Art School Confidential
Today, I went to see Art School Confidential. This is a movie about a young, aspiring artist who gets into the Strathmore College of Fine Arts. However, he quickly realizes that the art world is not just about talent, but who you know. Especially when he makes comments that his classmates down agree with, as well as a jock artist whose style is basically Microsoft ClipArt on bristol board.
The main character, Jonah is clearly attracted to the girl who posed for a picture on the brochure that he has. However, during the movie, the jock Artist flirts with this model. Jonah actually takes the initiative to work as a bartender at some art show where it was by Invite only, but it turns out that this girl went with the jock Artist. I believe at this point in the movie, he gave up on liking the girl.
Jonah also asks his painting professor about how to hone in on a style, but his prof says to him that he's too young to be locked in a style, he should be experimenting with other styles. However, when he gets his end of term mark (an A, which happens to be everyone else's grade), he gets pretty pissed off.
Oh yes, and there's also this Strathmore Strangler, who has been strangling people around the campus. I believe that the bitter graduate turns out to be this individual, but I'm not 100% sure.
I don't know how the movie ended, well, I do since I read the spoiler, but I didn't see it on screen, since about 10 - 15 minutes before the film ended, there was a technical difficulty at the AMC, so I ended up getting a free movie pass for next time.
