It's 2019, Alpha Dog has beaten the Go genius, van Go's starry sky can also use VR technology to see the beauty,
The advent of artificial intelligence has made countless people say that anti-heaven technology will bring doomsday disasters.
Such a lofty propositional discussion, as the shadow sir of the melon-eating masses can only mean: it is true that it is true that it is not against heaven that it has touched the nerve endings of some people.
After all, throughout the history of human development, we will find that art has been evolving with the development of science and technology.
Nowadays, as material life becomes more and more differentiated, many sensitive people have issued sighs about the current state of art.
People's pursuit of art is often very blind, why do you say so?
Because in addition to the artist's own talent and creative ability, the gimmicks and publicity methods in the later period largely determine the popularity of the work.
I still remember that three years ago, the film "Outstanding Citizen" made a stunning debut at the Venice Film Festival, which amazed countless fans.
The water of this film is very deep, and the director uses wonderful reversal techniques and absurd dramatic presentations, immersing us in the reflection of not knowing who is playing with whom,
It also makes us realize that the focus of a large part of people today has never been on literature itself and on writers.
On the contrary, like those who are related to the writer in the film, what they really care about is what the fame and fortune in that person can bring to them.
The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all are for profit.
But there will always be a voice for injustice in the world, and the director of "Outstanding Citizen", Gaston Du palat, re-created a new work -
《Exiled Great Painter》
my masterpiece
The last one was written literature, and this one is a solid art,
It is still a satire of the artistic status quo in the guise of comedy, with conflict points and is also very realistic.
In the same way, great works usually come from societies where injustice and violence prevail.
The same applies to the film recommended today, which takes place in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
The city is chaotic, cruel, contradictory, and more importantly unpredictable, and the people in the city are full of vanity and madness,
And this bipolar evaluation is the most attractive thing about this city.
It is said that one side of the water and soil nurtures one person, so today the film sir will sort out this film for everyone according to the characteristics of the city.
City characteristic one: chaos
Unlike the accomplished protagonist of "Outstanding Citizen", the protagonist this time is an arrogant and down-and-out painter.
Renzo, a stubborn, cynical, weird old man.
When he was young, he was not a rich and handsome sir, but as far as voiceover is concerned, his paintings were very popular when he was young, and being sought after = fame + Nichijin Doujin.
And now? Just describing his life as chaotic is really a little too gentle! It's a mess!
First of all, he has not sold a painting for more than a decade,
Second, you look at what kind of life he is living: he owes the landlord eight months' rent, rents a kennel-like house, and lives a poor life.
The word "arrogant and proud" has never been a decoration here in Renzo, he is angry, but his temper is even greater,
The arrogance and irrationality of an artist are brought to the extreme.
There were young girls who followed him to learn to draw, and he did not preach and teach karma to solve problems, and took advantage of others.
A young man with a sense of justice, Alex, came from afar to ask for advice, hoping to worship him as a teacher.
What did he do?
It is estimated that it is too boring, changing the law to bully others, and playing with others as coolies (this assessment method is poor sir is a mortal who really can't understand)
Even so, when the people finished working as a coolie, he waved his hand and said, "You are not suitable for art", and unilaterally increased the tuition fee from five hundred to two thousand five.
The last piece of advice is: "A successful artist must be ambitious, selfish, and do art because he can't do anything else, which is a kind of disability."
Well said, after all, the following things seem to be really not something that normal people can do.
He went to the restaurant for a bully meal, and the reason for not giving money was that he had been dedicated to the society for fifty years as an artist, and said that his arrival had raised the restaurant's grade.
Even if he didn't give money, he justifiably asked the waiter to give him another cup of their delicious brandy.
OMG's, more than chaos, shadow sir feels that they are about to make people deranged.
What is even more ridiculous is that such a brazen, almost inhuman primitive man has a close friend who cannot be abandoned--Arturo, a sleek and secular gallery owner.
Urban characteristics two: contradictions
The contradiction between Renzo's portrait style and social trends, the contradiction between reality and friendship between Arturo and Renzo.
While Renzo was still very young, Arturo served as his agent.
The two made a lot of money working together in Renzo's heyday in the 1980s, but with the change of trends, coupled with Renzo's reclusive and arrogant personality, the price of his paintings has been degraded again and again.
But Arturo never gave up on Renzo.
Because in the early years, Renzo did not choose to climb another branch after becoming famous, Arturo has always remembered this love.
However, people can't stop it if they want to die, and Renzo is simply what we now call pit goods, or the most unreliable one.
Arturo won Renzo the opportunity for an entrepreneur to customize a painting, a piece of art to decorate the company's façade.
But the result?
On the day of the transaction, when Arturo affectionately introduced the paintings.
Facing such an embarrassing scene -
Renzo, who hated the vampire capitalists, secretly added insulting motifs to his paintings.
At this point, the two broke up, and Arturo left in anger, but even if Renzo returned to anger him to vomit blood, Arturo always wanted to pull a friend.
City characteristic three: cruelty
The cruelty of life, the cruelty of unscrupulousness in trying to live.
After Renzo and Arturo broke up, Renzo was thrown out of his house and left the streets when his rent was due.
Even more sudden misfortune - a car accident into the hospital, nine deaths to retrieve a life, but tragically lost memory.
From the mouth of Arturo who came to hear about his own life, the first half of his life was brilliant, the second half of his life was depressed, and this evening was compared, and he did not feel sorrow coming from it,
Coupled with the schoolgirl's falling stone, verbal attacks, unconsciously even worse, hope has passed, leaving only the walking dead.
But director Gaston Du Palat will never let you watch the film steadily, and the reversal comes - after Renzo's accident, Arturo first asked Renzo to sign a few documents, and when he died, the work would appreciate.
The artist only pays value after he dies.
Do you think this is a story of betraying friendship and making a fortune?
Oh, death is nothing more than a crazy and extreme conspiracy, and the film satirizes the status quo that does not have enough respect for the art world and intellectuals.
Otherwise, where does the unwritten consensus that "an artist is valuable only after he dies" come from?
The scam of the fraudulent death causes the celebrities and nobles to compete for Renzo's works, but the upright boy mentioned above exposes them,
As a result, the people of the city felt that it was an outstanding performance art, and Renzo's fame was further improved.
So is the art itself appreciated by the public, or how is it more eye-catching?
In the end, the two people who have gained fame and fortune live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and the other continues to pursue the life they want.
There is no victory of good over evil, but they are all members of the mediocre crowd, playing with the tricks and calculations of small people.
All sentient beings, everyone wants to be unique and stubborn to the end,
I only wish not to be blinded by the glitz of the world, and to succumb to the obscenity of life.
