It's a world where no freaks can survive

Why are the last few seasons of The Big Bang Theory so bad?

Because the characters in it are no longer freaks, they all become normal people around you who get married and have children. For the audience, or for the general public, their screen meaning is gone, so the theme has become a warm family scene comedy, and it's no wonder that such a series doesn't go downhill.

Whether it's "Favorite Starry Sky" or "Gate of Eternity", they all try to interpret the freak Van Gogh into a normal person. In these two works, Van Gogh's conscious image is infinitely approaching the direction of Christ Jesus, and he almost has a halo behind his head. This is to become a god! Just because he's a freak who succeeds after death? Is it necessary to incorporate his world and the ideological direction acceptable to the mainstream public? From these two works, a glimpse of the appreciation level of Americans is really not superficial and sad.

In fact, from the viewing point of view, it can be said to be very comfortable. Whether it is post-grading or tilt-shifting, the expressiveness is very good. Some of the stream of consciousness shots can also be said to be in line with Van Gogh's style. But the moment Hannibal and Willem Dafoe begin to discuss Van Gogh's self-knowledge, the force of the film falls from the clouds to the ground. Originally expected to be Willem Dafoe's immortal work in his later years, it seems too optimistic. No matter how good the performance is, it is helpless to encounter a script like shit.

If "Love Starry Sky" is a feast of French dazzling skills on 7 or 8 wheels, then "Gate of Eternity" can be said to be a silver plate served in a crystal vessel by a waiter in a white glove tuxedo When the lava cake was served, you moved your index finger, and couldn't wait to pierce the brown cake shell. The result was stool. This is the look and feel of the second half of the film.

Why can't lunatics do good things? Why do you have to find a high-sounding reason for Van Gogh's madness?

If you want to paint anything, you must try your best to decorate it. This virtue is really human nature, regardless of national boundaries.

Whether it is a painter or a singer, the real value of a work is not blown out by such a movie.

No matter how beautiful the film is, it can't compare to one-tenth of the shock of facing his paintings.

Four-star rating, one star for Willem Dafoe's acting + photography + cast, and the other three stars for the easter eggs at the end of the film, this is the most moving place.
