Paint
SCORE: 57
I know I am getting a little long in the tooth for some of the Black
Friday 2023 purchases. I finally got around to watching Paint on
Blu-ray. Boy was I way off. I am normally a fan of the work Owen Wilson
does. Paint did not reach me. Paint did not entertain me. Honestly Paint
felt completely pointless throughout the entire movie. Paint also feels
like it is tone deaf and does not learn from the mistakes of the past.
There will be spoilers in my review of the Paint movie. Paint is about
Carl Nargle. He is Vermont's #1 public television painter. He is shown
at first as a complete and total prima donna. He can have whatever woman
he wants whenever he wants her. There are plenty of sexual overtones and
comments in Paint. Carl has this big afro and likes to smoke a pipe
while painting on live television.
Carl is obsessed with this mountain in Paint. This mountain is called
Mount Mansfield. This local art institute wants a painting of this
mountain. Carl spends nineteen years making paintings of this mountain
in hopes they will come to him and ask for one. Near the end Carl
finally goes to the institute and asks. He is rejected. He was also
rejected by a woman he loved when she cheated on him.
The issues families can have with Paint are sexual content, sexual
deviancy, sex outside of marriage, war on men, drug use, and more. Carl
gets stoned and accidently burns down his own barn with almost all of
his paintings. He also had a hair cut that day and it was found in the
ashes. He is presumed dead which means any of his paintings are now
worth all kinds of money. He is actually still alive and got back
together with the woman he loves.
The lack of logic in Paint is pretty bad. I totally forgot to mention
how a younger female artist replaces him at the station and he winds up
losing everything. The interesting thing is this younger female artist
makes the same mistakes Carl did. She starts going through the same
women he went through. I am not sure why anyone liked the younger artist
because she is not as good as Carl.
