Sepiatone Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The big thing here in Detroit is the presentation of both a musical and art exhibit concerning both FRIDA KAHLO and DIEGO RIVERA. And it made me think of something... Some years back( not TOO many) there was a movie made about the life of artist FRIDA KAHLO starring SALMA HAYEK. Now, I've seen both photos and paintings of MS. KAHLO, and she was NOT a raving beauty. For Ms. HAYEK to play her in a movie would have called for the make-up man or team to REALLY "ugly her up". And, for being able to do THAT, they SHOULD have won an OSCAR! It CAN'T be easy to "uglify" SALMA HAYEK!! Sepiatone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Yes, that make-up team should have won an Oscar but after that been shot for messing with the raving beauty that Salma Hayek is. This is a case where I don't wish for a film to be realistic when dealing with historical characters. Don't mess with Salma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Really good movie, though. I know I really enjoyed it anyway, and thought it one of the best biopics I've ever watched. (...beautiful cinematography especially) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
