    I recall watching the opera Wozzeck.
    Scary stuff.
    From the way I see it, Expressionism was like the echo of all the screams of the dying in the first World War.

      He's also severely butchering the name Van Gogh. If you asked for what he's saying in the Netherlands, you'd just get a bag of liquorice. Venco is a popular brand. Don't people do any research before making a video?

      @@Marco_Onyxheart buddy chill. Crash course does a lot if research for every episode. Just because he doesnt say "VAHN GAUCGH" or however you pronounce it, doesnt mean the facts he presents about the man are wrong. Thats a fallacy in itself.
