The beloved English name of Van Gogh comes from the end of each letter of Van Gogh, which is really exquisite.
Van Gogh wrote hundreds of letters to his younger brother Theo in his life, and the plot of the film also revolved around Van Gogh's letters. In fact, this film is not a letter written by Van Gogh to the world. He used his struggles and contradictions in life and his paintings in life to tell his love and pursuit of painting art and his love for nature.
Different from previous biographical films, Beloved can be said to be a film that really looks at Van Gogh from the perspective of painting. 12 frame technology makes Van Gogh's paintings really come alive, and we can follow his footsteps into his inner world.
Every picture in the film was drawn by1more than 20 oil painting artists. The whole film contains 65,000 oil paintings, based on 120 original paintings created by Van Gogh and 800 handwritten letters.
Lu Lin, an old postman, and armand, his son, became the key figures in the film: two years after Van Gogh's death, the landlord found a letter that the painter had intended to send to his younger brother Theo, but after he sent it on his behalf, the letter was returned. Out of the long-standing friendship with Van Gogh, the old postman asked his son armand to deliver the letter to Theo's house in person. In order to investigate the cause of Van Gogh's death, armand visited many people close to Van Gogh.
Beloved Van Gogh, as the world's first oil painting animated feature film, surprised the world as soon as the trailer came out. It won the Golden Goblet Awards Best Animation Award at the Shanghai Film Festival and the Audience Choice Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animation.
As an oil painting film, Beloved is undoubtedly a success.
The significance of this film is not only to express the love for Van Gogh, but also to let more people know about Van Gogh and his paintings and experience his inner world in the popular form of "film".
Van Gogh's loneliness
Van Gogh's world is lonely, whether he is ordinary or great, calm or crazy, in the eyes of others, he is just what others call "the strange painter", and no one can really understand him.
After watching the whole film, I feel deep loneliness and loneliness, which is overwhelming.
"When you look at the bottom of the well, you find that the earth is not a continuous continent, but an island." Walden Lake (Thoreau, American writer)
Everyone is an island, and no matter how close it is, it can't be connected into a continent. We are eager to be close to others, but we are afraid of the harm caused by contact.
In a letter to Theo in a small town in Belgium, Van Gogh said, "Like everyone else, I need friendship and affection, or a trustworthy partner."
The lonely Van Gogh couldn't blend in with the people around him. He can only express his inner pain by constantly writing letters to his brother Theo. In fact, those letters to Theo were what Van Gogh was telling his soul.
Van Gogh's letter
Between 1872 and 1890, Van Gogh wrote more than 600 letters to his younger brother Theo, among which the most frequently mentioned themes were money and painting. He can only maintain the most basic life with the money sent by Theo, and Van Gogh is powerless in the face of real life. The sharp contrast between the pursuit of art and making a living makes Van Gogh more contradictory, depressed and sensitive.
However, no matter how depressing and miserable the real life was, Van Gogh never stopped pursuing the art of painting. When he talks about painting in his letters, his words are always full of passion. This letter is full of valuable ideas about nature, painting and art. We can even see an oil painting between his lines.
Van Gogh said that he was the most humble and ordinary person in the eyes of others, but he had treasure in his heart. The world he shows under the brush is dazzling and full of his yearning for beautiful things.
"Every time I look up at the starry sky, I wonder, why can't we touch the little stars in this sky? Can humans go to that bright star through the road of death? "
"So it is better to go to Xinghai and spend your old age."
Everything that happened before Van Gogh's death is a mystery.
Van Gogh just left this world and went to his starry sky.
Van Gogh painted 864 oil paintings, 1 0,037 sketches and 1 0,50 watercolors in his life. Until his death at the age of 37, he painted an average of 256 paintings a year. Considering the time-consuming situation of a painting, it can be said that he is painting every day.
"There is a fire in everyone's heart, and passers-by only see smoke. But someone, someone can see this fire and come and stay with me. "
We saw fire in his paintings.
There is treasure in my heart, gorgeous and bright.
Pay tribute to Van Gogh and love Van Gogh.
