Empty with form, no content

I left after watching it for half an hour, and logically I am not qualified to write a movie review to make a lot of nonsense. But with all due respect, this is a crappy film with no form and no content, treating the arty middle class as idiots.
There are many articles or documentaries on the so-called "discussion of art". The whole article does not talk about the artist's artistic techniques and the feelings in the works, but only talks about their life experiences over and over again, in order to render the artists into a species different from ordinary people. , is an existence that can only be looked up to and never understood. Among them, especially the typical example of Van Gogh.
The same is true for this movie. The main line of the story is that after Van Gogh committed suicide, people find a letter he sent to his brother. The sheriff in the town entrusts the protagonist to deliver the letter to Van Gogh's family, so the protagonist embarks on a journey. During the period, I met various people who knew Van Gogh, and pieced together the image of Van Gogh bit by bit in the dialogue.
The first half an hour gave me the impression that it was depressed and weird. The background music gave me a bad, shoddy feel from the start.
In particular, I want to talk about the "co-creation of more than 100 artists" that was featured in the promotion of this film. Yes, the film has a very strong Van Gogh-style oil painting style familiar to the audience. It can be seen that among them Most of them are shot in real life and then rendered into oil painting style. Some people also paint various backgrounds and traces of processing for their creations. This idea is good, but the overall effect is very poor.
I originally came with the mentality of preparing to be shocked by Van Gogh's rich colors and strong emotions, but what I saw was Dong Shi's frown. During the post-rendering of live-action shooting, the defect of losing the focus of the overall picture is very obvious. For example, when the characters are talking, the facial features will inevitably be blurred because of the movement of the head, which makes it difficult to see the eyes of the characters clearly. How can we convey feelings? It's not even as good as an ordinary film. As for the post-processing of the so-called 100 artists, I seriously doubt that these artists are only at the level of students from third-rate art academies, and they have absolutely no eye-catching features. What does this sense of sight look like? Just like in every corner of the country, the "Crash Art Class" for the middle class to "cultivate temperament", the students follow the teacher to draw step by step, they can draw similar things, and then they feel like they understand to the essence of painting. The combination of this soulless thing and the soulful Van Gogh gives people an inexplicable sense of irony
I guess, there will probably be many audiences who admire the name of Van Gogh, and the viewing experience is very uncomfortable

    The style of painting is amazing, and on the surface of the characters, Van Gogh, as the biggest attraction, has completely taken a back seat. More importantly, what about his work? ? ? ? ? ? ? I can't stand stupid human beings who always try to use reason to explain genius behavior, negative points for this story...

    It's so beautiful. It’s amazing to be able to see the process of the painters’ brushstrokes flowing from frame to frame, and maybe a little distracting. The story itself is a kind of detective revealing. If you want to look at Van Gogh's more detailed description, Piara and Ultraman's versions are better; this animation naturally has its unique beauty, which can be used in every scene. It's amazing to find those people who seem to have met before. Ronan's face is as recognizable as his voice!

Loving Vincent quotes

  • Pere Tanguy: Two hearts, one mind that's what Vincent told me. Maybe that was the case after all because after Vincent died, Theo went into sharp decline.

  • Pere Tanguy: Theo thought his unhappiness went right back to childhood. He tried so hard to fit into his family. But, he never succeeded in this.
