  • nice video but where the audio???

  • Very good, but the movie haven't got sound.

  • Vincent should try to paint harder, harder than a hard rock. But in 30 July 1890, people only like one of his painting,

  • Vincent van Gogh a real master in they art, but the poeple didnt liked his way of art they wanted him to be like all arts man he was sick of it. How i know this? Im from Holland and i wish there was more art i was in the museum of Amsterdam but

  • Vincent was so frustrated being among master artists who were actually selling their paintings. I studied Vincent and from what I read his last words were 'Human sadness will never end'. I went to the VG museum in Amsterdam and viewed 'Sunflowers' at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Overwhelming art.

  • i feel so bad for him, his painting are absolutely beautiful. i cant believe that he went mad, cut off his ear and then committed suicide. can you believe it?! there is a musician named don McLean that wrote a song called Vincent and was dedicated to Vincent van gogh. it is a very poetic song. i personally think it is a beautifully written song that really puts a good image of who Vincent was and described his artwork wonderfully.

  • sadly the sound doesn't work for e

  • Poor man... All he wanted was some recognition...

  • there was a report on bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-a­rts-15328583

  • Un regocijo para el alma

  • Vincent Van Gogh and Leonardo de Vinci are two of the most creative people ever!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • His ear ! You forgot his ear ! Fantastic effort but XD

  • God bless him.

    What a wonderful artist.

  • Allahin gijdillax bendeleri, pul gorub qudurublar

  • @bestfilmz No, I don't think so. Says Vincent's Final Moments. So Not quite sure about your question. Sorry.

  • This isn't an excerpt from the movie Vincent and Theo is it?

  • the irony of existence is that every single human is capable of anything it just boils down to chance and choice

  • @boogiebuddy01 This may be nice to believe, but it's not true. Not all of us have the same possibilities. We should be cherishing our differences not agonizing to be the same. This is the problem with education in America, and many other countries. We are different, we can not all be painters and physicists. We must find what we are all individually good at.

  • Comment removed

  • @lucaslikesthomas Yeah, after he shot himself he walked back to the inn and died a few days later.

  • @CoolerKing37 Yeah, I thought so, I read it somewhere... Poor Vincent, his work is genious how could no body love his work!?

  • So sad that there was no one who could help Vincent,such a tortured mind.His work is his gift to us who are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy and respect the man.

  • Just goes to show what depression can do to someone good painter or not, it effects people of al classes and cultures

  • THANKS A LOT FOR THIS CLIP!!!

    THANKS FOR THE INFO ON CHANGING 360>>240!!

    I WONDERED WHY IT WAS!!

    GOD BLESS U AND ALL OF THEO'S DESCENDANTS...VVG'S ALSO!!

  • vincent van gogh represent a shadowy group of people whose artistic genius is shunned by the narrow-minded segment of mankind!

  • @cosg9531 - ...and you're behaving like a bit of a fool. As you don't currently understand why Van Gogh is held in such high esteem, try spending a little time learning about him and his work, instead of embarrassing yourself like this in public. ...unless of course you're one of those internet saddos who get fun out of 'being controversial', in which case please carry on being silly. Painting is about Van Gogh AND Parrish, surely you can see that?

  • @cosg9531 Fuck You.! Van Gogh Was An Artistic Genius Who Shows Genuine Emotion In His Work While Maxfield Is Just Some Fuckhead With A Brush That Tries To Make Colors Look "pretty"

  • @cgreatestarsenal Must every useless imbecile reply to me?

  • @cgreatestarsenal FRIEND, don't pay attention to those brain-dead views! Let's defend the memory of monsieur vincent with intense vigour from the philistines whose business is nothing but vigourously blackening the reputation of the master painter from holland. RIP, monsieur vincent. greettings from the PH.

  • Good, ol' Vince was a psycho hack. His paintings are bad, but his drawings are even worse.

  • @cosg9531 I hope one day you'll understand his intense genius.

