Girl with a Pearl Earring

A very... heavy movie to watch.

It's about the life of Johannes Vermeer and he found as inspiration for his paintings. It shows how he saw things as layers of colours and not for what it looks at first.

The whole movie was rather silent. There was not much to be said. So you kinda have to sit and watch and let their actions all sink in. The portrayal of life in that era was very intriguing. It looks at things like how peasants are treated and how maids are excused to places like the cellar.

What I did really like about this film is how they showed how paint was made in the past and what they used for colour. Colin Firth was as he normally is but Scarlett Johansson was brilliant.

It's a heavy movie, but if you feel like a drama, it's a good watch.
