Last night I watched a movie the story was about the life of Frieda Kahlo played by (Salma Hayek)and her husband Diego Rivera played by (Alfred Molina). 

 Artist Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyocoán, Mexico City, Mexico. Considered one of Mexico's greatest artists, Frieda Kahlo began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident. Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929. If you want to understand this artist watch the movie Salma Hayek is one of my favorite actors and Salma plays this role very well. Salma portrays Frida in such a manner that you start think it is Frieda and why she started painting and why she painted from the heart.
Initial release: October 25, 2002 (USA)
Director: Julie Taymor
Featured song: Burn It Blue
Box office: 56.3 million USD
