路易斯·韦恩(LouisWain1860~1939),英国插画画家,以画拟人的猫之形象著名。他晚年患上精神分裂症,后人分析其病症可能和常见于猫身上的寄生虫弓形虫有关。韦恩是家中的长子,下面有5个妹妹。他天生兔唇,后来入读西伦敦艺术学校,成为自由画家。他最初画的多是漂亮的田园景色。所以电影在他人生的重要起始和临终用了他的田园画作为背景。
路易斯·韦恩留下的作品很多,是欧美收藏市场的抢手货。
片尾还有一段“万花筒猫”让我想起上世纪九+年代初的模拟软件,暑假时我推荐给丝绸印染厂沒被采纳,太超前了。
这些画作如此成功,猫咪神态万千各异我想这来源于韦恩那成人的天真,是的,和孩子的天真不同,丰富多彩且质感十足,甘泉不及其明澈纯美。卷福算是天才艺术家扮演专业户,把那份天真表现得很本色。
最后,致敬韦恩!感谢你留给我们的美好!
刚开始虽然完全没明白他在说什么,或许是有被本尼演技感染到,感动得一塌糊涂(本来是冲着吸猫来的,猝不及防被艺术家的浪漫感动到,我的未来一直有你,即使你已不在这个世界555…)
很简单的感情戏,外人的嘲笑,家人的反对,在两个同样不在乎世俗眼光的人面前根本不构成任何阻挠,只可惜命运爱开玩笑,给了两人一段甜蜜短暂的婚姻生活,又让死亡将其分离。
点题了哈哈,不用去做复杂的解读,就像韦恩简简单单的一生……
2022新年的第一天,我看了這部電影,第一次看本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇的表演,他是當之無愧的好演員,只是片中部分情節似有意讓人感傷。這部傳記片展現了韋恩與妻子深情的愛與理解以及他創作貓世界的激情。他的作品破天荒地連結了貓與人的世界,從此在歐洲貓不再被人視為不祥之物而進入了千家萬戶。
韋恩與妻子的一段對話:
Louis: I don’t know why it is that I find it so very difficult, just being here on this earth, but… I can say with absolute certainty that you have made it much, much better. You make the world beautiful, and warm and kind. I just wanted to say thank you for that before it’s too late.
Emily: I don’t make the world beautiful, Louis. The world is beautiful. And you’ve helped me to see that too. Just to remember… however hard things get… however much you feel like you’re struggling… the world is full of beauty. And it’s up to you to capture it, Louis. To look. And to share it with as many people as you can. You are a prism. Through which that beam of life refracts.
韋恩與朋友的一段對話:
Louis: I have failed her, Mr. Rider.
Rider: I don’t think you have failed, Mr. Wain…from what you have been saying. Why do you think Emily wanted you to keep painting pictures, Mr. Wain?
Louis: To help people. To show them.
Rider: Perhaps. And there’s no doubt that you’ve done that. But I have a rather different theory. I think she wanted you to keep painting so you would not be alone. When you paint, Mr. Wain, you connect with other people and you give them a piece of yourself, but… they are also connecting with you. And that electricity that you describe… that you felt in the presence of Emily, I’d call that love, Mr. Wain. And that is still here.
“I don’t know why it is that I find it so very difficult just being here on earth, but … I can say with absolute certainty that you made it much much better. You make the world beautiful and warm and kind. I just wanted to say thank you before it’s too late.”
“I don’t make the world beautiful, Louis. The world is beautiful, and you helped me to see that too. Just remember, however hard things get, however much you feel like you’re struggling, the world is full of beauty. And it’s up to you to capture it, Louis. To look. And to share it with as many people as you can. You are a prism. Through which that beam of life refracts. ”
