After watching this film, which claims that all the pictures are supported by hand-painted oil paintings, "Love Van Gogh" is really amazing. The process of making it is like a performance art in my opinion. The film is made entirely of hand-painted oil paintings in the style of Van Gogh's paintings, and is the world's first hand-painted oil painting feature film.
The director used the perspective of a post office owner's son: a confused and immature young man to show the various evaluations and opinions of Van Gogh's neighbors before his death. To commemorate and engrave the Van Gogh in my heart. Whether it is making this film or watching this film, there is a hint of performance art.
Although the whole process is made of hand-painted oil paintings converted from movies, you can still see the faces of some familiar actors! At first I guessed that the young man should be played by the male protagonist of King Hai Bian, but later I found out that I guessed wrong, it is Douglas, the male protagonist of Jupiter Rising.
But the actor who played the doctor recognized it at a glance. He played the bounty hunter in the American drama Game of Thrones, Jerome.
Rough oil paintings can't cover up the appearance of the two female protagonists!
Let’s end with the words of Van Gogh:
When I draw a sun, I want people to feel that it is spinning at an incredible speed, sending out terrifying waves of light and heat.
When I paint a field of wheat, I want people to feel that the wheat is working towards its final maturity and bloom.
When I draw an apple tree, I want people to feel that the juice in the apple is propping up the peel, and the seed in the core is pushing for fruit.
When I paint a man, I paint his turbulent life.
