time and effort involved in the creation of every painting. Painting was truly Van Gogh's passion and this continually comes across in the film.
Aside from viewing many of his paintings, I also learned a lot of interesting facts that I didn't know about Van Gogh beforehand. I love learning random fact of information, so I also found this part extremely interesting. Before the film, I didn't know much about Van Gogh's life, however this film allowed me to gain a better understanding of who he actually was, aside from the famous story of him cutting off his ear. It was interesting to note that Van Gogh was supported by his brother, Theo, who was an art dealer. He would pay for Van Gogh's living expenses and painting supplies, and in return, Van Gogh sent his brother all of his paintings to sell. This is what allowed Van Gogh to create the hundreds of paintings during his career. What made learning about Van Gogh's history even more interesting is the fact that the film has the narration from Van Gogh's point of view.
Overall, I learned a lot from the film and the 40 minutes just seemed to fly by. when it finished, it felt like it had just started!

I definitely think that this is a film most adults would enjoy and if anyone wants a break from the hot summer weather, you should go and check it out!
