16 10 July, the beach in Port Elkole, Sicily, stretched lazily in the hot air, Michelle? Caravaggio is dying. He has been wandering in Naples, Malta and Sicily since the battle in Rome four years ago. Finally, I heard the decree that the Pope pardoned him, so, "He packed a few things, rented a boat and went back to Rome. However, on the beach, he was arrested innocently and released two days later. His boat is no longer there. In anger and despair, he ran along the beach under the scorching sun in July, hoping to see the boat. " However, he fell down and the herdsmen carried him to the top of the mountain. He had a high fever and died a few days later. This year, he was thirty-nine years old. Caravaggio, the most important Italian painter in the late Renaissance, has dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin. His image is many pictures under his brush, and his color is the main tone of his pictures. He is rough and aggressive, always looking for opportunities to hurt himself or others. He loves women more than men, and he loves the dagger that never leaves his body. He did not follow the traditional way of painting, and many descendants were influenced by him, but some people thought that he destroyed the art of painting. From this narcissistic, disobedient, brave and destructive Caravaggio, Gaman seems to see himself. Caravaggio is his most cherished theme. Therefore, he rebuilt post-Renaissance Rome in a big warehouse in London: white doors and walls, street scenes of restaurants and haystacks; Overenergetic, passionate and grumpy Italians. He is rebuilding Caravaggio's studio and his photos; Huge canvas, bright ochre red just ground in a stone mortar, dark black; A boy with a fruit basket, a teenager who was stung by a scorpion, and the delicate cheeks and trembling strings of four musicians in the "Youth Concert"; And Ronoche, Caravaggio's beloved Ronoche who was finally stabbed to death by his dagger. He is strong, handsome, vulgar and greedy. He plays Saint Mathieu and John the Baptist in a Red Velvet. Caravaggio's masterpiece was redrawn under the lens of Gaman, and the characters on the screen became the story around Caravaggio. Although the plot is not much, it is thrilling. Fruits, flowers and men's bodies are full of temptations and desires. Medusa's head was flying with snakes, her neck was bleeding, and her mouth was open, shouting her last fear, but the image was obviously Caravaggio himself. In the cold light of the dagger, Caravaggio's picture is full of murderous look.
Caravaggio was finally completed and was a great success at the Berlin Film Festival. The resistance and pressure from the media in the past seven years have made Gaman have a deeper understanding of gay culture and gay rights, and he has also become the most sober supporter and fighter of gay rights. 1986 On Christmas Eve, after Caravaggio was released, Gaman went to the hospital for an HIV test, and as expected, the result was positive. A month later, he publicly announced that he was ill. Eight years ago, few people had the courage to openly admit that they were gay, let alone that they had AIDS. It seems that Gaman became the first person to tell the truth publicly. Later, when someone asked him why he did it, he said, "I did it for myself and for my self-esteem. I have been trying to live frankly, clearly and acceptably all my life. Sometimes, I find people around me so scared and unhappy. They are afraid to tell others the truth about their lives. So, I did it for myself, not for others. If my practice inadvertently helps some people, then I will be very happy. " "I am not a spokesperson, I only say myself." The whole screen is blue, only music and a group of voices: noisy hospital sound, noisy sea sound, the protagonist's statement sound. Sometimes it's the humor in the absurd sense, "I stopped in front of a shoe store, but I still gave up the idea of buying shoes." These shoes on my feet are enough to make me die "; Sometimes I miss my good friends who have died of AIDS. I keep repeating those names, "David, Howard, Graham, Terry, Paul …" "I have no friends, they are either dead or dying"; Sometimes it's anger at a hypocritical society. "Although there is the slogan" Live with AIDS ",I will not win in the fight against AIDS. Healthy people only use viruses, while patients must live with AIDS. People's awareness of AIDS has improved, but they have also lost something. Realism is dramatized, buried, and the mind is blinded and becomes blind. " [/SIZE]
"Blue" is a rejection of fear and despair, and a free state of blatant disobedience between the teeth of death. "I give you the blue of the universe. Blue is a door to the soul, and infinite possibilities will come true. "
In his last book, at your own risk, Gaman wrote an epitaph for himself: "Tonight, I am exhausted, unable to concentrate, and my body is gradually depressed. Comrade friends, when I leave you, I will leave singing. As a witness, I must write the sadness of this era, but I don't want to erase your smile. Please read what I wrote between the lines about caring and loving the world, then close the book and love! I hope you have a better future and love carefree. Also remember, we are in love. As the night gets dark, the starlight will be exposed. "
