From 1 to 100

In your life, have you ever lived together for integration into the group? In the process of life exploration, life is full of many unresolved issues, there are many injustices in society, and there are many unwholesome human beings. Sometimes we will succumb to meet. But we are unhappy in our hearts.

At first, the painter Pollock Jackson gave the audience an intuitive feeling that he was a fearful child, his eyes were always low, he didn't speak much, and he looked like a cautious deer, especially the deer after drinking. Therefore, the film takes the low color as the keynote, highlighting the transition of the painter Pollock's life from the melancholy character to the final seemingly changing personality, and calmly tells the legendary life of the painter Pollock Jackson. The movie takes the protagonist's peak period as the dividing line, and tells the legendary life of the protagonist 10 years ago and 5 years later. The legend of Pollock's life can be divided into three stages: the initial period of confusion, the mid-term development period, and the later peak period.

The early painter Pollock was confused and decadent. If the decadence of ordinary people is easy to pass, then Pollock's decadence is complete. Ordinary people say that I am very decadent, but his heart is still running, and he has never stopped working. But Pollock's decadence is a silent accusation of sleeping in the streets like a beggar after drinking alcohol. During this period, his works were not recognized by everyone, and naturally they did not come into everyone's field of vision, so he accused the distress of life through alcoholism. At the same time, he himself is introverted and needs to rely on others, initially his brother Sandy. But in the end Sandy moved away from him for work. He lost control and danced around the dining table, like a mental lunatic making himself dirty. He hugged his brother Sandy and cried, begging his brother not to leave. Sandy said: Lee will come and take you away. Since then, he has lived with Li, a person who has supported him throughout his life.

Li admired his talent, met him, knew him, and loved him. At the end of the film, Pollock said: I owe that woman, I would have died without her. Pollock was lucky. He met Li, a woman who allowed him to continue to paint and gave him more opportunities to show himself and reach the pinnacle of life. But is she lucky for Li? Li is also a painter, in my opinion an impeccable wife, a close friend who is hard to meet. With the encouragement and support of Li's company, Pollock's paintings gradually emerged and received more exhibition opportunities. The works can enter the public's field of vision, and get interviews and film shooting opportunities. Slowly, his name was gradually known to the public, and he reached the pinnacle of life. However, at the same time as the arrival of fame, what did Pollock ignore, and what was slowly lost? At a family gathering, Pollock kept trying to show off his achievements, and even took out an article that mentioned him in the magazine "Modern Art" and read it. But apart from Li Ying and him, other family members including children ignored him and said: Is Picasso more important than your family? Pollock was like a family who didn't know how to take care of others and only centered on himself. He didn't know that his family also needed care.

Five years after the film came, over time, has the protagonist’s closed personality released? Pollock came back from the flower shop and stood on the grass that he had cultivated. Next to him was a letter from Li to him: Roses are the most beautiful crimson. I miss you, and I hope you can see roses too. I will be very happy if I can hear from you. The picture here is ridiculously bad. How are you, Jackson... She knew that Pollock had taken a third party to meet his friends, but still let Pollock decide everything. She treated him tenderly and loved him like a day. She took care of everything for him, allowing him more space to paint, and she moved out of the city to heal him. In the end, he respected Pollock's decision to stay away from him, but still loved him and missed her. Pollock drove to Cedar to find a third party every week under the pretext of going for psychotherapy. After the peak, Pollock looked like an ordinary person with seven passions and six desires. He was about to be replaced by a rising artist. Holding the injustice to himself, he quarreled loudly with Li and said that he would kill Li. He can drive by himself to find his beautiful woman in Cedar. When he met her best friend, he was not so restrained. It seemed that he had become normal, and he himself said that she was her last chance. But 5 years later, he started to drink heavily, and he could no longer paint as soberly as he did during those 10 years, and he could no longer complete one painting after another, titled "The Abyss", as if he was really exhausted. But did he really live as an ordinary person and heal himself?

After Lee left, Pollock would sometimes curl himself up on the bed, choking like he had curled up on the street 10 years ago. The difference is that his body is clean, his clothes are not dirty, and he is not stained with big brown-yellow paint, and he also promised the beautiful lady to go to the beach together. But he became silent again, did not respond, and did not take the initiative to speak. When he went to pick up the beautiful woman, he didn't get out of the car to help with the luggage, and he didn't help to open the car door. He sometimes stopped to think, his eyes stagnated, to isolate others. He drove on the road to accelerate, and finally died in a car accident. Under the seemingly normal appearance, he may have deceived everyone, but he could not deceive himself in the end. Maybe we pretend to look like people around us, but our thoughts are only temporarily imprisoned, and one day we won’t be able to perform.

What is life? All of us have been chasing. Who can see it again? How did you deal with it after seeing it clearly? Some people are searching hard, but are afraid to see clearly. After the investigation, the whole life passed again. It may be a legendary life, or a muddled life, but it was over anyway.

Painting is a window for Pollock to find himself. Integration is what everyone wants to do. Some people have lost themselves in the process of fusion. We have been looking for integration and slowly towards the end. We were conceived and came into the world, and only then began to have 1, we began to extend our lives, live and explore desperately, and then left behind 2······25·······50····· ·55······99, the end.