  • like vincent? check out oh3.net. be sure to read the first paragraph.

  • Thanks!!! 48 people didn ´t learn anything yet. VINCENT: THE MASTER

  • wuz one of his ear cut off?

  • Incredible that despite shooting himself in the chest he was able to walk back to his lodgings before dying in the arms of his beloved brother, Theo, two days later. According to Theo his last words were "La tristesse durera toujours" (the sadness will last forever). Very sad also that just six months later Theo would die from Syphilis.

  • @71TattyTeddy Just goes to show you that Theo was a social butterfly, while Vince was not.

  • you are so right

  • Thanks for the sound! I chanced on this tragic clip while searching the song 'For Vincent, Starry, Starry Night" I agree, greatness is often appreciated after death... Wish he had friends and help then....RIP , M'sieur Van Gogh

  • It is of course difficult , to live without recognition and appreciation for your life's work. I believe that if the mental health system were able to understand and treat Mr. VanGogh, he may have lived to produce many more paintings as well as enjoying a productive life. Although with his mental issues controlled, would he have produced the paintings he did? Wasn't his mental state a major factor in his work? Sadly we will never know. And- Supply & demand, fewer products=higher value.

  • the greatest imressionist painter of all time.

  • oh thankyou works now

  • wheres the sound

  • History is only what somebody told us. And nobody was there. This probably happened but I ask you to remember this.

  • Andy Serkis managed to capture Van Gogh's suffering in so much more depth.

  • I have learnt so much today. An ad on TV played starry starry night. My husband and I argued as to who sang it. I found my way here. This is wonderful. Thank you. I feel the need to investigate more.

  • @elrobbo2000 Starry Starry Night was written, sung, and recorded by Don Mclean the same recording artist who sang American Pie.

  • thats what i'm like when i'm painting

  • This was created by the art chair at my school. Jack is awesome. Great film.

  • I believe Van Gogh would have done better paintings than he did then but even though he didnt live long he lived long enough to become the most recognized and probably the most talented artist of all time. RIP VINCENT VAN GOGH

  • If you do not hear the soundtrack on this video, go to the lower right of the video viewing window and change your settings from 360p to 240p. That should fix it.

  • @extremelyindependent THANKYOU

  • @extremelyindependent In order to restore sound, change settings from 360p to 240p.

  • I'm fairly sure the Doctor was here for this.

  • One thing is certain: Nothing could be closer to the truth than Vincent's last words, " The sadness will never end."

  • As I recall, there was an newspaper article about a woman who had sold paints to him as a girl. She said he had a bad temper, and he smelled really bad.

  • I saw a Van Gogh exhibition several years ago in San Francisco (My God, the colors were so much more intense than anything I had ever seen in a printed illustration of his work! I saw a few, including "Starry Night over the Rhône" a few days ago at the post-impressionist exhibit from the Musée d'Orsay. The shots I see on my computer seem to do much better on the colors.)

  • Vincent did not die instantly. After he shot himself in the chest, he walked back to the inn and died 2 days later. His brother Theo wrote of the account and reported Vincent's last words were "The Sadness Will Last Forever" in French.

  • ´Quem fez este vídeo não lembrou que nos seus momentos finais Van Gogh só tinha uma orelha.

  • Van Gogh died poor and alone now his work goes for tens of millions in cash. Life is stupid, no wonder he left us.

  • MILLENNIUM SHAKESPEARE art exhibition ... MSAE during the Olympics 2012 - Artists from around the world

  • My understanding (mis?) was that Vincent took his life some time after his brother got married. There is some conjecture that this was a factor in his suicide, that perhaps he was aware that the financial support bestowed by his brother was burdening his brother and his new family. What is your take on this?

    

  • Me gusta el tratamiento fotográfico

    y los toques de edición, le dan potencia.

