I watch reactions because I love to see people appreciate the dialogue, nuance, and underlying themes of great cinema. It’s so frustrating when those things just go over the reactor’s head. This was super enjoyable. Your appreciation of the acting, direction, and writing was apparent. Thanks for the excellent reaction to this wonderful film.

IMO Chuckie is one of the great cinematic best friends. He loves Will unconditionally, always has his back, is proud of his gifts rather than jealous, and deeply wants the best for him, even if it means some amount of personal sadness for himself. Not an ounce of selfishness to be found. As Sean notes, Chuckie is family.

"How do you like them apples?" Fun Fact: The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. MIT Connection Fact: Matt Damon, a former Harvard student, originally intended to make the title character a physics prodigy. He discussed his idea with Sheldon L. Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics and, at the time, a Harvard professor. Glashow told him that the premise did not ring true to him: he suggested that the main character be a math prodigy instead. He referred Damon to his brother-in-law, Daniel Kleitman, a professor of mathematics at MIT, who provided advice on the story. Glashow and Kleitman are thanked in the credits. Dream Realized Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen.

First time viewer of yours. A couple recs. People will recommend Dead Poets Society. It's a coming of age movie with Robin Williams in another mentor role. If you don't watch that, I'd recommend It's a Wonderful Life (black and white version). The dialogue is great if you like very raw emotional scenes.

People have always said the hardest thing about working with Robin Williams is trying not to laugh. When they made Aladdin, the actors and actresses would have to get out of the booths immediately to laugh so that it wouldn't mess up the recording. Robin ad libbed so many of his lines that they actually have two hours of additional recordings when he'd try to find the right characters for Genie to impersonate. When Steven Spielberg made Schindler's List, he would be so depressed filming the movie that he would call Robin Williams after each shoot to cheer him up with some comedy.

I forget where I heard it, but the movie shows an interesting contrast: the neighborhood called South Boston (or "Southie" for short) is known for two things - being very blue-collar, and a strong link to Irish Catholicism. Now, Harvard and MIT of course are among the most prestigious universities in the world, and Harvard in particular has a strong Protestant linkage, notably because its reported namesake John Harvard was a Puritan clergyman. Will's intellect would cause him to stand out in Southie. That's why the "genius from Southie" line from Sean is so unexpected.

36:19 I’m waiting for a storm… yeah about that 1.) this reaction made me realize how much higher Professor holds Will. 2.) I still think that medal is stupid much like Sean sees it 3.) 285 is impressive to bench 4.) definitely one of the better reactions out there, for the most part just lets the scenes play out without talking over them. Don’t get me wrong, it’s ok and cool to have reactions/dialogue but sometimes it also nice to just let the movie be a movie

Robin Williams and this movie changed my life. With "Mork and Mindy", which I watched as a young kid, he was the first person I ever identified as being something called an actor playing something called a character. And I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life. When I went to my first therapist, I told him about this movie, and the very next session, he had watched it and hit me with the "it's not your fault" speech. In 2011, in my first trip to New York, I met Robin. He must have had about 200 people around him, but he took the time to properly chat to everyone, including me. I got to thank him for everything he had meant to me, which he weirdly seemed very touched to hear, and we took a selfie and had a hug. When he died, I was holed up on my bed crying for three days. It took me 5 years to watch any of his work again. Not too long ago, I had an important meeting with some influential casting directors, and, after spending hours trying to decide what monologue to do and putting it aside, I faced my fears and did the speech from the park bench. The meeting could not have gone better. The following year, I visited Boston, and the only place I knew I needed to go was that bench. I found it, sat down, and something really special came over me. My Dad took a really closeup photo of me, looking straight forward, lost in thought, and it's probably my favourite photo of myself. I'm so glad you've discovered this masterpiece. Another Robin great is "What Dreams May Come".

SO glad you picked up on the music! That song in particular, and many others, were written by Elliott Smith (the director was a fan), and he got an Oscar nomination for it. A very shy, troubled musical genius, the new found fame was quite uncomfortable for him, contributing to his depression & drug addiction. He killed himself a few years after this movie came out, but he released a couple of complete albums, and a compilation album of half finished songs in between. Definitely check him out.

