This was a handful of years back. Basquiat's movie... (a Julian Schnabel painting/direction)... is about the legendary "struggle", "rise and fall", and eventual... "rise to glory" of an "extraordinary talent". Which by the way, always makes for a great story. (At least for me). But I think it was the idea that no matter what we do, we all... at one time or another, feel the disconnect from the rest. (For whatever reason). But, the root of our confidence feeds from how we choose to perceive our lives, and not how we are expected... to exist.
Basquiat's real human struggle, on a personal level or otherwise, remains as potent today, as that moment right after the credits started to role. If your not familiar... might be worth your while to check 'em out!

Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist and the first artist of African descent to become an international art star. His career in art began as a graffiti artist in New York City, and in the 1980s produced Neo-expressionist painting. Basquiat died due to a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988, at the age of 27. -Wikipedia
