The prince he speaks of here is himself. Prince = Basquiat. The Warlock that imprisons the prince is Basquiat's addiction. Warlock = Addiction. The crown the prince wore was Basquiat's art, his spirit, and his beauty. Crown = Basquiat's Art. Think of that and watch it again.
@josh2josh The warlock is not addiction, the warlock is the power structure that expolited him and forced him to keep making art so they could make money off him. It represents the promotoers, brokers, and gallery owners, not addiction. It represents the society that he hated, that he mocked, and made him so uneasy with being a "star". Talking about the real life Basquiat, that is what it means. The movie Basquait is not quite accurate, yet well played.
@vintagedeath He´s the reason why I got into art school and now I discover that I´m a artist to. May God bless the spitrit of Baskiat, for ever, only God and those who understang the spirit of Baskiat can understand his art. his art will live for ever as well as his spirit.
volevo sapere se di questa parte c'è la versione ni italiano

Addiction has nothing to do with this.

@youngbuck189 I may have been putting my own interpretation/experience on the warlock. I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for that.

This makes me want to cry. That something could be so beautiful it would make you grab at the air.

Great ending and metaphoric since Basquiat is just casually walking oblivious as to one of his friends struggling with three oversized shopping bags.

man, if you could have sat there in that bar in Derry, with my Dad, and feel the history coming thru the wood into your bones.
We just had tea actually :) That was a good afternoon with my dad. Walking thru Derry.
