I've never thought a documentary could be so wonderful before I saw "The Divine Michelangelo".In this two-part series,it's combined with dramatic reconstructions of Michelangelo's life based on his actual words.
During this movie,graphic Michelangelo comes to me.He's not only a spiritual being but a complex character.At times bad-tempered,paranoid and eager to get money,at other generous and affectionate.
The movie shows his passion for art,for beauty and for the God.A sculpture may took him several years to choose the right material and another several years to create the masterpiece.He wrote"I already have a wife who is too much for me;she is my art,and my works are my children"in a poem.
Pride is another distinct characteristics of himself.He told his biographer that what Raphael knew of art was learned from him.And his wry nose which makes he feel self-abased for life was beaten by his fellow because of his provocation.
He always claimed he was divinely inspired.He thought nature was his starting-block which means the edification from the God.Anyway,his incredible feat is worth the word----perfection.
