what really nailed me on that episode

Posted by Remlik (aka remlik) Oct 17 '11, 13:21

was knowing Van Gogh's fate and the fact he wouldn't remember this really as his madness descended...but at least he would have a sense of something positive...

I think my problem is that they played Van Gogh as passive and sweet. but the energy from his paintings is frantic. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:34 7
- He was bi-polar/manic-depressive. He wasn't ALWAYS frantic. In fact the episode opens with him (spoils) - TWuG Oct 17, 13:40 6
  - When you know a famous artist well, you feel you know things about their personality. Like with musicians. I would not expect Sid Vicious - loosilu Oct 17, 13:43 4
    - he's been a favorite of mine since childhood, and I probably know more about him than any other artist. it felt fine to me. - b. Oct 17, 13:48
    - You saw 3 days of his life in the episode. You're telling me the guy you know didn't have 3 days where he wasn't a complete manic obsessive asshat? -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 13:45 2
      - you win. Everything about hte episode was perfect. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:47 1
        
        oh, I see. nevermind. -- nm - b. Oct 17, 13:49
  - right, he wasn't passive and sweet throughout. -- nm - b. Oct 17, 13:42
