willem dafoe could literally slice his own ear off and the academy still would give best actor to a british actor that spent 10 hours in prosthetics to scream as a famous politician

At Eternity’s Gate is the ultimate tribute to art. It’s use of visuals, sound, and writing all culminate into something as beautiful and complex as a Van Gogh painting. It had my attention from beginning to end, there was not a thing I didn’t enjoy or appreciate about it, and there were multiple scenes and lines that hit me directly in the heart. I can see this being a hit or miss for a lot of people but when it hits...it is absolutely amazing.

Ain’t no party like a Julian Schnabel subjective camera party cause a Julian Schnabel subjective camera party will put you inside the mind and soul of another human being and leave you rocked by life’s simultaneous visual splendor and pitiless cruelty all night long.

Van Gogh: I love nature
Gauguin: How Can Nature Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real?
Van Gogh: man shut the fuck up and let me love monet in peace -

“painted reality is it’s own reality”
i can appreciate what this is going for, but i don’t vibe with it at all. if i was to compare them, loving vincent was a lot more for me, but i can say that willem dafoe was born to play van gogh. he didn’t let us down

what can i say, i’m a slut for watching artists frolick through meadows while they leisurely paint all day and have philosophical discussions about the meaning of art and life (even more so when they’re played by willem dafoe and oscar issac)

Five runner-ups for my least favourite aesthetic decisions in this film (no order):
1) Shooting a shot like a POV handheld, but then having the person in frame look off camera to talk, and then doing the opposite
2) Bottom of frame blur-o-vision applied arbitrarily
3) Going black and white for literally two shots
4) Going piss-filter for any number of shots
5) Repeating audio we've heard like twenty seconds ago... all of which pale in offensiveness to the drunken stumbly handheld camera.
What pisses me off double is:
a) Schnabel's playing a confidence game. Other people call Van Gogh's paintings obviously ugly, thus implying that if we find his film ugly that we're just boorish and can't see… -
