Schopenhauer said: Either vulgar or lonely.

1890 In Orville, France, the talented painter Van Gogh walked into the wheat field, ending his 37-year lonely life.

He created a legend, which was worthless before his death. After his death, every painting was worth more than10 million dollars. People have been asking 100 years. Why did he choose death?

Everyone wants to know how he died. Does anyone care how he lives?

Beloved Van Gogh, a film composed of 65,000 oil paintings by 125 artists, explained itself with Van Gogh's oil paintings in seven years, restoring the life experienced by the post-impressionist master Van Gogh.

On the basis of sharing the film, Miao Ge will supplement Van Gogh's paintings in different periods and the missing dry goods, so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of the extraordinary inner world of this genius.

(Old postman)

The film reveals Van Gogh's dusty past with an unopened letter before his death. The old postman asked his son to send the letter to Theo (Van Gogh's brother). The son thinks it is meaningless for a dead man to write a letter. In his mind, Van Gogh was a loser.

When Van Gogh/KLOC-0 moved from Paris to the town of arles in Provence in 888, the old postman often helped him deliver letters here.

Arles's blue sky, blazing sunshine, flowers and wheat fields, these bright colors scattered in nature, let Van Gogh's inspiration and talent be fully released. He finally found his original painting style and entered the most vigorous creative stage in his life.

Enthusiastic Van Gogh invited his gay friend Gauguin to live in his yellow house and came to arles to raise money for the Olympic Games.

However, this is totally different from gay friends's idea of painting. They quarreled and then broke up. Sad, lonely and unable to restrain his violence, Van Gogh cut off his ear with a razor. The screams attracted the old postman and armand who passed by and witnessed the tragic scene.

Van Gogh, who lives in loneliness and indifference, is arles's masterpiece.

1888 The picture of Starry Night on the Rhone comes from the movie.

Van Gogh once described the painting process like this: "Finally, I drew this starry sky under the gas lamp. Under the blue-green sky background, Ursa Major emits green and pink light, and the pale and dim light is in sharp contrast with the dazzling light. There is a pair of lovers in the foreground. "

1888 Night Cafe

There used to be a cafe in Lamartin Square near Van Gogh's yellow house. Van Gogh painted the night here.

Van Gogh wrote that "night cafes are open all night, and people who have no money to stay or are too drunk can stay here for one night." For people like us, all these, family and hometown, may be more attractive in fantasy than in reality. In reality, we have a good life without family and hometown. I always feel like a traveler, going somewhere and heading for a destination. "

Because of the shocking ear-cutting incident, Van Gogh became a madman in the eyes of small town people. They targeted and expelled him everywhere, forcing the fragile Van Gogh into a mental hospital.

1889 starry night

Starry Night was written by Van Gogh during his treatment in St Remy's Psychiatric Hospital. In the picture, the stars burn in the sky like a whirlpool, the silent village is close to the mountains, and a red cypress stands alone. At this time, Van Gogh was in a psychedelic state, deeply disturbed and agitated.

This is Van Gogh's most special work. Why did he see the starry sky completely different from ours?

Because he is a lonely patient;

The starry sky in Van Gogh's eyes is the same as the starry sky after time-lapse photography. Van Gogh's mental problems are extremely serious. He has gone crazy.

As the old postman told his son armand, the townspeople signed an "expulsion order" together, which destroyed the genius and his spirit, otherwise he would not choose to commit suicide.

Armand, repeatedly urged by his father, embarked on the journey of delivering letters.

When armand came to Paris, he met the local pigment dealer "Father Donji" and learned the news of Theo's death.

Father Tangi witnessed Van Gogh's pursuit of art in Paris. He was experienced and thought that Van Gogh was a genius and would succeed sooner or later, but he didn't insist and chose to commit suicide. Express great shock and regret.

Van Gogh in Paris is a young painter with extraordinary creativity and passion. He was fascinated by the colors of Impressionism and made friends with artists such as pissarro, Gauguin and Cezanne. But in Paris, where artists are everywhere, no one appreciates his paintings and is ruthlessly left out. So he chose to go to arles to paint quietly, but he didn't expect his ears to be cut off.

