| Loving Vincent | comment |
Loving Vincent is a feature-length animated film - the first where every frame is a painting. Literally.One year after Vincent van Gogh's death, his friend Joseph Roulin finds a lost letter addressed to Vincent's younger brother, Theo. Joseph gives his son Armand the task of finding Theo and delivering the letter. While trying to complete this assignment, Armand meets many people who were important to Vincent during the painter's last weeks alive and also starts to question whether the accepted story of Vincent's suicide is true.A Polish/British/American collaboration, 125 painters helped to create the thousands of oil paintings necessary to animate this film. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Vincent died too soon, and his death was likely an accident; during his lifetime he received no money or fame for the works that would go on to be priceless and beloved staples of art. However, he nevertheless managed to be an extremely prolific artist and was able to do what he loved and pursue his passion, which is more than most people can say. | |

It's All My Fault | |
| Loving Vincent / int_5ad80bf8 | comment |
It's All My Fault: The Gachets. Dr. Gachet throws Theo's declining health in Vincent's face during a heated argument, saying that having to support Vincent might be driving him into an early death. Gachet thinks this caused Vincent's suicidal mood due to believing everyone would be better off without him. Marguerite believes this because she withdrew from Vincent on her father's advice to stop "distracting" him from his masterpieces. Even if Rene was the shooter, as Armand tries to assure her, Vincent was still only there because of the consuming loneliness that her coldness made worse. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Loving Vincent / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: The general belief is that Vincent killed himself, but Armand picks up various clues that lead him to believe he didn't: Vincent apparently hadn't been planning to end his life due to his ordering more paint, a letter to Armand's father describes Vincent in a calm mood, he would have shot himself in a bizarre place and chose to suffer for hours rather than finish the act, and the angle of the shot was ruled impossible to be a suicide. Dr. Gachet still believes that he committed suicide; however, due to guilt from practically bankrupting his brother and worsening his health. Not that his death made Theo any better... | |

Everybody Smokes: In 19th century France, everyone smokes. Armand, the Gachets, and others all smoke cigarettes. Vincent and Theo van Gogh smoke pipes. Also, Everybody Drinks.

Friend to All Children: Vincent is described as being good with kids, and there's a heartwarming anecdote where he helps a young girl draw a chicken. This may have also contributed to his refusal to name Rene as the shooter, wanting to protect the youth. | |

The Queen's Latin: Though the film is set in France, with almost entirely French characters, the cast is made up of actors from England, Ireland, and Scotland, who mostly use their native accents.note Saorise Ronan is an exception, as she uses RP rather than her Irish accent, possibly to emphasize the Gachets' position in town. They also say Vincent’s last name in the British pronunciation “Van Goff� rather than the Dutch pronunciation “Van Hoh�. | |

Death by Despair: Pere Tanguy says this happened to Theo: after Vincent's death, he lost his will to live, and not even his infant son could rouse him back to life. In real life, one of the causes of his death was listed as sadness. According to Paul Gachet, Theo had tertiary-stage syphilis, which meant that any form of shock - physical, emotional, or financial - could prove too much for him. | |

| Loving Vincent / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Armand had a lifelong career in the army, Adeline married a local innkeeper, and Marguerite remained unmarried and lived in her father's house for the rest of her life, keeping Vincent's painting of her for decades. Rene, on his deathbed, admitted that he tormented Van Gogh, but claims Vincent stole his gun to kill himself. | |

Ink-Suit Actor | |
| Loving Vincent / int_b8dbbc07 | comment |
Ink-Suit Actor: The characters in the film resemble Van Gogh's portraits (which, of course, portrayed real people), but also strongly resemble their actors. Marguerite Gachet, in particular, more closely resembles Saoirse Ronan than her real-life counterpart. | |

Cloud Cuckoolander: Doctor Mazery is a little goofy, though he does import some critical information about Vincent's death. Adeline describes Vincent as being somewhat eccentric, insisting on painting while it was raining, but overall a nice man. | |

Red Herring | |
| Loving Vincent / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Armand suspects that Vincent's relationship with Marguerite and his later argument with Dr. Gachet led to his suicide, but Marguerite reveals later that Vincent didn't have serious feelings for her. As for Dr. Gachet, the clues Armand gathers from others initially lead him to suspect Gachet of covering up the truth for some reason of his own. Further conversation reveals, however, that Gachet is convinced it was suicide because of his guilt. Armand delivers the letter into his care. | |

Exact Words: Marguerite declares that she doesn't go in for village gossip. Later, when she asks Armand about his fight, and he reminds her of that statement, she tells him that's one reason people employ servants—to get gossip for them. | |
