Vincent Van Gogh Visits the Gallery | Vincent and the Doctor | Doctor Who 

Along with interstellar's docking scene, i guess.

Don't forget the Backstreet Boys scene from Brooklyn 99.

HEY

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.

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.

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

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

@@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.

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.

Krysz Gaerlan I like your comment but I can’t like because there are 420 likes.

@@nomad7196 looks and is like no way cant be

Sounds like some y/n stuff to me

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

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.

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.

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'.

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 know right? How do you even begin to look? "VAN GOGH Look alike contest!"

Same

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.

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!

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!

Mangalex28 Tony Curran

Yeah but should have given 3 kisses (as is normal in the netherlands.)

Joep hou je bek

Joep and in the city where I live and y also lived , Arles , south of France we do 3 kisses

Plot twist: it's the real Van Gogh

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

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.

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

@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

Will do

Roger Roger

K.

Okay deal

Copy that

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Muji Huz it’s a series lol

This whole episode is amazing.

Same

Hello A Day To Remember

Totally agree

also it would have been cool if we could have his comments on other artists' work may be

100

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

He wrote a letter to his brother complaining about his dissapointment in monet

@@garethirwin4714 oooo why???

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.

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.

Tony Curran

Absolutely perfect for the role.

true. perfecto.

For me he stole the show.

He still has both ears

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 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

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.

@@GaminLuna he was racist lol. I doubt he would appreciate our time

Luna While he was a racist. He had a reason for it. The guy was completely socially awkward, he had no friends, stayed inside his house all day and he watched his father die of a stroke and his mother go insane. It’s also not surprising because at his time of life most people were racist. I’m not defending his racism however, but simply putting it into perspective on WHY he was the way he was. If you look at what he said, he was literally afraid of black people. He didn’t understand that they were people just like everyone else. He saw them as monsters. In the most basic terms he was fucked in the head. It would still be interesting to see what he would think today.

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. :(

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.

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.

@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

It was a Monet, as people in these comments point out he probably recognized it.

"when his face lights up at the concept of an art museum " lol he lived in the late 19th century France, they had art museums

It's not random pictures. It's his life.

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

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

Это не совсем правда Винсент все же был довольно знаменит в кругах художников и успел вдохновить нескольких художников например Пикассо

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.

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.
