Every frame is a painting...

I have now seen this movie 5 times and I will bet that I will see it five more. This movie for me was a validation of a life time of conviction about the state of modern art and how it has consistently supressed the simple idea that nature and beauty still do matter.
I have gone to art school and I have seen how modern art schools can be so destructive in the nurturing of classicaly minded artists. And at the end of the day we wonder where the hell is art going.
For me this movie rekindled my love and passion for painting and ultimately reminded me of all those wonderful teachers who selflessly gave and encouraged me not to stop my journey. There is so much in John Talia's character that I related to, and I am sure a great deal more to Armin's.
Every frame in the movie for me looked like it was composed by an artist, only later to find out that it was. Anyone who admires the art of the great American Pennsylvania and dutch movement, will take away so much from this movie. You can see the influence of Andrew Wyeth and the Brandywine school on the direcotr. I was very moved by the entire experience.
