The fact that he passed away thinking he was a failure makes my heartache.
whether or not he actually end himself, the thought of being despised by the entire world or the thought of being a nuisance to your family members or trusted person will bring depression, and depression will always give a person of an impulse to suicide, and people who fought against depression is truly strong
@@lioubastoupakova3770 thank you 🙏
@@lioubastoupakova3770 He didn't just think the world despised him. It's a bit more complicated than that. He loved his brother and his brother took care of him. But he felt like a horrible burden because of his depression. Today medication and therapy would have helped him incredibly well. But back then the treatments he had done weren't enough. It's living with his untreatable mental illness is what killed him.
and poor
I hope he's out there somewhere and knows just how much of an influence he's made and how much people love him to this day.
I don't think Van Gogh was crying for the "validation" his art received but realized his pain was not meaningless.
exactly Rocco!-glad someone was able to see this and comment it. 👍
Accurate
And that his art and pain, and how the two were linked was finally *understood*.
Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps.
They're not entirely different things, really. But clearly it goes beyond crying because 'oh, people like me'.
“Maybe God made me a painter for people who aren't born yet.”

HEY
The casting for Van Gogh is absolutely amazing
That actor IS Van Gogh!
It's really one of the best castings I've ever seen of an historical figure. I think the real Van Gogh would've been pleased.
@@just_kos99 I 100% agree!
Yeah crazy that they actually brought back van gogh to play him
The Real Doctor let Matt Smith use his tardis to go get Van Gogh, Thats really him.
so they found an actor who looked exactly like van gogh AND played him perfectly.
magnificent.
Edit: lmao apparently i triggered quite a few people with my casual, light hearted youtube comment.
the fact that he looks like van goghs self portraits is undeniable and by "played him perfectly" i obviously meant that he generally did a really believable acting job, in a way i could imagine van gogh would've acted like.
of course we can't actually know what he would have acted like in reality, what an obvious and unnecessary comment to make. congrats you really showed us simpletons by commenting that.
No the only person alive today and looking exactly like Vincent is Lieuwe van Gogh. 😉
The actor's name is Tony Curran. He has been in many movies and television shows, plus he's a Scotsman.
@@ry651 wait what?
Edit: i didn’t realise he had a brother………. Wow learnt something new today
Check out Willem Dafoe as Van Gogh.
Everyone knows they went back in time and asked him to play a part in it
Imagine thinking that you will die an ordinary person but you look around and see the impact you have had on the world and the art industry itself
Such an incredible scene
Ikr, he sees the paintings of others in admiration, only to then realize he is among all the other great painters. Just sad that didnt happen in real life
It still didn't save him from his regrettable end. Depression's a bitch.
Not even an "ordinary" person.
He was shunned and other's demeaned him for being a "crazy red head" smh 🤦🏾.
Thats not it he didnt felt like ordinary he felt miserable
Ash I’m also autistic and I know how you feel!
Vincent van Gogh's sister-in-law was the hero of his art. After her husband Theo died she spent the rest of her life promoting Vincent's art and making it the triumph that is today popular and beloved around the world.
True true.
This came into my youtube recommended after I watched the film Loving Vincent multiple times. I am writing my thesis about it, so I had to do so many deep dives into his history
One thing that really reminded me of this scene was in the ending scene of that Armand Roulin (one of the characters in the film) asks will people know what Van Gogoh did and what legacy he would leave behind
A grand legacy that would still inspire many to this day and will do so in the future as well. Vincent was a dreamer
I love how the curator in the end turns his head after walking away from Vincent and you can see him mouth "No " looking back to see if was really Vincent. This scene is so damn powerful
That's one of my favorite details that makes me smile (even tho I always cry when I watch this scene lol) cause he looks back like "wait a minute!" Then shakes his head cause that's such a silly idea like "no it couldn't have been HIM he's been dead for centuries c'mon"
@@mitch8088 He's been dead for less than a century and a half...he was a lot more recent than some other great historical painters!
I actually was surprised he didn't noticed him then realises he looks like him , he met with his favourite artist it's beautiful ❤
Bill NIghy's acting skills speak volumes. Fantastic actor
I'd like to think that somehow he knew
UA-cam recommendation be like:
“Oh! We noticed that you cry a lot.”
EXACTLY i hate youtube algorithm. Well I'm sorry youtube, I have such a weak heart
Glad to see I’m not alone
Oh my gosh me
Totally
I'm your thousand like.
This scene has it's own separate fanbase.
Along with interstellar's docking scene, i guess.
Don't forget the Backstreet Boys scene from Brooklyn 99.
@@Cobra-Commander83 Oh my God I forgot about that part.
@@HaloMachinimaFilms *Nine-Nine theme starts playing
I’ve never seen Doctor Who, but watched this scene at least 20 times!
I love how he isn’t just reacting to the art, but also the architecture of the building and buildings around him.
