Frida

Frida Kahlo played by Selma Hayek in the movie "Frida" was a very inspirational story of the life, death and artistic development of Frida Kahlo. After a tragic accident you begin to see Frida develop her art and express herself through the median of paint.
What I enjoyed most about the movie is how the director pained out from an image of own of Fridas works of art into a live action scene remenancing on Frida's life. It was interesting to see her love fued with her husband Diego and his battle with infidelity  Strikingly Frida experiments with her sexuality and even has a relationship with one of Diego's mistresses.
This story is filled with much heart ache, and over coming of obstacles and how art is used as a self expression as well as a means of therapeutic remedy. Her art to me resembles her appreciation of her self as well as the deepening sadness that has unfolded into her life. Frida paints metaphorical pieces intertwining her relationship of self worth and of nature. Fridas art not only tells us a story but also expresses to us many feelings of sadness, hurt, loneliness, pain, and suffering.
The film was an excellent narrative of some important happenings throughout Fridas life. I would highly recommend watching this movie as it is as entertaining as it is informational.
