Larry and Sergey starting Google

[@chrisVNZ]

The production values on this video are next level. Well done

[@Newsthink]

Thanks! But sadly, video isn't doing well. I hope in the long run it'll pick up views

[@DamonPlantaseed]

This should be a film

[@Newsthink]

I think a series will be coming out!

[@DamonPlantaseed]

@@Newsthink I’ll be looking out!

[@stirringthepot81]

Agreed! And with that fantasy ending of taking Van Gogh into the future to see his museum but with Jo and Theo, too!❤❤❤

[@zhizn_snake]

There is a great Van Gogh film called "Lust for Life", but I guess Jo's story would be the sequel to it.

[@llydrsn]

Another unsung hero: Emily Dickinson's sister Lavinia. Without her, Dickinson's poems never would have been shown to the world (although there were a few published during her lifetime).

[@Ziaonfilmandtv]

Jo was a real one!
She took the love she had for her husband, brother in law, and art and dedicated her life to championing Vincent and his work.
A love letter of sorts. ❤

[@jameswilson5165]

Wow! This needs to be shown to anyone who suffers from depression. What a wonderful story. And yes, DO see that Dr Who episode. And not missed was the reference to AI recreating some of what 'could' be the scene of his art exhibits.

[@TexRenner]

Thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful and important person.

[@per619]

Your video's are such high quality and interesting. I'm still a great admirer.

[@crangel2183]

We appreciate the animations and narration style in your videos, Cindy! Happy new years

[@MattThomas321]

It was never proven he shot himself.

[@MrGoo514]

Super video. Thank you @Newsthink

[@JeffreyBue_imtxsmoke]

5:55 - I guess she was a "capitalist" after all :)

[@BrianCarney-nn1nb]

Brilliance at its height.

[@OweEyeSea]

Loved that Dr Who episode.

[@sharonpaoletta226]

1:39 watch the film "Loving Vincent".. it is believed, by some, that he was murdered, that he did not shoot himself. 4:41

[@st.charlesstreet9876]

Your post are the best🎉 I will continue to share!

[@sbarash64]

Amazing work. I see a Netflix documentary coming...

[@MJyoutubechannel23]

What happened to the video of John Paulson? I just tried to show someone and it’s been deleted.

[@astreafontana8345]

thank you

[@wertwuio283]

Could you do a video on Navinder Singh Sarao? Thanks.

[@sammypwn6732]

Do a video on Larry and Sergey starting Google

[@LuckyRose5109]

I hope someone will make the movie about her, Theo, their son and anyone supporting Van Goh.

[@user-oc1ew6qm8c]

I'm convinced one of the worst things that ever happened to Vincent was meeting/moving in with Gauguin. It can't be a coincidence that that event was the negative turning event in his life.

[@koklead7904]

LOL Cindy you missed the golden opportunity to promote the fantastic "investment" Masterworks

[@Bloodborne11639]

Vincent had a great family

[@rose_clips]

This is amazing. Thanks.
I hope you'll cover Filipino heroes like Jose Rizal. Thanks

[@Non-Existence3]

Hahhahahhahahahahahahahhaahhahahaha😂😂😅😂😅😅😅 No need! Theres nothing special about Jose Rizal. And Filipino History is full of Bullshit

[@ronaldofabiano2353]

Women. We need you. ❤

[@JosedeJezeus]

She made that B faaaamous

[@scottw11354]

She deserves a plaque sonewhere

[@bigshotgangster]

okay, there is no way you’re using AI art in a video about a struggling artist

[@jamesmichaeljean7840]

He didn't shot himself, his old gun trigger went off when he drop his gun and got shot.

[@hoseamapondera]

It feels like a superhero movie! She worked so hard racing against time to get the Van Gogh name out there! Certainly one of greatest stories ever told! Deserves a movie!

[@sophiefu7]

first comment!

[@eartheartbaratheon791]

It took a hefty amount of advertising to turn shit into gold.

[@roucoupse]

You mispronounce "en" in St-Remy-the-Provence.

[@HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx]

Gambling debts 😮

[@user-iz3ux6rd4e]

Is this AI voice?
