not necessarily sarcasm

Off-topic: The most famous satire about a painting critic was designed by the British media a few years ago: a worker was invited to scribble on paper, and then the scribble (painting) was shown to a group of uninformed critics. Surprisingly, it won a very high rating. After the report came out, it embarrassed those critics.

The film doesn't seem like a satire. The scribbles of the undercover policeman back to basics (children's paintbrushes), the triangles that the professor has spent decades drawing, the simple sketches, everything seems to convey some kind of postmodern philosophy. It's just that I don't know much about painting, so I can't classify it, but the main works of the film revolve around this theme, which makes it hard to believe that it is ironic. The murderer involved is clearly suspected of being anti-social. I went to Baomo Garden a few years ago and saw several very impressive Chinese paintings, the Lingnan School of Painting. Then I thought of Zhu Da, or Qi Baishi's shrimp or Xu Beihong's horse. The post-modern school of painting, the national treasure-level poet a while back, is puzzling from time to time. I won't go into details.

Oral sex offered by a murderer refers to the formation of a certain social relationship. Among this group of so-called painters and students, the famous ones are not necessarily of high level. In this society where talent is not important (most of the people in the film are about the same level), fame depends on relationships. Therefore, guanxi, may be the potential subject of this film.

The protagonist is a guy who wants to be famous and crazy, so he is also looking for a relationship. His so-called ideal, his strength given in the film, is really unreliable. In addition, there is really no research on painting, so I can only understand it this way. Unfortunately, he's nothing special and can't get there first. But I still can't forget it, so I went to ask the murderer for advice, and went to ask the teacher for advice. Nothing but the law. Later, with the help of several works of anti-social painters, the protagonist is involved in a criminal case without his knowledge. That's the real selling point. The media with a keen sense of smell seized this selling point and hyped it desperately. As a result, a so-called genius painter was born out of nowhere, somewhat like an "American Song Zude". Among his works, the few anti-social works he brought here are listed. After that, "one person soars, immortals and chickens and dogs".

Of course, the film still has a happy ending:
The protagonist became famous through hype, and the studio became a prison. Then win love, this love is really inexplicable - from beginning to end, the protagonist is unrequited love, and later the heroine falls in love with a murder suspect because of that sketch, which is more impulsive than falling in love with the undercover agent. Chaotic love". Murderers should be punished for their crimes, so they were burned to death by the protagonist's unsustainable cigarette butts - it's not certain whether the cigarette butts were burned to death, the drunk murderer was also burned to death, but the others were also burned to death. Yes, it's too exaggerated.

That's all, it's ironic, that's irony!

    A lot of awesome tricks. The play is average, the expression is not in place. Many jokes are not funny

Art School Confidential quotes

  • Marvin Bushmiller: Shut up. Look. There's really only one question any of you want to ask: you want to know what it would take to turn you into me. Well, listen closely, 'cause I'm gonna give you the answer. In order to be a great artist, you simply have to *be* a great artist. There's nothing to learn. So... you're all wasting your time. Go home.

  • Jerome: You were right about art. It's all about the cock-sucking.

    Jimmy: It's not what you do, but who you blow.
