    • @pescaruraduvlad
      @pescaruraduvlad Год назад +28

      ​@Kjthelife I doubt that he was thinking about the micro expressions while recording this scene. It is all about Robin's gift of feeling. Of being there, of living the story and let his own soul suffer like his character did. When I look at him I see true pain, anguish, happiness, enthusiasm and those all can't be faked by micro expressions. You need to be willing to expose your soul to all those feelings and then let it speak about the experience. That's a true actor for me.

      There is love so pure. My wife passed away not 15 months ago, and to have felt, and lost, that love as Robin Williams describes it, is beyond common understanding. To have someone in your life, that you would go through fire and flames for just to see them smile. And that smile would turn away the darkest skies and make the sun shine. Love so powerful, that it could make your day, if you saw them being happy. And who would even give you a smile, when their day was bad. Being each other's angels, and make the rest of the world "disappear", when you saw into their eyes. Don't give up on love, because it really is out there.

      Just imagine what this world would look like if we all just stopped in our tracks for a moment because it was imperative that we listen to another brother or sister going through suffering. If we all took turns to take care of each other when someone was depressed, or something else. My grandpa was a medicine man (we are Diné) and he told me a long time ago, this is how we used to take care of each other. But it's lost now. There some other cultures as well thst practiced this, I think it's where "moral therapy" originated. Either way, this world would be a truly connected world.

    @pablosonic892 Год назад +82

    This scene is obviously Robin's moment and clearly the scene that earned him his long overdue deserved Oscar. But, what Damon does toward the end of the monologue when Robin has cut through all his defenses to get to the heart of the matter arriving at this moment of truth heightened reality moment has always gripped me. Matt is doing very minimalist acting giving Robin all the space he needs to cook which he does and is, but then those precise specific moments where Damon maintains his poker face, but his side-eying begins here indicating to us the exact moment in time Robin's character had broken through Will's bullet proof armour and for the first time Will hopelessly attempting to maintain his facade, but desperately trying to read this unlikeliest of sage's face and mannerisms for some sort of hint or clue in how to deal with him, but literally left in a state of discombobulated confusion grasping for a way to process a meriad of emotions bombarding him not the least of which is he has no muscle memory of life experience to draw from in how to handle a situation where he inexplicably he has been outmatched, out played, out psyched by some one he now knows he respects, has hurt, totally misread, but completely has his number and calling him out point after point like some lightening round of This Is Your Life of the Damned. But, most of all, that worst creeping up feeling that all cynics and the jaded have to confront sooner or later if they're lucky: when someone does come along who suddenly does care, is a difference maker, the game changer, but all you know is pain and betrayal and putting up walls as a result so how do you relearn a lifetime of trauma to even begin to trust that gift of help or believe and let into your brutalized soul hope? Its all there in those frantic, darting eyes lost at sea flaling for a life preserver or what to do. Its revieting and a masterclass of minimist acting while giving your scene partner everything they need. These two made movie magic together. Matt got that opportunity. Ben had no scenes with Robin and never got to gave that chance. Nobody ever in the twenty five plus years has ever asked Ben that publicly and I've always wondered how he feels about that.

    This scene will forever speak to me. So many lessons in it. It teaches you about love and it teaches you about judging others. Despite how intelligent you are, or what your story is, how can you judge the human experience another has gone through by just looks or a brief interaction with them? Truly miss Robin Williams brilliance on the screen. I’ve never watched a pivotal moment in a movie and had it feel so real and make me evaluate how I treat others every times I see it. Love this movie

      May I try to change your mind? I recommend Mass (2021). It's mostly four people talking in an almost empty room. Nothing to carry the film except its excellent script (that, dare I say, rivals Good Will Huntings') and the actors' acting skills.

    You can see the moment it stops becoming acting when robin Williams states the phrase " i see a cocky scared shitless kid" in his eyes! his eyelids drop maybe 1-3 centimeters and the light disappears, but you see the difference between intelligence vs experience! Amazing beautiful acting that shows the depth and honesty between existence itself. you can see the actors weren't just acting but in their own eyes and heart they understood it was so much deeper than what would be explained!

    As I have looked back on the many successes of Robin, I see someone as grounded and desirous of showing the human spirit. That is a very special talent that few bring to the screen. This monologue exemplifies the talent of Robin and his extraordinary work. It’s sad he’s gone, RHIP.

    I loved this man & I miss him every day. He was so good in this film, he turned a very predictable story into an unforgettable moment in cinema history. Robin Williams was remarkably without the ego that far too many " actors " have. And here, in a key moment, he is both therapist, & friend to a troubled kid . And in the process, Will begins to see Sean as someone he can & must, listen to, for once in his life. Legendary scene. -----MJL, 77 y/o

  • @L_Martin

    We all yearn for a mentor like this. Even really hard case dysfunctional kids or criminals or whatever - everyone putting on a tough act and being destructive to themselves and others, just crying out for such a mentor. Unfortunately though, oftentimes even when confronted with such a mentor as Sean here, some people would be so damaged, they would be incapable of recognising the wisdom Sean is imparting and might even just interrupt him and say "F off". Some people get so lost they can't even hear wisdom being gifted to them.

    And to think the man sitting next to him on that bench, the one he was talking to, was, at the time, a 27-year-old man who co-wrote that brilliant screenplay with his costar and friend. That said, there are certain monologues, especially those out of Robin's mouth, that are so heartfelt and brilliant, that they can make you think, "Was this in the script or is this coming from him?"

    I love RW anyway, but this showed what a truly gifted performer he was. Flawless at comedy (obvs) but my word he could do deep, serious & emotional to a special level when he needed to. Up there with the greats in my opinion. In fact just Googled it and he’s #16 on IMDb greatest actress ever list. Well deserved in my opinion. Miss him a lot

Telling 6 times it's not his fault and then emotionally crys it hits me hard inside that Will needed that Male Role Model for guidance and inspiration for a better life. 💪❤ WILL POWER

      I think that lesson of male bonding is so important. Hollywood tries to emulate it, but often falls short. Men are deeply emotional and those bonds they establish early in life make them the men they are. The importance of mentorship can’t be underestimated.

They'll leave loved one on the first obstacle. Does it even matter if it happens on first or 150th obstacle? Love is just what Robin explained here. It's only true when you love someone more than yourself.
