五、阅读理解
You've probably never seen a movie quite like this one. Loving Vincent is the world's first hand- painted animated movie. It is made fully with paintings. Every scene was created using oil paint on canvas (画布). Twelve frames(画 面) were painted just to show one second of the movie. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it.
The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on December 8. Its box office has reached over $ 20 million(132. 43 million yuan) worldwide9according to Variety.
The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh(1853——1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said.
A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent Van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father,Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally send a letter to Vincent's brother, Theo. Armand travelled across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh's life to find out the truth behind his death. But each person tells a different story.
There are many examples of the artist's work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Cafe, Wheat Field with Crows, and The Starry Night. It's no wonder Empire Magazine called it “one of the most beautiful films”.
The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent Van Gogh in a different way.