South Boston (Southie) in the 70's and 80's was a tough predominantly Irish section of Boston where shit was never taken.

The brilliance of the writing is just practically beyond anything else in modern cinema. The dialogue, and the way it is performed is insanely good, and then below that the way the whole story is woven together makes it hard to believe it was written by these two young guys. The way the discussions keep coming back to his wife... Partially because that type of fidelity and loss is so closely tied to Will's own issues. But Sean also keeps going back to it, because Will wasn't the only one who needed some therapy. It's through the act of helping Will that Sean is able to come to terms with his own pain. Narrative depth that is essentially unheard of these days.

Her father became a Captain of a mine-sweeping ship during WW2 and eventually divorced my grandma and remarried an ex-nun thirty-five years his Junior. They had a son, so I have a half uncle a year younger than me! I’ve been over there at 9yrs old, 1979, and again at 27 the year Diana died. My mom ended up selling a detached house in downtown Hove that she inherited. It was a two story home with a garden and stone fence. I went over to arrange things with the solicitor..

Hey this reaction is probably the best I’ve seen. If u like robin williams I highly recommend u are dead poets society. It’s another beautiful movie.

Easily on my list for best movies of all time and knowing Robin, finally receives his long over due Oscar, is the cherry on top! If you liked this, you should also check out Finding Forrester, it's director Gus Van Sant's follow up to this movie, it also happens to be Sean Connery's 2nd to last performance, before going on to make The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the movie that killed his desire to act again!

@Sofa and Chill Just as Colin said, yours was one of the better reactions. I cried along with you in the “Not your fault” scene. And you must get the entire soundtrack...phenomenal. Extraordinary how these two “kids” wrote the screenplay. A few tidbits....They won the Oscar for the screenplay. Also, Matt Damon & Minnie Driver fell in love making the film. So, their chemistry was genuine. As per your request, I highly recommend One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest...another extraordinary film 🔥 So happy that you enjoyed it! 🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻‍♀️

What you set up front...... That "there should be some good moments in this movie". There's really only one great moment in this movie. It starts at the beginning and lasts about 2 hours.

Nice reaction Kev! Love this film! If your going on a Robin Williams marathon you should totally watch Hook, Flubber, Mrs Doubtfire and Jumanji, they are some of my all time favourite films. Ps the scene where Robin talks about the wife farting in her sleep? All improv my man 🤣

I just watched your reaction to one my favorite & one of the best movies ever. (I’m also from Boston & love listening to the accent)!! I like your accent too. Are you from Ireland? What I really like is that you don’t talk too much while watching, just enough talk during the reaction. What a cast right? I just subscribed & I look forward to watching more of your reactions. Hope you’ve watched Shawshank redemption with Tim robbins & morgan freeman. Another excellent choice I think you’ll love

Great reaction to an outstanding movie. A near flawless one. (The movie that is. Not that the reaction wasn't also good. Just wanted to clarify) I had only a couple of very small issues with it. First, the way Will treated Skylar there at the end was gut wrenching. Skylar was such a great character, and it was extremely difficult watching Will break her heart. My issue isn't with that. That's just good drama in a great movie. My issue was that I wanted SO SO MUCH to see Will go back to her and make it right. I wanted to see a smile on her beautiful face again. But unfortunately we didn't get that closure. My only other issue was that I found the whole "leave out of the blue, without saying bye to anyone" part odd. What's wrong with just having a normal goodbye? Have a last night out with your best friends. Hugs and handshakes and heartfelt goodbyes at the end of the night, why not that? But the way they do it just seemed unnecessary. Again, these are very minor issues. Easily one of the best movies ever made.

'Genuinely the best reaction i've ever seen to this film. Aside from my own, i mean. I guess that's what we're all looking for. Just to know, when a movie's that special to you, that someone else can see it the same way. So that's won my subscription. And a like. 'Notification bell is good to go. Thanks. As much as you appreciated Robin Williams' acting chops, and you seem to value a good story, i'd like to request your reaction to another film he's acted in: AWAKENINGS (1990) Robin Williams, Robert De Niro. If you haven't already seen it. It's brilliant. Really. Peace -
