"Girl.with.a.Pearl.Earring" because of Scarlett Johansson.

The movie didn't move me, neither did Vermeer, it was Griet who moved me!
From Vermeer you won't find great pain or resistance, because he is not the movie "Van Gogh", nor the movie "Mozart", he just can draw in the movie "Girl.with.a.Pearl.Earring" The hero of , keep silent! dull!
And she, it was her, or it was Griet, maybe it was Scarlett! Smart, forbearance, melancholy, delicate, stubborn, blurred, sexy...

Griet: Should I clean the window?
Catharina: You don't need to ask me about such matters!
Griet: It's just... It may change the light.

This The dialogue moved me for a long time! And the details of how Griet manages the room, and the fact that she always touches the white tile painted by her father's hand for a couple's playfulness before going to bed, and her exploration of light in the studio by herself, she is an angel, an art embryo!
Vermeer planned a lot in silence, and finally said one sentence: I'm to paint you alone.
Griet was choked with tears and shortness of breath...



Dalí sighed after three hundred years: painting Gala, I am close to the sublime!
(Gala, Dalí's lover! Wife! Goddess! She was the lover of the poet Éluya. Later, when the "beach incident" happened, Éluya gave in and said, "You are more suitable", which was a good talk for a while!)

Griet is gone, Vermeer is dead, the painting is sold, only the pearl earrings are shining, the tingling of the painter's fingers, the tears of lust and the pain of isolation...



If I were the original author of the novel Tracy Chevalier , I will write this dialogue at the beginning of the book:
X: It may change the light!
Y: Who is it?
X: ... (Love)



PS: Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), domestically translated as "Vermeer" or "Vermeer", a representative figure of the Dutch school of painting, his works mostly show the ordinary daily life of the citizens. The lighting is exquisite, concise, and poetic. " and so on for its representative works.

PPS: See the truth more thrilling than the reality? If not, never marry a painter! Otherwise you may repeat the dialogue between the painter and his wife in the movie:

Catharina: Why don't paint me?
Vermeer: ​​Because you don't understand!

    Not just a quaint movie about art, but a focus on themes like money, sex, repression, obsession, power, and the human heart. Laura M. Sager Eidt asserts in her book "The Writing and Shooting of Painting: Ekphrasis in Literature and Film" that the film differs significantly from the source material and emphasizes "the more subtle sociopolitical aspects of the novel. Dimension", which shifts the focus from a young girl's developing consciousness to class and power relations in the story, the camera is fixed on Grief for most of the film, but no effort is made to actually present her point of view as a film or audience's point of view. Vermeer channeled Greer's sexual arousal into his paintings, her ear piercings and his instructions to her posing and pursing her lips, with overt metaphors for ripping off and nurturing. Perhaps what Vermeer captured was not the beauty of a woman, the sacred glory of a laborer, or the visual effect of a red face with a blue turban, but the sexual tension in the transition of a young girl to a mature woman. The mysterious effect on the facial features.
