He’s the type of actor to make you forget he’s acting
Up there with Obama
@@idriscam that's a GD actor Hollywood but only save the universe from his supporters
Great movie.
DeluxeFalcon, you’re pretty well spot on👍
It's always such a treat to see and hear Robin act so seriously. He has a certain depth that isn't easy to find
The best part of this scene is he is smart enough to shut up and listen.
@@HUNDREDACREWOOD. many parts throughout the movie you would see Will constantly interrupt with some joke, or some saying.. but not here, every movie scene in all movies are well thought out, especially this one. Will now realizes something, he doesn't know it all. He really is still a kid.
@@HUNDREDACREWOOD. i believe he was just referencing the movie not ever single movie out there. He probably just miswrote
@@HUNDREDACREWOOD. i think he just miswrote but if you wanna believe that there actually is someone dumb enough to say that exists then so be it. Good day to you as well
When the student is ready the teacher will appear.
STONEFREE Debbie downer loser you are
This scene completely encapsulates the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Absolutely brilliant!
Well said~
Under appreciated comment
@@danielschoeman5427 love your comment
Never thought about it like that before! - well said!
This can apply to both kids and adults but more commonly to kids who think they know better.
It's scenes like this that make you really miss Robin Williams. What an actor. What a man. May you rest in peace, Sir.🙏
These are the times when you really ask yourself.....was he acting?
Unless he was hung by someone else he isn’t resting in peace for the rest of eternity. May GOD go easy on his soul. In JESUS name amen.
@@thankyouJESUSkingofkingshe can rest in peace if your god is a merciful one as you claim.
@@Lyke_A_Glove One can only hope, as they do.
I was 24 when I first watched this. I always thought he was a comedian. You made me laugh and cry. RIP Chief
I don't care what anyone says, this is the best monologue in cinema.
Nessa Cristina Have to agree with you there champ.
Ending monologue from Paris,Texas are topnotch
Straight facts
Agreed
Agreed - the backing music only comes in at the end which allows the watcher to be moved purely by the words alone. Robin has a Morgan Freeman style voice - his monologue in this, Awakenings and Patch Adams shows us what a truly gifted individual we have so sadly lost.
"Cause the doctors could see in your eyes that the term visiting hours don't apply to you." What an incredibly heavy line.
That line hits me like a well aimed house brick. Every time. Harder after I lost my mom to cancer...
@@parasiteunit I'm sorry to hear about your mom❤️
The only fault in that line is that it should have said Nurses instead.
@@bluesummers5051 Hey. You're the problem.
@@thomasmitchell4128 What, why? :O
And to think a 22 year old and 24 year old wrote this entire script. Deep stuff
Just Matt Damon. Ben affleck was too busy smoking pot and jerking off
If I recall correctly Williams ad-libbed a lot of this scene.
@@evilblackcat6357 maybe. I wouldn't doubt it. You know he would have had creative room to do it too
A lot of Damon/Affleck’s screenplay set the stage for this scene, but in terms of the exact dialogue, the director, producers, actors, any advisors, and some scriptwriters all have a say and influence before they actually put it to film.
“You don’t know about real loss, cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself”
The whole scene encapsulates wisdom vs intelligence.
"You've never spent all your life re-watching this scene over and over on KZhead because it's a masterpiece, have you chief?"
Time to get a life chief!
@@slickster2880 Time to go fuck yourself chief.
No, you haven't
@@tehf00n best come back ive seen all day
@@brianclass1988 That doesn't say a lot to be fair. All day? How many "come backs" did you see in 24 hours? That said, tehf00n's response was juvenile.
This scene made me realize life is about experiences not things.
You realized something few ever will, and many far too late.
and you probably still blow your money on stupid material items
@@captainahab8741 In fact, we're using said stupid material items to post these comments.
@@captainahab8741, I actually sold everything and left the U.S. with only two suitcases. Trying to live my best life, and I don't miss the things at all.
I think it's all subjective. The definitions of "experiences" and "just material things" can vary dramatically from person to person. When I was younger I used to party every weekend, "going out with friends". But I wasn't really having fun, enjoying the experience. I was doing it because of peer pressure, because that's what I was supposed to be doing at that time. Now I look back and I wish I could've invested that time in "just material things" such as watching a movie I like, reading a book or playing a video game. Life is about what you make of it, not anything in particular.
