      Mr Turner: Genius or Monster

      "Soon, painters will be carrying a box around the world, like a tinkerer, instead of a drawing board under their arms."

      This is a sentence that the protagonist John Turner said to the photographer in the photo studio, and it is also one of the two most deafening words he said in "Mr. Turner". This sentence really accurately predicts the situation in the future. Look at today, not only...

      Multi-image recording

      This biographical film is very "lifelike", recording the ordinary real life of the artist, without deification or exaggeration. In this sense, it is very close to the meaning of "biography"; however, it is different from the long-term overview of general biography. , the film records only the last 20 years of Turner's life, from the 1820s to 1851.

      At deathbed, he shouted: The Sun is God - a legend in painting, one of the starting points of Impressionism.

      The movie is a period of...

      blizzard believer

      The last twenty-five years of Mr. Turner's life are presented in fragments, leaving more room for interpretation to the audience. As a famous eccentric in the British painting industry, any interpretation will actually have a certain one-sidedness.

      Before dying, Turner still dragged the sick body to the beach to copy the female corpse. When his father passed away, he didn't know how to relieve his grief. He let the prostitute lie on the bed, pretending to be sick, and copying it, which...

      Mike Lee's Light and Shadow

      "A Century of Painting: Mr. Turner" (Mr. Turner - 2014)

      Most of McLee's works that I often read in the past are mostly concerned with the plight of life at the bottom of modern British society, with very distinct role-building, life-filled performances and detailed descriptions , the open narrative still has quite obvious stories and propositions. The theme of this new work "Mr. Turner" is the life of the 19th century British painter William Turner in his later years. The distance and...

      "Mr. Turner" ("Mr. Turner") is a biographical film released in 2014, which records the story of the last twenty-five years of the famous British painter Turner. The total length of the film is two and a half hours, and it is precisely because It's slow-moving, detail-oriented character makes a difference for what we know so little about Mr. Turner.
      Mr. Turner was one of the leaders of European painting circles in the early 19th century. He was very good at painting the sea, boats and...

      I happened to read a few books. The script describes the relationship between the nobles and the painter, the rich and poor of the painter, and the description is in...

      Forgive me for being too low on aesthetics. Watching the fat, ugly and wretched Turner dangling on the screen for nearly three hours, no matter how great and beautiful the paintings are, they can't help but reveal the worldly smell of shit, urine, and fart, as well as the arty sour smell of the British upper class....

      While showing the painter's obsessive personality, it also describes his passion and dedication to art. It not only restores Turner's paintings realistically, but also presents his inner world with extremely delicate and rich colors. With respect for him, the director has done research on many of his sketches, and the effect is real. And Timothy Spall, our Mr. Wormtail, is well-deserved for his unruly, eccentric charm of the...

      I want to remember: the existence of Dorothy Atkinson's housekeeper, his communication with his peers and greetings, and watching the abysmal Haydon quarrel with the art exhibition hanging painting decision-maker with a slightly hurt expression, watching the stage play satirical painting buyer Jin Yuan's dirty, dryly reading the manuscript Classes, weeping at prostitutes, widow Booth cleaning the windows, painters gathering at buyers' homes to comment, Henry Purcell's moving music. Nice to see....

    Evaluation action

    One of the most moving episodes is his final, prosaic love life with a widow. There are also some humorous scenes in the film, such as Queen Victoria and ordinary people commenting on his paintings. The film is not only a series of sketches for a painter, but also a huge mural reflecting his era. There are no beautiful women in the film, no highs and lows, and the dramatic audience will find it dull. But with Mike Lee's meticulous...

    • J.M.W. Turner: Mr. Ruskin, can I pose you a somewhat "conundruous" question?

      John Ruskin: Please do, Mr. Turner.

      J.M.W. Turner: To which do you find yourself the more partial: a steak and kidney pie or veal and ham pie?
