In the huge and barren landscape, two village women sneered past, and the top of the grass-covered slope was sketched by the master landscape painter Joseph Marod William Turner with his simple sketchpad. This is a typical Belgian creative trip for the 51-year-old painter in 1826. After returning to his London studio, he mixed the residual temperature in the wilderness and crazy concentration, and applied paint on the canvas with ease.
Director Mike Lee, who rarely leaves the soil of realism, chose the theme of the biography of historical figures this time, trying to pay tribute to the traditional art of painting with modern digital technology. By starting the narrative in 1826, when the painter had entered the late stage of creation, we can focus on the last 25 years of Turner's life, and show how he made his works almost movement in the flawed personal life and the passionate creative experience. Pre-impressionist quality up. Yes, the increasingly abstract and grandiose creations of Turner’s late period endowed the later French Impressionist painters with great wealth inspiration. And Speed - The Great Western Railway" - let the directors, including Mike Lee, who love the art of painting, be willing to trace him as the true grandfather of the art of film. Although Turner in the movie, in the last years of his life, saw the magic of photography and had his own portrait stored on celluloid film instead of canvas.
According to historical facts from research, Mike Lee put Turner's life between the London studio and the Margate seaside apartment. In the former, he lives with his closest father and life steward, Hannah, with whom he maintains an almost primitive animalistic relationship. The acting star Timothy Spall, who is well-known for his Wormtail image in the Harry Potter series, has successfully created a chubby, clumsy artist with severe breathing difficulties. Suddenly, he hugged the housekeeper from behind and mated roughly like a wild boar. In the latter place, between the velvet sea and sky hides the graceful light that Turner loves most. In order to find the best scene and picture, he even tied himself to the top of the sailboat mast to obtain the extreme of creating storm scenes. Experience, and the widowed Ms. Booth, also logically became his last lover.
At other times, he was a member of the Anti-Slavery Whig Party at the Royal Academy of Arts, which also holds the largest collection of his works. Although he has long been successful and financially free, he seems to be an idiot in life, but he has also deliberately adopted various strategies to maintain his prominent position in various public art exhibitions in London. Mike Lee accurately restored the chaotic scene that the artist finally described for his works in the noisy exhibition. He is proficient in social communication, greeting the busy artists before the exhibition, but his own works that are not conspicuous, but hang with the heavy "Waterloo Bridge Open" by Constable, the biggest competitor. Turner greeted casually, "Hi, Constable." After walking around and looking back, he suddenly added a yellow dot to his little work. There is such an embarrassing scene in history that Constable complained: "Turner came and fired a shot."
Mike Lee's many well-received realist works in the past will also be Slightly criticized his lines for some Dickensian exaggeration. Shooting such a Victorian biographical film can completely silence these criticisms. After all, the two people who also created natural aesthetics have always been the object of academic inquiry, and even struggled to find their real communication. Now, it would be perfect for Turner to comfortably speak Dickensian lines.
