- You can carve us into a thousand pictures, but a hundred years later, we will still be returned to ashes.
- but we are still drawing.
- No, that's not us, it's an echo of ourselves.

It is said to be a true story. I generally don't like tanmei works based on real events. Danmei, Danmei, is indulging in beauty, and reality is often not so beautiful. It is said that Dalí disclosed this ambiguous relationship in his memoirs in his later years, which made the film. Besides Dali himself, who can know whether what he said is true? Not to mention the interpretation of the director and screenwriter of the film, how the truth has become. Before I started watching, I thought about some of these things, isn't this a fanfic? Original oriented.

I don’t know if I’m influenced by these preconceived prejudices or not. My focus on this film is a bit strange. It is translated as “Dalí and his lover”. What touched me the most was not the love affair between the two, but Federico’s freedom to publish. That scene in the manifesto, "We do this not from romantic fantasies, nor from the rhetoric of students in pubs, it's simple, it's just talk, true freedom doesn't come easily, it's hard, painful, and dangerous, but I still crave it, and I'm willing to work for it. No matter who I decide to be, what life I choose, whoever I choose to be with, to be friends, it's my right, it's our right.

" Said, did it. Both Louis and Dalí thought that the despotism of Spain had rotted hopelessly, so they fled to Paris, which they thought was more free, and repeatedly urged Federico to leave with them, but Federlock couldn't. will not leave.

At that time, I didn't understand why he didn't leave, and I was still wondering if he was a little cowardly and didn't even have the courage to leave his hometown and venture outside. When I saw him say this statement, I suddenly understood. Which is easier to leave, or stay and fight for a better country? He told Louis that he witnessed the slaughter of Qingguang in a neighboring village by the dictator when he was a child, saying that this made him inseparable from Spain. Did Louis understand what he meant at that time? It may be better to spread wings and fly in a foreign country, to leave everything that rots behind, but to stay means to live with it, to fight it, to bleed, and maybe even to die, but someone has to do it, right? Art should let politics go away, but this cannot be a reason to escape. Art is born to make the world a better place, so it has an obligation to everything that can make human beings a better place. If Louis and Dali understood him at the time, would they have made such a film to humiliate him?

Enjoying much improved freedom and democracy today than it was a hundred years ago, I am truly grateful to the pioneers who fought for this for us.

The photography and music in this film are very delicate. Personally, I think the casting is also very appropriate, the image is suitable, and the acting is also very good. The English with some accents sounds more attractive to me. Is this a Spanish movie? I don't know why, but it feels very British. The scene of kissing in the lake under the moon, I patronized and sighed that the lake water was clear, my focus was really strange, 囧.
