    "ROBIN WILLIAMS" was on COMEDIC LEVEL altogether different and beyond this universe! And all of his peers/contemporaries knew it!! There wasn't ANY situation he couldn't turn into COMEDY - ON THE SPOT!! The same with his DRAMATIC MOVIE ROLES!! AND he was so humble!!! He is dearly missed!!!!!!! ❤

      @@bodenlosedosenhose1590 I guess it was that lady with a bit weight who Robin told that he can't resist to keep going with inventing funny stuff on the spot when he gets a laugh like that. At another moment in the same interview he said as a joke that she's about to pass out whilst looking at her. She laughed without pause and you were a bit worried because she tried to stop laughing but couldn't because Robin produced one gag after the other in microseconds. If you also have seen the interview than you probably agree with me that it must have been her that needed medical help.

      Robin Williams and Tony Bennett had the touch of greatness laid before them and it is beautiful in ways of gloriousness... Being so in tuned and quite aware of the audience and putting on a performance so well we can hardly imagine them being i'll at all. But now we know without any doubt about it they both were seriously i'll and were dying in front of us. But they both held on to life using their skills as a life preserver to the point of no return. One chose life as is and one chose death ending life and having the final word, the final decision... May they both be at rest now...R.I.P...

    It was Robin William' passing that got me finally to seek therapy again two weeks ago. I was really thinking that I should "do it" without medication and treatment, and I now know that medication and treatment are essential for me. I will miss Robin's work and public presence. Always loved him as a public celebrity. Always will.

    He is remembered by most people for his comedic genius. I was always blown away at the intense roles in his drama films. I wondered if he took on those roles when he was in a depressive state of mind. In the Fisher King, there is a scene where he falls apart and the devastation he portrays is so powerful it's a bit overwhelming. Also, the movie "What Dreams may Come" will rip your heart out and leave you in a pool of tears.

    • @SowingSeedsWithChristy
      @SowingSeedsWithChristy Рік тому +5

      Yes! I've never known anyone who's mentioned that movie (What Dreams May Come). Yet it is such a profound movie with such a powerful message. Of course, he was great in Good Morning, Vietnam, and a movie, Patch Adams, another little- acclaimed, great movie. He could access any emotion as an actor and could hold a moment in a scene so well. Just gripping. A true talent! And a great heart. I used to love watching him and Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg collaborate, spontaneously. I can hear him now throwing out absolute beauties about today's politics! He'd have a field day! ❤

A really funny man on stage but apparently was subject to bouts of depression in his personal life. It's great that much of his inventiveness was captured on video for all to see.
