Film Review: Loving Vincent 

Loving Vincent shows us that we don't need to stick our faces in a screen, but rather we can live in art, breathe it, ponder it, love it. This picture has made me, and I'm sure many other film snobs, realize how many artistic forms cinema truly has. Film does not have to be all alike, it doesn't have to have a single look or structure, in this case it has two art forms: film and paint. Both in which have their own ways of storytelling and yet this film combined them into one. What's so beautiful about this picture is that it shows the film industry that this doesn't have to be the only one and there doesn't have to be only one way in creating a story, film, or anything else of the like. With the technology we carry today, creating film has become unstoppable, we can create virtually anything we'd like, so why don't we? This goes to show that we are holding back, sticking with the usual, when we should be using everything we have to the fullest. 

This film raises appreciation for the arts to those who may have never been interested otherwise. We have the ability to reach unlikely audiences through this form of entertainment. We can mix so many unique elements together to create something special and worth rising up from our devices for. As mentioned earlier, this combination of painted art and film gives us something both new and old as it takes today's technology in film and covers it in oil paint to envelop its viewers in a life colored in pure artistry. As we drown in social media and brain rotting pastimes, we tend to lack knowledge and experience in what matters. We need to find ways, like this, to create more opportunities for art and culture to be known and give worthwhile entertainment to those that don't have the attention span to ponder a miraculous art piece on their own.
