[@pescaruraduvlad]

​@Kjthelife I doubt that he was thinking about the micro expressions while recording this scene. It is all about Robin's gift of feeling. Of being there, of living the story and let his own soul suffer like his character did. When I look at him I see true pain, anguish, happiness, enthusiasm and those all can't be faked by micro expressions. You need to be willing to expose your soul to all those feelings and then let it speak about the experience. That's a true actor for me. Sorry for the bad english btw.

When I saw this scene the first time, I thought to myself so many of us live and settle for mediocre relationships. I still wonder if there is love as pure as the one described by Robyn Williams. I want that kind of love. This scene breaks me each time.

[@joachimvorbechchristensen3852]

There is love so pure. My wife passed away not 15 months ago, and to have felt, and lost, that love as Robin Williams describes it, is beyond common understanding. To have someone in your life, that you would go through fire and flames for just to see them smile. And that smile would turn away the darkest skies and make the sun shine. Love so powerful, that it could make your day, if you saw them being happy. And who would even give you a smile, when their day was bad. Being each other's angels, and make the rest of the world "disappear", when you saw into their eyes. Don't give up on love, because it really is out there.

[@verejey55]

@Joachim Vorbech Christensen wow. Thank you for this. I didn't know that kind of love existed anymore. I am going through a breakup and I feel that my heart is broken in a million pieces because after 7 years together to find out that this person actually didn't love me and I was so blind by the love I felt for him I excused all his red flags because I wanted him to be my forever home.

[@sneakyalien101]

What I really love about this whole scene is when he says ' to have that love for her and to be there through anything...through cancer' and at that moment(02:40), Will's eye movement looks down and the slight moving his head down, as if he is reflecting on the horrible things he said to Shaun in his office about his wife and his eye movement indicates he is understanding that he has been totally out of line talking about Shaun's wife the way he did and maybe feels a bit bad about it. It is a early indicator that Will has empathy and underneath it all, he is a good guy. The details like that in the scene and the camera operators movement of the camera to capture their expressions is brilliant. Amazing acting from the two of them.

This scene is obviously Robin's moment and clearly the scene that earned him his long overdue deserved Oscar. But, what Damon does toward the end of the monologue when Robin has cut through all his defenses to get to the heart of the matter arriving at this moment of truth heightened reality moment has always gripped me. Matt is doing very minimalist acting giving Robin all the space he needs to cook which he does and is, but then those precise specific moments where Damon maintains his poker face, but his side-eying begins here indicating to us the exact moment in time Robin's character had broken through Will's bullet proof armour and for the first time Will hopelessly attempting to maintain his facade, but desperately trying to read this unlikeliest of sage's face and mannerisms for some sort of hint or clue in how to deal with him, but literally left in a state of discombobulated confusion grasping for a way to process a meriad of emotions bombarding him not the least of which is he has no muscle memory of life experience to draw from in how to handle a situation where he inexplicably he has been outmatched, out played, out psyched by some one he now knows he respects, has hurt, totally misread, but completely has his number and calling him out point after point like some lightening round of This Is Your Life of the Damned. But, most of all, that worst creeping up feeling that all cynics and the jaded have to confront sooner or later if they're lucky: when someone does come along who suddenly does care, is a difference maker, the game changer, but all you know is pain and betrayal and putting up walls as a result so how do you relearn a lifetime of trauma to even begin to trust that gift of help or believe and let into your brutalized soul hope? Its all there in those frantic, darting eyes lost at sea flaling for a life preserver or what to do. Its revieting and a masterclass of minimist acting while giving your scene partner everything they need. These two made movie magic together. Matt got that opportunity. Ben had no scenes with Robin and never got to gave that chance. Nobody ever in the twenty five plus years has ever asked Ben that publicly and I've always wondered how he feels about that.

I love how silent Will is…. He’s truly absorbing each word and for once, he can’t come up with a response. Sean broke him down within 3 minutes.

I’ve probably watched that 20+ times through the years, and it still gets my emotions going! What a work of art! Thank you Robbin. RIP.

[@mandybrice8699]

Rest In Peace, Robin Williams. Miss you! 😇💜💚

One of best scenes of all time in movie history

[@davidhardwick3816]

I've seen this movie dozens of times and this scene gives me goosebumps every time. Absolute magic. RIP Robin Williams. And kudos to you, Matt Damon!

[@JH-ck1nr]

One of my favourite films, one of my favourite actors and one of the best, strongest, emotional scenes ever filmed. RIP Robin.

[@DreamersPathways]

His eyes in this scene convey a whole lifetime of love and loss.

[@combustiblewheelchar]

"god put an angel on earth just for you.. " exactly how i feel about my wife.

[@ilvivente]

God bless you!

When I'm feeling down, I play this scene. It reminds me that life as many twists and turns. Robin Williams is my guiding light. R.i.p my friend. I'm a scared shitless kid.

[@robocop-jh1im]

This really might be the most honest and great acting in a dramatic scene, ever. Robin Williams a true legend.

[@RagingBull-p5m]

I don't know why, but I can't help but cry listening to this.

[@jotilochun80]

I’ve sat upright at the bedside of someone I loved and yes the hospital staff knew that the term ‘visiting hours’ didn’t apply to me. Blessed to have someone to love that hard ❤

[@marshayame]

It's an unbelievable scene, I found myself shaking my head multiple times out of disbelief of how great Robin was.

[@elmermason9685]

This is a great movie. Matt played a great role but I think Robin was the genius in it. The acting world feels empty without him. May he rest in peace. Thank you for this video.

[@jamiephilliplanglois5141]

Robin Williams is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known in creation. Some things cannot be faked even for actors. Things such as beauty and love cannot be faked. May God grant you peace and love and rest in the highest Heaven known to creation Mr. Williams. You have earned your wings🙏🏻😇

[@crimsonskies1445]

The writing perspective with Robins delivery was a brilliant spin on Matt's character.

[@LM085]

Rewatching this masterpiece got me all in the feels. This movie deserved all the awards and recognition. I miss Robin Williams’ genius acting. He truly was more than just a comedian. He knew and truly felt all the characters he played. RIP.

[@ola3100]

Robin Williams could of only played this role. And miss Doubtfire. Incredible actor

[@andrewwillis4911]

Humbly and to this day, one of the most moving, compassionate and Heartfelt dialog in a movie scene that has ever been. 💔

[@vincentarellano9332]

One of the best movie scenes ever! If not the best. Miss you robin

[@grappler240]

Robin Williams was a Genius to other geniuses... and the world is a lesser place with him no longer in it. Godspeed, sir.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

This is truly a great performance from Robin Williams

[@jonathanpeterson1984]

They’ll never top this. It’s absolutely astounding that they did it on their first try. Bravo 👏
