No one should know what a filter is now. Even if you haven’t used ps or Meitu Xiuxiu, you should have used the phone’s built-in retouching function. Among them, there is an option to process photos into cheap paintings. , It is indeed inferior to this movie, but some time ago, an Apple app that claimed to make painters unemployed was popular. To be honest, it is obviously better than this group of living people.
Let’s take a look at the producer’s propaganda:
“The director recruited 125 painters from 15 countries from all over the world. After receiving a 3-week training course, in the next 3 years, he produced more than 1,000 artists. Then it took another year to transform the static images into dynamics to adapt to the movie. This is the world’s first oil painting film composed of 12 oil paintings per second and a total of more than 65,000 works."
WTF ? ? ?
Ordinary audiences can easily be fooled by this statement, but in fact, the method of making this movie is to use real actors to shoot a live-action movie in a studio, and then use this as a base to pile paint brush strokes on each frame of the screen. The technical content is I am afraid that it is not as good as the paintings in Dafen Village. It is really not suitable to be called an oil painting film, because although oil paint is used, it cannot be called a "painting". Don't ask me how I knew it, I guessed it, and it was consistent with the facts. People with basic art literacy would know it at a glance.
I don’t want to comment on this kind of trick, because on the contrary, it’s very clumsy and stupid. I don’t know who these 125 painters are, but I think most of them should be at the bottom of the industry level, or be trained by this so-called three weeks. Become a terrible painter, most of the time the pictures are extremely uncoordinated, full of redundant information that is not covered and simplified, and looks like a discounted live-action movie, with inconsistent style and lack of attractive details.
Occasionally for half a minute, the movie presents a decent sense of painting, such as the protagonist's first encounter with Gachet's housekeeper (if you ignore the motionless cardboard background), and the vision of chasing the train, and so on. Perhaps some of them did not get lost in the stupid work of superimposing the paint brush strokes on every frame of the live-action movie, keeping a bit of the dignity of a painter.
Drawing on the basis of photo books or projections can easily make people become incapable of drawing, stiff, expressive, and at a loss what to do. Using this method to make a 2d animation movie is stupid. Some particularly absurd treatments, such as a face filled with irregular brushstrokes, with two neat rows of teeth in the mouth. Even many places, especially the black and white part, are just a little blurry live-action movie. Do you call this an oil painting movie?
Because of the real-life shooting, the dynamics of the characters are completely real. However, in 2d animation movies with different styles, the movement of the characters is actually completely different, such as Mickey Mouse, Yixiu, Crazy Beauty, and Feitianxiao. Policewoman, so Van Gogh's style is matched with real-life smooth dynamics, which is actually undesigned, giving people a strong sense of incongruity.
Is this really a movie based on Van Gogh's paintings? However, in addition to making the original deep original work ridiculous like a clown, the ingenuity based on the painting is so pitiful, and the plot need not be said, dull, boring, and surprisingly incompetent, lower than my expectations. It's uglier, stupid, and meaningless. Only the composition of certain original works can be viewed on the big screen.
With all due respect, these 15 countries, 125 painters, 3 weeks of course training, more than 4 years of production time, 65,000 "works", are basically useless.
This is a movie that makes me leave the scene many times in the middle, so I won't be too serious about it.
