@Josip Lilić Here is about great acting monologues and the monologue of Rocky is great acting. If you cannot understand this you do understand nothing about acting!!!
Hi in bojack horseman, a whole episode is a monologue. It's also known as mother of monologues. It's in the episode named: "Free Churro". 😁 Please dedicate it in part-2/3
"I think the saddest people always try to make others happy, because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and don't want anyone else to feel that way" ~Robin Williams
Are you insane? HE HAD FRIENDS! HE HAD FAMILY! He didn't top himself cos he was "sad and lonely". He killed himself cos he got diagnosed with a rapid, terminaly, degenerative brain disease that was turning him into a vegetable. He'd started to forget his lines, forget his routines, and then instantly diagnosed and told "in 18 months, maybe less, you will be struggling to live and soon after that you will be a vegetable". NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING SAD! He was a superbly focussed, intellectual, tempestuous and larger than life entertainer and comedian! Movie star! Hundreds of MILLIONS in the bank! Had amazing children and great friends! He killed himself because he could literally feel himself losing his entire mind and memories! Who wants to be a vegetable, a burden, everyone around you crying and sad watching you die while inside your mind you're ALREADY dead! Give it a rest with the "Oh poor Robin, he was SO SAD!" myth that for some reason idiots have perpetuated for YEARS. Give him some respect.
@@bashaarabdul-baki3121 It frustrated the hell out of me, back when this "rumour" started about him being depressed. SURE the majority of people who kill themselves, do it through despair + depression. BUT NOT ALL OF THEM! Terminally ill people, cancer sufferers etc, theres a whole business for that in Scandanavia : Legal Suicide. For those who don't want to endure the final months of agony and sorrow. Robins personal assistant was the one who suggested (I read somewhere, pretty much FORCED) he goes to the doctor, because he was crying on set in Night @ The Museum and she discovered him doing so, and asked him why. He told her there was something wrong with him, he couldn't remember lines he'd read ALL NIGHT, and that had never happened to him before. And that other things too - forgetting his plan, forgetting numbers and names etc. She made him visit the quack and he was INSTANTLY diagnosed with the degenerative, terminal, brain disease. Death sentence. I can relate to him entirely, being a father of two. If it happened to me tomorrow, I'd do the same. Why put everyone through that? Especially after one has already been successful, lived an amazing life, made it to old age etc!
@@89hybrid88 Had the guts? What a gross simplification and misunderstanding of who he was and how he suffered. You listened to THAT monologue and that is what you had to say. Empathy is complex. But you don't have it.
Well Matt and Ben wrote the lines, but as they said themselves - over the course of time, lines can change and be improvised, but the credit still goes to Matt + Ben (Robin himself said so). Robin managed to deliver those lines with his natural talent and skill as an actor, AND as a human being with the wisdom of age and the compassion of a good soul.
@@daviddempsey8721 When you think about it - I mean time and lifespans and history back - we are here for such a short time. Only a few generations ago, we had no televsion, no radio. Stories were told from the stage of a theatre, or around a campfire, or at home on cold winter nights by Mum Or Dad to entertain their hungry kids and lul them to sleep. Entertainers have ALWAYS ruled the world, but technology has brought this gift to every known corner of the earth. Robin is a natural story teller, a legendary entertainer, who would have been amazing at his craft whatever eon or patch of earth he was born of. We are SO lucky, in the scale of history, to have been of *his* era here on earth, and that we all got to share his genius and his passion to make other people's lives better and more bareable. After all - what IS entertainment for, if not for that? RIP Mr Williams
This scene still gives me chills every time I watch it. They did it in one take (almost stopping when Will stuttered, but they kept it rolling and decided after cutting that it just made the scene more authentic). James Avery (uncle Phil) said that he continued to hug Will well after the cut and said "now that's acting" while weeping on his shoulder.
In my view, Robin Williams is probably the greatest improv comic I have ever seen. When it comes to cinema, the irony of Robin Williams is that most of his best work lies in drama and not comedy. The few comedies that worked for me were those that allowed his improvisation to flourish. He was usually limited by his scripts in comedy, when he could spontaneously come up with better material off the cuff than a room full of writers could produce over weeks.

