Don't blame him, he's just a great man

"Look at me." Colin Firth's Vermeer said.
He still carried that kind of power, as if he could command the world to stop in an instant. Of course, even if that's not true - Griet's world is bound to stop.

She didn't move her shoulders, she turned her head and saw that his eyes were soft, soft and sad.

Scarlett's Griet's eyes were erratic, and she lowered her head slightly, then raised her head again, still flattered and overwhelmed. With a piece of black in front of him, the light refracted from the dignified pearls and light-colored pupils.

It is like a ship that is about to lift anchor and sail away in the twilight, burning lights that will eventually become blurred into a spot of light, carrying the extravagant hope of staying together and the inevitable separation. The people on the boat looked back like a pillar of salt, and the other person was still standing on the pier by the shore. Although someone was pulling her hand forward and someone was patting him on the shoulder, none of them wanted to turn their heads to look at these people.
They didn't speak, and let her take a good look at him while their eyes were still at a distance.

This group of shots, Let me forgive this skinny movie wrapped in fancy clothes and decorated with two brilliant diamonds of Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson.
The movie seems to want to say a lot, but it doesn't make it clear.

And I'd like to say
that Vermeer in the movie is similar to most of the men in the world, and also to all the great artists in the world. They want far more than just a princess, but their own castle, territory, kingdom.
Griet, Madame Vermeer...dedicated his deepest love to him, and he dedicated everything to art.
Don't blame him, he's just a great man.

Girl with a Pearl Earring quotes

  • Van Ruijven: So, have you decided what to do up next, Jan? Have you found inspiration up in that room of yours? Is there another patron in Delft with pockets as deep as mine?

  • Vermeer: [Describing his newly arrived Camera Obscura] See this? This is called a lens. Beams of reflected light from that corner pass through it, into the box, so that we can see it here.

    Griet: Is it real?

    Vermeer: It's an image. A picture made of light.

    Griet: Does the box show you what to paint?

    Vermeer: It helps.
