CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Patch (Robin Williams) has a conversation with Arthur (Harold Gould), who gives him his nickname.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The fact-based story of an unconventional physician who attempted to heal patients with laughter, based on his own book and mixing equal doses of scatological humor and pathos. Robin Williams stars as Hunter Adams, a troubled young man who commits himself to a mental institution in the late 1960s. His experiences there convince Adams to become a doctor, and he enrolls in medical school, where he is appalled at the cold, clinical professionalism that alienates patients from their caregivers. Determined to provide emotional and spiritual relief as well as medicine, Adams clowns around for his patients, getting to know them personally. Although his efforts seem to work wonders and the hospital nursing staff is grateful for the levity Adams provides, his methods alienate his uptight roommate Mitch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) as well as the staff and faculty of his school. Adams perseveres, however, even starting his own low-cost rural clinic called the Gesundheit Institute, and wooing a pretty fellow student, Carin (Monica Potter). Tragedy strikes, and Adams' career is put in jeopardy, forcing him to defend his style and philosophy before a board of jurists determined to bar him from practicing medicine. Patch Adams (1998) was produced by former M*A*S*H (1972-83) star Mike Farrell, who met the real-life Adams when the offbeat doctor served as an advisor to the actor's popular TV series.

"See what everyone else chooses not to see, out of fear or conformity or laziness. See the world anew, each day." Love that line.

[@TraustiGeir]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@JoeBee9]

My favourite line in the movie and VERY true to life. Mainstream media and politicians always try and force everyone to view everything from some narrow minded perspective but there is always more to life and the world around us than meets the eye.

[@dkupke]

Its truth

[@benthejrporter]

Me too! :-)

[@Noah-wx7fm]

I was reading this while he was saying it, and I was waiting for him to say, "love that line." Lol

[@DarkWarden041]

I miss when movies were so wholesome. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the crazy Action/Sci-fi/Fantasy stuff much as anyone. But the amount of Heart and Soul that went into movies like this are sorely missed

[@alphacat6881]

Happy 71st Robin Williams. You are missed! Rest in peace.

[@kroakie4]

I have always loved this scene. It’s so simple but it’s so poignant. Patch fixing that cup symbolized him fixing a broken part of that man’s heart.

[@railnut8453]

And fixing his own broken heart. Until that point he didn’t have a direction to go in his life and Arthur gave him that direction.

[@motorcycleislife8296]

I finaly figured out the meaning of this scene. Arthur was looked at as crazy because he ran around telling people how many fingers do you see. The staff made him out as a "problem" because that's what they saw him as and that's why he was sent to a psych ward when in reality Arthur was a genius. Patch fixing Arthur's cup was a metaphor of him not judging Arthur and being more understanding."Look beyond the fingers" Rudy, Patch's roommate in the psych ward was the same way, don't judge a book by its cover. Rudy saw squirrels. Patch didn't judge Rudy and helped him use the bathroom by understanding him, instead of just giving him a shot or "treatment" Patch later used that knowledge to look at things differently in the medical field and being open minded with patients and understanding, rather than just "treating them" "You treat a disease you win or lose, you treat a person I gareentee you win" - Patch Adams

[@motorcycleislife8296]

@Chris Scotian look beyond the fingers see a new each day

[@StealthMode3924]

He also saw them as people, not homework, or just patients. He is one of those doctors that didn’t lose any humanity or lack proper bedside manner.

[@jpaxonreyes]

​@@aidenorcutt1738 - Who is the "he" you were talking about.

[@aidenorcutt1738]

@@jpaxonreyes There was a now deleted comment on here talking about the Nostalgia Critic and how he didn’t understand the meaning behind the scene

[@chasemartin7713]

It’s interesting, Arthur knows he isn’t crazy and seems to be perfectly happy there. Sometimes it gets exhausting having to accept “truths” that you know in your heart are false, and sometimes u just decide you don’t care if other people know what u know, u just know u want to know more of u. A mental institution is, after all, a perfectly safe and sane place to hide from the world, if you look at it like that.

NEVER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS LOOK AT THE SOULUTION.

[@blueheaven4838]

To arrive at a solution you need to know or define the problem.

[@jimmymackinnon8474]

I don’t see the solution.

[@thebrightdiamondtp7871]

I always will love that line.

[@Seadog7981]

To find a solution you need to understand the problem.

[@crisjonsin17]

"See you around...Patch." Robin's smile right after that line is one of my favorites in any of his movies. I'm gonna miss it. This is a great scene. Great movie.

[@kathyhertzog2004]

Why?