Robin Williams did the "Good Will Hunting" park bench scene in ONE TAKE. This is why this scene gets my vote as number 1 from the outstanding scenes in this clip.
Incredible! Probably my favourite scence of all time. My grandfather was, in a way, that character and my idol. Williams was a great serious actor (Insomnia for instance).
It has to be one of the best of all time. Didn't know he did it in one take. George C. Scott's speech to the troops at the beginning of Patton was a one take shot done with two camera angles.
That is what acting is - you are trying to get something from your partner. And given how Matt’s character tore him apart the day before - he deserved every word of it.
This first clip, you can see the tension absolutely chiseled into every line of Jack Nicholson's face. The intensity that he brought to that performance was riveting.
It is not even a character, it is a cartoon boogeyman. Neither believable nor inspiring. If you want the actual good part of Mr. Nicholson's acting just include the part where the character is put under arrest for that BS speech and he can't believe it. That is where the acting comes in.
Will got me crying in public. Gets me every time. You can feel that he s tapped into really life experience and drawing from that. Phenomenal performance
Watching the Robin Williams scene, you almost forget that it's a movie. It feels like you're not watching "entertainment". It's like you're really invested in an extremely personal conversation that's being shared by 2 men.
@@luckyswine Good points. It's kind of amazing that that impressive script was written by Damon and Affleck. A screenplay with such subtlety and wisdom, at their relatively young age is quite remarkable.
Same here. He has brought me so many laughs and happiness, starting with Happy Days and Mork and Mindy, my favorite movie of his was What Dreams May Come. I hope to see him again one day. 🥰

I never knew him but love him and miss him, good will hunting is one of my favorite films. I wish I had a councilor or somebody in my life like that. It hurts he has gone
@Ork Trukk DrivahYou'd have to be him to know that but I can tell you a few things about Lewy Body Dementia, which was Robin Williams diagnosis. It can cause well formed hallucinations, delusions, visual disturbances and profound confusion, REM sleep disurbance and autonomic disturbances like incontinence, dizziness and blood pressure drops. Brain on fire. It's truly terrible. If he was even thinking straight I imagine that he wanted to ward off what was waiting for him but I doubt he was thinking clearly. Really terrible disease. More aggressive in the early stages than Alzheimer's.
I love that monologue from Good Will Hunting. It so perfectly flips the power dynamic between the two of them. Before this he had been coming up against a wall with Will because he used his imposing intellect as his defence, something that has so far worked against everyone he's met. That monologue utterly robs him of that defence while imploring him to let down the last one he still has up; his silence. The reason his intellect won't help him in this situation is because ultimately all he's being "threatened" with is an honest to god conversation, something he's never really been able to have.
I thought the writing was formulaic and clichéd. Typical Hollywood Turning Point, written for people with poor attention who have to be beaten over the head with it to make sure they don't miss it. Most of these monologues are like that. It's the writing, not the acting.
His soul was always bare , that's why everybody felt him so close. The amount of emotional pain he endured was very real, whenever he stoped running with his mind , whenever he stood still , you could see it in his eyes ......I cried , i cried because it didn't matter how many people loved him , he was alone in his internal struggle , ......I just really want him to be free now , free , in peace and surrounded by love
He’s still my idol in a lot of ways. He just got it. Over and over again, he nail it. And even if he was just shy, he always inspired greatness. I still miss him. Rest in peace, genius. There will never be another actor, comedian, and mortal person like him.
My first acting read in front of a class in acting class in college. And actually the movie was good i wouldn’t have never watched it, if it wasn’t assigned to me. So thanks to my acting teacher. WHEREEVER she is!!! 🥂
I can’t decide what’s more inspirational. Rocky teaching his kid how to overcome tough times in life to achieve goals or Robin Williams teaching the difference between learning life and living it.
I will say Robin and I will explain why. About 2 years ago I would have said both. It has been my experience that life is not meant to knock you down. We are given the wrong rules. If you hands are on the wrong position on a keyboard you can never express the truth. The rules as I know them are simple. -Your creator is not a God. So don't worship. That includes Gods, others, your own children or your Ego (That one is really a tricky one) -We are one organism in different bodies. The sooner you realize this the sooner the word starts working for you. If you are a cell that isn't playing well in an organism you will be restricted in nourishment and eventually removed from the system. - Religions tend to divide. No matter how "well intentioned" they may seem they are devices elements. Elements of pride are device. Unite. - You are blessed with certain things that others don't have, share your blessings continually and more will flow to you. - Getting closer to your creator will increase the joy and blessings of this life. To do this help one another. Your creator cannot increase in magnitude and has setup this world as a series of checks and balances to encourage actions of love and unity and discourage the opposite. -Believe in your creator's forgiveness. Hell does not exist outside of this world, each person creates their own hell by breaking the rules instituted by nature. -The "devil" is actually in you. Those are the negative emotions and those that create fear that cause you to move away from what is good. - You know all of this already. It was written in us before we were born. You just have to reason and you will it to be true. Good luck!
@@surgio98 wow! I do not see the connection! 😆 quite a leap to go from living your life to the full potential to religious belief or non belief. No where in either monologues is creationism or religion mentioned. It’s not about how we got there, it’s about what we do when we’re there. And that’s what robin and sly are talking about. Understanding that nothing worth having is easy and you need to earn it, and there’s a huge difference between learning from a book and experiencing first hand.
Yes it ages very well...But I am getting older too at 38 but I will say not seeing the scene for nearly a decade and seeing it just now...wow, I forgot how good this scene was.

@@anthonyromana.r.production4283 , from a few minutes of googling, I don’t see anything that indicates that the bench scene is improvised. It is so integral to the relationship between the two characters that it is difficult to believe that it is improv. (I do see mentions of Williams’ creating many of his funniest lines in the movie, including the story of Sean’s wife’s farts and Sean’s final lines: “Son of a bitch. He stole my line.”
Dementia is a terrible thing; not only did the world lose a great artist, but he was lost to himself, not just once but many times per day due to Lewy body dementia. He must have suffered terribly.
@@SlimPlum691 That whole scene is just brilliant. Will Smith ended up going off script during that scene and improvising most of it. James Avery was such a great actor that he immediately recognized when to give his costar room to breath. The scene is a young actor putting on a masterclass in acting while a more seasoned actor puts on a masterclass in reacting. I love watching it because it is so close to perfection, but I hate watching it because it makes me cry every time.
Kent Johnson this is the first time I've seen this and it gave me chills! I really loved him in The pursuit of happiness! Why doesn't he do more movies like that? He is a truly great actor but Hollywood doesn't seem to give him the opportunity or he chooses not to. Anyway I didn't expect this from the Fresh Prince of Bel air!
@@JohnDoe-wx4vn Nah I have a wonderful dad but through school and college have many friends who've had horrible fathers. No man watches that and doesn't get hit with either -- their own past sorrows, or a relenting awe and tearful gratitude for what they had versus the misfortune of others (and if you don't - talk to more people who've had it worse to better appreciate what you have), but for everyone this ALSO "I ain't ever doing that to no son of mine..." goes through their head, and refuse and aspire to never be who Will is talking about. It hits those where it should, as it is a beautiful scene. 13:30 for the feels
The irony of Robin Williams is he is known as one of the great comedians of our times, but at the same time he is one of the great dramatic actors of our time. I don't remember a bad movie Robin Williams did. Also the Charlie Chaplin speech has me convinced this was truly from his heart and he used his platform to deliver one of the greatest speeches in American History
Freeman's reaction in Shawshank is particularly on point for me because it describes what prison does to people; The changes wrought are not the changes intended, but often the extreme opposite. His remorse is deep and compelling, but so what.

not enough people in the comments talking about the robin williams monologue in good will hunting, that movie is fucking fantastic, and that monologue scene isn't even the best scene in the movie
im actually happy to see Stallone get some credit here. people have always liked to make fun of him as a bad actor or being hard to understand. but his little monologue scene at the end of first blood gets me every time.
I'll always be 100% in debt to sylvester stallone for showing me how winnin' is done. Sounds simple but that mindset really did wonders for a teenage me.
I can’t watch that Will Smith scene without shedding a tear and I’ve watched it dozens of times over the years. “TO HELL WITH HIM!!” does it every single time.
It was great, but kind similar to a scene on Good Times with James Sr and his father that visited? The black shows are very popular in Europe still plays a lot but a lot alike. But the Good Times scene was the father and son talking it out. It was sad because James' father was kind of like get over it, it was a long time ago.😕
We are so fortunate to have captured these moments on film so that 100 years from now, people can still see these outstanding performances and feel the power of the words they speak.

@@ryanbumrungkittikul5179 It's just so natural. Like James, not Uncle Phil, needed to hug the real Will Smith, not the character. Just a beautifully acted scene. Or, maybe it wasn't acting at all. Just simply genuine emotion from two people who cared about each other.
When Will did that scene, he wasn’t acting... he was talking about his real father... that was his real, raw emotions. I feel honored to be able to see that
1:25 best acting and movie monolog of all time. No chance someone will act like that. Robbin Williams is so underrated because he did not act in a lot of serious movies.
Well, in addition to Good Will Hunting, I'd suggest you seek out, The Fisher King, Insomnia, One Hour Photo, and Awakenings, for starters. And, films like Good Morning Vietnam and The World According to Garp, were amazing 'serio-comedies'. Williams was a brilliant actor, with tremendous depth and range.
@@HarmonicWave There are cuts between them two, but the scene was shot with two cameras. One pointing at Matt Damon and one facing Robin Williams, at the same time.
Charlie Chaplin's speech breaks my heart. Spoken so many years ago and it seems we've learned nothing in the intervening years. It should be played every day on television, radio, the internet...because the message is timeless, and sadly, never more necessary.
Ive always liked parts of that speech, but there are many aspects of it that have now been proven to be the most totalitarian enabling devices of human history. Radio? Wow, imagine all the new communication we have, then see how much more distant we are today. No borders? Look at how that tanks economies and plunges more into crime and factions. If only he’d realized that to have the kingdom in man(kind), they first need the King to change their hearts; then we can truly be kind, showing charity and brotherhood.
taken out of context and re-applied to social media, it's fucking terrifying how accurate it is. As a species we've somehow managed to make having a conversation more toxic than nuclear radiation or a black winter. Really think upon that... it sounds silly, but it isn't; it's fucking dangerous.
You know.... All these great movies, great actors, and among them, Will Smith. A kid on a Television show asking why his Father doesn't want him. That was a POWERFUL monologue.
I think as I mature, the less tragic it becomes. He had dementia and he chose his end to his story. He went out with dignity, he went by his choice, by his power. He did not become frail and weak. He went out a hero, and a legend, and we all remember how great of a man he was. He did not become a shell of who he once was. His death breaks my heart, he was one of my all time favorites, but he chose to go in power. RIP sir.
The Fresh Prince scene is powerful stuff, because Will is always so confident, and he instantly withers under his hurt. Not an Oscar over-performance. Just an everyday person in agony. It feels so real.
@@davidmills7046 - And I think Will Smith's speech was unscripted - those are the most powerful words, when they come from inside and not from a screen writer. Will Smith's speech and the scene from the Newsroom are it for me.
There are so many great monologues. But one that stands to my mind that has been forgotten and that give me goose bumps each time I see it is the last scene of Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino helping his friend get out of a school expulsion
Charlie Chaplin speech is first rate quality especially considering when it was originally orchestrated, what a performance what a speech, first rate quality from a genius.
Robin William's acting is masterful, and you can tell he means every word. But Will's acting killed me in that scene, honestly that was a heartbreaking scene...
watching through it was like " I remember this" THEN "....FUCK YOU WILL SMITH!! WHY YOU MAKE ME SAD!?!? WHY IS IT YOU THAT MADE MY EMOTIONS COME OUT!?!?"

Stop for a moment and just bask in the sheer brilliance of Charles Chaplin. His first "talkie" movie and he chooses to rise against tyranny. Let this be a lesson in our times. RIP Mr. Chaplin
I think his speech was the most hair raising because it is as prevalent then as it is now. It is timeless and the foresight is omnipresent. Just wish people cared less about political sides and more about each other.
Thank you for putting together some amazing acting, scripts and scenes put together! And let’s not forget the camera work editing etc to magnify the marvellous acting 👏🏽
Robin Williams scene with Matt Damen is one of the greatest ever... Point finale. When Robin says "Because I read it in Oliver Twist" must one of the most epic lines ever. That is amazing writing
Will Smith breaking into tears after being so angry and acting so indifferent hits me every time. The desire of a child to be loved by his/her parents doesn't go away just because the get older. And Uncle Phil did the best thing he could in that situation: He listened, he didn't judge, he didn't try to explain things away and he was there to hold Will when all that anger gave way to pure sadness.
This particular scene, I LOVE how broken James Avery looked at Wills emotional pain that he couldn't do anything and then when James hugged Will it was just perfect. Do you know the story behind the day of this scene?
I can’t watch that scene without bursting into tears! Will and Avery were phenomenal! There’s one thing I’ve always wondered, though: Did anyone else hear a woman- possibly Daphne Maxwell Reid, who was the second actress to play Vivian Banks- sobbing off camera? Will’s outburst was so palpable that I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire cast and crew was in tears after that heartbreaking scene!
It's always called cheesy and corny but, to me, the Rocky monologue in this will always be one of the greatest speeches in a movie. Epic and worth remembering in the tough moments
I love it. It's true to his characte: a simple, blue collar sweetheart with an indomitable spirit. The key is he doesn't say it's about winning, it's about taking hits and going on. It's a perfect foreshadow for Balboa specifically, but a great bookend to the series, with Rocky losing his first fight but displaying resiliency. It's perfect, just perfect.
Jeff Daniels had monologs like this constantly during the run of this show and this one is by far period my period favorite period! He is such a great actor and this role fit him perfectly! They could have kept this show going. I could watch it over and over again.
I’ve seen “Shawshank Redemption” so many times I’ve lost count. But every single time this scene plays I am riveted. When Morgan Freeman says, “I know what YOU think it means, Sonny” I can’t help but smirk. His portrayal of Red is legendary!
I know this says "5 months ago" but yet, I agree with you completely. "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" (By the great Stephen King) really is the best story I have ever read. I remember reading it when I was very young. I stayed up all night reading it. I wanted to know what happens next. Loved it. When I found out they were going to make a movie, I was first in line. I thought Morgan Freeman was perfect as "Red". That's how I pictured "Red" reading that story. Truly, I think that story is a masterpiece and should be remembered as such. If you've only seen the movie, go read the story. It's wonderful.
Let's also not forget the brilliant screenplay writers who dreamt these words, strung them together, and conveyed the very depths of pure emotion and humanity. These actors and actresses sure breathed life into those words though. Every one here is truly stirring.
Yep - brilliant scripwiting is absolutely necessary (but not sufficient of course) for brilliant acting. You only have to look at some of these actors' less distinguished work where they have to deliver crap lines to see that.
And the fact Aaron Sorkin wrote three of these. A few good men, the newsroom, and Steve Jobs. the newsroom being the opening scene of Episode 1 , season 1 of the show.
from what I've heard those were real words he was saying, and it was brought from personal expiernece as well. that's why it felt so real cause it was real
@@demetrispielman4906 It was fully scripted. It felt so real because that's the way real writing and real acting are supposed to feel. It sure worked with you.
Robin Williams was a great man and an even greater actor. He will be thought of fondly and loved by generations to come...lots of amazing performances in this video!
