Little Ashes' translation of Dalí and his lover is a bit far-fetched (it's ridiculous to stress the category of gay movies). Personally, I think Ashes of Embers seems more suitable. Their love, Dali and Lorca, burns in Madrid, burns in Cadaques, burns in Spain, burns in nothingness, and in the end only the ashes of embers remain.
Dali is a coward. He said that to go beyond the ordinary is to break the standard and break the rules, but he did not have the courage to admit (either to himself or others) that he loves Lorca. Fame, fortune, and the worship of everyone cover the self, cover love, cover everything. Dali is just a coward wrapped in his own body. He let Lorca be himself, but he hides himself. He only dares to put on a false cloak after tilting his love, grief and tears with a paintbrush. He wants Lorca to accommodate his own willfulness and betrayal, but chooses to forget who pushed Lorca away, who left without a word, who only tried to save it 8 years later (and in a very egoistic way) . He thought the world revolved around him, or wanted the world to revolve around him, except for love.
The review of the movie seems to be bad (IMDb only gave it 6.5), I think it should be higher, the plot is laid out like Lorca's poems, it just flows slowly and spontaneously, without external force, everything flows out naturally , the sea under the moonlight is especially beautiful, the temptation of the siren song makes one forget and the other crazy. Ignoring the strange tones of Spanish English (actually speaking Spanish is good, it should be to take care of Pattinson...), the film does not appear to be overly deliberate in dealing with politics, the background music is very good, and there is no random play on the theme of same-sex love, Although Pattinson's acting skills are still to be considered, I can feel Dali and Lorca alive and that's enough.
In addition, what I can't help but complain about is that it reminds me of Total Eclipse, the same two people who were attracted by each other's talents, also a love without results, also a selfless dedication, one who asked for contempt, also because of the death of one party The end of the line is just that Wilma will never forget Rimbaud, and Dali. Aside from paintings and memories of his later years, Dali is left with nothing but ashes of embers, Little Ashes.
I really like the Magdalena in it, and Ino is also a true temperament woman
