Laughing and crying
Robin Williams is gone ... and sometimes we forget how great someone was but are reminded when we see their work again. Like this movie (or the silly yet entertaining RV the other week) for example! Yes Williams was an amazing comedian ... but he was also a great dramatic actor! And this movie is a testament to that. I dare you not to cry ... there are so many moments that are touching the heart ... it's just incredible! The first one for me came with the question: "What its her name?" ... so simple yet so effective.
Robin Williams and the supporting cast (with some incredible names to boost nonetheless) elevate this true life story and make it really something worth to watch. It is a love letter to doctors who care ... which hopefully are in the majority rather than the ones who just want to be machines ... as a human being, being a patient is never something that we like to hear about ourselves ... if someone can take that away, especially through laughter ... that is a win-win for everyone! Like this movie is too.
