Anyone who has followed me a little longer should know that my dream is to become a painter. And Van Gogh is my idol. That's why, after watching "Beloved Van Gogh", I was angry. Unbearably disappointed. I am disappointed not that it is not good, but that it can be better! The story line of the whole movie is so simple, it just wants to restore Van Gogh's image and person from the perspective of multiple bystanders, and the inner activity of the protagonist and the first outbreak of the scene is to find out the cause of Van Gogh's death, Suicide or homicide. As a result, the theme of the entire movie has shifted its center of gravity, and even half of the time it feels like a suspense movie! I had my fucking Conan's voice changer and anesthesia watch out, ready to shoot the guy sitting next to me - even though it was just the two of us in the whole movie theater. I didn't understand what kind of person Van Gogh was. He pursued art and truth. Even if he was not understood, he persisted. He was kind and easy-going on the surface. Almost no one helped him, understood him, and even a lot of people deliberately harassed him and excluded him. He has been burning all the time, he has been working hard, he would rather die in pursuit of truth and never make any compromises, but unfortunately no one sees it, the numb, giggling crowd is indifferent and stupid, can't see the fire, his genius For creation, only one pair of those paintings was sold during his lifetime, and in the end his flesh and blood were burnt clean, so he just died. Such an image is not fully and comfortably displayed in the movie, on the contrary, it gives people an unpleasant sense of disappointment. Note, I'm talking about the movie, not Van Gogh. Many people praised this movie because they liked Van Gogh so much, so they didn't focus on telling the flaws of the story, but no one can deny that as a movie, the story is really average. Yes, there are also a lot of finishing touches in the movie, such as the conflict caused by the opposite evaluations of Van Gogh by multiple characters at the beginning, such as the sentence: Why do you care so much about how he died, but not how he lived. But while saying such words, while making the whole movie a suspenseful atmosphere to promote the plot, are you hitting yourself in the face? Still want to educate us? Many people use this film to talk about Van Gogh, some are true love, some are following the trend, but I have to say something bad, are you praising Van Gogh, or are you praising this movie for making a full of Van Gogh? High taste? You can see the high praise on Zhihu as an example. The full text talks about how innovative the animation is, how technical it is, so many oil paintings, it is definitely worth watching, and so on. However, he also said that when he was watching the story in the first section, he fell asleep. on! She is just an animation lover, and thinks the movie is worth it in terms of technology and graphics. I am speechless. So, with such a good production, such a good subject matter, such a good character and genius, why can't we make a better narrative? For the production, the 65,000 oil paintings, and the love for Van Gogh, I would give the movie a 9+,
But for the narrative, from the objective evaluation of the film, I am very dissatisfied. Don't tell me that the movie has already expressed it, it's just more restrained. "Going Forward" is called restraint, but the measure is perfect, only brave, without sensationalism or routine, but deeply moved the audience. "Beloved Van Gogh" is really not restraint, but lack, and the focus of the story is shifted and failed. As a fan of Van Gogh, I am just disappointed, it could have been better. So in the end I declined to grade. I only hope that the same production and innovation can improve the narrative level next time, tell a better story in a down-to-earth manner, and highlight the theme more, instead of blindly consuming Van Gogh.
