The unspoken connection in the spirit is far more elusive than the communication in the body.

I saw the love of art in Griet's eyes and the surging emotions of Vermeer. She said to the sky that the clouds were yellow, blue and grey, and then her face was suddenly bright. She moved the chair carefully, admiring her masterpiece, and Vermeer understood her intention, how tacit understanding she and Vermeer were. The unspoken connection in the spirit is far more elusive than the communication in the body.

The soundtrack of the entire album is full of mystery and agility.

In Griet's theme music, the melody in 6/8 time is beautiful and full of minor sadness. The clarinet was used for the initial introduction. The fusion of the instrument's tone and melody perfectly matches Griet, a girl with clean eyes and no impurities. She looks like a picture White paper, untouchable. The cello and clarinet are introduced again, the strings perform a second melody, and then slowly push to a small climax. The final violin, as the main vocal part, also came softly and slowly.

The theme melody is not a linear to the end, the orchestration structure is full rather than neatly arranged, the embellishment of the vibrato string technique makes the whole song full of agility, the sound phase is opened to make the music change more fluid, the overall The acoustic feel is warm, soft, and the celesta accents make the music jump. Their composition causes emotions to be pushed step by step, ups and downs.

After listening to Alexandre Desplat's score for the film, it was brought back into the film. The music is integrated with the plot, the color of the picture, and the characters, and complement each other. When I saw the painting in the last scene, I couldn't be distracted for a long time. The girl in the painting, the light and shadow on the pearl earrings and the eyes, the vivid face image, the smile with a slightly open mouth, the eyes that seemed to be suspicious, I looked at her, this girl, What did she see in her eyes at that time, what kind of face she was looking at, what kind of emotion did she have, and she couldn't be distracted for a long time...

    The picture is so beautiful. . . Each frame is an oil painting. The atmosphere is suffocating. The best thing about novels and movies is that everyone’s personality allows them to choose their own behavior and destiny. After reading it, I checked Vermeer, the painter's information. 'In the age of luxury, he insists on simplicity and life style' to capture soft light. I think the director really understood the painter. Although the picture is rich in beauty, the plot is very restrained. Emotions are all in the blank space of the plot. Many things are not explained, but they are all in. A great movie,.

  • Vermeer: [Describing his newly arrived Camera Obscura] See this? This is called a lens. Beams of reflected light from that corner pass through it, into the box, so that we can see it here.

    Griet: Is it real?

    Vermeer: It's an image. A picture made of light.

    Griet: Does the box show you what to paint?

    Vermeer: It helps.

  • Maria Thins: A connoisseur in everything, Master Van Ruijven. But, you should be faithful to one mistress above all others: Art!
