There’s a movie out recently, Love Van Gogh.

I have heard so much about Van Gogh’s life that I wonder how the director intends to explain it.

After seeing 65, 000 paintings in 95 minutes, Ben got a bit carsick.

A documentary? Art appreciation films? All is not! The director turned out to be a mystery.

I think the title should be The Death of Van Gogh.

The film follows van Gogh’s last letter to his brother Theo, tracing the last two months of his life.

I really thought for a while that Van Gogh might have been killed by a homicide.

In the end, of course, the film obeys history.

This suspenseful approach is very popular these days.

When I got home, I watched the documentary five times (starting with THE BBC’s Van Gogh: Life in Painting). It’s Benedict, Sherlock!! .

He read hundreds of letters and even looked at hundreds of Van Gogh paintings, trying to identify the people in his life.

Those sunflowers and stars that I could not understand before also seem to understand some.

Of course, I was so interested in studying an artist’s life, I even went to the Internet to find out about his love life.

It is because some people predict that in the end of the era of artificial intelligence, only artists may be left.

All artists, isn’t it a Renaissance?

However, this painting “genius”, who was given the title of “crazy”, seems to have lived quite a “regular” life.

A normal family – both parents, not the only child, there must be love and hate between brothers.

The usual job search path — study, graduate, get a job. Unemployed, looking for another job.

Finally, I was lucky enough to find a career I love. At the time, he was in his 30s.

A few common love history, abuse vulgar to fall in love with widow Cousins, but can not ask.

Tired of boring love, I go on a hookup.

The only thing special is, he cut off his ear and gave it to his booty call.

A not uncommon life ending — suicide.

The reason is nothing more than the parents’ disapproval, poverty, frustration, irritable personality under a variety of factors, and finally can not get along with their own harmony, choose the dog belt.

Van Gogh’s life, in fact, is very ordinary.

Being an artist doesn’t seem much different from other professions.

That’s a relief. It should be too late to change careers.