  • he shot himself cos he was ginger

  • Vincent vangoh can't be famous if he isn't dead~I envy of his good inspiring painting

  • You were all the inspiration I ever needed. You are with the very stars you painted so well. Today is your day.

  • R.I.P Vincent

  • It would be nice if the video had sound.

  • @zoyclem -- If you do not hear the soundtrack on this video, go to the lower right of the video viewing window and change your settings from 360p to 240p. That should fix it.

  • @extremelyindependent,

    That worked. Thanks. It's definitely better with sound.

  • @extremelyindependent Thank u .Good info on the sound .it worked when i changed it to 240.

  • this is really sad... )=

  • If you want to really find out what Vincent was like, read the collection of letters between he and his brother Theo. After Vincent died, Theo died less than 6 months later and Theo's wife had the letters bound. The book is, "Dear Theo". Vincent once said, "It is not my fault my paintings do not sell, one day they will be worth more than the price of the paint and my own soul." In the 90's the highest price paid for a painting was one of his for $34 million

  • is tis really vincent van gogh?

  • @terrissacutter its an actor... we didnt have cameras back then.

    He done a self portrate so that gives us a good idea of what he looked like

  • @terrissacutter  Yes, it is Van Gough. I have one of his paintings - would you like to buy it?

  • I've read 'Lust for Life', it's Vincent's biography by Irving Stone.I love this book,it is written there how it really was.Vincent was too ill to work so he took his life..He lived for the art. Real genius.

  • "Starry Starry Night, Paint your palette blue and grey, look out on a summers day, with eyes that see the darkness in my soul, shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils, catch the breeze and the winter chills.."

  • @Ventana147 You can do some pretty crazy and backwards stuff when you have severe depression. It completely messes with one's inhabitions and can sometimes make people act in a manner that is opposite of their regular demeanor.

  • Vincent Van Gogh had a gift of insight many fail to understand this, He was troubled to understand this gift, Many visions he had seen in his life, But many called him insane, He was not Insane at all, If he had only known what we all know today, He would never had taken his life that day,

  • van gogh. not a good painter, and he made lousy violins aswell? 0r was that stradivarius?(joke sorry) the only painting i like of this bloke, is the one with the crows flying off into the horizen, and you dont have to be very clever to interperet the meaning of crows flying into the horizen, nice colours.

  • @marmoratus There must be something wrong with your eyes then. Not a good painter? You may not like his work, that's a matter of taste (a very poor taste imo) but saying he's not a good painter is insane.

  • if you wonder what are those scene when things look painterly.. one of the many theories is that he saw things the way he has painted them.

  • this si really sad, because when he was alive they didnt take his art seriesly and when he died he was very popular because of his art. and that means he died knowing nobody liked what he did best and thats sad ( sry 4 bad english spelling )

  • life is beautiful..why end that way.

  • the song 'vincent' by don maclean expresses perfectly the torment he went through.

  • 3 things,1 I didnt see da spark when he shot himself,2 why did he cut his ear,3 WHY DID HE SHOOT HIMSELF??!

  • @damormon234 i think he had a painful ear infection, he was also a very lonely man, it may not have mattered that his genius was not recognized, but he was alone with perhaps no prospect of finding love, would'nt that push you to the brink.

  • @damormon234 1.oh 2. He had tinitus, a constant sound in your ear that drives you mad. 3. He was manic depressive.

  • I find this video simple and perfect. I love the use of Van Gogh's intense colors to reflect his state of mind at key moments in the video.

  • exelent acting !

  • ...genie und wahnsinn liegen oft so nahe beisammen .

  • such a great video and great acting

    I too suffer from the Van Gogh's Disease (bipolar disorder), and aspire to be a great artist as well, but i will not have it destroy me like it had done to him.

    Vincent was and always will be my favorite artist and one of the greatest who ever lived.

  • This is how us painters go out, no pills , non hanging from the shower bar, BAM!

    Right to the point!

    Vince had it right.

