One of the latest films starring Robin Williams, delivering another great performance. This time he is playing a complex man full of mistakes and flaws, trying to fix his errors before finding death. Certainly not a story for so many laughs, but it is, after everything that happened in real life with the main actor, a touching movie.
In the late 1960s, Hunter Adams attempted suicide. At the time, he was disillusioned with the direction of his life and depression hit him hard. He decided to check himself into a sanatorium. It was there that he realized that his destiny in life was to be a doctor, treating patients in an unconventional way. This is the delicate dramedy 'Patch Adams' that focuses on this figure, one of the most interesting works of Robin Williams ('Dead Poets Society'). Directed by Tom Shadyac ('Bruce Almighty'), the feature film shows that doctors do not always have to have the same cold and distant attitude in consultations and, especially, treatments. For this, Williams bets on a light interpretation, understanding how each gesture on the screen can impact the viewer. A movie to rethink medicine with more humor and joy.
This movie's story is amazing in its own right, born in the minds of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon when they were still unknown. Thus came one of the great films of the 1990s, with memorable performances by Damon and Robin Williams in a rich and interesting drama. It's no surprise that 'Good Will Hunting' gave an Oscar to the pair of young screenwriters, in addition to the Best ing Actor statue for Williams.
Watch at home
Where can we find resistance? How to resist authoritarianism, excessive conservatism? In 'Dead Poets Society', all this can be found in books and in the classroom. With outstanding performances by Robin Williams ('Mrs. Doubtfire'), Robert Sean Leonard ('Dr. House') and Ethan Hawke ('Before Sunrise'), the feature film hits the mark in showing the reaction of a group of students from a boarding school to the not-so-traditional methods of English teacher John Keating (Williams). Transformative, poetic and powerful, the movie helps the viewer to see life from a new perspective. Absolute highlight for a scene between Williams and Hawke, where the then young actor learns to liberate his "inner self" and for the final scene, full of meanings and that has given a tightness in the heart after Williams' death.
One of the most beloved Disney movies. And it's no wonder. 'Aladdin', with its grandiose music and memorable characters, has been etched in the minds of generations due to its powerful romantic story combined with an adventure that gets anyone excited. In addition, Disney made an interesting foray into the Middle East, bringing tones of skins and ethnicities that had been forgotten until then. Absolute highlight for the voice work of Robin Williams as Genie, in a role in the actor's career that was forever marked -- even receiving a special award at the Golden Globe.
