I still miss Robin williams in 2024 no one will ever replace him

[@charlirenner193]

Rest in peace, Robin. You really were taken from us too soon. 😢

[@AndyBluebear]

Of course nobody can replace him. Nobody can replace anyone. We are all unique individuals, nobody can be replaced.

[@GalinhoFC]

As soon as I saw Based on True Story I knew the movie was gonna break me. So glad I watched it, really makes you appreciate life and everything you take for granted. A true masterpiece

[@deletelater736]

I watched the film, then the documentary, and I'm currently reading the awakenings. Oliver Sacks is the most thoughtful, kind and caring person I've ever seen. His books and this film have changed me as a person. 10/10 would recommend

[@kebylynn]

I read his book titled “Gratitude” which I think was one of his last works. Very moving.

[@d.k.1394]

He really was a wonderful man. May he Rest in Peace.

This is the greatest movie of all time. I love you Robin Williams.

[@BIG-ld7ld]

I just rewatched this movie and it still hits the same. What a classic

[@o.portista]

What a great movie, done by two legendary actors. This film was said to be Williams top favourite film he enjoyed being apart of, same thing for De Niro. The film literally touches your heart, and teaches you the value of life and how many people take it for granted. God bless Williams and Oliver Sacks. Two heros in a better place now. It's also amazing how Williams a few years later would battle a similar brain trauma/disease. Theres no words that can fully describe this movie. Astonishing. I could say the part that hit me the most was when Leonard had said he counden't read anymore, and how he told his lover that it was his final time seeing her, like holy there is so much that could be said about the film, just you can't describe it, you can only see the film for yourself. God bless Williams, Sacks and all those patients who had suffered, and battled. Legends. Such an under-rated film.

[@mikeyoungblood94]

Don’t forget the brilliant work Julie Kavner did in the supporting role!

[@mohammadsaif5808]

I SWEAR, I HAVE WATCHED THIS FILM TODAY AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. THERE WERE TEARS IN MY EYES WHEN LEANARDO WAS DANCING WITH HIS GIRL. BEAUTIFUL MOVIE❤

[@theonetruesarauniya]

Same. Is it strange to still grieve him at times. I hadn't been able to look at him or watch him without getting a lump in my throat. It really felt like losing a family member.

[@TheholyTarot]

I always believed that those in mental institutions are never meant to be there, they are people with a connection to the 5D but we simply see them as crazy they just see what we don’t, we must love them with the bottom of our heart!

[@rachelspaulding8686]

I remember watching AWAKENINGS with my nanna (grandma) and a good friend of mine. My friend told me after the movie, " I will never forget that movie". He was so shaken.

[@OVianense]

The Awakening by far is one of the most deep heart felted movies I have ever watched even while writing this you just feel this sensation of sadness but also happiness as if you're on a Rollercoaster of emotions. One moment you're happy for the fight that he had, and how he was finally awakened with that beautiful smile he had, being able to move, checking out the bench he first carved his name, met the love of his life but the other just sadness about how he, himself, knew that it wasn't going to last forever and how he couldn't go for his walk.. the only walk he would've had by himself.. but knew that it was risky. There's honestly so much you can talk about the film, you just have to watch it yourself. I just love it how the girl still kept on visiting him and talking to him that's soul mates right there even I can somewhat relate to what happened in the movie which thank God I fully recovered from but its honestly personal a true fight indeed. You'll never find Doctors like him in this world anymore. One that cares for you, one that believes in you no matter what others say or if he's put down for it, one that has faith in you and if you do its rare. Not just that but I have to say Robert Di Niro and Robin Williams are both incredible actors, superb performances by far the greatest actors of all time especially how they both were so into the character, you can really tell they loved it and how dedicated they were almost as if it was them or how they, themselves, wanted to be like them. This is a true story about inspiration about not giving up no matter what and always fighting the fight that you hope & dream for in order to succeed - the fight of life. What hit me hard was when he wanted to walk to be honest, and how he managed to get the emotions of everyone by calling the Doctor in the middle of the night to tell him that we need to remind the people of this world to take granted of life, not the other way around. To live life, to appericate life as he does since he was locked up for the past 40 years in his own world while also fighting it. God bless Robin Williams... God bless.. Robert Di Niro and Leonard Low... especially the real life doctor where you can tell he truly cared about his patients and guess what? So did the patients themselves where they would even remind the Doctor to take care of himself. Another thing that made me deeply emotional is how he couldnt read anymore, and how he just wanted to take life granted. To exprience things on his own without there having to be someone there to monitor him so that he can feel the world that he always wanted to feel especially the girl he loved most... and the doctor he truly thanked. So many countless moments that you can talk about that hit your heart spot on. God bless all these patients, the doctors, Lennard and how nobody knew that even Robin Williams would suffer from a similar disease. It was also his favorite movie to act in since the human brain is just awe & extraordinary same thing with Robert Di Niro. You just have to watch the movie and apperciate what the doctor did to all these patients. Speechless right now, you ever have that feeling where you just can't describe it almost as if its a bundle of emotions of joy, sadness, happiness and etc? Because that's what I'm expressing right now. My favorite movie indeed & the best movie ever. Like my motto has been since I was kid live life to the fullest and always celebrate the day like its your last. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@mohammadsaif5808]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. ONE OF THE BEST FILMS I HAVE EVER WATCHED....

[@AuntBibby]

the doctor in real life, his name was oliver sacks, not Leonard low. i dont know why they changed the name for robin... oliver died a few years back but his books on neurology are astounding... great reads... they describe things that make this movie seem like the most normal, clichéd thing in the world... the brain, and its nerves and cord, it really can be different or injured or altered in any way imaginable, and many Many MANY ways that cant be imagined by any brain other than the one experiencing it itself

[@rootwalkers2947]

I remember watching this movie when I was a teenager, I loved it but couldn't really relate to it. And then I re-watched it recently, after having a hemorragic stroke at 39, suddenly and without any warnings (was very healthy all my life), after I couldn't feel and properly move left side of my whole body. Leonard speaking in the movie about "taking things for granted and being able to simply go out for a walk" sounds differently now, I can relate to it now. Thank God I am back on my feet, doing much better now, even though I still suffer every day from neuropathy I developed after stroke, I am happy that I can just go out for a walk, a thing I never though to appreciate before. Whoever took time to read it, I wish you strong health and happiness, all the other problems seem to be nothing when you develop health issues. I already forgot what it feels like to live for 5 minutes without any neurophatic pain, going to bed in pain and waking up in pain. Months in pain, every day, every minute and every second. Be healthy friends!!!

[@anthonynasti1279]

What an amazing film! Powerful, haunting, bittersweet, funny and ultimately life affirming. An instant favorite of mine. Williams was incredible, probably my favorite of all his dramatic roles. His natural warmth and compassion really shines in this role. And De Niro is wonderful as such a pure and vulnerable character. It baffles me he did this, Goodfellas and Cape Fear in the course of a year. Back when he still acted and gave his all to his craft. Just a beautiful film.

[@macabree5856]

I was drawn to this movie because of the two main stars as I hadn't heard of the movie before and I'm so glad I watched it. Masters of their art and directed so delicately and powerfully. Quentin Tarantino remains correct of Robert De Niro being the greatest actor of his generation. His talents were always matched by Robin though
