I swear I'm a normal person, but i don"t know what's wrong with me now, EVERY move that Colin Firth does is somehow erotic to me!! OMG i'm going crazy
I skipped to this part (didnt watch the others) because i finished the book and wanted to see how the movie version is, and i have to admit, usually i hate the movie versions of books but this movie and coraline are my favorites.
btw, i was happy to see Susan (from narnia) in this :)
Tanneke was the one who told Griet about "The maid in red dress" painting, sitting with van Rujiven, but later afterwards carried his child... Griet nervously/curiously asks Pieter the father (who happen to be there at meat stall) about that time, showing she's worried herself who could be the very same maid if she sat in the propose painting. All this is from the book that I'm trying to explain the differences/changes. c:
AND they never showed van Loedhoek (not sure of spelling)- who is the one who warns Griet "never give up to his world" in the studio, while Vermeer goes off down the stairs to polish the lens of obscure camera. Ah sorry, I just wanted to clarify that between the film and book. There are many changes in the film which I felt deeply annoyed of not shown. And no Agnes! What a shame!
Maria Thins is a lot more awesome in the book- even she found out (without Catharina's knowledge, and later Tanneke knew though Maria told her to keep quiet) about Griet's mixing colours for Vermeer. She allowed so since Vermeer was painting a lot more quickly. When Griet moved the chair, it was actually a blue cloth that she moved so that the folds were shown differently and aligned the lady's arm while posed to write, holding a quill, so it would catch the eye and bring a focal point.
@billy1212ist well, I wouldn't have thought to put it so colorfully, but yes, to have Griet right there on the table in the studio would be a great way for the book/movie to have gone...
once johannes jumps when van ruijvan grabs griet, i fall in love with him even more. just say it, YOU LOVE HER! ooooh, the sexual tension kills me.....
What I think is so funny about both the book and the movie is that everyone assumes that Vermeer is banging Griet, (only they don't say it in so many words,) even though they haven't been doing anything at all.
Oh, and the girl at 7:58 , one of Vermeer's daughters, grew up yo be quite pretty. Anna Popplewell is her name, I believe, she was in the Chronicles of Narnia.
I honestly love and envy the relationship between Griet and Vermeer. It's something I yearn for in a boyfriend. A gentleman to understand me and art. D':
@ratrobber15 it isnt. but if you remember in the beginning they were talking about the last maid that van ruiben was painted with and she ended up carrying his bastard child
i love how griet moves the chair and he takes that suggestion and paints it out of the scene. the understanding they have with each other in art, it's beautiful.
@pemchem if the painting is still wet then u can wipe it off and paint over it, but if its dry then u just paint over it with whatever colour the background is.
@pemchem if the painting is still wet then u can wipe it off and paint over it, but if its dry then u just paint over it with whatever colour the background is.
@pemchem , talk2much101 has already explained quite well, and it reminded me of when I was little. My aunt was a painter, in oils, and she would buy me small canvases and let me paint as well. I would be very hesitant, and she would always say, "Don't worry, just go for it. You can always paint over it!" Oil paint is extremely opaque and will cover very well.
i love how Vermeer was all like "roar". he found the comb and then when van Ruijven grabbed Griet Vermeer got all protective and stood up like he was gonna deck him.. hee... i love this movie
So Johansson has a passion for her, and Peter has a passion for her, the little brat hates Grete so she trys to frame her and the Mrs. has no idea what going on between them all.
@kate51035 well in the book, it starts when greit slaps her, but not for dirtying a sheet. greit was going to the canal to get water and cornelia followed her and greit said "cornelia, are you going to help me carry the water? if not, go back up to your sisters." and cornelia laughed at her so she slapped her.
Johansson obviously loves her, he tore the house apart looking for that comb just to help her, and did you see the way he jumped up when that perv grabbed her? Colinn firth is so sexy in this movie.
@LostinThought16 I did like the fact that he cared enough for herto jump up to her aid when the sleazy old guy was all over her. you could see he was obviously upset that happened. I also liked how he tried to find the comb to try to help her from being blamed.
Oneeee more thing...besides the obivous reason of moving the chair for a better composition. I also thought that it was also b/c she noticed the blue/white tiles lining the floor in Vermeer's studio. Perhaps it was the work of Griet's father...?
The chair was bad composition for the painting.. and like griet says in the film, "she looked trapped".. it was a way for the film to tell the audience that Griet understands Vermeer in terms of art.
@captainbirchbark She's a woman brought up in a strict Protestant household in an era where they whole-heartedly believed St. Paul's declaration that, "Women should be silent," and she's an underservant in a large household. As low on the pecking order as she is, there isn't much she can say to anyone, and as shy as she is, there's not much she likes to say anyway.
Yes...I know..what I meant is that the actress Scarlett Johannson comes from a Danish family! And she looks sooo Scandanavian...so I indicated...beautiful Danish girl!
@xman4un I wish scarlets character would of lost her virginity to colin instead of pieter. I think colin would of been gentle with her if that happened between them just like he was gentle withother things. when she lost her virginity wit peter it was too quick and I thought kind of tacky.
imagine that. i bet the mother told the kid to do it, and when she gets punished, by the old lady, she leaves... that was sad... is that the grandmother? im still working on the family relations, and who is who.. i need subtittles!! i don't get some of the things they are saying... lol but great movie.. on to the next video!! later
@midniteandshadow21: Someone should actually get rid of mean ol' grandma. Even hitting a kid on the hands like that with a switch is just downright CRUEL.
@rayva1 - Toady, we regard it as cruel, but is was very different then. Don't forget, people were still burnt alive as witches in good old Europe by that time
Yes. Making paint is a very long and tiring process. You have to add the right material and keep the consistency the same. I had trouble myself at first, but soon learned how to do it perfectly. Even making my own colors from time to time.
