Mentions or works of art in the lens

It's just a few piecemeal footnotes. (But it's also a relatively complete version. In order to facilitate the locking of the artwork, I have seen many fans on the Internet, but I did not pick it all...)

I'm too lazy to write a complete index format of works, so I only wrote a short version. (Because I can't remember the artist's full name and year of birth and death haha)

Send children birds, storks, cranes. Later, Jasper's jokes also appeared. This is not a work of art, but I just want to start with "Send Child Bird".

Actually Jasper’s prototype is John Lennon

The graffiti on the background wall is Kissing Coppers by Banksy

Banksy, Kissing Coppers (2004)

The two paintings are the hardest to find, but I always feel familiar with them so I want to turn them out. The one on the left is too blurry. Looking at the composition and movements, I tend to be Lippi's "Madonna, Child and Two Angels", but it doesn't seem to be the same on closer inspection. On the right should be La belle jardinière by Raphael. In short, they should all be paintings of related subjects.

Filippo Lippi, Madonna and Child (c. 1450-1465)

Raphael, La belle jardinière (1507)

Michelangelo’s statue of David, but a leg was broken... In this conversation, it was mentioned that Mi Da’s other sculpture "Mourning for Christ" was blown up, and this sentence echoed behind it.

00:19:26

The background wall is Picasso's "Guernica", the greatest masterpiece of art about war (it is some kind of recognition).

00:20:40

No one can ignore this. The pig flying outside the window...Of course it is an inflatable pig that pays tribute to Pink Floyd, but inflatable pigs are not only on the cover of the Animals album. PF often uses inflatable pigs as props during the tour. (Too lazy to find pictures, harm)

Why did Kee say that he was pregnant and didn't just lift the clothes, or compare the shape a little (like many times later), and the hand that blocks the chest in the middle was changed once, because I borrowed Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" here.

Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus (c. 1484–1486).

00:50:08

This sentence Shantih Shantih Shantih is not a work of art. It should be an eulogy in Sanskrit that expresses some kind of blessing. It is marked because it also appears in the "Wasteland" by the poet Eliot.

01:24:10

Earlier, I mentioned the "Mourning for Christ" by the destroyed Mi Da, and then filmed a mother who lost her son in a similar posture in a war zone. Although the works of art have been destroyed, history still reappears in some form.

Michelangelo, Pietà (1498-1499)

01:35:34

Part of the background wall is the split and reconstruction of Guernica.

Pablo Picasso, Guernica (1937)

01:36:24

Beginning with the child-sending bird is actually trying to end with the child-sending bird...

There are still a lot of fragmentary details in the film, and I think it should be from a source, especially some inexplicable close-ups. Maybe you will find it later and add it intermittently. (If you can find it.)

    Master Hippie Kane. Take the baby out of the ruins. People still remember the good things. Touching

    Compare it with "This Man From Earth". But here, there is no cause and effect, only now, let you think. Is a world without a future worth continuing?
