Frida

"Frida" was an empowering film reguarding woman. To me it embraced the strength and capabilites a female obtains. Frida, is an inspirational individual that expresses her emotions through painting. She creates these amazing pieces of work as a result of her own experiences. From heartache to physical trama, she stayed strong through it all, living as if everyday was her last. Her painting reflected pain yet as the same time provoked a sweetness. Being a woman I admire her perserverence and cherish her work because it gives off a sense of strength. She gives me faith that no matter the obstacle, overcoming it is not the impossible. Espeacially during the time period of her work, she symbolized hope for oppressed woman. I enjoyed this film. It concentrated on the importance of woman and their capibilites. Woman fight with the fact that today in society they are portrayed as inferior. We make 70 cents to every dollar a man does. Men are "dominent" and control. Only men can with stand a serious amount of physical pain. What Frida did was prove these obnoxious stero types to be false. She was in control and answered to no one but herself. Her husband was the one who came running back to her. She is role model in her actions alone.