He won his Academy Award with this scene, beautiful acting
One take and kills it. yeah
This is one of if not the best scenes in cinematic history. The way Robin Williams delivers this monologue, not overacting it at all, how the camera doesn’t pan to Matt Damon until the point is made. Truly genius.
We are over good cinema. It's done man. What do we have now? The fricken minions is considered a masterpiece when they are facing buzz wokelord and the woman king oxymoron. Civilization is on a downturn of eniltenmemt.
Its highly unrealistic
@@BKDDY it is?
@@BKDDY is it though?
@@BKDDYIt Is cinema, not a fucking documentary. Of course It Is unrealistic. You need to learn two or three things about movies and acting.
You don't know the heartbreaking, desperate pain of a man who lost his kids in a nasty divorce and has to dress up as a plump, old Scottish nanny to spend time with them, do you, chief?
This got me good
Ooohhhhhhhh hellllllllloooooooo
Not his finest moment
a squiiirtttt of frostingdownyourthroathelpsyoutakeyourmedication...in the most delicious way! 🎶
His accent was a bit off... but still 100 times better than most Americans attempts at our accents
The brilliance of this scene is that Sean throws Will’s words back at him, the words Will used earlier to put the arrogant Harvard student in his place, but on a deeper level. Will asked the Harvard student if he was “going to plagiarize the whole book, or does he have an original thought of his own?” Sean is now asking Will, “Are you going to plagiarize a bunch of books, or do you have an original experience, an original life, of your own?”
Not really mane The bar scene was because that guy was plagiarizing and trying to call out his friend you can’t learn certain things/life situation through books…..Yeah they give you that info but certain things you have to experience physically not by what’s right just because a book says love this person this way Rob said “the doctors seeing you hold her hands even though those visiting hours don’t apply to you” something like that …..
@@classicjay1880 the point is Robin humbles Matt here like Matt humbled the Harvard student
@@jophismarch6108 your move, chief
@@classicjay1880 The point is, the Harvard student was repeating what he read from books, and Will thought that was dumb. Then Will realised he does the same when it comes to a multitude of topics that require experience to truly understand. It was the perfect wake up call.
@@alightthatnevergoesout ^^ Succinctness.
Williams nails this scene, but credit has to be also given to the script. This is the moment that reveals to everyone why Sean is in his own league compared to all the other psychiatrists who had tried to work with Will before him. No one else has previously seen through Will’s hard shell like Sean does, and Will is clearly totally unprepared for that. He is left speechless, and that is the painful but necessary first step towards his mental healing. It’s a brilliantly written piece, and both Williams and Damon make it an unforgettable moment.
Credit was given in the form of an Oscar
film writers and film editors r the overlooked engineers behind the big screen flawless motion..
I think Damon and Affleck wrote this movie or am I wrong?
@@dylan321000 yes, and apparently, well researched character analysis and workshopped every scene and plot structure as a whole.
Like #500, sellisti.
25 years later and I still consider this to be one of the most well written monologues in film history. No one can tell me otherwise. And Robin’s delivery, oh man.... I still refuse to believe he’s gone 😢
Yes. And it was done in one shot, no cuts.
A monologue which made a real difference to peoples lives. The power of cinema!
He's not gone. His impact lives in on in all of us. no one needs to hear any of this 'hes gone' bullshit
@@jesserochon3103 Gone physically. Jesus!
Refuse to be told otherwise. Refuse to believe he is gone. What else you refusin??
Difference between Intelligence and Wisdom.
A definite article is needed here.
Boom. Best comment.
More like knowledge and experience.
@@damsen978 Wisdom comes from experience tho.
@@juantsu2000 Tru
"You're an orphan right? You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are because I read Oliver Twist?" mic drop.
Rawest moment in the entire scene.
Honestly maybe the strongest defense he could have leveled at Will there, for all his booksmarts and perception. He sees right through the facade.
You can literally see the realization on Wills face when he said that. The "oh shit, he's right, knowing everything doesn't mean I know everything" Amazing acting from Damon
That was the End Game right there. He could have just said that and it was over
I literally was in the grave as soon as he said that xD
My God, man. Robin Williams is truely a genius. I can only appreciate his majesty as an adult. Phenomenal.
