Watching Robin Williams movies was a memorable part of my childhood. My first Robin flick was Aladdin. I
was fascinated by the Genie and loved him to the core. So much so that I
insisted on having a blue genie cake, a genie school bag and getting genie
merchandise from everywhere. It was every kid’s fantasy to have a funny wish granting
genie as their best friend. It was later
that I realized Genie was Genie only because of Robin Williams and his awesome
sense of humor. Even the role was specifically written for him and only he
could pull it off like the way he did. He just knew the right things to say at
the right time. He was “wonderful! magnificent! glorious! and punctual!” So
many jokes that didnt make sense to me as a child now seem so hilarious that I
must recommend all of you to re-watch this master piece!
Mr. Williams has definitely
been a favorite part of our childhood memories, with hits like Mrs. Doubtfire, Patch
Adams, Good Morning,
Vietnam etc. Another great movie was the Dead Poets Society with
Robin at his best. He plays the role of an inspiring teacher who ignites the
love of poetry among his students and teaches them to live spontaneously.
"Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives
extraordinary" is one of the most inspiring quotes from his movies. He was
brilliant in playing the utterly hiarious nanny in Mrs. Doubtfire. He touched
hearts with his role of a loving father who would give up everything for his
children. Other hits like Good Will Hunting, Jumanji, The Bicentenial Man and
many more are all reminders of how versatile an actor he was.
Despite
brining happiness to people all over the world, Robin himself suffered from
depression. And that is what ultimately took his life. He bought a certain energy and realism to all his
performances. He played a prominent role in bringing fun and happiness
to our childhood and has created lasting memories with his mesmerizing
performances which will always be cherished.