Indeed, he is in awe of all the art around him and then overawed that he's held in such awe.
Yes, I think that is the most important and impressive point here. Even just 100 years makes such a difference. Architecture, clothing, how people walk, talk... hairstyles even. It's such a culture shock, even though it might be the same place, just a little bit in the future. The fact that he looks everywhere at everything shows how mind-boggling and how impossible it must've felt for him.
If the last 100 years were anything, imagine suddenly taking a stroll in your nearest town, 100 years from now.
It’s also one of the most heartbreaking things right before the chorus kicks in, he doesn’t even notice it’s his name for the exhibit
I love that Van Gogh, even through his mental illness, despair and depression, still made art. Somehow he knew, even though life is pointless, he still had to try, still had to create. Thank God, he did.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
0:45 I love how Vincent stops to see the Monet painting, in real life he was a big fan of him.
Cool! I didn't know that
And Mozart thought Beethoven was destined to be a great piano player
Thank you for pointing that out.
I think he was surprised, because impressionists werent popular back then. No one took their paintings to official galleries. So I think it was just a shock to see his paintings in D´orsay.
OMG,there were like 4.9k likes u put mine and it became 5k ,never felt so proud ahahha
its so sad he died thinking nobody will care about his art
If we ever get a time machine, I hope someone does this for him.
Basically there’s an amazing comment thread on this video of many people swearing to make this happen!! :):)
same with Kafka (that dude who made Kafkaesque hulu baloo about the negativities of bureucracy)
Starry, Starry night...
SPOILERS IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO WATCH DOCTOR WHO
he actually still kills himself in the end of this episode i believe. It ends up becoming an interesting look at how you can't simply cure depression by showing van gogh that his art was loved.
The look on Vincent's face as he's overhearing Bill Nighy sum up his work and him as a person never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Van Gogh is an artist I always loved right next to Frida Kahlo and this episode was brilliant. A worthy tribute to a great artist and a great person.
It was so amazing 😍,and I felt it so much
Just want to say hi 👋
Fun fact, Bill Nighy is such a huge Van Gogh fan he agreed to do this role for free, and the entirety of his '100-word opinion' was ad-libed.
@@teamvlcn6820wow! That’s so cool to know. Thanks for sharing that information.
It's because Bill Nighy believes what he saying. It's what hew would say if he could speak to Von Gogh.
At 02:00 - what Tony Curran does just with his eyes is incredible. Vincent looks at the Doctor as though he’s worried it’s all a mean trick. Looking at the Doctor as if to say “why have you done this to me” - then he hears someone described only as “Professor” start to talk so passionately about him in glowing terms, in a room full of his work (and fans there to see his work). One of my favourite ever Who episodes, and that’s with a weak, invisible monster of the week. All that was needed were these great actors and the idea that while we die, great works never will.
hey
There therE

hey dude, wanna cry over a scene of a series u have never watch?
Sad scene and I never watch one episode till this clip lol
YOU 2 NEED TO WATCH THIS SERIES
When I was a teenager, I was used to watch this show on a TV every Saturday. Don't watch the first 6 seasons, just watch the seventh (or 6,i don't really remember, I mean the one with those actors from this video).
I had a great time watching it.
Dont listen to this guy ^^ watch it from season 1
Same!
This is the power of a great time travel Doctor Who episode. Just like the Pompeii episode, it doesn't try to erase the historical tragedy. Pompeii still falls, Vincent still dies. But there is always a way to make things, even in a small way, a little better than it was better. Whether it's saving one family or giving Vincent one good day, time travel episode are at their best when they show how the smallest change can make all the difference.
Right?! Doctor Who at its best, not going to lie. I and many others love the time and space travel highjinks, long winded monologues, and explosive plotlines as much as any other DW fan, but I really think that this scene encapsulates the objective best that DW as a franchise can achieve: appreciation and closure for the tumults of human history. This is a celebration of the reimagined psyche and day to day lives of influential figures seen as ordinary men, and I think that's so important for personalizing their impact outside of educational children's programes. Love it.
I always found the actor who portrayed Vincent Van Gogh very convincing. I know if I were in Vincent's place, i would be in tears too hearing those words. I am glad the BBC did a kind of tribute for Vincent. It is indeed sad in this world that for those who make such great contributions seem to be not accepted in their time. If only...
Tony curran. Such an underrated character actor
Imagine being hugged by your Idol and not knowing it was them.
He looked back towards his portrait at the end but shook his head as if in disbelief. I think he had a suspicion that it was actually Van Gogh
I would imagine the same.

@@nomad7196 looks and is like no way cant be
Sounds like some y/n stuff to me
Such a sweet scene. How they managed to find an actor that looks just like the real person is wild to me.
I know right? How do you even begin to look? "VAN GOGH Look alike contest!"
