After watching the movie for a few days, I have been thinking: If Van Gogh lived in the present at the time, would he be better off? The world, the world made up of us laity, will never change. For some geniuses, we can only rely on time to give us enough opportunities to learn and praise them with hindsight.
"Everyone cares about how he dies, why doesn't anyone care how he lives?"
"Love Van Gogh" is the first film in the world that is entirely hand-painted and pure oil painting. The reference blueprint for the oil painting is still a representative work of Vincent van Gogh. For this reason, I chose to go to the cinema to watch the big screen.
While suitable for movie theaters, watching in movie theaters may not be for everyone. Since many of Van Gogh's works use spiral brushstrokes, when these brushstrokes move, it does make the viewer feel dizzy, and some people even feel that they are hypnotized and fall asleep smoothly. But maybe this is the starry sky that Van Gogh himself was concentrating on observing. Some people can't bear to blink and wish to have more eyes, and some people can't hold one eye. Even in some comments, I saw that some people were moved by their own views and their boyfriends fell asleep, so as to infer that the two were not suitable and had the idea of breaking up.
Actually, it's really not necessary, girl. In fact, do those of us who are touched really fully understand the real Van Gogh?
Indeed, being moved to tears is not only the first impression of many people, but I am also one of them. Even if the film didn't use sensationalism, the lonely and painful Van Gogh made me particularly have the urge to embrace him across the screen. But when I got home, I asked myself:
If you were the people around Van Gogh at that time, would you really do better than the people around Van Gogh in reality?
Do you have the ability to discern beyond time and space to realize how much his paintings can have an impact on future generations?
Can you identify the fire behind this man who is called a psychopath, a lunatic, and who cuts his own ears?
Would you like to know what kind of treasures there is in this sloppy, sloppy old man who is not working properly and is supported by his younger brother, so that he can finance his life with his own money?
I respect the artist and I love Van Gogh's colorful paintings, but my answer makes me feel bad for Van Gogh: no. no. can not. unwilling.
Would Van Gogh be better off if he lived in the present as he was then? The world, the world made up of us laity, will never change. For some geniuses, we can only rely on time to give us enough opportunities to learn and praise them with hindsight.
So girl, whether to break up or not, maybe you will have a different idea when you answer the few questions I asked myself.
It's no wonder that mortals don't know the goods, the splendor and treasures of genius are sometimes hidden too deep. They were in the mud, looking up at the stars, and saw the most wonderful things, and we saw only the dirt all over his body and were far away. This dirt is specific to Van Gogh and is called "Crazy". The genius is on the left, the lunatic is on the right.
I don't know what the medical standard is for a person to be crazy, and what are the different ways and standards of identification in different generations. But the frequent appearance of "weird people" who combine genius and lunatic makes me think that maybe this can't be called "crazy". Art inherently requires sensibility and concentration. Genius works are often born with a high degree of sensibility and concentration. How will such works affect the creator?
As Van Gogh's younger brother Theo van Gogh once wrote in a letter: "How much hard work your brain has done, and how much you have done everything to reach that limit, where vertigo is inevitable."
When a person's physical strength reaches the limit, the body will be very tired, but the spirit is often still active. When the human spirit reaches the limit and the physical strength is still abundant, it will probably act like a "madman". Different people's physical limits are different, and their spiritual limits are definitely different. Maybe it has not been ten years in total, and Van Gogh's amazing talent has burst forth. The time is too short and the inspiration is too much. In his heart, he may In my own spiritual world, I climbed to a certain limit again and again, but the string was pulled too tightly, and finally it snapped.
So maybe Van Gogh wasn't a lunatic, because there are too many true lunatics who have little creative talent. Maybe he is just an ordinary person who pushes himself too hard to better express what he wants to express. If there are such people in our lives, the minimum or even the only thing most of us can do is to be more lenient with them.
Don't let Van Gogh in the eyes of later generations have to survive too hard in this world.
This is my weak answer to the phrase "everyone cares how he dies, why no one cares how he lives?"
PS: I am very envious of the actors in the movie, although they can't fully show their acting skills in this movie, but each of them has a lot of Van Gogh-style portraits, it feels like the real Van Gogh will paint them for them like that.
