a bad movie

Yesterday, I took a look at the cinema and talked about my feelings: I love Van Gogh, and I have read his autobiography. I was very excited when I saw the introduction of this film, but the viewing effect was very poor. The form of this film is greater than the content. I was fascinated when I saw it in the middle. In the end, I couldn't stand the discomfort caused by the pictures and left the stage early... In fact, Van Gogh's life itself is a legend, why not shoot the story of his life, but to explore Did he commit suicide? Perhaps the director, like the people at the time, did not understand Van Gogh. I think Van Gogh's loneliness and persistence are what makes him valuable. Although he is not understood, even hated and rejected, and his spirit is tortured by illness, he has no friends, no family, except his younger brother Theo, I am afraid that no one will stay with the "madman". But he still loves the world, loves it fervently, and has a pure and fiery heart. Shortly after Van Gogh's death, Theo also died, and the tombstones of the two were together, and life and death went hand in hand. But from a commercial standpoint, the film was undoubtedly a success. Two kinds of people have been successfully consumed: 1. People who want to use the name of "Van Gogh" to show that they have artistic appreciation; 2. People who really love Van Gogh, I am afraid that the first type is still the vast majority. Businessmen can look at the planning, promotion, implementation of this film, as well as various film peripherals in the later period, and see how others use people's psychology and feelings to dig for money. If you want to appreciate it as art, whether it's painting art or film art, you don't have to, because it really sucks.
