plaster corsets. The piercing pain forced her to rely on morphine for pain relief. In 1953, she had to be amputated from below the knee due to gangrene in her right foot. It was in this torment that she left more than two hundred works. There are fragments of limbs, exposed hearts, stabbed deer, unformed babies, vine-veined bodies, uterus and blood donors in the paintings. The bed, in addition to the tightly held hands in the painting and the small skirt hanging outside the window, also make people open a little beautiful and longing.

When she was dying, she said to Diego Rivera:
After I die, please cremate me instead of burial, because I have been lying down for too long.
