Pollock

remembers that when I heard that Ed Harris was going to shoot the great abstract expressionist Pollock when he first directed the tube, I couldn't help but get in touch with Xu Jinjiang and Guan Shanyue for no reason. As a Hollywood stylized tough guy, filming the life of such an artist can never be regarded as a trick and flattering thing. Without a little persistent courage and genuine talent, he would never bet on the director's debut. Pollock was once a star artist in the field of contemporary art, and the movie flashed back from the turning point in his life when his work appeared in New York "Life" magazine, focusing on his last fifteen years of life until the crash. In this movie, Ed Harris has a mature and superb performance. Although he plays Pollock with genius energy and boldness, he has hard-edged and thick lines. Grumpy laborer. It is worth mentioning that in the film, he personally fully demonstrated Pollock's most talked-about drip-color action painting method, with strong skill. This kind of ritual painting method is full of hypnotic religiousness. The visual style is fanatical and full of vitality, but the vertical and horizontal unruly lines made by dripping and splashing clearly show his barriers and struggling to doubt. Sleepy beast life. After a generation of masters became famous, they were lost and indulged in painful self-denial, and eventually went to ruin. Marcia Gay Harden played Pollock's wife Lee Krasner in the film, and therefore unexpectedly won the Oscars for Best Supporting Actress with a dark horse.

Pollock quotes

  • Jackson Pollock: [referring to Lee] I'm dead without her.

    Ruth Kligman: But I'm the one who loves you, Jackson.

  • Jackson Pollock: If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.
