Reflect on this weeks film (F for Fake)

The whole film has a strong sense of personal awareness, and the comments on the events in the film are also subjective, without the participation of third-party opinions. The most exhausting thing is that the director has been holding the audience’s nose forward. Compared with other documentaries, this film is quite aggressive in the way of discussing or guiding the audience to accept their opinions after restoring the incident. While telling stories, the director is monologue while commenting; the development and rhythm of the stories serve the commentary completely. Because of the director plays an important role in narrative, the audience has to pay a lot of attention to the director, and because the director’s narrative has a strong subjective will, it is quite difficult to understand. The audience must focus on understanding the director’s words and intentions in order to keep up with the rhythm of the film. He created fake paintings all his life and sold them to famous art museums all over the world. From Europe to America, Chicago to Philadelphia, he had fake “famous paintings”. One of his brilliance is that he always forged a painting that the painter had never painted, rather than copying a painting, according to the style of a famous painter. Two, he traded with any curator or collectors in person, cash transactions, without leaving a certificate. So, in the end, if he hadn’t jumped out and admitted himself, no one would have known that the famous paintings worth hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars came from his pen.
