The film analyzes the death of Van Gogh layer by layer, whether it was a suicide by shooting or being shot by a "friend". There are two lines in the movie that touched me deeply:
- "So lonely Vincent, hangs out with drunk and rambunctious young people and gets shot, or just wants to shoot and end his lonely life out of desperation, the result is the same, no matter what."
- "You want to know how he died, so do you know how he lived?"
Van Gogh's body is full of stories. "During his lifetime, he was impoverished, and after his death, he became famous. At the age of 37, he committed suicide by shooting himself. He cut off his ear and gave it to a prostitute...". I once hated him, why should I be a parasite to drag down PUA's younger brother, why should I escape from real life and be a person who causes trouble for others. It was not until I experienced the turmoil of life, saw the hypocrisy of this world, and shattered my expectations for myself and life again and again, that I was moved by Van Gogh's paintings.
Because there are stars and sea in Van Gogh's paintings
"When I draw a sun, I want people to feel that it's spinning at an incredible speed, sending out terrifying waves of light and heat."
"When I paint a field of wheat, I want people to feel that the wheat is working towards its final maturity and bloom ."
During his lifetime, Van Gogh painted 864 oil paintings, 1037 drawings, and 150 watercolors. He created so many works, on the one hand, because of his ardent pursuit, he wrote to his younger brother, "I don't care about the long and the short of life. I don't care about these things and continue to do my own way, but there is one The thing is clear: I have to do a certain amount of work in a limited number of years.
On the other hand, painting is his way of presentation, his way of communicating with people, just like a person's hands, a person's feet, a part of his body. He would draw a picture of his bedroom and send it to Gauguin, inviting him to come and see his house; he would draw a sketch of a landscape to his younger brother, telling him that he was getting better and better in a familiar environment.
Van Gogh's brushstrokes are fluid and dynamic. You can see the sun rise in the east and set in the west, and you can see the starry sky moving. Van Gogh's colors are emotional. From the dark and calm tones in the early days, it gradually became brighter and brighter. Van Gogh's desire for expression was extremely strong. He wrote many letters and painted many paintings in his life.
Loneliness becomes the norm until you hide for a long time
"Schizophrenia is a state of being an early infant or child in adults. According to psychoanalysis, infants before 3 months are in a state of paranoid schizophrenia. 'Schizophrenia' is the division of the world into two. Good and bad cannot coexist. Adults come out of this state, and schizophrenics stay in this state forever.”
Van Gogh struggled with division throughout his life. No one is born alone. He was eager to be recognized at first. Unfortunately, everyone only recognizes "successful career" and only "smooth gray game". He couldn't fit in, and he began to avoid it. After escaping for a long time, loneliness became the norm, and after a long time of loneliness, he was separated from the world. Except for the younger brother, there is almost no one who truly loves him and tolerates him. The only younger brother who loves him is also getting worse and worse because of his drag on his body and living standards. He wants to try to love others, but unfortunately his crazy love is just a burden to others.
He cannot survive in his world, he is financially dependent on his younger brother Theo, spiritually dependent on painting, he only sold one painting when he was alive for 400 francs, and this buyer was not with Van Gogh What resonance is there, it is entirely in the face of Van Gogh's younger brother Theo, a professional painting seller.
There is a topic on Zhihu, why did Van Gogh, who loves life, choose to commit suicide. People hate madmen, but they love to make artists into madmen. While magnifying the value of art, it ruthlessly tramples on their human dignity.
I want to be a loving person
I would like to be a person full of affection, even if I know I will be hurt.
When I was a child, I often felt that the world exists because of me. If there is no me, then what is the meaning of the world to me? After growing up, I felt that the world exists because of the people I love and the people who love me. If I don't have my parents who love me, what meaning does the world have to me? Later, when I went to school and worked, the society kept stressing to me that you are not important, results are more important, goals are more important, and achievements are more important. If you don’t contribute, what meaning do you have in this world?
Seems to be growing, I just feel bitter.
I really like Mr. Zhou Guoping's point of view, the human organ to feel "happiness" is not the eyes, not the limbs, not the sense of taste. Living in a big house, wearing beautiful clothes, having endless money to spend, and eating delicious food brings not happiness but satisfaction. There is no end to satisfaction, the end of satisfaction is desire.
Anyone who weighs the pros and cons of the mentality, where can there be happiness at all. Even if you can't love someone unreservedly, you have to love something unreservedly, just like Van Gogh loved his paintings.
"When I paint a sun, I want people to feel that it is spinning at an incredible speed, sending out terrifying waves of light and heat; when I paint a field of wheat, I want people to feel that the wheat is heading towards its final maturity and bloom. Effort; when I draw an apple tree, I want people to feel that the juice in the apple is propping up the peel and the seed in the pit is rising to bear fruit. When I draw a man, I draw him A torrent of life. If there is no longer something infinite, profound and real in life, I will no longer be attached to the world.''
