Death and the Maiden
Because of the picture above, I went to see this movie. The painting "Death and the Maiden" is twisted, and the arms of the characters are as slender as insects. Death embraces the maiden, but they are about to separate from each other. The colors of the original are more intense, and the impact of emotion and texture seems to grab your soul.
Then he was impressed by the male protagonist's appearance, because he was better looking than all the women in the film!
This pair of Kazilan's big eyes can be described as fluttering spirits.
Okay, let's get back to business (cough cough!) ）
This biographical film is based on the Austrian painter Egon Schiller, and the filming is not salty or light, but the camera is beautiful, the picture is beautiful, and the people are beautiful (cough cough!). ）
Schiller, as a person, has been obsessed with art since childhood, and is debauched. At the age of 16, he became the youngest student at the Vienna Academy of Arts, but he felt that the teachers of the academy were too old-fashioned and no one could direct his art.
He then teamed up with his fox friends (friends who left the academy together) to form a new art organization.
What an arrogant boy!
This is going to be put in the Chinese family without slapping him twice, and then yelling at him: "Hurry up and get me back to study!" "
Hitler must also be cue here, when Schiller was admitted to the Vienna Academy of Arts, Hitler also went, but both times he was named Sun Shan, and finally had to go to a public school.
One became the youngest student in the college, and the other was bullied in a public school, leaving a shadow of life and revenge on society.
Back to the point! Back to the point! (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ）
After the establishment of the Art Nouveau Organization, this group of artistic youth began their journey of painting, enjoying life in painting and painting while enjoying life.
Since painting requires models, there are many nude models in this film, which has become a common thing for foreign films, let alone in a biographical film with mainly artistic themes.
Moreover, this protagonist was still labeled as a variety of private life chaos at that time, and even falsely accused of molesting a young girl. We'll get back to that later.
As Schiller and the female model got closer and closer, this made our little cute Gerty feel snubbed, and quietly wrote to his uncle to say hello and attach everyone's names.
This made Schiller's uncle feel disrespected because he didn't think he was obligated to pay for the living expenses of models he didn't know. As a result, custody of Schiller's siblings was revoked, and Schiller became Gertie's guardian.
The scenery and cinematography in this film are beautiful, and they are no less than some of the pastoral films in France.
Schiller moved to the house in the upper picture for his own creation, and because of the loss of family support, Schiller lived on a tight budget and could only earn money by selling some paintings, but his paintings at that time were not recognized by the mainstream art world, and people could not understand his distorted, perverted and even erotic paintings.
But the young artist still said to his idol.
It was amazing!
I also want to care about money!
Everyone wants to care about money!
In fact, the reason why Schiller said this is that he is an artist, and for money, he cares more about art. Second, it is because he has passed the material level.
You don't look at him now poor, ask a model to take the risk of asking a little girl who doesn't spend money, in fact, his family life was very rich when he was a child. His father was a railway station manager and had a large amount of assets and stocks in the family.
However, one day, his father had a syphilis attack, burned all the stocks and assets in the family, and then committed suicide.
In fact, the shadow of his father has always stayed in his memory, he will dance and dance to think of his crazy father before suicide, and he will have a headache because of the thought of him.
This also makes people wonder whether the distorted lines and vicious human faces in his paintings are due to the lack and pain of childhood.
In the middle of the film, Schiller's muse finally appears.
She was originally a model for Shiller's idol, Klimt, but since Schiller always drew little girls, the stakes were too high, so Klim introduced Willie to him.
Willie comes from the country, with a rough innocence, she is a person who knows Schiller, and in the years with Schiller, she is not only his model and partner, but also for him to do some paintings for sale.
Schiller's paintings are mostly twisted body, with a withered breath of color. But he painted a portrait of Willie, and in order to match it, he also painted a portrait of himself.
This is probably the hardcore couple avatar ever!
It could also be the most expensive couple avatar!
The two paintings now hang in the Leopold Museum, and no one can touch them. They stared at each other and could no longer be separated.
Do you think that's the end of the story? Are the prince and princess living happily together?
no!no!no!
Remember, Schiller is not a prince, and Willie is not a princess.
