I’ve written before how Sean thinks that I only watch 10 movies over and over again. I will not dispute that fact because it is completely true! If I really like a movie, I will watch it 1 million times! I thought of this yesterday because currently I am in my The Accountant phase. I’ve already watched it about six times during this cycle. What is this movie dad was introduce me to Jackson Pollock‘s work:
Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) had this painting in his trailer and Daena Cummings (Anna Kendrick) recognized it immediately. I remember that painting having a lasting affect on me and when I watched The Longest Yard (not sure which movie I saw first) but in that movie a bunch of Jackson Pollock‘s work ends up being auctioned off to Luke Collins (Clint Eastwood’s son).
So, watching The Accountant yesterday made me think about a project Sean had made in school a couple years ago. He hooked it on to a hot I have in the living room. That hook is for a picture frame I had for a very long time. The first picture I hung was from Sean’s First Communion. I updated it for his Confirmation but when my living room was painted when my kitchen doorway was widened, the room was painted and I have not gotten around to hanging the painting deck on the wall.
So, Sean brought his project home a couple years ago and hung it on the wall where his Confirmation photo was supposed to be.
When he brought it home and hung it up, I told him that it looks like Jackson Pollock‘s painting. He told me that’s what he was thinking of when he did it! I guess my crazy idiosyncrasies have someone of an impression on him too.
