In order to accurately portray the characters, director Ed Harris searched and read all the literature about Pollock that could be found, went to galleries and museums to observe Pollock’s works, and changed his smoking habits, only smoking Pollock’s past hobbies without filters. "Camel" brand cigarettes. He also made a special trip to pay a visit to the painter's former residence, and lay on the bed where Pollock once lay to experience the painter's chaotic thoughts. In order to truly show the image of Pollock before his death, Harris also deliberately gained weight. And most importantly, in order to reproduce the true face of a talented painter on the screen, Harris spent about ten years learning Pollock's painting techniques from 1991. In the film, he personally fully demonstrated Pollock’s strong personal style of dripping action painting. This kind of ritual painting method is full of hypnotic religiousness, and the visual style is frantic and energetic. Harris shot these images from an unusual angle and made them full of exciting effects through quick editing

Art comes from unconscious personal understanding. Surrealism comes from rebelling against traditional rational constructions. Focus on the overall impression of the senses. Lines and blurs are used to express the frame of the original rational construction. It is an abstraction of expression in the pan-table sense. It is the improvement and innovation of expression. is another form of rational creation. But all works are passive, objective and conscious, and surrealism may just subjectively think that it is unconscious. This unconsciousness refers more to the unconsciousness of creation and the creative process. To understand Surrealism as a whole, in itself, apart from the individual artist, is to return to the state in which the art of universal creation is conscious. . .

Lee Krasner: You're not just randomly putting paint on the canvas, you're painting *something*. You can't abstract from nothing, you can only abstract from life, from nature.
Jackson Pollock: I *am* nature.