Under the guidance of Don Quixote, armand went to Orville village in the north of Paris (where Van Gogh died) to look for Dr. Gachet who had treated Van Gogh, hoping to get news of Theo's widow and send this letter.

This stage was after Van Gogh was discharged from the mental hospital-1890. In the spring, he moved to Orville and stayed in the warm Raoul Inn.

In February, Van Gogh created apricot flowers as a gift for his newborn nephew. The apricot flowers in the painting are full of fresh vitality under the blue sky.

In his letter to his younger brother, Van Gogh wrote: "I will draw a picture for you in your bedroom at once. There are several branches of apricot trees in the picture with the blue sky in the background." In his letter, he mentioned that he hoped his little nephew would have a peaceful soul and didn't want him to suffer the double destruction of spirit and material like himself. Van Gogh finally told his younger brother in his letter, "If there is nothing infinite, profound and real in life, I will no longer be attached to this world ..."

At this time, Van Gogh's life entered a worse state. He was not inexplicably manic, but calmly endured all this.

Van Gogh's friend Dr. Gachet in Orville invited him to paint as a guest. She also created "The Girl Playing the Piano" for the doctor's daughter Margaret, which has been kept in her bedroom. She has lived in her father's manor and never got married.

1890? Vincent Willem van Gogh

Van Gogh liked painting in the wheat field very much, and the famous Crow in the Wheat Field was considered as the last work of Van Gogh before his death.

Van Gogh went to Paris to visit his brother's family in May. Looking at the little life in his arms, he had mixed feelings and shed tears. He felt that his poverty and poverty dragged down the family, and his fear and guilt for his brother swallowed him up.

On July 27th, Van Gogh, whose enthusiasm burned out, shot himself in the wheat field. He staggered back to the Raoul Hotel and saw Van Gogh covered in blood. Adeline of Raoul Hotel panicked.

Theo received a telegram from Dr. gachet and came from Paris to see his brother for the last time. Van Gogh was still talking about life at the last minute, not death. Van Gogh said: I am like an untouchable, but I want to tell the world that I am an untouchable with treasures and a bright heart.

He hopes that people who see his works can say that he thinks deeply about things and thinks softly.

The grief-stricken Theo couldn't accept the fact that his favorite brother had left. Six months later, he also died.

Armand arrived in Orville, the last town where Van Gogh stayed. While waiting for Dr. Gachet, he met a man who had an intersection with Van Gogh. Through their different descriptions of Van Gogh, armand finally realized the misery and loneliness of a genius and the misfortune of being shut out of the world.

Armand finally entrusted this letter to Dr. Gacher. On the journey of delivering letters, the trivial comments and memories of onlookers clearly outlined in his mind: Van Gogh's tragic life. He no longer thinks that Van Gogh is a weak man defeated by life. He remembers what the old postman's father said: No matter how strong you are, you will be defeated by life.

Whether it is movies or letters and paintings left by Van Gogh, this is only a part of his life. So what is his complete life like? It hurts to think about it.

It is hard for people to imagine that this person who was abandoned by the world, suffered mental torture and suffered loneliness. His paintings are bright and warm, exuberant vitality and passion. It is he who is still good at and enthusiastic about this world in the struggle of contradictions and low destiny, which deeply shocked everyone.

As Van Gogh said in a letter:

When I draw an apple tree, I hope people can feel that the juice in the apple has spread the apple skin and the seeds in the core are trying to bear fruit.

It is such a person who is full of longing for the future and has extreme love and fanatical pursuit of life. People always refuse to accept him and give him a little tolerance and warmth.

He created 2000 paintings in his life, but only sold one before his death. He was lonely, so he painted a vast starry sky in his heart.

He is also very enthusiastic, and there is a fire in his heart, but passers-by only see smoke.

This world simply doesn't deserve such a beautiful and noble soul.

Past, present and future.

There are always some lonely souls in this world. They are stuck in the mire, but they always look up at the stars.

We don't need to understand them, just give them equal respect.