  • I was never a fan of Van Gogh, but I am intrigued by him and his own self expression from his pain and suffering from clinical depression. I take meds for depression.

  • "solo corto su lobulo, no la oreja completa" look good !

  • 2:00

    I feel the same way about music sometimes

  • Tres touchant

  • grande ma estro igual ami en todos los aspectos pobre melancolico trist y amoroso un artista que vivira siempre

  • I absolutely agree with rebeccamoore100 (2 comments below)

  • can someone please send me a short summary about this man. i really want to know 2PAC WROTE A POEM FOR HIM THATS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT HIM.

  • what was going on in the poor man's head,what a shit life for such a gentle man,i don't think he was mad in any way,just broken.

  • well the story is that he shot himself in the stomache after drawing a painting, then he crawled to his home, was rushed to medical help and that was when the last person to see him was his brother...his whole story is very sad and tragic...

  • My art history professor lectured on him a few days ago. He was rejected by his family and couldn't hold down a proper job. In the end, he botched his suicide and it took him at least a day to die. He told Theo, "See? I can't even do this right.

  • @eiikm Yea, mine told me the same...terrible how his life was so dreadful :[

    didn't he try being a teacher, banker, minister and finally a book store helper?

  • Penso que a angústia tomou conta deste grande artista. Ele é demais. Enxergava muito.

  • huh hij spreekt toch nederlands? toch niet engels? (im speaking dutch) xD

  • he was crazy but a fantastic drawer.

  • artist is pregnant with vision that about to explode

    it doesn't care if its in the wrong time in a wrong place

  • I have the heart of an artist i guess and it is a heavy on ones heart BUT I KNOW its the unfeeling ones who thinkartist heart crazy i know their is many out there who feel this way.

  • When the passion is so profound and entrined with your since of beingand the world cant see youor except this in the norm qf society well you have i totally feel & understand his pain

  • good film, but vincent was left handed (details)

  • HA!

  • i can't watch it...

  • he faked everyone out at the end. I thought he was gonna blow his head off for a hot minute!

  • the gun killed him not the infection

  • He died because of lousy medical care; the infection killed him, not the gun. Also, we have good reason to believe that he had systemic infection and disease, poisoning, etc. which also greatly affected his health physically and mentally. This holds true in any age, for any person.

  • Nice film! The only van Gogh works that I really love are his paintings of shoes ("Potato Eaters" is good too), but I certainly feel sorry for the guy; he had a rough life. Your film portrayed his instability very well, I thought.

  • what's the title of this film? Vincent's Final Moments?

    tnx for posting. i'm fascinated by him!

  • Imagine seeing the world ten times sharper. painfully i think

  • Your comment is interesting, though could you explain it? I'd like to understand it (and I think I've heard of it before, not sure though)

  • V.G. called it flashes. This led him to a higher state of senses. Some sources say, that by feed of paint. It gave creative power and also lead him to insanity... hey, check out his drawings, they are just perfect

  • Hm, sounds a lot like how some painters I've heard about take drugs just for inspiration. I think it may be due to the stress as to why they take them in the first place.

  • i love this film !!

    itt is exciting

  • 4:13pm Friday (CST) - Time in Mississippi, United States of America

  • BIG BIG BIG man!

  • touch me

  • He was so great.

  • It's somewhat unfair that such talent and greatness is most often seen after death.

  • @sk8terGrlM Very true. While you see a masterpiece other's see your work as trash. It's a shame other's can't see thing's the way you do. If only....

  • @NaomiKalah

    Also, artists who create a movement for other artists can't normally be recognized as such until the movement is clear for being so.

    It's actually good that artists take time to be recognized, because it at least helps in preventing glorifying the undeserved. Mass consideration SHOULD take time it if it's to be careful instead of spontaneous and shallow.

  • @sk8terGrlM

    It may not seem fair, but it stands to reason. For starters, when an artist is alive, his work is not done. That applies to the POV of both the artist and observers of his work. Normally, those who appreciate an artist are not doing so around any particular single object but his life's work on the whole.

