Drew Haskell French 2 review Les glaneurs et la glaneuse

I liked the film fairly well. It was odd and sometimes a bit random though. In parts it was kind of hard to follow and I think Agnes is going a little crazy. There was some points In the movie that seemed just kinda out of place. I'm also wondering how she found all those people.

I did get the general theme of the movie though. Or at least I think I got the general point of the movie. I think it was about how much people wast today. That so much of what we throw away can be used and is not only usually but is good and is pretty much what we buy in the stores people are gleaning out of trash cans dumpsters and everywhere. I think that the u.s should do something like gleaning. It doesn't hurt the land it can feed hundreds of people who are homeless or out of work. It's honestly a great idea.

The Importance of the biologist who teaches immigrants how to read and write was great I think. I think what it meant can be up to interpretation and that theres no right answer for what it meant. What I saw from it was even people who have it bad can always help others. Even him who was living in a shelter and scavenging for food was at least putting his knowledge to good use and helps the immigrants learn to read and write. It also shows that even highly educated people can end up in bad predicaments and that nothing is certain or garntied in life.

The painting at the end of the movie I'm still kind of uncertain what that men. I think the fact it was storming in the movie when they showed the painting was just a coincidence. I don't think that fact that it was storming means much. I think the picture meant that people will no matter what they're getting for food or possesions that people will always flee before a storm and scatter. The painting was a interesting contrast between itself and the gleaners.

 * Jean-Francois Millet was born on October 4th 1814. he was born in grunchy. He was his parents first son> Both of his parents were peasants in the town that they lived. AT an early age he learned about Latin and modern authors before being sent to study with a portrait artist.**


 * Later in life he returned to cherboug to become a portrait painter. But that following year he got married and moved to pairs. However in 1943 his wife died of tuberculosis. After his wife died he returned to cherboug. Where later in his life he got remarried and had nine children.**


 * Millet was part of the realism moment. The realism movement refers to a movement in France starting in 1850's that refers to artist making artwork that reflects realistic scenes in life like people working walking etc instead of drawing l\unrealistic things. This was a change in the era that differed greatly from the popular romanticism of the time. The basic of realism is everything is realistic unlike romanticism where romantic things are greatly over exaggerated.**


 * He also played a very important part as future inspiration. One famous painter he inspired was Vincent van Gogh. He is also a character in one of mark twains stories Is He dead where millet fakes his death to earn him fame.**


 * Millet had a lot of famous painting but the one he considered most important was the painting he called Harvesters Resting. And earned him his first official recognition as an artist. One of his most well known paintings in The Glennis depicting people gleaning off the land off a large landowner.**
