García Lorca was friends with both Creator/SalvadorDali and [[Creator/LuisBunuel Luis Buñuel]]. However, the relationship between them eroded after Dalí rejected his advances and eventually ended with the release of ''Film/UnChienAndalou'', that García Lorca took as a personal attack (he was an Andalusian).

Lorca could be accurately defined as a true free soul. He had a deep social conscience, although he always declined to confine himself within political terms, claiming to be at the same time "Catholic, communist, anarchist, liberal, traditionalist and monarchist". He was a friend of both Falangists and socialists, which naturally only brought him trouble.

His plays always dealt with death, unrequited or impossible love and full of angst, themes that resounded quite well in his own life; a tormented man that never seemed to found true happiness and could only exorcise his own demons through writing.
