    But these flowers will wither and fade. All flowers do. I know, everybody knows that. But mine will resist. Are you sure? At least they will have a chance. Painted reality is its own reality. The impressionists, they are out of it. “So you believe that God gave you this gift because He wants to keep you in misery?” “I never thought about that that...

    "What do you paint?" The "Sunlight" film is very fluid and jumpy, with a lot of pleasing filter processing in the photography, the lens movement is free and loose, and it complements the soundtrack. The cast can be described as luxurious, and it is rare that so many famous actors appear in such a film with such a strong literary and artistic color. The gold medal Green Leaf Dafoe became the protagonist, and I always felt that this was the Van Gogh I imagined, thinking and full of fanaticism,...

    The director's intention is very clear. He tries to use the transformation of the lens to show the world in Van Gogh's eyes and him in the eyes of the world, so as to convey Van Gogh's loneliness to the audience. The director is obsessed with creating such an artistic conception, and is obsessed with placing the independent Van Gogh in the nature with infinite secrets, which leads to the separation of the plot and emotions of the film. I dare not say whether this is the worst Van Gogh...

    About Van Gogh's life, the public is probably familiar with it, and the story is still full of pain and depression as we all know. Dafoe's performance is okay. There are good times and bad in terms of photography, some scenes restore the real scenes of Van Gogh's paintings, and some close-ups of the heads of the characters are...

    A portrait of the painter [From Li Zongheng Film Critic]

    I have been looking forward to it for a long time and finally watched it.

    Julian Schnabel has filmed a painter-themed film with the same identity as his own since his debut in the film, the work that commemorates Basquiat. Coupled with the famous "Diving Bell and Butterflies" and "When the Night...

    Precipitating in loneliness

    Van Gogh painting in the woods in the film

    When I learned Van Gogh's paintings in art classes in primary and junior high schools in China, it didn't have much influence. However, the bright yellow sunflower was unforgettable until I saw it again in the cinema. The strange thing was that there was no...

At Eternity's Gate quotes

  • [first lines]

    Vincent Van Gogh: I just want to be one of them. I would like to sit down with them and have a drink and talk about anything. I'd like them to give me some tobacco, a glass of wine, or even just ask me, "How are you today?" And I would answer, and we would talk. And from time to time I'd make a sketch of one of them as a gift. They would accept it, maybe, and keep it somewhere, and a woman would smile at me and ask, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? A piece of ham, some cheese, or maybe a fruit?"

  • Priest: Tell me frankly, because I'd like to understand. Why do you say you are a painter?

    Vincent Van Gogh: Because I paint. I love painting. I have to paint. Always been a painter, that I know of.
