      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 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.

      When you watch the episode; you realise (before bringing Vincent through time) that He (Vincent)... if The Doctor had left after (sadly) defeating the monster
      That Vincent wouldn’t had been “saved”... and probably would’ve gone on a much darker path post-Doctor
      So A: to preserve history including “art history” & B: to be personal
      The Doctor wanted to inspire Vincent, to convince the artist that despite his troubles and the dislike of his local community (of him & his art)
      That one day: people will LOVE his art - wasn’t done to show Vincent that he’d be famous (like a celebrity)
      But that through his art- that Vincent Van Gogh is beloved by the world over
      As (John Simm) The Master said to the Doctor (David Tennant) about his name:
      “The Doctor... the man who makes people better”
      (Said on their phone call conversation)
      And let’s be honest- each of the Doctor’s companions - when compared to the person each was before he met them
      The Doctor does indeed improve their lives - sometimes it becomes a tad negative - like Martha & Micky becoming”soldiers
      But like Captain Jack Harkness leading Torchwood
      Micky & Martha; Sarah Jane & Rose- they chose to defend the Earth in the name of the Doctor
      Not how The Doctor would’ve have planned it
      But he did indeed make them better
      Sorry for going off on a tangent
      But like with Vincent- The Doctor wanted to ensure that Vincent would be “ok” after leaving- hence “breaking the rules” & showing him our love for his art
      Also a BRILLIANT speech from the amazing Bill Nighy!

      It’s not one of the best episodes (depending on your opinion)
      But it’s definitely one of those episodes that you don’t need to “struggle” to get into or to understand
      Please do watch & I hope that you enjoy

      @@WolfietheheroProductions it wasn't the best in that it was a typical boring monster fight, but that was just the carrier for the most profound and heartbreaking message, which is mental health. Sometimes, no matter what, "checking on your friends, showing them you care and how valuable they are to the whole world" still won't save them from the demons living inside their heads.
      But you do it anyway. You do it BECAUSE you love them and their valuable presence.
      I've known a lot of people who felt betrayed by their loved one who committed suicide, they felt like their "efforts were wasted and made no difference so why bother"... but it does make a difference and you should always bother.

      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.

      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 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.

      This is not dissimilar to Kafka - he was not recognized in his time, partially because he didn't pursue putting his work out there as much as he could have, he died young, he loathed his own works, and demanded that his best friend burn everything he left him when he died (I don't remember if he left him most of all of his writing).
      His friend saw them for what they were and went about getting his works published for the world to see.

    As somebody who suffers from depression and a few other mental health issues, this episode hit HARD, because it just hits Van Gogh that he really was beloved and admired, just not by the people around him who refused to see it.
    Take from that a lesson. If you don't fit in and never get treated well despite all your best efforts, often it is not you, it is what is around you. By all means, keep pushing to be better, to be kinder, to be compassionate, but sometimes, no matter how hard it tries, the square peg cannot fit in the round hole, and has to try somewhere else.
    People who will tear you down and mock everything you do won't change if you disappear, or change to suit their desires, they'll just keep doing it. And if you're not there, they'll find another person to do it to. You owe them little, and you only get one shot at life, so don't waste your time being the target for their misery and their hatred at themselves, reflected onto you because it hurts them less to project it rather than acknowledge it is their own issues.

      Vincent Van Gogh was in the habit of occasionally sending crates full of his paintings to his mother for safe keeping. Van Gogh's mother got fed up with having one of the crates hanging around so she took it outside into the garden and BURNED it! I shudder to imagine how many millions and millions she consigned to the flames, had she but known.
      Also Van Gogh, being as poor as a church mouse, could seldom afford models to pose for him. He persuaded his doctor in France to sit for him and presented the picture to him. The doctor did not like it much and for years the painting served as a door for a chicken coop!
      A great deal of Van Gogh's art was destroyed in his lifetime. He was just starting to be recognised as a talent when he so tragically died. There is the theory that he was accidentally shot by some youngsters playing with an old revolver. Certainly a few youngsters in the village did like to torment him. It is possible his death was not actually suicide.

      Or, perhaps he was clawing his way towards the happiness he craved, painting joyful, beautiful things in the hopes of finding meaning, solace and a reason to go on. Having once been suicidal myself, I know something of the struggle to find hope.

      Thank you for doubling down on the emotion of this scene, and now I will NEVER be able to watch it without sobbing. AND thinking of you and hoping you are okay. My Step-sis is named Kimberly.

      DravenGal Aww, thank you 《hug》. I'm very much ok now. Hitting that low point was actually a blessing. I found strength in myself to pull out of that place. It taught me that, if I'm strong enough to beat suicide, I'm strong enough for anything. When you watch this, take some of my strength if you need it to keep the tears at bay.

      Kimberly G. Depression has nothing to do with negativity, it's about something a lot more complex

    I've never watched Dr. Who in my life and probably never will, but ever since I watched this scene quite some time ago, it has stuck with me. Now that I'm reading Dear Theo, a book of Vincent Van Gogh's letters to his brother, I just had to revisit this.
