Teachings through time and space

Hangzhou, completed the transition from summer to autumn in one night.
The temperature suddenly became much cooler. The rustling autumn wind, the dry air, and the West Lake under the bright sunshine. People like to use autumn to describe this season the most, and the sky is indeed so blue.
One person, one movie, back to that time.
I was touched when julia roberts led them to conflict and bondage, to freedom and become exiles.
I think, there really is such a person who can guide you in the dark, give you hope, and give you the right life.
This is the only work I like after she never compromises. The depth of the film was slowly discovered when people stopped focusing on her charming mouth.
I think in the film, JR is not only interpreting Katherine Watson, but also interpreting life with his own understanding.

Mona Lisa Smile quotes

  • [about Vincent van Gogh]

    Katherine Watson: He painted what he felt, not what he saw. People didn't understand, to them it seemed childlike and crude. It took years for them to recognize his actual technique. To see the way his brush strokes seemed to make the night sky move. Yet, he never sold a painting in his lifetime. This is his self-portrait. There's no camouflage, no romance. Honesty. Now, sixty years later, where is he?

    Giselle Levy: Famous.

    Katherine Watson: So famous, in fact, that everybody has a reproduction. There are post cards...

    Connie Baker: We have the calendar.

    Katherine Watson: you go. With the ability to reproduce art, it is available to the masses. No one needs to own a van Gogh original, they can paint their own. Van Gogh in a box, ladies! The newest form of mass-distributed art; paint by numbers.

    Connie Baker: [reading from the box] "Now everyone can be van Gogh. It's so easy. Just follow the simple instructions and in minutes, you're on your way to being an artist."

    Giselle Levy: Van Gogh by numbers?

    Katherine Watson: Ironic, isn't it? Look at what we have done to the man who refused to conform his ideals to popular taste. Who refused to compromise his integrity. We have put him in a tiny box and asked you to copy him.

  • Betty Warren: You don't believe in withholding, do you?

    Katherine Watson: No. I do, however, believe in good manners. But for you, I'll make an exception.
