The picture
The original Van Gogh's paintings are no doubt beautiful. Every second of this movie is a masterpiece. Every frame is handpainted and the whole movie is completed by 100 artists. However, different artists have difference style of painting, and even though they tried very hard to accomodate the differences by painting the same style, the audience could still notice those differences. That is the main drawback of the picture in this movie.
The storyline It reminds me of RPG games. You, playing as the main character, talk with people to get 'clues' or 'objects', and reveal the story along the way. This is common practice of an RPG game. For a movie, it is a bit too simple. History is definitely not an excuse for a simple plot. If the story is not exciting, then it should be more philosophical and discuss something deep throughout the movie. The whole 'don't focus on his death but focus on his life' thing is really the biggest sacarsm to the entire story.
