      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...

      Women can live like this

      I hardly read any biographical books or movies. This movie is the first, and it shocked me no less than "Alive" and "Life is Beautiful". I'm also going to take a few days to watch it a few times a day, just like I did with "Alive" and "Life is Beautiful."

      Frida, this legendary Mexican woman, she is so charming.

      The image at the beginning of the film is Frida's home, and the whole picture is filled with ocean blue and Chinese red. Vibrant colors are pleasing to the eye. The...

      film on canvas

      When I first saw Frida's paintings many years ago, I was struck by the mix of beauty and cruelty. The bloody organs were ripped apart and attached to the pretty faces, until later the Japanese inherited this style for manga.
      I don't know whether to use "painting" and "bright" to describe this movie. On the one hand, it creates a visual spectacle, on the other it is flat, both the characters inside and the space in the shot.
      Frida's saga enriches the plot, and the director doesn't have...

      Pain is deeper than love


      I just wanted to talk about the love between Frida and Diego.

      I feel that although this kind of love is very tangled and painful, it is very deep.

      I feel that many people's love is very superficial now. Marriage, age, material conditions, ah, is it suitable, whether the education is enough, how is the job, whether there is a house... Now there are still many unmarried people who know love, and how many married people have love.

      I think instead of perfunctory...

      Frida - the artistic life of an erotic artist

      At first, it seemed that I was biased to simply define it as an erotic film. In fact, in addition to the sex scene, it was more about Frida, the legendary life famous in the early 20th century, and the best for Mexican culture and customs. The prying eyes (at least the song is very nice and distinctive); in the eyes of ordinary people, a woman with a physical disability, drinking like water all day long, and lasciviousness was the least tolerated by Mexico at that time, and God will always try...

      The magnificent life of the artist. "There have been two big accidents in my life, one is a car accident, one is you, you are more serious." This is Frida's love for Diego. At a low point in Frida's life, Diego asked Frida to re-marry him. Frida cried, "The lame dog and the woman's tears cannot be trusted." Diego said, "This is...

      The legendary and bumpy life of the famous painter Frida. Both physically and emotionally, they are fragmented, suffering and tormented. "I've had two accidental fatal blows in my life, hitting my street car and encountering Rivera." The love with Rivera is a perfect fit in the soul, but the other party cannot give the body and mind unity. The legendary life experience has made Frida, her self-portrait has a typical self-image - painful cry and desire for attention, sharp and gentle, hard as...

      She is a one-of-a-kind woman, Qi Cai. She is red even if it used to be blue. Such a lively and vivid biopic. The most touching second marriage proposal, the most exciting is that every time with the heart of Spain in the film, my favorite scene is the burning fire bed at the end. Who can not love this woman, who can fall down and get up again after extreme joy and sorrow, I wish a happy silver...

    Movie quotes

    • Diego Rivera: Unfortunately, I'm physiologically incapable of fidelity.

    • Diego Rivera: [upon learning Frida has been unfaithful to him with Leon Trotsky] You've broken my heart, Frida.

      Frida Kahlo: It hurts doesn't it? But why? It was just a fuck, like a handshake.

      Diego Rivera: No. I told you who I was when you married me.

      Frida Kahlo: Yes, you did, and I married you anyway. And, you promised to be loyal. You have been my comrade, my fellow artist... my best friend. But you've never been my husband.

    • Frida Kahlo: [Carried in her bed, arriving at her exhibition in Mexico] Shut up Panzone. Who died? Where is the music? You see doctor, I followed your orders. I didn't leave my bed.
