The death of Robin Williams has abruptly closed the career of some of the most
popular comedians of cinema for all audiences of the eighties and nineties. Williams, whose greatest talent was his capacity for improvisation , was able to adapt his
natural tendency to histrionics to the mold of the Hollywood family
tragicomedy. A
little bit in plans: this guy is an extravagant and crazy, but he is a
wonderful crazy. Ladies
and gentlemen, with you,Get Robin Williams
Good Morning Vietnam (1987)
A
locutory joker DJ who encourages troops
in Vietnam. The
film that made the actor a worldwide famous face. And even more important, the one that marked in the
popular imaginary the archetype Williams: a funny man who uses the humor to
throw small challenges to the authority, but also is able to give a dramatic turn if the humanistic conflict of the film requires it.
The Dead Poets Club (1989)
Without any doubt, the
actor's most iconic film (not necessarily the best, but the most viewed, most projected on television and the most imitated and even parody ). This story of
friendship between a teacher and his pupils, who pines against the
narrow-mindedness of an educational institution, not only discovered to the
world the dramatic solvency of a comedian (Williams), but became a lever of a
new layer of Hollywood actors ( Ethan Hawke and company).
Mrs. Doubt fire (1991)
It is not at all strange that
one of the actor's most iconic characters was one in which he appeared disguised as a woman . Or when transvestism allows you to take out the story
you carry inside. And always for a good cause: disguise yourself as extravagant Scottish nanny to spend more time with
your children. Williams
in its purest form.
The Fisher King (1991)
Third Oscar nomination for a
film in which two friends of the spread: Terry Gilliam and Robin Williams. Or the hallucinated bum
convinced that the Holy Grail is on New York's Fifth Avenue. Delirious visions for a
better world.
Good Will Hunting (1997)
The duo Damon / Williams is
put under the orders of Gus Van Sant to make an update of the rebel student
/ sympathetic teacher relationship. Oscar to the best
script for Damon and Ben Affleck and Oscar to the best secondary actor for
Williams.
A Cage of Crickets (1996)
Williams untied. One of the
first films that took the cultural mainstream of a gay couple into the mainstream
family to adapt to normalcy (via the tumultuous closet). In a way we
are before the quintessence of Williams: exaggerated humor and humanism,
asracanada and to know how to live. Visit our site for