One thing that happened in 1912 was the previously mentioned case of Schiller's molestation of a young girl. Because Schiller painted a lot of nude paintings, because his life was too public, which caused dissatisfaction among the locals, he received a subpoena from the court.
Schiller was convicted of molesting a young girl.
The victim in people's mouths is the little girl pictured above, and you look at her eyes with bad intentions (just the role, not rising to the personal ha)
Schiller this kid is also, you have Willie this model, why do you have to paint other people's little girls? The result was plotted!
But the ending is not terrible, the court found that this case is a false accusation, Schiller is not guilty! But the paintings he painted were all destroyed, which was an unacceptable thing for an artist, so Schiller shouted in court.
But it didn't work, and the judge burned the paintings in front of him because he painted these so-called pornographic pictures and was sentenced to three days in prison.
Disheartened, Schiller and Willie left the cottage in Cesky Krumlov to the small town of Nurembach, west of Vienna, where they rented a studio.
But our handsome Schiller can attract peach blossoms even if he is poor!
Across from his rented studio lives a middle-class family with a pair of sisters who have fallen in love with Schiller.
But who is Schiller?
He's an artist! The sister among the sisters wanted to be his model, and he replied:
What a man who turns his face faster than he can turn a book! Didn't you say you didn't care about money before?
In fact, this is also understood, he does not like this woman, money and goods are the best.
One person can live on a shoestring, but now that Willie is by his side, the cost of the two is very large, which is a very real problem.
Artists also have to face reality.
Willie knew what kind of person Schiller was, and she was convinced that the person he loved most was her, so she wasn't jealous when Schiller and the two sisters looked at each other, because no one could take Schiller away from her.
She is Schiller's right-hand man, she is Schiller's muse, the Bergassos with the headband of a fig leaf in his paintings.
But she was wrong, and the happy days were always short-lived. It was true that no one had taken Schiller from her side, and what had taken Schiller was war.
(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Schiller didn't take his life! He's just going to be a soldier!
Although he was an artist, the war situation was urgent at that time, and he had no choice but to enlist in the army. But once he enlisted, it showed that there were no models, no environment for him to paint, because he was a man who would si if he didn't paint (that's what he said).
In order to paint, he decided to marry His sister Edith, one of the two sisters, because she had money in her family and could afford to pay rent and life even without working, and only by becoming a wife would Edith follow him, and he could make her willingly become his model.
So he abandoned Willie because He didn't have enough material conditions to follow his military painting life.
Seeing this, Xiao He feels that Schiller is really a zha man, and he hurts the feelings of others in the name of art (although he is indeed talented).
He was a selfish man who was only tolerant of his art.
On the eve of their parting, he embraced Willie. This action is the prototype of the painting "Death and the Maiden". But at that time, the name of the painting was "Man and Girl".
The man and woman in the painting hug each other but are about to separate, depicting him and Willie.
This damn affection!
This damn scumbag!
But if there is no distinction, it is impossible to achieve a great painting. Behind every touching work, there is more or less an unspeakable story.
The painting itself is untouchable, and it is only because of the story behind it that it touches people's hearts.
They had loved each other, but Schiller loved his art even more.
Later, after the end of the war, people seemed to understand the twisted movements and sickly expressions in Schiller's paintings. Schiller thus became a well-known artist.
However, in the first exhibition of "Man and Girl", Schiller learns of Willie's death.
It turned out that after Schiller left, the grief-stricken Willie went to work as a field nurse and longed to meet Schiller every day. What she did not know, however, was that because the officer admired Schiller's artistic talent, he was not allowed to go to the front, but sent him an idle post in charge of the granary, which also gave him plenty of time to paint.
Creation once again got the man, and Willie died of Scarlet Fever in the war.
In honor of Willie, Schiller changed "Man and Girl" to "Death and Girl". The painting was originally for Willie, but on the day of the first exhibition, he was informed of her death.
He is Willie's Grim Reaper.
But in the end, he abandoned Willie.
At the end of 1918, the Spanish flu swept across Europe, killing more than 5 million people. Schiller's wife, Aidis, could not escape this fate even though she was pregnant with Liujia.
Three days later, Schiller also died of the flu at the age of 28.
In his nightmares before his death, he still called Willie's name. He had passed through so many women in his life, and perhaps his favorite was Willie.
