Movie comment: For the first clip from the movie "Trust" there is a clear TOK moment: what is love? The girl claims that respect and admiration are love, but the man sustains the opposite. In reality, what is love? Does love actually exist? From the movie one can deduce that love is different from individual to individual and each and every one of us has a different perspective on what love is. Matilde
I totally agree with you about how our first TOK topic helped me/us broaden our view on art.
However, I still think that art is a lie, specifically FOR the reason you say it might be the truth. The artist's truth is personal to him, and him only, and therefore is not OUR truth about the painting. So, in our eyes the artists work is still a lie that is locked in time.
Like i said in my TOK essay, art is a lie, but REVEALS truth's about the author.
So like you probably experienced in the Grand Palais, I find that now I am able to view a piece of art and see beyond the critique; actually seeing into what the PAINTER meant, and not was his CRITIQUES THOUGHT he meant.
