The life of artist Frida Kahlo--from her complex and enduring relationship with her mentor and husband, Diego Rivera, to her illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky, to her provocative romantic entanglements with women, Frida lived a bold and uncompromising life as a political, artistic, and sexual revolutionary.
It's really interesting for me that 2 themes was connected with each other in the film "Frida": the theme of the art and the theme of the person's privet life. That's why i can say with the confidence that I'm deeply impressed by this film. I like the film because it's not only about the art and the artist but also about devoted love, life difficulties, tragical moments, unfaithfulnss and treachery. This film about a real, complete life of a talented artist. I really admire the main character Frida how she holded her own and in all dismal cases she was strong and patient. This film leaves much room for meditation. And after watching it, i not only got to know about this artist and the art of that time, but also saw how people could pass all negetive situations with dignity. So, I like it very much!
Good!
