      Lust for Life: Please Don't Sympathize with Him Easily

      In the evening, I thought there would be a color lecture, but it turned out that we were shown some paintings by Impressionist masters such as Van Gogh, Seurat, and Pissarro. Then they began to show Van Gogh's biography, adapted from the desire to live. This has to remind me of the birthday present Li Xiaoyi gave me on my 19th birthday at the beginning of the year. In the original novel "Longing for Life", Later, she also ordered a copy for herself on Dangdang. But God knows I didn't...

      i see van gogh

      I was so calm in my heart that I watched such a movie without turning back, for no other reason, and at this moment, I felt the air around me freeze, the noisy sounds around me, I could not hear, and the sun was dimmed for it Now, Van Gogh, what exactly is the inner distress, I can't see it, but I can't touch it, but I can't comprehend it. I seem to want to go into his inner world again. There is a sentence to sum up his spiritual life, but I can find that it is fundamental. Impossible, this...

      The Life and Talents of Vincent van Gogh

      After I was a kid, I spent a book on Van Gogh
      because Van Gogh is so famous, why is he so famous? Painting is really good, and the circumstances before and after death are so different. In his short life of 37 years, he picked up a brush to paint at the age of 26. In fact, until she died, he only painted for 11 years. In 2008, he painted a large number of works, but only sold one piece, "The Red Vineyard", for 400 francs.

      What kind of personality was Van Gogh? Paranoid, stubborn,...

      Giant Van Gogh

      I have read about Van when I was still in my college. I could not recall it complicatedly but I remember that Van was a person with great passionate feeling to love and painting. As I grew up I became more and more easier to be moved by movies and stories especially the real thing about great artist. To my some degree analysis, Van was deeply hurt by the marriage of his first lover M and his brother D. It was the time that Van was in the south area of ​​France in which it was full of sunshine...

      The painter's version of Ben-Hur

      Acting Van Gogh is like painting on canvas, some are upright, some are sincere, some are crazy, some are clumsy. Some are energetic and love to quarrel with people. Douglas' version is unmistakably sincere and missionary.

      But still like a painter's version of Ben-Hur. Like all early Hollywood movies, it's like a bottle of Mirinda, sweet and delicate with little aftertaste. It is also a brave expression of Van Gogh's life as a missionary in the Belgian mining area of ​​Bolina, as well...

      2 hours is really not enough to talk about life. I read this biography many years ago, and it does seem a bit rushed to watch this movie again. After all, it's a 1956 film, and it's still a bit exaggerated and has some stage effects, especially the marriage proposal scene and the rivalry with Gauguin, but overall it's not bad. This biopic is quite the main theme, and you can basically understand Vatican high life....

    Movie quotes

    • Theo Van Gogh: Vincent, what are we going to do about you? Father wrote and ask me to come find you. For months he's not heard from you.

      Vincent Van Gogh: There's nothing to tell.

      Theo Van Gogh: What right have you to decide that? You cut yourself off from everybody, even from me.

    • Christine: Vincent, I won't be there when you get back.

      Vincent Van Gogh: Don't say that...

      Christine: I didn't want to tell you, but I've been feeling restless, and besides, my mother's right. You don't earn enough for me and the baby.

      Vincent Van Gogh: This is no time to...

      Christine: You'll forget about us once you get home. It won't be hard.

      Vincent Van Gogh: Where will you go? How will you live?

      Christine: It'll be the old life, I suppose. Vincent, it's not your fault. You've been good. Nobody's ever been so good to me. And the baby, just as if he were your own.

    • Vincent Van Gogh: Would you be able to sell this?

      Theo Van Gogh: I'll try. It's hard to sell any of the new painters, even those with some sort of name. You know how Goupil's begrudges me the little space I can get for them.

      Vincent Van Gogh: Then why don't you leave Goupil's, set up for yourself? Why waste time with idiots like that?

      Theo Van Gogh: Vincent, don't tell me how to run my life!
