Watching this kind of artist's legendary film, the most annoying thing is to add a lot of later annotations because of the prediction of the ending, rather than the practice of reproducing the artist's life. However, as I don't know much about art history, this film can be regarded as a version for the image and qualifications of the artist in my heart. The rhythm of the film is tight, the shots are full of changes, and the music is colorful.
There are many subjective shots in the film, mainly focusing on the protagonist Modigliani facing difficulties, the intention is to make the audience feel pity for the genius. In addition, the accompaniment of childhood images of inner dialogue with the adult protagonist seems to be outdated, but what Modigliani thinks, based on his introverted and arrogant personality, outsiders do not know very much.
Modigliani was beaten to death for drinking without money to pay the bills. This old-fashioned soap opera plot to win the audience's sympathy is simply too low.
The choice of actors is not bad, they look very atmospheric, and supplemented by personal imagination, it is quite in line with the expectations of the artist. It's just that Modigliani feels a little more sophisticated and more suitable to play the gang boss.
At the end of the film, the lonely and decisive image of Jane, who is about to jump out of the window, with her back to the window is shocking. People are moved. In the first part of the film, Modigliani went to the city hall to apply for a marriage certificate and nag to the clerks. His happiness was beyond words, and his fingers were still stained with various colors of paint.
