The movie " The lust for life" is an autobiographic film of the great artist Vincent Van Gogh. The movie shows that how talented and how creative he was. How his idea of painting was very different from other artists at that time and how he was misunderstood by the world. His best friend Gauguin (an artist) and a brother who supported him from the time Van Gogh left Holland to the time of his death were the people whom Van Gogh had a close personal relationship. Even those closest to him misunderstood his work and his expression of art.The movie also showed the close relation between him and Gauguin. How they used to argue about art and how it is supposed to be expressed. Those disagreements led to a huge fight between the two and to the break down of Van Gogh. In general, the movie reflects how a soul tortured , talented, misunderstood great artist lived, how his passion for art controlled him and finally destroyed him.
my reaction to the movie........
It was a sad movie really. I tried to imagine how he felt. Neglected and going no where with his work,
It is actually torturing.The life he lived would drive any man crazy. He lived such a difficult life. However, i would say his love for his work reflects even after all this years. It is just he lived at the wrong time.