This scene can basically be summarized as Sean telling Will, "You may know so much, but you have never lived." Brilliant.
One of the main points of Sean's speech: "You read about life. I lived it."
Wow. That's deep man. Good articulation
Steven Morton Dammit kid, you are so right
If we made it a hard rule that we should only talk about things we've lived and understand, instead of speaking about things we've read about and have no clue on, 99% of the conversations on the world wide web would cease overnight lol!
@@iorekby speak for yourself, I generally don't talk about things I don't know about. You must have really uninformed conversations
@@stephengrigg5988 He said 99% of the conversation. Obviously there's exceptions implicit in that. By saying what you said you've just undermined your entire point because you spoke without understanding the implicit exception 😂
“You’ve never dressed up as a woman, trying to see your kids, have you chief? Gives you a pain in the back it does.”
😂✌️
Lol
Looool this is the comment of the century
It took me a sec fuckin dead lmao
Lmao
"You dont know about real loss, 'cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much." I think these were truly the words that broke through Will's defenses. He realizes that his past traumas have led him to live a life without meaningful connections, distanced from the world. Hands down one of the best scenes in movie history. The delivery from Robin Williams, the subtlety in Matt Damon's eyes darting back and forth with unease as he's being dissected by Sean, masterful. A timeless classic.
He’s terrified of what he might say.
It's a great scene, that is for sure. I have never seen this film. Clips from the movie have been popping up in my recommendations. I am thinking about watching it.
To be fair, he probably did love his friends. And he would have done anything for them just like they'd do anything for him.
This was Robin Williams' very best performance of his career. A well deserved Oscar. RIP Robin.
Every time I see this, I think... ... "Holy shit, Robin Williams was absolutely perfect in this movie."
Yes, he will remain a great actor...
Maybe why his award for it?
Absolutely perfect. It wouldnt have worked any other way. Absolute genius in this film. Just wow
Both of them.
hes always perfect if you open your mind
The only weapon more powerful than genius: Wisdom.
Actual experience..
Pat Gogan a.k.a wisdom...
True indeed. Wisdom will always supersede intellectuals. Most intellectuals are arrogant (like Will is here in this scene) and prideful, which is ignorant and blind.
Sex appeal more powerful than wisdom or intelligence. Hulk Hogan lacks both, and look at him.
All wisdom is fear of the Lord.
"Because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you." Love that part.
Best scene ever in a movie.
I've never actually been absolutely floored by a scene before. After this was finished I literally said wow out loud. Couldn't even help myself. Good god this scene is magnificent
Yea I came joe, I came
yup.
Don’t use Gods name in vain
“You’ve never been stuck inside a board game for 26 years, have you chief? Waiting in the jungle hoping to God someone will roll a 5 or 8. Your move sport...” lol 😂

Lol Jumanji reference
So happy you used “your” correctly.
In the jungle you must wait...
The majority of the comments praise Williams for his acting in this scene and he nailed it, for sure. What’s even more impressive is that the speech he gives to “Will” is actually written by that cocky kid sitting next to him.
Anyone could have written it. But onky a few could potray it like Robin
@@michelleauville3991 you couldn't have written it dummy.
@@hofhdskfhdks nice try dumbfuck
@@michelleauville3991 @hofhdskfhdks both of you shut the FUCK up
@@michelleauville3991 wrong.
One element I love about this scene is the way the camera slowly brings in Will at 2:16 . You get lost watching and listening to Sean, and almost forget that Will is there, and Sean is talking to you instead. Then you remember that Will is there and see that he is as motionless and still as you are. Robin Williams, you were so good and are very much missed.
the older i get, the more real this monologue is.
It really does hit different. I'm still young, and it wasn't that long ago that I would refuse to step foot in a museum, or even travel abroad, because "there isn't anything there that I can't see on the internet." I'm not even 30 and I'm already starting to regret shutting myself off to so many experiences.
@banoly4161 You are still rather young and still living. You can still end up doing some of the things you mention. God says the same. It ain't over yet. The world will put a timetable on things and cause you to feel like you can't accomplish something if you haven't done so by a certain age, but that isn't accurate at all. The best is yet to come. Choose to live while you can with no regrets in Jesus' name.
@@banoly4161 Don't beat yourself up. Maybe it just wasn't the time, and now it is,.
