Based on the comic book of the same name by Daniel Clowes, a poignant satire, Daniel Clowes drew material from his own art school experience, based on Brooklyn's Pratt Institute of Art, about how a group of snobbish students and mentors treated absurdly Art and treatment of creation: The ambiguity, uncertainty and deconstruction of modernism have become a fig leaf and a shield for the ignorance of teachers and students. They fool around with seemingly profound artistic concepts all day long, and use them to decorate their works. Mediocre, substantive is no different from speculation and shortcuts, and superstitious artists must be eccentric people, and they praise "weird artists" without any basis, as if they can only cut off their ears, or leave their wives and children and run to the south. Only those who go to the Pacific Island to paint are considered genuine artists, which eventually makes the original protagonist, Gero, prefer to pretend that he is a murderer, to be worshipped in prison, and to be admired by the goddess in his heart. There is no mercy in this film, all the characters, including the beautiful heroine, are extremely vulgar and hopeless, and Geralt is ultimately completely lost and lost. Ironically, the undercover cop who was sent to the school was more artistically gifted (his painting in the film was the study of the original author Daniel Clowes himself when he was in art school), and he also really fell in love with the undercover process. He painted, but his artistic life came to an end because of the exposure of his final identity, and those who had spoken highly of his work turned to denounce him as a lackey of the social machine, an enemy of humanity and freedom—despite his work and There is no connection between his identities at all. If you can endure the endless stream of malicious ridicule in the film, then the jokes and fun of this film can really be said to be very rich.
