Tina Modotti's toast

I don't believe in marriage. I really don't! Let me be clear about that.

I think at worst it's a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense.

At best, it's a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other.

But, when two people know that, and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway, then I don't think it's conservative or delusional. I think it's radical and courageous and very romantic.

    It is a blockbuster film with strong colors and moving surreal perspectives, but maybe because of the limited duration of the film, I feel like I have just watched a few clips of Frida's life, and as a female painter, I basically didn't mention the idea of ​​​​creating works. On her love-hate entanglement with Rivera. Just how special she is portrayed so little.
