Why?
This is one of the many movies that has been recommended to me by my mother. It was high time I watched a movie anyway.
What in the world?
A man puts his soul in a painting on accident and never ages kind of. I mean physically he doesn't age, I don't know about mentally though. I think he ages mentally.
Personal thoughts
This movie was interesting. I liked how the painting was the only thing that would be in color. I thought that everything was kind of weird with the man and I mean he was supposed to be weird. I think that the man was supposed to be weird like that. He was very sullen and boring. There was a strange part near the beginning where he meets his love interest where there are puppets playing what appears to be a marimba with their feet. I think that just stuck out to me so much because it was weird and they kind of just glossed over it. That was probably the most interesting thing in the movie. I also thought that his last interest was just played by the same lady as the first one, but they are actually different people. It was just kind of hard to tell people apart in the movie. Maybe that's just because it was in black and white.
Score
I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10. It was pretty good, but I just couldn't retain that much attention. I thought that his covering up of murder was pretty funny. He was so subtle about killing a guy in his attic. No one really cared about that guy, but I cared about that guy. He didn't deserve to die just for seeing a painting. I mean some of the servants he had hired saw the painting and they got to live. What was the point of killing the one guy. Sad days, sad days.
Watch what you love,
