Comrade Rivera.
:24:34
What a nice surprise.
:24:46
What if I told you
:24:48
that easel painting like yours
is finished,
:24:53
that it's headed
for the trash
:24:54
like other elitist,
bourgeois pastimes?
:24:58
I'd say cut the propaganda.
:25:04
This is very good work.
:25:07
You have real talent.
:25:08
Oh, come on.
:25:10
I'm not looking
for your compliments.
:25:13
I want a serious critique.
:25:15
But I'm being sincere.
:25:17
These are
very original paintings...
:25:20
none of the usual tricks.
:25:22
But that's...
that's not specific.
:25:25
You have to trust
a true compliment
:25:27
as much as a critique.
:25:29
Yeah, well, some people
have told me not to trust
:25:32
what you say.
:25:34
They say if a girl asks
your opinion,
:25:36
and she's not
a complete fright,
:25:38
you'll gush all over her.
:25:41
I need you to tell me
one thing honestly...
:25:45
do you actually believe
that I should continue to paint?
:25:48
Yes.
:25:52
Yes.
