Salma Hayek turns on 59! 7 movies from comedy to horror
"Without Blood"
- 2025
- Italy, USA
- Drama
- Director: Angelina Jolie
- Starring: Salma Hayek, Demián Bichir, Juan Minujín, Jorge Antonio Guerrero
- IMDb Rating: 7.3
The story of Nina (Salma Hayek), who as a child becomes the sole survivor after hiding under a floorboard during the brutal murder of her father and brother. Tito (Demián Bichir) was one of the killers and years later lives elsewhere. An unexpected encounter with Nina triggers a dialog about war, guilt, revenge — and the need to overcome trauma with the heart.
Salma Hayek long refused to play the role of Nina — so emotionally heavy and painful that the actress was afraid to relive the heroine's traumatic experience. Angelina Jolie convinced her to take the role after many deep conversations, emphasizing the importance of the story and its value to both women.

Salma proposed to add to the movie real paintings of Frida Kahlo, which specially for filming moved from private collections. This was an unprecedented case, as the artist's works rarely left museums.
"That's the willpower, to get out of such an accident and start walking again - it's worthy of respect. Salma Hayek is magically amazing in this role", — devochka_prikol

"Absolutely love this movie. The cast is wonderful. Young Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, their wonderful acting tandem. Saw Jay and Silent Bob for the first time here, cool dudes.

- IMDb Rating: 7.2
The Gecko brothers commit a series of robberies and take a priest's family hostage to get to Mexico. Their journey leads them to a bar called Titty Twister, which turns out to be a den of vampires. The night turns into a bloody nightmare, where only those who are ready to fight until dawn can survive.
Robert Rodriguez personally shot most of the scenes with bloody effects, using a minimum of computer graphics, and Quentin Tarantino insisted that it was he who licked the leg of the heroine of Salma.
"Super movie. It starts out like a regular action movie, sharp and tense, and gradually turns into such a creepy thrash. When I watched it for the first time, it was even scary, especially from the finale. But the plot is bombastic, the soundtrack is still in the playlist (especially After dark), the characters are super, the cast did 5+, dialogs are written perfectly. In general, you can't pick on anything. A classic, it is a classic", — katrinus
"Oh, that python dance..." — bison23
"Tarantino wrote the script for this movie to fleetingly show once again how much he likes women's legs. Did you have Salma Hayek's foot in your mouth? No? He has. And I don't even judge him for it... (let's be happy for Maestro that he made his fantasies come true)", — tk_petr

"Great action movie. Young Banderas, sexy Salma. And a great soundtrack. a very worthy movie", — katrinus
"A good neo-western, a classic. Just saw that there was another part one "musician" before this one, didn't watch it, gotta check it out. Even Tarantino showed up for 5 minutes)", — vseslav

I didn't watch the rest, but the actress is really top-notch and well-known to everyone.
P.S. Keanu Reeves still has a doctor today - 61 years old))🥳
I advise you to watch her film as directed by Miracle Maldonado. https://myshows.me/movie/344746/
PS I would also like to add that in Mexico, some consider her to be the earthly incarnation of the Aztec goddess Itzpapalotl, the goddess of war, death and paradise.
The legendary aunt, of course, from the clip of Lopez, Monica, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore and Meryl Streep. After them, there were no more such people, and they will be hidden.
As for the youth, it's more difficult for them because the industry is growing very fast and replenished with new faces, but the likes of Zendaya, Jenna Ortega, Jennifer Lawrence, Dakota Johnson, Kristen Stewart, Sidney Sweeney will definitely shine enough to be an era for someone in 10-20 years.
