      Nah, he hid a fear of people behind the smile, never let them get to close by keeping everything on the surface with jokes. I understand he only dropped that around his kids, because he didn't feel threatened by them.
      And he wasn't sad or depressed. He had a degenerative illness, kind of like what Bruce Willis is going through right now. And he didn't want to live through all of that. My mom let herself die rather than live with Multiple Sclerosis, which is an entirely manageable condition. Depressed? No. She was pissed off that she was sick.

    At 1:32, it almost sounds like Auto-Tune, but give the time this was made it probably was some sort of vocoder or perhaps extreme noise reduction used for artistic effect.

      Autotune tech is not new, it's just that the general package called "AutoTune" has existed since 1996/1997. Overall, pitch correction tech itself has been around much longer, since at least the 70's, with rudimentary methods utilized before that.

      As much as I adore Robin Williams and Joan Cusack in the film... their singing is, um, bad in an technically acoustic sense ;)
      It works in the scene, but not so much as a stand-alone song.
      BTW: This song is operating on like 5 different levels. The old Shakespeare "play within a play" but dialed up to 11.

      Well back then with enough cocaine and possibly ecstasy and being at a certain age this movie could have quite been very influential to somebody's art in their future especially if they became a musician or some kind of artist I do remember some crazy awesome scenery in the film but I also thought it was quite lousy LMAO but you got to hand it to Thomas Dolby for being a badass musician no matter how you look at it. Everybody should listen to the songs he did for the soundtrack to a CGI film called the gate to the Mind's Eye. Possibly the greatest score ever put to any film