I think that is one of the most perfect movie scenes in cinematic history.
*Fantastic writing, and perfect delivery from the actors,* but the core of cinema is the *camera* , and there's so much more that can be done with it, and the sound, and the lighting and set design and the visual effects than a blurry pond. See any CineFix list to get an inkling of that
And Damon and Affleck supposedly wrote these words??? LOL!! GTFO!!🤣
@Ryan Hughes I concur.
This was shot on location not a set. You can feel the realness which is part of what makes it all work so well.
@@thelaurels13 why didn't I concur
This is one of the reasons we were so hurt about robin. Every role he plays. It’s like a father figure. He’s there for you. He was your movie father. Only celeb ive ever cried about when they died. RIP Robin.
So TRUE!!!!
My father went to prison when I was four years old and the last memory I had of him was watching the Popeye movie that starred Robin Williams. Eventually I forgot what he looked like and somehow thought he looked like Robin after watching a bunch of his movies. Years later I saw my dad again, looked nothing like the guy. Your comment reminded me of that.
the world def got a little darker when he passed. At least we still got tom hanks who's basically like a step father figure
I still cry for Robin. May he RIP.
Robin Willams, the most gifted man in the world, gone too soon, RIP
If Robin hadn’t had won an Oscar for this movie, nobody should ever win an Oscar. Robin, Matt and Ben; BRAVO! on creating greatness. I still tear up every time I see this scene.
this has to be one of the best acting scenes robin williams has ever done and possibly for any movie i have ever seen 11/10 good job
Robin’s eyes … they can make u forget he’s acting while u watching them. We miss you Robin
yes we miss you Robin, gone too soon
Indeed, it looks as real as it gets
Based on a real life a real person in a real world with a real life the realest you've ever seen possibly
For real! I almost forgot this was a scene out of a movie for a minute, I was literally entranced with everything he said. Amazing acting skills for sure.
The way he looks at Will after “you may have even been laid a few times” pure yearning.
What's really interesting is that earlier, in the bar scene with that private school guy Clark, Will accused him of having no original thoughts on the matter--that every thought he had could have been from the library. And now, Williams' character exposes that this is also the case with Will. Awesome scene.
Small dose of his own medicine
Lol not very many people picked up on that Abdul I was actually about to write similar when I saw your comment
Wow saw this movie a hundred times and never even thought about that.... Thanks 👍
"BOOM!", said the gentleman.. well said..
He really was just projecting.
The camera. Sliding across to Will. Like a giant tonne of weight. Beautifully done. One of Cinema’s greatest scenes. Pure art.
I like how at the beginning of this scene, Will is cocky and ready to "do mock therapy" on the therapist again, but then, in the space of a single shot, the only voice and face we hear for most of it is Sean's as he points out to Will that his intellectual armor, snark, and tough attitude are just defense mechanisms he's using to keep from being truly vulnerable with another person. And then, slowly, the single shot reveals Will's face as he's suddenly speechless for the first time in the movie. He has no comeback. "You're terrified of what you might say." Sean makes Will speechless not because Sean is trying to intimidate Will in order to "win an argument," as Will did with the asshole grad student earlier. He makes Will speechless because he surprises him with genuine care for who Will is as a person and sees through all his intellectual posturing and bravado. He even acknowledges that no one can truly know the "depths" of Will, even though Will thought he could get inside Sean's head earlier.
Exactly. He's simply saying, "I see you" and Will is left speechless.
This right here is acting. Not just memorizing lines. He uses subtle facial expressions, real emotion. You know that somewhere deep inside there was real pain. You can see it in his eyes. He wasn't just saying his lines. He truly believed it.
Literally nobody thinks acting is just "memorizing lines," you idiot. Stop inventing fictional opinions to rise above.

One of the greatest scenes in motion picture history. This film is a masterpiece.
“motion picture history” You could have just said movie history you pretentious ass
Matt Damon's cocky demeanor into submissive humility was simply amazing. Robin RIP
And a testament to Matt's ability to adapt and flow
Matt Damon is the actor, he is playing a character. It's called a movie. It's a story based on things people experience and go through. Not sure if you know this concept, clearly from your comment.
@@davidkingfisherfitness2761 Jesus calm down. They are only complimenting Matt Damon's great acting.
