Movie: Surviving Picasso


The movie Surviving Picasso directed by James Ivory is about the love experience between Picasso and the girl called Françoise. The background of the movie is happened in Paris during the Nazi occupation of the city. Francoise was forced by her father to be a lawyer. However, she was not interested in being lawyer but being painter. Due to this reason, she had chance to recognize the painter Picasso and then fallen in love with his ability and genuine. This movie it maybe not related with the biography of Picasso, but it reflected parts of his life from it. In this movie, it is more about Francoise personal life than Picasso’s work. In addiction, the movie depicts several of the women who were important in Picasso's life, each of whom seems deeply scarred by their life with Picasso.


After watching this movie, I have more ideas about this artist Picasso. I learn his personal life from Francoise’ love to him. Except that, the most impression to me is the role of Francoise, who was an independent girl to pursuit her dream. Although her love to Picasso was not the only one in Picasso’s life, she still kept her dream in her heart. Actually, I didn’t like that kinds of man as a womanizer. However, he still gave the most impact in the field of art all over the world. Consequently, it made Picasso amazing in many girl’s heart. This movie not only let me know more about Picasso’s personal life, but I also learned how the woman in old days did their best to pursuit their dream.
