Frida

[stilltrucking]

It took me maybe eight hours to watch it. I keep rewinding and watching some scenes over and over. Diego so clueless about her hurt when he fucked her sister. He had betrayed her by taking the one woman she could not have as a lover too. What a movie. What an amazing film.

I wonder how much of the movie is fact?

let me guess. a few of those scenes you watched "over and over" again were scene featuring a nude Selma Hayek and friends?

The tango scene
The one where Anthony Banderas said "I would rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend."
The final scene of the burning bed.
The animation sequence with the puppets when she is in the hospital.
The scene where she tells him that”there are two terrible things that have happened to me Diego, the trolley accident and you. You are by far the worse of the two. This after she finds out that he has fucked her sister.
The whole sequence with Trotsky I liked a lot.
The scene in the Rockefeller center when junior comes in with his goons. I suppose I watched the whole movie four times now that I think about it.

dey shoulda used poetic license, and have Trotsky survive this one and start a secret hideaway in the mountains where he trains an army and writes books and is soon joined by Che after the CIA/Bolivian troops kill Guevara's double in S.A. and the group eventually reemerges in the year 2009 (when Trotsky is like age of what 130? no matter) to take over Mexicon and then the United States in a revolution. Yeah, that'd have been a good ending to Frida.

i'll bet the editors would've cut it out though. too fantastic.

that movie needed more chicks kissing chicks and less unibrow.

The book the movie was based on is incredible...even though I am familiar with Frida's tragic demise...I was in mourning by the end of the book....
