maybe you didn't catch one of the main themes in the movie, that pollock
did his best work while sober after he married lee krasner and they moved
out of NYC to long island, it was only after the nuemann film that he
started drinking again, and subsequently his work/life went to shit.
a small observation from an art historical point of view.
