Optional: Artist Project 2: Movie

Caravaggio the Soul and Blood 2018

The movie I chose is called Caravaggio the Soul and Blood 2018, which is about the Caravaggio artist's life-long artistic creation. Although I am not very interested in this kind of movie, I still insist on watching it. Through understanding, Caravaggio is an artistic genius and constantly innovates in Italy. He had a great influence on 17th-century painters and brought his paintings abroad. In the movie are the real places, paintings, and experiences of the author. Through the film, I saw the production process of many works of this artist. Although I don't know much about these arts, through this film, I really feel the content of his paintings. What surprises me most about this movie is that there are so many details in the work that I can see the painting clearly. On the other hand, the actors' expressions changed a lot, which made me feel the real situation at that time. I also know that his art career is not so easy. His artistic path keeps pain and suffering, such as his freedom of creation, his struggle, the oppression of his patrons, etc... Even in order to evade the law, he left home many times. I admire his courage and passion for creating art, which is worth learning.