Agreed. Not every movie I’ve seen Matt in is awesome, but this particular scene shows he’s got the chops for acting. You can feel his disdain in the beginning and his humility in the end.
Note that the first 3 minutes are one single take. One take of Robin Williams putting on the kind of acting that rightfully got him an Oscar for this role. Three minutes of acting perfection. RIP You beautiful man. You will always be missed.
trapper439 It wasn't just a single take, it was the FIRST take! Incredible acting.
It makes me cry it's so perfect.
How do u no 1 take and first take
One take = shot without interruption or without going to another shot. First take = first time they filmed the scene
I noticed that too. And you are absolutely correct
This scene together with "You owe it to me" are two masterful pieces of dialog.
A man's love keeps him safe
Brilliant: Sean used the same tactic that Will used on him in order to try and push Sean away. But the difference is that Sean used it in order to show his own vulnerability - sharing personal things about himself (making the first move in order to establish trust) while simultaneously letting him that, "Yeah, you ain't gettin rid of me THAT easily" when he ends by saying, "Your move, chief." We applaud Robin Williams acting and execution of this scene, and rightfully so. However I think we often forget that this story/script was written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon when they were around the ages of "25". To have that kinda incite at that age in order to write something so moving is also a testament to their own talent. I LOVE this movie.
Robin Williams was so freaking talented. This scene felt so genuine, almost like he was talking to Matt Damon instead of reading lines from a script.
He could not remember his lines from a script they had the words in front of him on a TV screen
David White I doubt this very much
Great actors like Williams draw from personal experience, he isn’t just reading lines, he is living the moment with experience from his own personal hardships and triumphs.

One of the greatest scenes of all time
And the first three minutes are one shot. Robin Williams just knocking it out of the park.
Ditto
In one of the greatest movies of all time.
makes you listen and learn
I agree 100%.
This movie is amazing. Shows the truth about how older people have so much more perspective and knowledge in life, even if the younger person is an absolute genius. And Will realizes this the more he talks to Robin Williams character in the movie and that’s why he respects him so much. Will thought he was ripping apart Robin Williams life but actually it was the opposite. The doctor absolutely ripped Wills life apart and was 100% on point about everything. I could watch this movie over and over and over again. “Your move, Chief”. Brilliant dialogue.
not really. if will hadn't gotten therapy thirty years later he still wouldn't have any more life perspective than he currently does. age per se does not produce wisdom.
One of the best films I’ve ever seen. Robin Williams was perfect for this role.
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I think he's one of the more underrated actors in the business.
"I don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared shitless kid." This line helped me grow up. Great writing, acting, directing and production. Bravo.
myslef as well
same!
I really think Robin's true calling was being a serious actor, the comedian part was just to make us laugh and release out his internal turmoil.
Aditya Khandekar yeah, his catharsis
Totally agree.
A lot of coke back then...after sobriety he became a much better actor
He was a brilliant person but have you notice that a lot of his movie roles were characters that were troubled? (Robin Williams)
The most troubled people are the ones that cover it the most, laughter is a good tool to cover up deep, depressive emotions.
If there is one saving grace about losing such an incredible talent and human being, at the very LEAST, he gave us scenes like this. RIP Robin, my dad still remembers meeting you while you were filming Garp.
Robin Williams was a legendary actor. We were privileged to see his work.
Maybe the single best acting moment of Robin Williams career.
I believe this 5 minute speech won Robin an Oscar
It's prob easily the most iconic. I also love his 'I Remember' scene from Hook, and the closing interview from One Hour Photo that tells a whole origin story in three minutes.
100%
I think we can all agree this is the best 5 minutes of Robin
Together with the murder description on the phone from "Insomnia".
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon was so clever when they wrote this epic, wonderful story. And they were so young! I think this is a masterpiece of their life!

A true masterpiece of cinema. The writing, the acting, the editing, the sound, the lighting, the subtle music score. The whole scene is a masterclass in cinema.
Fr
I love this scene. One of my favorite parts is how patient the editors were with the cuts. We see nothing but robin Williams for like the first 2 minutes straight, then a minute on Matt Damon. So many editors would have cut after every line or show a reaction or something. The pacing is just so intimate this way.
