I am by no means a true fan of Van Gogh. I can only
name two or three of his most famous works.
I am by no means a true literary youth who loves art.
Huadi listened to the explanation to understand it. In case,
after countless "wow" sighs, I immediately forgot all about it.
I know that if I send a circle of friends related to "art", it will
force me to improve N grades immediately,
but watching "Moon" I didn't find the feeling in the first half of "With 6p" at all,
until the end I felt the shock later,
(Is it really not enough to expose the vanity, superficiality and
artistic cells that belong to most people?)
Anyway,
these are It didn't become an obstacle between me and Van Gogh.
Just because of a movie, I
suddenly started loving Vicent.
No spoilers, read it with confidence.
———————————————————————————
"Loving Vincent" (Loving Vincent) was released.
Even if I couldn't understand the works and life of the great artist,
I didn't want to miss this intimate contact with a
very cost-effective art exhibition. I
went to the cinema to watch the movie, and
the movie was applauded . After the psychological expectation of not being popular,
and the psychological preparation of pretending to be ungrounded, I
found that the distance between Xiaobai and art
may not be as big as imagined.
1 title is worth
a 95-minute movie,
125 painters,
7 years,
65,000 oil paintings,
just this set of numbers is enough to make people awe-inspiring.
The artist's craftsmanship spirit and
the creator's pioneering realm
are all lacking in expression in front of this film.
If you are in a dark cinema around you,
looking at textured oil paints,
bright and cheerful, or dark and deep,
stretched, curled, interlaced, and overlapped in front of your eyes,
forming names,
halos, and
expressions . different characters. It's entirely possible that you've overlooked a second of the plot
by focusing on a single detail,
such as the flushed cheeks,
or the bleak and sad eyes,
or the warm halo against the red wall,
or the green path in the golden wheat field . For the first time, the form of a film has made me uncontrollably ignore its story. The huge shock of the brushstrokes coming to the face is enough to make Xiaobai, who only dares to look up at art, feel that it is worth the ticket price.
2 Stop motion animation This
film is an oil painting stop motion animation,
not a new technology or avant-garde genre.
On the contrary, it is actually very old.
Stop-motion animation,
originated in 1907,
is parallel to hand-drawn animation and
computer animation (CG), which is very common today.
To make a stop-motion animation, the
animator needs to position the model first,
take only one frame at a time,
then change or move the model slightly
before taking the next frame, and
finally put all the shots together and show it together.
It is precisely because of this time-consuming production,
cumbersome process and strict requirements for craftsmanship that stop
-motion animation has its own unique artistry and heaviness.
Narrowly defined stop-motion animation
generally refers to clay puppets and puppets as the subject of photography.
The most recent representative works are the clay sculpture animation
"Chicken Run" (Chicken Run) in 2000.
"Chicken Run" stills
and 2005 ghost director Tim Burton's puppet animation
"Corpse Bride" (Corpse Bride).
Stills of "Zombie Bride" The
generalized stop-motion animation contains more diverse materials and styles.
Don't look at the level of this year's national comics,
but in China from the 1950s to the 1980s,
a large number of amazing people were born in the world. Classic animation,
among them the puppet animation "Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant",
"The Story of Avanti", the paper-cut animation "Gourd Baby", the
ink animation "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mother", "Landscape Love" and so on.
At that time, the Guoman in the stills of "Landscape Love"
was definitely the top level in the world,
hey~ it can only be a sigh here.
In 1999, there was a
20-minute glass oil painting animation short film produced by a Russian director,
"The Old Man and the Sea" (The Old Man and the Sea),
although it was very short, it allowed the world to see the charm of oil painting stop-motion animation.
The stills of "The Old Man and the Sea"
is a long stop-motion animation filmed with oil painting as the object.
"Love Van Gogh" is the first time,
no doubt, it is a great attempt and breakthrough.
The production team of the film,
the artists recruited from abroad, the funds raised by crowdfunding,
copying the paintings after live-action shooting,
then shooting and post-production, etc.,
and after the film is completed,
the oil paintings are used for exhibitions and auctions
. "Love Van Gogh" has long been more than just a movie,
it is a performance art operating in a commercial mode,
or a walking art exhibition.
