If you expect too much, you may be disappointed.

The protagonist is too old. Although the acting skills are very good, after all, Van Gogh committed suicide at the age of 37. However, in the film Van Gogh already feels like he is nearly 60 years old. The most disappointing thing is Gauguin's actor, who is a ruffian. Rogue, I didn’t see Gauguin’s love for painting at all in the film. Painting a female model also feels like flirting with others. The temperament is too low, the picture is beautiful, the colors are great, but it’s too much effort. Van Gogh acted so bitterly and so profoundly, Van Gogh's emotions were simple and strong, and the beauty he showed was a grandeur with tears in his eyes!

    I remember that Van Gogh invited Gauguin because the studio rent was too expensive, and Gauguin came to Van Gogh because the painting could not be sold, so he asked Theo for it. But none of this gossip matters. I prefer to understand the original intention of its creation as a tribute to Van Gogh by contemporary artists, a review and nostalgia for the artistic tradition, and an exquisite imitation of Van Gogh's inner creative state. 2.5

    Regardless of the unique animation attributes of "Love Van Gogh", "Gate of Eternity" is more marginal and individual in comparison. The former tells what kind of person "Van Gogh" is from the third-person perspective of wandering among different characters, while the latter uses a large number of half-virtual and half-real lenses to symbolize the state of Van Gogh's spiritual world - half reality and half hallucination. The exchange of viewpoints is also implied in the use of the lens. A large number of subjective shots + third-person viewpoints are switched back and forth. We are free between Van Gogh and the surrounding, suspended in the artist's inner world, and the image helps me to be there. . The setting at the end: Van Gogh's body was placed in the middle of his paintings, surrounded by businessmen who came to pay their respects and bought paintings. It was ironic that no one in front of him cared about it and no one understood it, and the famous people behind him stayed in the world.

At Eternity's Gate quotes

  • [first lines]

    Vincent Van Gogh: I just want to be one of them. I would like to sit down with them and have a drink and talk about anything. I'd like them to give me some tobacco, a glass of wine, or even just ask me, "How are you today?" And I would answer, and we would talk. And from time to time I'd make a sketch of one of them as a gift. They would accept it, maybe, and keep it somewhere, and a woman would smile at me and ask, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? A piece of ham, some cheese, or maybe a fruit?"

  • Priest: Tell me frankly, because I'd like to understand. Why do you say you are a painter?

    Vincent Van Gogh: Because I paint. I love painting. I have to paint. Always been a painter, that I know of.