“I bet you don’t know what it’s like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy” Why you gotta violate me like that, man? 🙁
😂😂
Will got 40 years of wisdom in 5 minutes. Even his genius brain couldn't handle that level of depth.
it's more than that. Will is a guy who's never met his intellectual match. in and out of foster care and the court system his whole life, i'm sure he's probably dealt with more than a fair share of counselors, prob-e's, and shrinks. all of them with their degrees can't match wits. when he walks into this guys office, he's looking at the same waste of time he's dealt with from day one. break them until they quit so he can remain king of shit mountain. it's not 40 yrs of wisdom just dropped into this kids lap that he doesn't know how to handle, it's the realization that this guy can take the haymaker, and give it right back. being the smartest guy in the roomful of townie drunks is easy, but back against the emotional wall against a guy with 40yrs wisdom who's showing his cards. Will is floored how this guy can see through the shit and still wants another round. this some Joe Campbell shit. not a fuckin TED talk.

But gently. That's why it's so effective. Had it been with fist swinging or a battle of wits there's no way Will would have sat there listening. It's an amazing scene.

"And I doubt you've ever dared to Love anybody that much".
This scene ripped my fucking life apaht
Thanks for typing it out, I didn't hear it loud and clear in the video when he said it.
Exactly! why do people type out the exact words to a verse to a song, as if it's some sort of epiphany? Don't they have any original thoughts?
@@edmundmcgrath213 Because the artist said something, they could never have said better themselves?
If Robin Williams, and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, had never done another thing in their careers, this would still have been more than enough.
the beer can.
Yes and general Lambo too
This was my favourite film growing up. I watched it 10 years later and cried even harder, even knowing every line. For anyone lost they can see themselves in Will and anyone who has lost can see themselves in Sean.
The editing is superb in this scene. The focus on Robin while he's delivering his lines lends more weight to this scene. Love it.
I love how the camera stayed on Robin for a good two minutes without cutting. The words are excellent, but the way he says them with his eyes makes it so much more powerful. One of the best actors I’ve ever seen, and one I miss even 7 years later. This is my favorite monologue I've seen in a film. Such a poignant bit of dialogue
indeed, its a perfect long take. letting the actor, act
His pacing and control of intention through facial expression took over. I bet they had another cut of Damon’s reactions but they probably were blown away by Robin and kept it static
@@totoroid I feel like it was intentional. The camera slowly pans to include Will, and I think it was supposed to visually show Sean's words cracking his defenses. I haven't watched the movie in a while so I don't quite remember the chronological order, but given that it started to pan when Sean was talking about love, it might be after Will met Skylar.
@@Zaichata Perfect, grat.
I miss him too
This is the best scene in the whole movie. The way that Robin discusses that life should be enjoyed not by just reading book. That proved that Robin should be silly and serious in all dimensions, which is what makes his passing hard to bear. His talent will never be topped.
So the implication is that this lesson is best learned by experiencing it yourself, not watching a youtube clip :)
The “It’s not your fault” scene is tied with this scene. The movie itself is just incredible.
He was even better in his serious roles.
I love this scene because sometimes, or most times, people who attack us are actually afraid or scared of their truth. Very realistic.
An incredible movie with Robin murdering it! His best work honestly.

Itty bitty living space
I thought Will Smith did great in the remake
@BRAGGLEFRAGLE why
Plen122 he did
This is so much more than just acting. Even after so many years not seeing it, it strikes to the very core of my being.
Pemz agree with you. I watched this movie ten years back, enjoyed the movie but it took me a while to understand the depth of it! When i watched it again after few years it made all sesnse and it invoked my emotions to the core! Robin Williams you genius!
....it is fact edited from one take, the other shots were there to emphasize Will's reaction, in those shots Robin Williams isn't saying anything
500th like from me :) nice words
The first guy who realized Robbin Williams isn't good just for comedy has a very special place in Heaven. And in our hearts.
This is the difference between "fake it till you make it" and raw authenticity. Such a wonderful depiction of actual psychotherapy, which involves respect for the fact that we can never really know or assume what it's like to be someone else. But we can try to help in a way based on our own experiences.
Robin Williams was one of a kind....he melted my cold heart with this speech.
May he rest in paradise
He....did...it....ALL. Nothing left to do but suffer physically then die. So he chose to die without the suffering.
I miss him so much. An extraordinary person. Not just incredibly funny, but an advanced brain underneath it all.
