      I bought it a few years ago, just watched it the other day

      Found "Surviving Picasso" while looking through old discs. . . Anthony Hopkins seems to be more than calm and passionate enough. Only in front of master Matisse will the "madness" be restrained. . . I accidentally took out a book and read it, which happened to be "Apollinaire on Art", and there happened to be two of them. It should be the preconceived idea of ​​"Modigliani" in the early years. . . I always feel that the Picasso inside is more evil and more public. . . "Surviving Picasso" is...

      The Story of a Great Artist and Several Women

      In different periods of world film history, there are many classic films describing the life experiences of great artists, such as "An Unforgettable Song", "Mozart", "Copying Beethoven" and so on, which are familiar to Chinese audiences. The more time goes by, the more film directors tend to express the common character of these great artists. They can be short-tempered, petite, frivolous, frivolous, and self-righteous.

      Therefore, Chopin portrayed in "An Unforgettable Song"...

      how to be a new woman

      "Love Picasso," starring my favorite Antony Hopkins. I've been wanting to see this movie since high school, and it wasn't until yesterday that I fulfilled my long-cherished dream.
      All other questions aside, I'm going to talk about the film's theme. As a great artist of Scorpio, Picasso is wild and uninhibited, charming, and it is normal to attract countless women. As in the film, when Francis leaves him for the last time, he bursts into tears and ends up walking down the stairs and...

      Faceted Hopkins

      When it comes to Anthony Hopkins, I am afraid that the first thing that many people think of is Hannibal in "Silence of the Lambs", knowing that he was once in "Love Picasso" (although DB called it "Crazy Love", but I I think this translation is easier to understand) I am afraid that there are not many people who have played Picasso.
          This film tells the story of the Cubist painting master Picasso who met the female painter Francis when he was 62 years old, and started a story of...

      genius born in paris

          It must not be about Paris. That pink flower is not something I can describe with my clumsy pen. Besides, I don’t know anything about fashion. How can I live clearly for fashion, perfume, and bags from Paris.
          Forget it, let's say the movie is a little better.

          In fact, it is to continue the topic of British treasures. I also found Sir Anthony Hopkins' film "Surviving Picasso" (1996) and Emma Thompson's "Spring Sonata" (Impromptu, 1991). Picasso, an amorous and weird...

      James Ivory hardly ever shoots original stories, he always adapts a novel. The film is based on the novel Picasso: Creator and Destroyer by American author Arianna Huffington. The story only selects the ten years of Picasso's encounter and entanglement with Françoise, 21, at the age of 61. The director chose another name "Surving Picasso", in fact, I don't know how to translate it into Chinese more accurately. The heroine says that without her, I become a new me, but I'm also full of gratitude...

      Where is the talent of Picasso displayed? Obviously, there are only one paragraph of feelings with different women... It reflects the selfish, willful and uneducated side of great artists who rely on women for inspiration. It's good, and it doesn't require a great artist's character to be flawless. Francis's words at the end are also quite clear, that is, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to...

The two then develop a ten-year and unforgettable love. In...