[@afridijames2295]

I loved my favorite actor and comic

[@lou15162328]

*dont focus on the problem..,look beyond it* RIP Robin Williams!T-T

[@CharlieZuko]

I like how he says 8 is A good answer, not THE right answer. Meaning everyone may see something different and they’d all be right, as long as its more than 4.

[@Warrior1Spartan]

I only saw this film completely one time, and that was when it came out. I was eight years old at the time. I forgot a lot of what was in this movie over the years, but I distinctly remembered this part. Sadly, I wanted to write a letter to Robin Williams telling him how he inspired me with this scene but never got the chance to. That's something I'll always hurt for. But the fact that, at one time, he inspired me to look at things differently is his legacy to humanity, and that should never be forgotten. R.I.P. Mr. Williams

[@2hog4]

From a mathematics point of view this makes sense. Sometimes to find a solution you need to explore other methodologies. Too many people seemed to have over-analyzed this line. Not focusing on the problem doesn't mean ignoring it all together (that's stupid), just simply not rely on the cookie-cut method all the time. That's my interpretation at least.

[@jsmithmultimediatech]

Break the rules to find new ones its yeah I'd say

[@feardotcm4651]

There is more than one method to find a solution 😉

[@skybot9998]

Thinking outside the box,perhaps.

[@leeroquemore8713]

By focusing on the solution you can fix the problem. This is actually the very foundation of algebra. 💎

[@Jackzay90]

He’s also specifically asking “how many fingers do you see?” Not “how many fingers are there?”

[@Vector7707]

When i heard about robin williams passing, this is the first thing that popped into my head.

[@bigst05]

It's great means his movies touched you in some deep memories

There is not a sane person on this earth who would say that's bad.

robin oh robin wiilams why did you have leave us we all miss you i love this movie

[@INFJames]

This scene was utterly profound to a friend of mine while they were tripping balls on mescaline that it reduced them to tears and opened their heart. When he says to look beyond the fingers it was interpreted as, look beyond the ego personality projection and see the soul. Nothing can hurt you when you stop identifying with the ego and see the "other self" in the seat of the soul in all its magnificence, regardless of how repulsive the personality complex it's portraying might be. It might not be the intention of the director but it was enlightening

[@c5d53g2e]

I can't stop crying

[@ftc174]

This is one of my favorites or Robin Williams.

"it is like a finger pointing to the heavens. dont focus on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."

I can't find it on youtube, but Harold Gould gave a speech about love and "staying around" during the first season of the tv sitcom, Soap, that should have won him an Emmy.

Harold Gould. Awesome actor. He had a wonderful scene in a show called Soap with a young Billy Crystal. He talks about his late wives and continuing to hope for love.

May Zak, Zelda, and Codey find peace in their hearts and wholly accept that enormous legacy that their father has left in their hands... Robin made a truly indelible mark on this modern society. I will miss him and I send my condolences to his kids and the rest of the Williams family. May Robin attain a fortunate human rebirth, one that is imbued with so much joy, spiritual practice and deep development of inner-strength, and artistic creativity, once again touching the lives of hundreds of millions around the world. #RobinWilliams was fabulous troubadour and a genius of an actor.

[@Proteus2905]

Every life lost is a tragic event for humanity. That counts for Mr. Williams as well. I wonder what went through his mind in all the years. From what I unterstand, there was some deep stuff in his thoughts. May he rest in peace. He will be missed. At least by me. People with deep thoughts on their minds are a rare phenomenon.

[@chadrasmussen1154]

Y'know, this is kind of a new spin on the part in 1984 where O'Brian tortures Winston Smith into seeing however many fingers he tells him to see. The thing is, THE FINGERS ARE NOT A PROBLEM...THEY ARE JUST THERE!

[@anjanikumar6742]

That smile in the end is contagious.

[@2011dkv]

The way I interpreted this scene was that Arthur felt that no one would be able to understand the lesson about the fingers. To understand the problem and then to think outside then box and find the solution. Then Patch seeing the leaking cup in Arthur’s room (something Arthur did not have a solution for) and then creates a patch for it. Arthur then realizes that there is more to Patch, believes he is bright, and teaches him his way of seeing the world

[@fishn2death]

As I watched this movie one day this scene caused me to have a bit of an epiphany of sorts. To me the cup was Arthur's heart which had a small hole in it and hope had drained out of it. When Hunter "patched " his cup he actually mended his heart and caused him to have hope again because he realized Hunter looked passed the hole in the cup and just saw the solution . Who knows what others saw but ...that's what it did for me He patched my cup too :)
