ideal and reality

If you are a young person who is committed to contemporary art, I suggest you watch this film. If you are appreciating a celebrity biopic or want to understand a positive state of contemporary art through this, to inspire your own artistic creation If you come to watch the movie for this purpose, you may be disappointed. When I first saw this film, I didn't think it was very good. It didn't have Pollock's star journey as described in "Pollock", nor the gorgeous visual effects or cuts of "Mozart", but when I watched the film, the female The protagonist, Edie, went from a vigorous and well-educated art seeker to a well-known artist who lost his mind and lost what he was after. It resonated with me. Of course, There is also Edie's own problem. She cares too much about what people around her think of her. In order to show that she is friends with the perverts in the factory, she does not hesitate to inject heroin. However, it backfires. This is serious.
I think the things discussed in this film are actually quite multi-dimensional, and we can think about the art circle from multiple perspectives. Looking at Warhol in the film, I can't help but think of the artistic image "Zhuang Zhidie" created by Jia Pingwa in "Abandoned City". Aside from the status given to Warhol in the circle, in the film he and Zhuang Zhi Butterfly is like a celebrity in media culture. He appears as an artist and is exposed to the spotlight, but we can't see him doing a work or exploring something seriously. Is this just part of the contemporary art problem? On the other hand, Edie, who graduated from the art academy, dreamed of entering the American art circle, and it was understandable to find a well-known artist as a leverage point to realize his artistic ideal. However, due to various reasons, Edie gave up his original skills The ability to follow Warhol to photograph some so-called "works" like a clown. In the end, the good paintings that she originally painted were not painted. Under the erosion of drugs, her reputation was ruined, and the "art" she longed for failed to become her "art" , and changed everything about her...
Although the film narrates the art circle in the 1960s, in fact, looking at it after half a century, it corresponds to the current art circle, and the practical significance of the film is self-evident.
Young artists, after thinking about it, rush to the circle!
