Restoring paintings with film

This biography is a bit boring, and I don't really appreciate it personally. I don't know much about the art of painting, let alone this famous painter, so I look a little sleepy, please forgive my superficiality. One thing I understand, the key to this movie is not the plot, but the mood. The whole movie is the canvas, the scenery, the characters, and the soundtrack. There were no cameras in those days, so painters used paintbrushes to reproduce images. Today, modern artists use the video art of film to restore leftover paintings into images, which is more meaningful than simply telling a person's life story.

J.M.W. Turner: Mr. Ruskin, can I pose you a somewhat "conundruous" question?
John Ruskin: Please do, Mr. Turner.
J.M.W. Turner: To which do you find yourself the more partial: a steak and kidney pie or veal and ham pie?

J.M.W. Turner: Flanders, still as flat as a witch's tit.
