      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

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.

    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.

      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

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.

    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.

But there is always a way to make things, even in a small way, a little better than it was better.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    It’d be pretty awkward if the curator started talking about Vincent’s suicide

      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!

    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.

      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 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.