@Dick Thick'em Didn't even know the autopsy report was available to read, but I'll certainly take your advice. Such a sad story. By suffering, I was referring to his Lewy body dementia.
I’m pretty sure this scene alone got him his Oscar. Well deserved, regardless.
For supporting role winners it's often boils to one mesmerizing scene that earns the nod/win. I always think of Jack Parlance's 'One Thing' scene from City Slickers and almost all of Viola Davis's noms were for one scene killers lol
@@carle7626 You really think so? I think there's more to it. Jack Lemmon stole the show in "Mr Roberts". And Red Buttons shocked me with his serious somber demeanor in "Sayonara". No,I think a winner for Supporting Actor deals with their overall performance in the movie.
This scene was used for Robin's nomination at the 1998 Oscars, so you're not far off
Robin always had the best monologues. I don’t even know him but I miss him.
Sean slaps him down harder than anyone ever has with a calm demeanor and immensely heavy words. It's amazing how when we're late teens early 20s we thought we were hot shit, when in reality we didn't have a damn clue about life.
After 24 years, this is why the movie will never get old. Robin Williams a man who know both pain and pleasure. Not as easy as it looks to turn it off and on. Thank you Robin, for your compassion and your timeless performance.
thank you Robin for your amazing acting you had a God given gift.RIP
You’ll never be forgotten Robin Williams. 😢😢
The little subtle eye movements from Will. At first he is cocky and sure of himself and then when Sean mentions Cancer, you see Will's eyes look downward because it is that moment he understands just how out of order he was talking about Sean's wife (when he first met Sean). The whole scene is absolutely brilliant and to think Matt Damon wrote it when he was very young - he must be a very inciteful and intelligent person. At that age I did not know my ass from my elbow (I Still don't lol). Great acting and great scripts.
I watched this movie as a kid. Loved it. Watching as an adult with four kids of my own, one a certified genius himself...takes on such a deeper meaning. This movie is so transcendent. Robin Williams: the hero we didn't deserve. RIP
Robin William became immortalized as one of the titans of cinema with this scene. The true genius of this scene is that it doesn't feel like he is acting. I haven't been able to watch a movie of his fully since his death because his movies truly touched me and resonated with me through my formative years. I think as an audience we were unbelievably lucky to be gifted with his talents and will always be thankful for the legacy he left.
JonathanK28 I sometimes wish I could have been his friend , I don't know . robin williams was a good dude.
JonathanK28 RV was a shit film
His acting is genius and iconic
"You're not perfect sport.. and let me save you the suspense.. this girl you met she isn't perfect either.. but the question is... whether or not you're perfect for each other" (sighs) I miss Robin
"my wife used to fart when she was nervous, she had all these wonderful liberties.. One night it was so loud it woke the Dog up."

The way Robin holds on to the New England accent in such an incredibly emotional scene is what’s amazing to me
Beautiful. The part that got me was when he says, “you’re terrified of what you would say.” But tells him he wants to hear it and to know who he truly is. That’s healing to hear! We have to let ourselves be loved and to love.
classic wisdom vs. intelligence.

Philosophy vs Knowledge
Wisdom is a derivative of intelligence. It took a level of tact to approach will with his rebuttal. Intelligence is quick with a response, but given time, wisdom will win the war.
You don't get wisdom without experience and intelligence

What a talent! Robin Williams was one of a kind. A genius at comedy and such moving and genuine performances in dramas.
Robin Williams was a talented genius
Probably not the same Robert Wagner, but this commented reminded me of a "Rip Torn" line from the movie, "Defending Your Life". When he explains to the Albert Brooks, character, that everybody on earth uses between 2 and 5% of their brains. He goes on to explain, that if you used more than 5% of your brain, you wouldn't be happy on earth. Being a fatalist, I tend towards believing that Robin Williams' time here was just up.
But you do understand that everyone uses 100% of their brains, right? If there's a part of your brain that doesn't get used, it atrophies and you lose it. This 5% or 10% trope that hollywood loves to perpetuate is nothing but nonsense.
Robert Wagner too bad geniuses are to smart too handle reality

Comedians are incredible actors because they must know about timing. Timing is everything!
one of the best moments in cinema ever !
Agree

This scene is what won him the Academy Award.