Van Gogh's final words before his death were akin to "the sadness will last forever." Reading his writings on his own struggles with depression and mental illness is both deeply touching and heartbreaking. So seeing Van Gogh realize just how much meaning and impact his life had, and how much he means to so many people, and that his struggles and pain in life weren't for nothing... it's incredibly cathartic. Truly wish I could bring Van Gogh back to life for a day just so I could give the man a big hug myself and tell him how much his works mean to me.
"He transformed the pain of his tormented life, into ecstatic beauty."
Brooklyn Wilson Vincent in a nutshell
Got me tears just by reading
Yes, that is what he said.
Wow you can listen
They're beautiful words that I try to remember every day. Vincent struggled with depression so long, but he was able to create such wonderful things. Struggling myself, this quote and scene has really helped me.
The actor playing Van Gogh really doesn't get enough credit for this scene
I'm surprised that he didn't end up playing something else
The resemblance is uncanny
Tony Curran is a fantastic actor
plot twist: it was real
@@allanmoncrieff5579 next mimute: 14th doctor is him.
When I’m having a bad day, I watch this clip. It reminds me this ignore the little things, to try and use pain, and passion, to find moments of beauty. Never fails.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Every person who ever loved Van Gogh wished for a scene like this. A scene where, somehow, poor, lonely Vincent would see that one day he'd be remembered and adored. That his brother's faith and support were well-founded. That his work, the paintings he poured so much of his soul into, would be cherished. If only.
"he took the pain of his tormented life, and turned it into ecstatic beauty" - this line always made me think about Robin Williams
yes!!!!
Oh wow 😯 it actually does make me think of him.
Yes, I miss him
Damn just make me cry even harder why don't ya. 😭💔😭💔😭💔
He was the one of the greatest men that ever lived.
If I can make one tv scene real, I would always choose this.
jayzhelle001 I’d choose the scene with the brachiosauruses in Jurassic Park 🦕
Me too! Vincent deserved something like a happy ending, and this post script is great.
I’d choose any part of the Harry Potter series.
I would choose the scene from shrek, where he comes out of the toilet
I‘d choose thanos‘s snap
The actor is phenomenal, but the whole scene, editing, direction, background is perfect. I watch this when my spirit needs a lift.
Vincent Van Gogh had the biggest heart - he loved and cared so deeply, more than most people could ever imagine. Deep depression is the shadow side of an incredible love and passion for life…it’s like a monster that pops out of nowhere and feasts upon your soul. I travel through time to the moon and stars whenever I see his work…thanks Dr Who this is perfect.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Haha still nice too see new comments after all these years. If I've learned anything about my depression since the last time i saw this video, it is that its just the other side of the coin to all the wonder and excitement in life. Not in that it takes sadness to appreciate joy, but that the wonder of someone who can create from the mind of someone so hurt is a kind of harmony that comforts the harmed and challenges the despair. I hope I can create like Vincent someday, and I hope that you also remember all the joys you can have. I don't speak for everyone, but my depression is a hurt beast that is just trying to be understood. Be kind to yourself like a stranger my friend
I love how Vincent stops and appreciates others artists work on the way.
Also how happy he was when they told him that they are going to visit an art museum. So pure. T.T
When The doctor said "Home if the greatest painters in the world" He wasn't expecting at all to be one of them. That's why he stops he just look at the others great work imagining what it must feel like to be there..
And then discovering it.
Your comment made me tear up
"On the way" except he didn't know he was on his way there, and did what anyone else would do while walking through a museum.
Greatness recognises greatness
Let’s make a pact, if anyone ever get a real life time machine, look for Van Gogh and make this real
Will do
Roger Roger
K.
Okay deal
Copy that
2:49 This scene is supremely beautiful, but something about the Doctor realizing his kind gesture might be too overwhelming for Vincent really gets me every time.
I always loved that this didn't magically cure his mental health in the Dr. Who universe. It didn't belittle his genuine mental health suffering as simply being "a bit sad" but a real illness that can kill even when you know you are loved.
Yes, Amy expected that it would, but of course it did not. From what someone else posted, I guess Richard Curtis said something to the effect that you cannot necessarily rescue someone from depression, but you can still give them a good day. As someone who has struggled, I cannot tell you how affirming that feels. An act of kindness, a respite, but not couched in the expectation that the person you love must now pull themselves together or else be guilty of yet another perceived moral failing. It’s a hard gift to give someone. But in my experience, a depressed person is breaking under the weight of perceived failures, and cannot bear any more weight.
Imagine when he finds out he has his very own museum in Amsterdam.
@@waltermessines5181
I liked VanderLinden as well, the museum with the popular fake-swimmingpool. The permanent art, like the sunbathing couple, it's pretty cool.

@@SiarPoyan I care! 😉 What are your city? Greetings from Brazil!
Too bad he still killed himself, even after showing him this
@@sashimi879 that is genuinely racist.
I actually cried, vangogh was seen as a failure in his time, he was a tortured soul who dealt with homelessness and mental illness, his art was laughed at and he died probably feeling useless and insignificant. It was really moving to see the humbleness and just absolute shock and joy of vincent, to see what he thought was useless to be considered as infamous
Blurryink infamous means something a bit different than what you think buddy
Beach Lasagno oop fail :p
true man, i realized how much of a beautiful soul he was after watching the film “loving vincent” (go watch it if u haven’t pls). he was a very beautiful man with a beautiful mind that not many artists today have. he truly had a gift with him. our world is not meant for someone as beautiful as him. (sorry i said the word beautiful too much lol.)
sweetie are you an INFP?
Chenlu Wu lol yes
I like how the actor stopped to admire the impressionist paintings before the Dr pulled him along to his exhibit. He was probably like "hey I recognize that piece, it's by my good friend Degas!"
It was monet, and not only was van gogh a big fan of him, monet was one of the first to recognize that he was one of the greats as well. Its a small little detail, but one very clever, since he probably was happy for monet to be on this museum
This scene stands out. An Oscar quality performance.
The actor who played Van Gogh was fantastic. Not only did he resemble him so closely, but he portrayed the intensity of raw emotion so beautifully that it made me a bit teary eyed.
yeah, it's a really powerful performance. Superb.
I’ve seen this episode many times and it always end up with tears flowing.
Almost portrayed him a little *too well* don’t you think?
I met him once after having seen a film in which he plays a very violent, nasty character. He was really nice.
I felt the same, I know what it is, I'll always remember it.
This man was so emotionally drained and struggled mentally, this was all he wanted, this scene is powerful
That's why I'm crying like a little girl rn
That means the actor was doing great
Basically, that’s all he wanted to hear.... somebody to appreciate what he did
Credit due to the Writers, etc who thought this up as well
@TheVintendo seconded
Every time I come across this scene I cry.
Me too. It's such a beautiful yet heartbreaking scene.
Me too. As an artist myself this always brings me to tears... Artists love their work with all of the passion in them and when we see our efforts be appreciated it makes us so emotional
The moment he realises it's his work on show, and the facial expression just humbling and realisation 😊👌
The way Vincent looks around at all his own paintings, like even HE'S never seen the true beauty and meaning behind them until that moment
Don't remember where I first heard this but apparently Van Gogh was his own worst critic.
@@seiggrainhart4719 Completely common with artists, almost a universal trait
I can prove, its true
@@seiggrainhart4719 everyone is like that we never really appreciate our abilities or talents
@@UnlimitedGreenWorks Mind if I see your art?
One detail people may have missed: How happy Van Gogh is at 0:40. Those are Monet's paintings. If I'm not mistaken, Claude Monet whas one of the first greats to recognize Van Gogh's talent.
You are one hundo percent right and that makes this moment so beautiful.
Should Van Gogh only have one ear?
@@matiKRK No, he did that rather late in his career
@@matiKRK contrary to pop culture portrayals, he didn't completely sever his ear. He only mutilated it. I haven't watched the episode in full, so I don't know exactly when in time they're visiting him, but I saw a montage of the episode that seems to show the almond branches painting for his nephew completed, and lots of painting in wheat fields in what I would assume is meant to be Provence, so it should be at least 1888. The ear incident was 1888. So yes it should look damaged. No it shouldn't be missing.
@@JennaGetsCreative Thank you for the complete answer
The music building up, perfectly matches the ball forming in one's belly, the tears beginning to well up, until it all just flows over. Surely one of the greatest scenes in television.
After Vincents death, Vincents brother campaigned heavily among the art scene on behalf of his brothers paintings, but sadly passed away only 6 months after Vincent. It was the brother's widow who ultimately completed the mission by hosting sales exhibitions of Vincents work that piqued the interest of some rather big names in the art world at the time. In 1905, she succeeded in arranging the largest ever exhibition of Van Goghs work, showcasing 480 of his pieces. Following this, the average price of a Van Gogh painting skyrocketed, not peaking until 1989 with the most expensive art transaction in history when a japanese buyer purchased a piece for 82 million USD. By her death in 1925, Vincents legacy as the greatest painter in history was firmly secured.
Imagine being a poor dude who painted random pictures then a complete stranger shows up and takes you to the museum with the greatest paintings ever made in the future and seeing your painting in it
Not to mention an entire section of the building dedicated to you
I'd probably have the worst mental breakdown ever because of not knowing how to handle so much joy and happiness 😅
Yep thanks for describing the video
You literally just described the video 😅 but I will still imagine for you
It's not random pictures. It's his life.
Vincent Van Gogh sold only one painting in his entire life
Today his surviving collective works are estimated to be worth $10 billion.
Have seen three small paintings at the museum, they are mind boggling, his brush work looks haphazard , but is so precise!
I gotta admit stary night is quite something special
Wow .. it's nuts how things play out
Это не совсем правда
Винсент все же был довольно знаменит в кругах художников и успел вдохновить нескольких художников например Пикассо
Thats thanks to his sister in law who deticated her life after his death to collecting them
A beautifully executed scene. Written and acted to perfection. The actor was a brilliant choice, and his performance superb.
I just wish he knew how much his art is appreciated and loved, he did not pass away a failure
I’m not into Doctor Who but this made me cry. Even without context, this is a very touching scene.
You should really watch this series with David Tennant Hes my favourite Dr of all
Please watch the show, you Will not regreat
Bethany Douglass even I cried at this scene to. So emotional
Same. Makes me wanna watch it now.
Me too, I’ve never watched the show, but this scene was amazing!! I am going to have to give it a try
Fun fact: if not for Vincent Van Gogh's sister-in-law, Jo Bonger, his talent might never have been recognized, ever. After Vincent's brother died--her husband--she recognized Vincent's talent for what it was and set about finding every painting of his that she could, from things that he basically threw away, to things that he had given away to other people thinking them essentially worthless. For years she collected all of his work that she could find until she died, and curated his work for various museums and galleries and promoted shows of his work every where that she could find anyone who showed any interest at all.
Because of Bonger's tireless promotion, Van Gogh quickly grew famous from the powerful impact of the talent he had and that she recognized and showed to the rest of the world. The sad part is that she realized the probably hundreds or more of his works that were painted over or destroyed, and some even just thrown away, never to be recovered. She collected what she could find, documented all of it, and brought his beauty to the rest of us in the world. If not for her lifelong quest to find and popularize her brother-in-law's exquisite work, the rest of us might never have seen any of it nor even had heard of his name. The rest of it, as they say, is history...but it was all due to Jo Bonger's passion and drive to rescue Vincent Van Gogh's work and reputation from the dustbin of history that we have anything to admire at all.

Interesting story.
@elviade Did you mean Horatio?
This is not dissimilar to Kafka - he was not recognized in his time, partially because he didn't pursue putting his work out there as much as he could have, he died young, he loathed his own works, and demanded that his best friend burn everything he left him when he died (I don't remember if he left him most of all of his writing).
His friend saw them for what they were and went about getting his works published for the world to see.
@@tukankibar4917 I was happy to help.
Yep , every single time I watch this I cry. Tony Curran was bloody brilliant in this role and should have won an Emmy for his performance as Van Gogh.
There are so many artists, writers, thinkers etc. who desperately deserved this treatment. It's a shame that the most innovative among us are often only recognized after their deaths.
'We only truly value something once it is gone' springs to mind
Vincent getting distracted by a Monet painting is so cute.
also it would have been cool if we could have his comments on other artists' work may be

Apparently he and Monet were buddies in real life. Just imagine if a time traveler drags you a few hundred years into the future and takes you to a museum that he describes as "home to some of the greatest art of all time," and your buddy's painting is displayed on a wall there? Vincent must have been so excited to see that

The presence of Van Gogh is real. I am a photographer and have a photo on his Wiki page when I visited Starry Night in NYC. This was two months before COVID-19 hit. A couple years later it’s as if he is in my presence time and time again.
The actor playing Van Gogh really nailed it.

Plot twist: it's the real Van Gogh
I like how Vincent goes "That's wonderful" over a grand art museum, even before he knows he is featured within.
I mean his life is his art and his love for it, why wouldn’t you like a place filled with art lol?
@@CaptainFracture Exactly. That's why I like it.
@@CaptainFracture from what I read from the accounts of his era, Impressionist painters hated the Louvre with a passion (back in the days, their paintings where most often not allowed in, inside they exposed the good old romantics which Impressionists criticized a lot)
It really shows just how much more happier it made him to find his paintings were held in it. He already was so excited to see the museum, just hearing what it's about in general.
@@CaptainFracture Back in his days, like many famous artists we regard as extremely talented today, were unappreciated. Their art went for cheap prices or outright ignored. Some only become well known after their deaths or towards the later half of their life.
This is my favorite scene in all of the Dr. Who series.
As a sci-fi fan with an unending love for the arts this is by far IMO one of the greatest, moving scenes in 'sci-fi' history, bravo Dr. Who & the entire team who worked on this.
Van Gogh's actor is phenomenal. I wouldn't mind him reprising the role if a movie was done about him
There is, it's called "Loving Vincent" He unfortunately didn't get to play the role of Vincent, but the movie was animated in the style of Van Gogh. Each cell of film was individually painted over live action people. It's really cool, and I highly recommend it.
"Lust For Life"
Old but Gold.
What about the new Willem Daffoe movie! It’s called “At Eternities Gate”
@@xlinnaeus and it looks fantastic, highly recommend it
Tony Curran. Also amazing in Defiance.
His brothers wife is probably the only reason we know about him. She saw value in his art work after his death and held onto them.
She also tried and succeeded in giving them renown through her artistic contacts and translated and published Vincent and her husband's letters to each other. This despite being criticized for holding on to them as it was viewed as a sentimental, fruitless effort. Johanna van Gogh really is a mostly unsung hero when it comes to making Van Gogh's paintings famous.

I don't know why I watch this, it breaks my heart every time. God rest you Vincent .
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
my favorite story of van gogh was when his brother had a child, he named it Vincent after him, and this made van gogh so happy that he spent 3 days not eating, drinking, or sleeping, just so he could paint the child a painting. I think it was titled "Autumn Blossom"
The way this guy looks to the side, in the end, thinking "wait a second, was that Van Gogh?" but ignoring it because it can't be, it's just brilliant
he looked towards the portrait. hold up gonna go cry my eyes out now
Why’d you need to explain smth so obvious lmao
Devil's Advocate because I love this scene
Well, considering the *"wait was it [famous artist who died or who's disappeared]? Nah it can't be"* thing is pretty common in those kinds of narration. I wouldn't call that brilliant.
@@GhostscoperHD why do you feel the need to drink Belle Delphin's bath water?
Vincent's dying words, "the sadness never ends." this made me cry.
I didn't even know that. And now I am crying.
I'm no Van Gogh expert, but how would anyone know that if he supposedly killed himself?
Although, I'm more in favor with the rumor that the local children did it on accident. Or he ate too much yellow and it finally disagreed with him.
@@BabsChannel He did not instantly die, (according to my knowledge) but instead, he lived for a bout a couple of days before he passed away. Not sure if this is correct
He shot himself i believe and was alive fell down the stairs or something , and that was his suicide note which he left. Also earlier in his life he once cut his ear with a knife due to frustration over the fact that no one appreciated his art. His story is truly tragic.
Rick Coleman I see that rather as his therapy.
This was one of the finest episodes of Doctor Who in the entire series. It was so filled with kindness and compassion! Beautiful!
This scene is one of my most favourite scenes in whole of entertainment media. It almost always moves me to tears. I have experienced the immersive galleries many times and not once have I been out of awe for this man , his work, his imagination and his passion for art. In any time of the world it is very easy to let go of something regardless of how passion one holds towards it when it does not bear any fruit. But, this great man kept going and creating timeless pieces and used it as a way to see a beautiful world through his tormented mind. I have always been an admirer of art and he will always be my most favourite. I haven't gone through his heights of pain and suffering but I do have my share of those and I use art as my coping mechanism and it truly helps. Just like language, art is a way to express ourselves, and that's why it was the first language created by humans to communicate and is still preserved and practiced because its indeed the greatest and most beautiful.
I accept this scene as historical fact.
There's no historical records to prove this happened
There's also no historical records to prove this *didn't* happen

Never seen doctor who. Came here for a happy Vincent.

The Mustache me too, it’s 7 am and I’m hyperventilating I’m crying so hard I love this.
You dont need to know anything to watch blink, silence in the library and the forest of the death. Just know the doctor is an alien who lives hundreds of years and he can change his appearance to save himself when hes about to die. Cheating death with the cost of appearance and personality.
And dont watch the 50th anniversarry before finishing series 1 all the way to series 4.
Im sorry. I meant "blink" not "weeping angel". Its a stand-alone episode.
He cried tears of joy! 🥹❤🎉
Scenes like this are what makes Doctor Who great.
For my mental health, I'm just gonna believe this actually happened.
lol😢
me too :(
Well, David Tennant.. I mean.. Ten said that Dr. Who is the real deal and the real world is an illusion and I believe him. Lol
Maybe he can see the world from where he is and can see how he's being remembered.
Me too
“I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.”
Great line from Don Mclean's song "Vincent". Mclean himself was inspired by the collected letters Vincent sent to his brother, Theo. I highly recommend this book "Dear Theo", by Irving Stone if you want a good sense of who Van Gogh was both as a person and as an artist. Irving curated some of the hundreds of correspondences Vincent and Theo exchanged. Makes for enlightening reading.
@@colleenhonderich1598 I’ll check the book out for sure but can we just acknowledge how good of a brother Theo was, he was the only person to offer and to actually sell Vincent’s paintings and even though artists such as Paul Gauguin saw great potential in Gogh Theo was the only person to stick with him till the very end offering him every bit of emotional and financial support he could.
He still has his left ear how?
Maybe the Doctor found him when he still had his left ear
@@thereviewman3381 He just cut his ear lobe, not his whole ear.
I watch this clip every few months and it gets me every time. Everything is perfect about this scene.
I'm happy to see Markus & Viktor getting along so well in their new respective careers after their individual downfalls. 😍
I don't even watch this series. But for once in my life, I would like to thank youtube for recommending this.
Muji Huz it’s a series lol
This whole episode is amazing.

Hello A Day To Remember
Totally agree
This is probably one of the saddest and most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in any media.
Same here.
The most tear-jerking scene from any TV show that is not Futurama.
For me it was the "Jurassic bark" episode from Furturama.
Yes. Oh my, yes. Exactly that.
Eh, the mawkish music kinda ruins the mood.
The actor for Vincent deserves a goddamn Emmy for this scene. The amount of raw emotion he displays is just so powerful.
Haven't watched a single episode of Doctor Who, this popped up in my feed because of Magic I think. I must say, one of the best scenes I've ever watched. So powerful.
"He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty."...such powerful words..

As a writer, those words sank deep into my soul. I love this clip so very much.
I feel that
@@rosethornil yea I play cello and just hearing that made me tear up
I'm saving that for my English creative writing or whatever subject that is lmao
Im so impressed with the acting here, the guy who plays Vincent really got into the role.
Tony Curran
Absolutely perfect for the role.
true.
perfecto.
For me he stole the show.
He still has both ears
Not only is this my favorite Dr Who episode, this is one of my favorites scenes from "any" TV show...ever. Such brilliant writing.
Imagine struggling day after day to make SOMETHING out of your passion, barely scraping by, and then one day, you get shown true validation that you WILL make it, better than any other, and the world will remember your name forever.
Remember that Van Gogh created his most famous pieces, including Starry Night, when he was receiving treatment. If you are struggling, never be afraid to ask for help.
Some think it could've been his medication which made him see yellow so vibrantly, in fact.
Addition: If you’re struggling never be afraid to create.
@@caitlin329 yeah, he drank his paint cuz he was suicidal and it contained lead. Lead poisoning caused auras to appear around lights and such, which is why he saw (and painted) the stars like that. Fun little tidbits of history.
@@biancaolfert1498 Not to do with lead paint at all, actually. I was talking specifically about his prescribed medication.
The point being that it may well have actually been him getting help which resulted in some of his greatest works; and people shouldn't feel the need to 'suffer for their art' like the stereotypes etc.
It's rare to find someone who looks like Van Gogh, but it's even rarer to find someone who looks like Van Gogh that can also act
I didn't know Van Gough was Scottish!
@@chazwyman8951 he is dutch (I don't know if this is sarcasm. Just want to be sure) :D
Kirk Douglas look very much like Van Gogh
Tony Curran is always good, in everything I've seen him in. Whether it's Underworld 2, 13th Warrior and Blade 2. He also played Odin's dad in the MCU.
@@frankbrown4780 He was great as Pete Twamley in Ultimate Force as well, in the action stuff (or crawling under buildings and being ready to blow himself up to achieve the objective), but arguably even more so later on when he's suffering from PTSD.
Brilliant. Moved me deeply and sincerely. If only for a moment it could have actually happened. ❤Tony Curran cast as Vincent Van Gogh was meant to be. He was fantastic! I’m touched by his performance. 🎭
I wish Van Gogh could’ve actually seen how his art transformed the world. He deserved it.
he died thinking of himself as a failure but he was far from a failure and that is what breaks my heart
@@thediamondprime7823 so many people failed him during the time of his life except his brother. Its such a shame hes only embraced in the afterlife when life was cruel to him. Sick irony isn't it.
Poor Van Gogh, displaced in time you can understand his tears as he looks around and sees that the entire museum is filled with non-whites. :(
@@BoopSnoot ....
@@BoopSnoot really had to make this a race thing huh
Sadly Vincent in the real world never got to see how his art panned out, but at-least I know one universe that did
Please don't remind me that this didn't happen for real. Out of all the scenes of Doctor Who, this is the one scene I really wish was real.
9nikolai hey fam, I’m not hundred percent on my answer
Yeah, sad how people didn't really appreciate his work at the time. For example, his portrait of Dr Rey was used to fill a hole in a chicken coop.
Usually the way with the great artists, their artwork doesn't have much value until after they have died. Just take Bob Ross as a modern day example when he was alive his paintings would of been worth a couple hundred of dollars at best. Now his paintings are worth thousands I believe his family still owns the vast majority of them and they're not for sale.
@@wetlettuce4768 painting's price depends on few things. The material used, the artist reputation, and rarity.
Bob used common material, but his reputation are incredibly good. And his painting isn't that "rare", because there's 3 copy of hundreds of his work. His painting shouldn't cost higher than 5 digit.
Although if they do sell his painting, it's probably still cost a lot because he has TONS of fans
Also, some modern artists still able to make big bucks while they're alive by abusing that 3 point. Use expensive material with huge canvas, has connection with top museum and art gallery, and only make 1 painting every year or so
Van Gogh is to me one of the greatest painters of all times and a most beautiful human being. The pain and mental illness are transformed into absolute beauty in his paintings with his incredible talent and passion. The hreatwrenching fact that he never got his just accreditation of his genius in his lifetime is tragic.
