just by judging from the trailer,i don't know if i'd understand this movie.the trailer makes me kind of angry.blouAngel wrote:This is one of the most beautiful and at the same time disturbing films I've ever seen. I saw it on the big screen when it came out. It messed with my head for about a week. I think it will still be a few years before I can watch the whole thing again, but it's still probably my favorite movie of all time. The cameras were all hand held, which has a much greater impact on a big screen and is a very important part of the movie experience, but it's worth watching any way you can.
Note Deep Purple's Child in Time in the soundtrack. It's a perfect fit.

why is he doing that to her?
oh yeah,to see a "live" painting has soo much more impact,and i am extremely impressed by van gogh even on print but i don't understand how out of everyone he became like the most famous ever..that seems almost like a practical joke from whoever's in charge up there to me.blouAngel wrote:Northern European art often has a grey, but still very colorful look to it. That's more what I mean about the look of the film. These are a few prints by Munch that show that to some extent. Keifer's work is similarly colored and his paintings are huge which is a lot like a movie screen.
I was going to recommend van Gogh's letters to you and post it in the "Written Word" forum. I'll still post it there if I remember. Reproductions no matter what form just don't do justice to paintings. If you've seen van Gogh's art in person and weren't impressed, I'm surprised. If you haven't it is worth doing. I traveled to NYC a few years ago just to see an exhibit of his work and it was well worth both the trip and 3+ hour wait in line. Before that, I saw an exhibit closer to home in DC, which had three small self portraits hung in a group. It was amazing how different they were in every way and just how much he did with the shapes of his brush strokes and the different qualities of the paints he was working with. He put his soul into his words, but he did the same with his canvas.
John Berger has written a number of great books about art and what it does. He's best known for a BBC series called Ways of Seeing that he hosted in the early 70's. It was inspired by an essay by a German writer named Walter Benjamin which was called Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner
technischen Reproduzierbarkeit. It talks about what has happened to art and it's meaning since we have begun to see it more in the form of copies than as it was made. The whole series is available on youtube, (which is sort of ironic) and it's worth seeing, particularly considering how we know one another and how we are able to share our interests and ideas with one-another.
I love his shirt!
that's why i'm afraid to watch that movie also,a lot of times i'm afraid it will remind me of something but a lot of times it also helps me understand or teaches me something...ziggy wrote:I wish I could enjoy those kind of movies. If it is that disturbing I'm afraid to watch it!
I am a person who can keep her emotions well in check in order to deal with life - but sit me in front of an emotional or disturbing movie and I fall apart.
I have been haunted for days by movies and once had an anxiety attack from trying not to cry during a movie.
My life has had enough sorrow and bizarre events for me so instead of taking on more of it I really have to stick to action movies and I am a "stupid movie" connoisseur - I just love to laugh. Sadly my movie collection looks like that of a 14 year old boy
this was my first movie i had seen without my parents, i was 13 and snuck in the theater with a girl friend. it was a really weird movie, but kind of neat in that wierdness sort of way for a 13 year old. lolclaudicici wrote:
