Review of Pollock (2000) by Joby D — 07 Dec 2012
This movie finally showed me what abstract art is all about--something I have been struggling to understand on an emotional level for years, although I have knowledge of the theory behind it, the why it came about.
Watching Ed Harris literally dance his canvass was eyeopening. After watching the movie, I watched the actual video of Pollock himself doing the same thing made me realize how well Harris had researched the role and he certainly had the self-destructive aspect of Pollock's character accurately portrayed.
The film was outstanding as an achievement in film, and, although I'll always be too bourgeois to like abstract art, I now finally understand and appreciate it better.
