In Reply to: ...dull, awkwardly written biopics about fantastically over-rated megalomaniacs? posted by rhizomatic on October 15, 2003 at 08:08:36:
I worked on this film, so I saw it over and over. Ech viewing got more tedious than the first one had been. I frankly never thought it would see the inside of a movie theater. I expected permanent shelving or direct to video. I have always liked Ed Harris' acting. I'm waiting to see good directing from him.I can't fathom why anyone would even want to make a film about an untalented drunk.

Follow Ups:
You know, the movie never explained why his splattered paint was considered art? Because Peggy Guggenheim thought so? That's part of the reason I went to see it. His work is like 20th Century composers--lost on me.
When I see a real artist that has proven ability to accuratly portray people or landscape or fruit bowls start to push the envelope into expressionism, cubism or what have you I'm willing to consider it art, I may not like it but if the man is an artist (or musician) I'm willing to consider it art. Examples of that would be Van Gogh and Picasso. Pollack AFAIK never could paint, didn't push any envelopes, and was a mean untalented drunk.The fact that Guggenheim or anyone else decided to declare "he is an artist" doesn't make it so, for me.
