I just watched this awesome documentary on Henry Darger, recommended by Renee (again!). It tells the true story of this poor and solitary janitor in Chicago who did a 15,000 page novel named The Realms of the Unreal together with 300 paintings in his life. All his works were only discovered by his landlady after his death.
The film presents to us two pictures of Henry Darger: his social picture which is very limited and almost invisible; his inner picture, his private art world, which is in contrast so overwhelming and rich. His isolated way of living left the world little evidence of his physical existence, except three photos of himself, one friend and a few acquaintances. Instead of trying to create an objective biography, the film rather explores Henry’s mysterious inner world by blending in a large amount of his paintings, writings and autobiography with limited source of interviews and photographs. Through his works, we see his constant inner struggle with God, his eccentric vision of kids, his expression for peace and freedom… The strangely beautiful art world Henry created is the ultimate world he lived in.
From a presentation perspective, the animation of Henry’s original paintings is quite appealing and innovative. The juxtaposition of the blooming time images of Chicago with Henry’s fantasy characters makes sharp contrast between two different time and atmosphere which paradoxically coexisted. These imaginative techniques employed in the film simply accord with the incredible imagination inside Henry.
Worth mentioning, director Jessica Yu spent five years in making this film including extensive research on Henry’s works. I appreciate her efforts to show us the work and life of such a hidden genius.

“一個(gè)人需要隱藏多少秘密,才能巧妙地度過(guò)一生?!边@句陳詞濫調(diào)要是用來(lái)形容亨利的生平,未免太苦澀了些。
Henry Darger活在他的幻想王國(guó)里,他的肉體是個(gè)軀殼,用來(lái)延續(xù)童年期的純真和絕望。主題歌恰當(dāng)?shù)赜昧藅om waits 的innocent when you dream。他的藝術(shù)不是策略性的,而是innocent dream
感覺(jué)跟薇薇安邁爾好像。為什么所有人都說(shuō)老人童趣,我覺(jué)得好恐怖額。彈幕里還有成功學(xué)也是夠了。想提醒一下,發(fā)“卓越必成功,勤奮出奇跡”的,人,已經(jīng)死了。。
