Movie News : Robin Williams 1951- 2014

Robin Williams 1951 - 2014
He was a Genie a stand up comedian and loved by millions around the world. A man  who made us laugh and let loose in films like Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Morning Vietnam just to name a few. When we were in a bad mood or having a bad day Robin would shine the light of joy and laughter to make it better.He had severe depression and even though he had a difficult illness he tried to stay upbeat. But sadly his illness won the battle and confirmed that he committed suicide reported Tuesday evening . But we shouldn't remember him for his death we should all remember the laughter he brought to our lives when he was stepping up to a mic he dominated the place with his great humor. He was unpredictable when it came to comedy with him you wouldn't know what he would say or do next which was the brilliance of Williams. He is one of the few actors that I have watched that can ad - lib great lines and comedic jokes. Did you know 80% of his lines in Aladdin was improvised.Their are only a few great comedians left out their. Bill Murray,Chevy Chase, and Robin Williams. He was a jack of all trades for an example he won a Oscar for his role in Good Will Hunting. He showed his more serious side of acting in films like Awakenings, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poet's Society. Whatever film he did he would always entertain you no matter what. He will be dearly missed all I have left to say is you are now free Genie. R.I.P
