Rothko is not a colorist..Don’t dare look at his work and talk about the pretty colors..rather his work was a work of abstract expression it was an experience.I don’t think the painting was a reflecting of an experience but rather something one experienced.
Rothko wanted to paint as he said “the tradegy, doom and….” i can’t remember what else. but when you look at this look within the vertically aligned rectangular forms and gather the tradgey that Rothko lived during his childhood. Now I may be taking jumps and believe me I am fucking failing my art history class. In fact my art professor asks me if I write my paper on drugs but I say look at these paintings and identify with what its evoking. The process of painting was more the act of expressionsim I think this was an emotional expreienced. You can feel his strict orthodox upringing perhaps in the clean structure. For its when his mother died that he became so ridgid, his work changed from the more violent arachaic to the two-three rectangular classical period of form he is known for. ahh no more.

If you must see the movie then see the movie, but its not comparable to the award winning play. Some of the actors are however in the original and they are able to have their beatiful voices transfored onto the movie set. HOwever some of the actors like Taye Diggs ruin Rent! completely. In the begining its obvious that he’s lip sinking when they were shooting this and that he was completely unaware of the words, his mouth moves and such absurd ways that reading his lips is impossible. Though I really didn’t put much effort into researching this movie, I know that it was quite frustrating i hear to make for the original cast and i can see why. While I found Mima to do a relatively good preformance overall as far as being such a young preformer as this actress is, the movie just does’t capture what the musical has always superceeded in conveying. ALso what the hell was up with that strip scene. is it me or was that alittle over the top. but that holywood for you right. Plus i hear they made rossario dawson loose how many pounds. fuck holywood for that too. i’ll take a normal weight actress she’s skinny as it is…. and how about some updating on the characters if they were gonna botch it up might as well modernize the boring 80’s style..FLOP
