Robin Williams Night Part ll

And so the three night Robin Williams marathon continues with the second lineup of classic movies starring comedic and dramatic actor Robin Williams. Much like last night's lineup, tonight continues the awesome blend of comedy and drama from the extremely talented actor. This lineup consists of the following:

Good Morning Vietnam 1987, The Awakening 1990, Good Will Hunting 1997, and One Hour Photo 2002

Whereas this marathon is stronger than last night's is debatable. That one had a special feeling of magic and emotional power to it. This one is more about the quality of the scripts he took. His projects were very daring and carried with them emotional messages and unforgettable performances not just from Williams himself, but those around him. He inspired many actors to reach for the stars which he always sought after. Good Morning Vietnam once again shows his knack for comedic talent and intelligence at making fast talking punchlines and comments. The Awakening shows his sensitive side by pairing him up with the great Robert Deniro in a quest to help a few catatonic patients  by testing them with a new medicine. When the medicine begins to wear off and the patients begin to go back to their old selves, it's heartbreaking. Good Will Hunting is one of his finest hours in terms of acting as he won a best supporting actor Oscar as a psychiatrist who never stops in helping Matt Damon's character find his true self and realize his true potential. It was the film which launched the careers of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck with the help of Robin Williams at the wheel. If you were to ask those two actors right now, they would say that they owe their careers and fame to him. That shows how great of a movie star and a person he was. And finally, the second lineup concludes with One Hour Photo. This is one of Williams most challenging roles and one that showed people that underneath the sincerity of his dramatic performances and his amazing comedic talent, was something dark and sinister that was looming. The later film called Insomnia fully explored his potential as an incredible vile villain and he rose to the occasion. Whereas part one was about showing the emotional side of his movies and his real personal issues, tonight shows how great of an actor he was in the genres of comedy, drama and ultimately thriller.
