How about washing it up

There is a purely painted version of the dazzling vision before, and this version shows the big star. The two versions have a common feature, that is, the Van Gogh myth is completely washed away. The directors of the two films are not only the problem of private goods, they are simply clear. It is to be deified and thoroughly cleansed, huh? It's not good, history is a little girl who can be dressed up, let alone a painter.

I came from a pure oil painting background, but my view of Van Gogh is still different from that of the mainstream. This is even more of a kneeling and assistance to the mainstream judgment. In fact, it is not objective. After Van Gogh contracted syphilis, there was no penicillin at that time, syphilis caused encephalitis, so people always have hallucinations and emotions. Van Gogh was not a representative of poor painters and martyrs, at least he himself didn't want to live like this, it was simply impossible. These disasters really made him, and deified all of them, which is certainly a distortion for Van Gogh.

But why do you want to score high again? Because it's better to shoot than not, and it's better than not to shoot. At least it has spread the history of art, this kind of marginal culture still needs to be promoted and disseminated urgently. It's better to do a little bit instead of letting the public know nothing. After the National Art Museum of China opened for free, the first time rushed in were the aunts who wanted to wash vegetables with free tap water. So there is still value and meaning. Distortion is also stronger than nothing. It deserves encouragement.

    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 incomplete.

    I really like this film in my heart. The photography and pictures are great. William Dafoe's performance is worth watching. It is a pity that he is a bit too old. Van Gogh, who is in his 30s, should be more energetic. The film does not deliberately tell the story, but puts more emphasis on impressions, feelings, and psychology, and has a strong subjective meaning. By the way, I found that the Van Gogh sketchbook that was only discovered in 2016 still seems to be controversial, and the Van Gogh Museum called it a fake.

At Eternity's Gate quotes

  • Doctor Felix Ray: You're confusing people. You're confusing yourself with your paintings.

    Vincent Van Gogh: I am my paintings.

  • Vincent Van Gogh: I'd like to share my vision with people who can't see what I see the way I see.

    Doctor Felix Ray: Yes, but why?

    Vincent Van Gogh: Because my vision is closer to the reality of the world. I can make people feel what it's like to be alive.

    Doctor Felix Ray: Do you feel like they don't feel alive?

    Vincent Van Gogh: Yes, I do.

    Doctor Felix Ray: And you think you can make them feel that through painting?

    Vincent Van Gogh: Yes. Yes, absolutely.