Hope somehow Vincent knows how much he is loved and respected now. He will always have a special place in my heart.
I'm never really into Dr. Who series. But this episode has me crying in silent tears. This episode is pure compassion.
one man can change the world, if he doesn't take credit for it.
Nah bro one of the best scenes EVER, top 3 definitely
It’d be pretty awkward if the curator started talking about Vincent’s suicide
@Adnan Osmančević spill the tea
Jay Stevenson it’s only one of the hypothesis that was investigated in 2011. He would have been shot by 2 teenagers that were already kind of bullying him but it would have been an accident (they were pretending to be « cowboys » as a game and the gun fired while Van Gogh was around in a field). Then he would have not say anything to protect them from trouble and pretended it was a suicide attempt. I personally dont think the evidences are strong enough to affirm that’s what happened, it’s based on a lot of late testimonies from the 1930s (he died in 1890)... most of the specialists still consider its a suicide (for instance an expert published an analysis retracing his last day of life only a few months ago and he confirms the suicide thesis).
@Jay Stevenson The Gunshot wound was below his ribs in the abdomen and was too small to be a close range GSW, the angle and size of the wound suggesting that he was shot from a distance! More distance than Vincent could've achieved on his own! He claimed he had done it himself at first saying "Do not accuse anyone. It is I who wanted to kill myself", but when later asked again if he shot himself he replied with "I think so". Revolvers were also very rare to obtain in Auvers at the time, and Vincent couldn't even afford to pay for his art supplies on his own, using money given to him from his brother Theo! No one at the time said they sold him or lent him a gun either. All of Vincent's painting gear and the gun he supposedly used to kill himself were gone in the field he was said to have been painting and shot himself in! There were also drafts of letters on his desk that you'd think he wouldn't want anyone else to read! He also had some teenage boys that used to gain his trust just to bully him, putting hot pepper juice on his paintbrushes he would put in his mouth, and even putting a snake in his paint supplies! One of the boys, Rene, went to a wild west show and came back with a .380 caliber pistol. Vincent called him "Puffalo Pill", a mispronunciation of Buffalo Bill due to his accent; this of course would further upset the boy! In the wake of the shooting Rene and his father left town, and when they returned Rene (who rarely traveled without it) no longer had his pistol. When questioned about the gun decades later, Rene claimed Vincent stole it from him. It is believed that the boys accidentally shot Vincent and he had covered for them, as he was a sweet man knowing that his accidental murder would ruin their young lives! It is also even believed now that he might not have even cut off his own ear, but rather he covered for other people who did it! Which would also support the idea of Vincent covering for those who have wronged him in life, even to the very end! But due to Irving Stone's widely popular novelization of Vincent's Life and Death in 1934, and the 1956 movie that followed...many still believe that Vincent was a tortured artist who took his own life even with all the recent evidence contradicting that might not have been the case. I of course am leaving out some details so I don't have to write an entire novel, but I encourage you to do further research if interested! It's not my job to educate you, and I also can only speak for myself and myself alone. To speak for another person in absolute certainty... especially regarding their death in mysterious circumstances... would just be ignorant!! The truth is Vincent's death is surrounded in mystery and we will never know the entire truth, but he had much more to offer to the world than just his sad life and death. People get too caught up in the artist's suffering, but not the art itself and what he was trying to communicate through his work!
"spoilers"
they should've done that. it'd be funny
The person behind this episode, Richard Curtis, wrote it as a tribute to his Sister who died by suicide. Knowing that really makes this scene even more heartbreaking.
That’s amazing.
no it doesn't
Sad but its been acknowledged that it's most likely he didn't die by his own hands. It may not have been premeditated murder... it could even have been assisted suicide but it's unlikely he pulled the trigger. No matter what though looking at his life, it would be truly beautiful if this happened... and I hope Richard's sister liked the episode.
🤗
I was just wondering who wrote this episode. I never bothered to check. Thank you for letting me know. It make sense why this is one of my favorite Dr. Who moments EVER. I love most of Curtis' work.
❤ I liked Van Gogh, but this portrayal of him really made me appreciate him so much more. Kudos to the actor and thank you!😊
This is one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes, it's just so damn good from beginning to end
I really adore the fact that when the Doctor said that the museum contained many of the best artworks from history, Van Gogh was so delighted by the idea, and how he was drinking everything in and smiling so much as they walked through the museum. It never occurred to him that his works might be amongst these other great pieces, he was just going on an art tour.
His positive "oh thats wonderful!" and bright smile. So lovely
Pauci, I wish that you'll visit Musée d'Orsay in Paris one day.
Sentimental waffle.
Van Gogh would have laughed at this
He stopped in front of one of my favorite Monet paintings like Wow 😯 I was was like IKR!!
@@dorisbarkler8570 Van Gogh was in Paris for two years and saw Monet's work. He may well have seen some of those before when they were brand new.
