The life of a genius is a life of misery. Character determines destiny. Van Gogh is passionate and persistent, and he is so passionate about his beliefs and career that he releases huge energy. Seeing him and Gauguin for a period of time feels very sad. If Gauguin's character It's not so conflicted, maybe the result will be better, but it can't be assumed that this kind of thing is really hard to control the loneliness of living outside the crowd. I saw it in the end of the celebration when I saw it.

After reading the original book, two hours are too short, so it is very running. The gloomy, lonely and somewhat neurotic Van Gogh is not in the movie at all.

Durand-Ruel: [outaide the Exhibit of Impressionist Paintings] I am sick and tired of these cheap jokes! Art is a serious business. And in Paris at least, an artist with a new idea should be inside...
Elderly Gentleman: [interrupts] For once I agree with you Durand-Ruel. Impressionism is not a joke: it's a *cancer*, and it must be cut out. Condone anarchism in the arts and you seal the doom of France!
Durand-Ruel: What whould you do? Pad up the galleries and ship the painters off to Devil's Island?
Elderly Gentleman: These men are shameless! They load pistols with tubes of paint and fire them at the canvas, and then have the audacity to sign their names; Cézanne, Signac, Pissaro, Gauguin, Renoir, Monet...

Camille Pissarro: It's the problem of translating light into the language of paint.
[points up]
Camille Pissarro: Those leaves there: if they were the only thing in sight, they'd have one color - their own. But the shade and reflection of everything around - the sky, the earth, the water - give them more than their own color. That's why when you paint from nature, don't fix your eye on any one spot.
[looks and motions all around]
Camille Pissarro: Take in everything at once. And above all, don't be timid. Trust your first impression.
