Abstract subsequent
I wanted to make a brief introduction to rear, but on occasions someone had asked why in this blog there is a section devoted to film. Well, being that the film is considered the seventh art, and being that we here treat of Visual Arts in general, and being that there are films about the life and works of artists, I still felt compelled to include these works in this' section '. For the uninitiated there are different types of films that deal with art. If we use the word 'film' in the sense of the term that is 'film' we have the documentary film, the critofilm, films on the lives of painters, and movies that deal with or relate to this period of art, etc. etc.. But there are also other reasons why I wanted to introduce this angle on the film, much less technical reasons and a lot more personal. There was a time when we went to the movies often, very often, the years when I went there at least once a week if not two, and I sipped the majority voted on everything from the rest of the company, which company time, however, can say he did not particularly taste, so you can imagine ranged from Alien to Shall We Dance?, from Star Wars to About A Boy, by Woody Allen to Dogwille, from Shrek to The Passion ... and so on and so forth, all exclusively dependent only Dall'Ora in which the film was being screened that night and if there were any remaining places. And here we understand why the province of Verona is one of the provinces with the highest revenue in the cinema. I say no more. I personally go to the movies as well, even with the discount that has become vital in these times, I have always broken, and who knows me knows very well. Every so often I even tried to offer some rare film that would appeal to me, but I was still in the minority, and then one time I really did not want to give us just went with my boyfriend of the time, forced inter alia, without the rest of the gang , or know someone who would have appreciated. The films that I saw only two, that is with someone specifically requested in the communion of mean, were just a few, such as 'The Wonderful World of Amelie', 'particles elemenatri' and 'In Memory of Me' to name a few ... Also see 'The Girl with a Pearl Earring' and 'The colors of the soul' were two ... but not in partnership for innovation! Okay anyway. I said, I have seen many, many, in defiance of all milestones spent to make this for me not worth the € 7 (or 4 discounted) ticket if we start from the fact that more and more advertising to bombard me I refuse to see them. Of the most interesting films I have seen the trailer twice, and usually were the ones in the various multiplex were not there, and I had to go out and look at that film and neighborhoods that hold them a week, yes and no. Then when, or when I went to live abroad, my relationship with cinema has changed again. Obviously because there are movies in original language. In early times that I was going and I was, who still live there, when my boyfriend suggested I was always reluctant to go to the movies because my English was not excellent and I thought I should have to concentrate for two hours to translate in real time and effort would have made a beast and I would not have enjoyed the movie and I definitely gave up after 15 minutes with I pretended to be bored for the remaining 1 hour and a half. So how Forward: At home we watched the movie online with subtitles in Italian, but other than that not all of them have had much more of a mess to try to understand English and then read the speed of light in Italian, then later are passed to the English subtitles and I
say that I found myself better. Then we started looking at a serial of those comedians, one in which Ireland is famous and funny Father Ted (he is the right of the group, flanked by the old father consumed by the service and other things less Catholic, shoulder to shoulder with the young inexperienced parent, all under the supervision of the inevitable perpetuates the house), only it was real Irish accent but eventually he understood it with subtitles ... and finally with Father Ted, even if it is not colossal, could enjoy an episode and make me laugh! Auks after all this training when I moved there I felt safe to go and see an entire movie in English at the cinema ... paying! And I must say that indeed it would be better to see them in their original language, when English, if the command is good, certainly if it's in Cantonese close maybe not ... But I must say that the 'Devil Wears Prada' I intend to see it in Italian, only to steal some super stop to Glen Close in all its charm more! At the end of the saga of my difficult relationship with the cinema, I do not know what vipossa interest, I see it as useless to the list of genres that I like it or not, you will understand the various book reviews, though I try to be objective! I just want to say that I prefer movies that have a true story, or at least likely. With regard to the yellow, the horror and science fiction, say that I'm going to try them here, also because usually this is not the film that you can define your art. So that's it. Good reading.