  • @sk8terGrlM its like an utter disregard for rare talent!

  • what is he saying when he sees the ants? i dont know english very well. could you write it for me please?

  • if you only knew what i know, our labour and sweat is without reward, we're both inevitably doomed to a meaningless end

  • @olekelersilinmez

    If you only knew what I know.

    All our labor and sweat is without reward.

    We are inevitably doomed to a meaningless end.

  • Actually it has been recently said that he didn't cut his own ear: it was Gogan! Eventhough they were not friends anymore, Vicent decided not to blame him.

  • Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear i didn't see the patch for it...

  • He only cut off the bottom of his ear lobe. At about 3min.47 sec. in the video you can see the bottom of his ear is missing.

  • Comment removed

  • @indychase1997

    Actually, he cut off his earlobe and not the entire ear, to be historically correct

  • @indychase1997 and it wasn't noticable when he died (by bandages)

  • that is sad, a poor man just trying to sell his painting, there nice

  • it's an impressive film

  • That was really a well done film... such a truly tortured soul.

  • If you met a person like this today, you would think they're crazy and you'd brush them aside !!!

    SHAME ON ALL OF YOU !!!

  • Why did he died two days later after he killed himself ?!

    This isn't  logical although I very like his paintings.

  • He shot himself in the stomach and did not die immediately. As it states at the end of the film, Vincent died two days later.

  • @extremelyindependent With the medical care we have today, Vincent van Gogh very well could have been saved with surgery ... but they did not have that capability back then .... no antibiotics either .... infections were much more deadly in those days ....

  • @extremelyindependent Guns were not nearly as powerful as they are now.

  • Brilliant - just brilliant

  • Hardest thing for any artist: I have something to give but nobody wants what I have to offer. Counting on how shallow publishing or gallery requirements are as to what is or is not art, what they will accept, and what will sell, as an artist to I feel Vangoghs pain.

  • very very beautiful your words are

  • @thechaz83 His brother funded him his entire life= an overwhelming sense of remorse about never being able to repay his brother, plus his intense religious passions//mental health pains seem to attribute to his sadnesses. He did not get pains from an inability to pay his electricity bill! Get a job, fund yourself to paint or what ever it is you do, then there is no pain! I fund my own passions. If I try very hard maybe I'll earn a crumb from what I create. stop feeling sorry for yourself!

  • Vincent was a true artistic soul. He loved and craved to be loved. When denied it, or feeling as though he would be abandoned, he would go crazy and violent on the person. When anyone opens up to love in this world, it does more harm than good. Vincents childhood was very disturbing for him. Plus no one loving his artistic abilities and being misunderstood is terribly hard to accept. Near the end of his life I'm sure his faith in his own work was declining.

  • what do you know about me???

  • Truly captures the struggling spirit of every artist or writer. This actor captured it very vividly.

  • We wathed this in my art class :) It was really helpful =D

  • To frighten the crows and keep them away apparently.

  • why does he carry a gun around?

  • this'l be great 4 my atr eassy i hav 2 do on van gogh...this is real helpful

  • shouldn't have chewed on those brushes buddy, there is lead in that paint, that isn't good for ya'!

  • :((((((

  • but I could've told you Vincent.... This world was never meant for one as BEAUTIFUL as you...

  • oh thank you, but I kinda like it

  • what a tragic waste of life... let peace be with him...

  • que triste que ya muerto como siempre se le reconocio su talento

  • indeed very sad, and yet that seems to be the case for many artists, starving during their life and then extolled for their brilliance after death

  • And we have not progressed from that today. We still treat our struggling authors with disregard. Artists to.

  • A brilliant and disturbed human being. History won't forget his name.

  • Poor Vincent :(

    My heart weeps

  • Such a tragic end for one who loved so deeply...

  • exellent mini movie, 5 stars