Therefore, at the cost of a movie ticket , it is worth
seeing a world art exhibition up close
and a commercial activity that has been successfully operated for 7 years . 3 Stories from other people's mouths The movie is about a messenger who, in the process of delivering letters, explores Vincent's death from other people's mouths, and finally restores the story of Vincent's life. Many of Van Gogh's great works are interspersed into the plot of fiction and reality.
The simple plot and linear narrative
may make many people fall asleep, the
beating or even rotating oil brush strokes, and
the less fluent camera language
may make people uncomfortable or dizzy.
For those who have no particular love for Van Gogh or art,
it is not surprising that the film only begins to integrate into the plot more than halfway through.
But as each frame slowly flows in front of you,
when the final shot, accompanied by layers of advancing background music,
slowly and firmly moves up to the starry sky,
whether it is a cold-eyed bystander off-screen,
or a story under the starry sky. Those who have experienced
it will still have an inexplicable shock,
as if they understand,
but also seem to be unsure of what they understand.
How did he die?
There seems to be far more interest in speculation and argument about this death
than in how he lived.
His position in the crowd,
his relationship with the people around him,
his own state of existence,
both materially and spiritually.
Whether it's a great artist who was ahead of his time
being devoured by loneliness,
or a poor, marginalized worm
who was mocked and accidentally killed,
his story, apart from the real presence and palpable presence
in his oil paintings
,
the rest can only be left to the world to guess.
We only know that
some people think he is crazy and paranoid,
some people think he is a parasite relying on his younger brother,
some people think he is a drag on the family,
some people think he is kind, happy and loves to make friends,
some people admire his short-term blooming artistic talent
and prolific art Energy,
some people suspect that he is mentally abnormal,
some people laugh at him and bully him,
some ignore his existence,
but no one can restore a complete him,
let alone understand him all.
4. Everyone's understanding
Maybe everyone has been obsessed with gaining the understanding of others,
parents' understanding of "why not get married and have children", the
boss's understanding of "all efforts are worth repaying", the
subordinate's understanding of "hard work in the middle" The understanding of the grievances to please", the
boyfriend's understanding of "why should P cry for big and small things",
The wife's understanding of "sometimes I want to enjoy a song or a cigarette alone and then go home", the
girlfriend's understanding of "years of friendship but not even the wedding", and the
friend's understanding of "it's too serious or wrong. those words", the
unfamiliar aunt's understanding of "don't stand up and give up your seat when you are young", and the
cinema couple's understanding of "it's really not to pretend to be B when watching a movie alone"
...
But if everyone is allowed to Understand that
you may not only be mediocre,
but miserable, miserable, miserable,
because most people have
no will, no ability, no means,
no time and no obligation to understand you.
There are always a few options None,
or none at all.
Gradually, you sometimes still yearn to be understood,
but you have become accustomed to not being understood.
Sometimes you go through the wormhole to embrace the joy that the whole world can share, and
sometimes you return to your own parallel universe to enjoy yourself.
Sometimes I am looking for a partner on a journey to a distant place,
enjoying the spark of collision and the long or short intersection, and
sometimes wandering on the road of returning to myself,
maintaining a distance from the world that I do not belong to.
It turns out that it never needs to be understood by everyone, and
it turns out that understanding only belongs to
those who actively accept differences and release goodwill.
Tolerance is not about polishing one's own edges and corners,
making the bad money more like a duck to water and expelling all the good money, and
it is not about turning into what you hate,
but putting down the filter, opening your mind,
respecting and supporting everyone,
without hurting others. Be yourself,
of course everyone includes dear self.
PS After watching the movie, I have an urge to
buy an Impressionist oil painting with dignified and gorgeous colors
full of circles. It
is a real oil painting,
not a digital, not a printed matter,
not a masterpiece (mainly because I can't afford it),
and I don't need to customize it. It has a special personality (the reason is the same as above),
as long as it is beautiful,
and the kind that can see the bumps and textures is fine,
hang it on the wall at home,
maybe it is the wall at the end of the corridor that
you can see at a glance from the corner of the sofa in the living room .
When no spotlights are turned on,
it is just a dim corner with no natural light intruding in,
but if a beautiful painting
enters, a beam of exclusive light must be turned on for her,
not to illuminate the dimness of the entire corner,
but only for guidance. look away.