The Girl with a Pearl Earring Today we speak (or rather I want to dwell), 5 years later, or if you want more
than 3 centuries, the Dutch painter Jan Vermeer and his famous painting 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (or 'Girl with a troubled' 1665). In 2003 he was made into a film that tells the story of this portrait, film taken in turn by Ministerial Order Onimo novel by Tracy Chevalier. So, for those who did not clear the process you order: real painter Jan Vermeer existed three centuries ago, the painting r Agazzi, always three centuries ago, the novel Chev Alier, 2003, three centuries of fter, the film that year. I can speak and / or criticize this film for several reasons. There 's been like this: from the fact or that Dutch painters are something absolutely stupeface nte for the mind and eyes, and Vermeer is one of my favorites of all, when I had to take the examination of language and English literature at university, and I saw the list of texts to be chosen that Roma Anzo, catching two birds with one stone I on the framework chosen. After that, since at that time to read a whole book in English was a bit 'too much for my level, I have the cunning as a weasel in Italian industry, so in order to compare the translation and understand it better, quick feedback / callback when it is released in the movie could not lose (ps.: saaaacco but that year I saw a movie that I could lose myself! ... should be). We go to the heart of my criticism. The film was nominated for an Oscar the following year with three categories: best direction, photography and customs. You know qu anti / n which and losers? Not one, no one. And here we wonder who the other candidates can and achieve enza winners. Since the list will go on too long, string saying for those who do not know the candidates for each category 5. Let's start: for best director has The Lord of fully equipped Rings won for best picture has won Master and Commander, and for best costumes ever The Lord of the Rings . ... Moment of reflection ... Here, if you've seen all three films, like me, or just the two winners, I hope you will agree with me that it was a scandal! But .... I say ... but The Lord of the Rings ??!!! But there realize? Movies that I went to see in Bologna (the first) to the Future Film Festival only because my friend possessed of the kind had two free tickets for one euro and that afternoon because I do not really far we have nothing else to do (The second the 'I saw on dvd forced from the rest the company, and the third I jumped walk even). The Lord of the Rings Best Director?? Best Costumes? And best f photographing, Master and Commander?? In my humble opinion of criticism, I'll be old but I say: The Lord of the Rings director, as director? 80% and computer and do not say that it is not true, because the costumes are all invented invented question of time and place, and finally Best Picture Master and Commander ... which photo excuse? With all that fog !!... Eh '! I say that there was a boi cottaggio as usual driven by revenue in the first case, and Russel Crow actor of the moment. The fashion of the moment was the fantasy (like Harry Potter then, that even then I could open a bracket here saying that I think we have reached the point where it allows adults to keep kids with this nasty syndrome Peter Pan and continue reading the cartoons, and children in them if they had instead pitted the most unlikely tales of 10 volumes ciascina as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Narnia in a while ... 'read on the Establishment Speaking of Quintilian in all his 12 books if someone makes a film him then!) the fashion collections, film producing, selling the film, the film wins. But when I say that the girl dall'Orecchino Pearl least one of the best photo or costumes deserve it widely with my eyes closed, and no compromise on this! If you have ever seen, and especially if you already know p rhyme Dutch painting and V ermeer in pa rti
particular, you can not agree or do not remember that Sometimes it seems
like to see a particular context Dutch come alive and moving. (A n c h a simple dare as clean the windows of a fi n ight ! I challenge all the uninitiated Dutch art, and who has not seen the film, to say at first sight of the two wings qu intangible gini you see here is the qu Adro and as the scene of the movie) For me some short scenes, some small details were nothing short of amazing! Several times I remained speechless. The costumes on, and the reconstruction of the interior, the light very important, throughout the study that there was behind the need for fidelity and customs of the century, was not evaluated correctly in my opinion. And there is not computer or invention fantasy. There, it is true sources, development, verification, true style, the real hands of tailors true ... I close the parenthesis closely tied to the film open to one linked to the history attached to the book. I must say that the book is very nice, you really capture the feelings of Griet, poor and ignorant that you've in hardship greater than those of the first after the accident of his father, and finds 'safe' as waiters in about this rich new home of the Vermeer family. Only the characters that live and rotate in that house are not the nicest to species. Starting from the hierarchy of his fellow waiter, to pass from the painter's daughters, daughters that sometimes multiplied, not to mention his wife, mistress of the house, and then he, the master Vermeer, it is bursting with joy and compassion from every pore. I then related characters ... the slimy salesman art the son of the butcher that even though the end was the only one with whom one could have a dialogue, it was still a boy cut too coarsely to one that's not i could not even see the hair. I mention this thing about the uncovering of his hair because, unfortunately, is one of the special c he does very end of the translation into film of the book. Yes, because I had not even mentioned, in spite of the very performance of fotog and raffia costumes and settings etc etc the movie left me very disappointed on this front. Griet first seems just that, words Pavor said, 'scared of being in the world', his constant sighs and fears are very emotional stumps, perhaps it seemed the only way the director to express embarrassment and the rest of the feelings new there and confused that he felt at times, and that in the novel are very well described and engaging, while in the film everything ends in a 'Hh!' (They already say the third 'eh lady! He is calm) ... Then this hair thing, I said, it captures very well in the novel (and I'm not here to tell you, I'll go read because it really deserves!) Actually mean what he wanted at that time for a young girl. As the scene towards the end where she shot from above, passes the star of the winds at Mosaic in a street that ran forever, the narrative does absolutely mention what that would mean passing within her. As well as finding the tile route, the situation which gave me freedom of enterprise switching while reading it on video I think few people have really taken the pain of the ntimo Grie t . Latest but not to u ltima for disappointment, the scene of q hen receives the earrings. Maximum for this disappointment, I
sorry to say. In short this is what ... I conclude by saying that when the lights are lit on my raga ZZO time, forced me to come by and see this film, says: "Well, the story is virtually nothing!" I looked at him disappointed but immediately I understand that But for those who like him had / have familiar ity with the Dutch art, or do not have read the book, I think this is the result of mass ... Not can be fascinating or you DERE a picture come to life and move if you do not know, and you can not empathize with the protagonist just because sometimes you scare ... Too bad, really.
