FRIDA review

[Thomas Seay]

I dont know how this discussion morphed into this.
First, Martha made some excellent points about how the
movie concealed Kahlo's handicap.  And then Marta and
I both speculated that it was because the actress was
going to be pushed as a "bimbo" (I dont know why bimbo
is used, the correct word would be "bimba") and that
it wouldn't have been sexy if the withered leg had
been put into evidence.

Obviously whether or not an actress wears diaphanous
clothing or none at all does not reflect on her acting
ability.  However someone (whether the actress,
director or producer) decided that "sex appeal" was
more important than the truth.