People who knew him have actually said that the other way around, that he was an even better person than he was an actor, and that he was an outstanding actor. I think that's why we all mourn his untimely death so much
All well said, and truer than true. My niece is 11, and anytime she visits me she wants to watch a VHS in my room at bedtime. She has watched all of my Robin Williams movies. Her favorite is Patch Adams. It's a unique choice for a child, as it always made me sad Before he died. My favorite is the movie Jack. But, to each their own. I'm glad he lives on from Mork to Mrs. Doubtfire He will be beloved by generations, and missed by everyone that has had the privilege to see his work.
He was a fucking thief who stole alot of him material from black artist much like Elvis Jerry Lee Lewis and many other white artists who stole and profited from the work of black artists but carry the hell on✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽
He was just a good dude. The guy you like at the bar that has good quotes and good conversation. I heard that some sort of nueropathy (parks or some such) robbed him of joy. The very man who spread joy was denied. Very cruel prank by whatever is running this charade.
Wills speech is so damn perfect. Even the shakiness in his breathing is perfect. His acting blends what is real and what is a show so much that it pulls you in and makes you feel like you are standing in uncle Phil’s place.
If you didn't know, this scene turned into improv, and Will actually broke down, because the scene related to his past. If you listen at the very last second of the scene, you can hear someone in the back, apart of the directors crew crying. One of my favorite things about this scene, is how Uncle Phil reacted. He knew the only words to use where the words of physical love
Honestly, it brings me to tears again a month later. I kept thinking “where is this coming from?” Because that’s the perfect encapsulation of what it feels like inside (at least for me) to be a man who didn’t have a real male father figure. Cover it with toughness and flippancy but inside it’s like you’re a little kid, when he says “why didn’t he want me?” I can’t keep my s**t together. That’s some damn good acting, because even though it’s pretty dramatic, it doesn’t feel like acting, it feels like he experienced it…
@@RoseBudBeats That’s a rumor that was debunked when he was asked about it and said that he had a great dad and that monologue didn’t relate to his own childhood at all. EDIT: Actually I guess he’s been asked about it a bunch, there’s more than one interview out there where he talks about it to some degree. The best one was pretty in depth and he talks about how James Avery (Uncle Phil) really pushed him in preparing for the scene. He even talks about how when they were on set actually running it he kept messing up his lines until Avery called him down, so it seems like it probably wasn’t improv, and he’s talked at length about the great relationship he had with his own father before he passed (well into Wills adulthood) but if anything it’s commendable that Will was able to deliver that scene so convincingly given that he had no actual life experience with the subject matter.
Robin Williams was special. And even if he never won an Oscar, he is maybe one of the most beloved person in film history. I am from bay area and it hit us particularly hard. He was a constant presence at Giants games. I was at a game, after his suicide, where his kids threw the first pitch to a standing ovation of teary eyed people. It was hard to lose Robin.
You’re right, I’d say we’re a maximum of three generations from an authoritarian regime. People love to talk about the Constitution but never bother to read it.
I wish the world would listen to this speech at the very end by Chaplin and I wish they would truly take it to heart what a better world we would live in if we did amen father amen preach it
Robin Williams in Will Hunting owns my heart. He has such talent. He means every word he says, and you completely forget that he is acting. The emotions on his face and in his eyes, You can feel the pain, the memories, and the sadness. It is the best monologue
That is great acting when the viewer believes you and is feeling what you are feeling. He had a great career I remember I first saw him in jumanji man I love that movie.
The raw emotion from Will in that scene, and the way Uncle Phil looks at him is absolutely unbelievable. My eyes well up with tears every time I hear Will cut from what he is saying to scream with such fury "TO HELL WITH HIM" only to turn to Uncle Phil and simply ask as if pleading "how come he don't want me, man?" It kills me.
@Pint - i remember catching that show. I didn't have time for much TV then, but i was pregnant and the Dad had recently walked out on the child he asked me to conceive. You know my heart was breaking ...for my unborn boy. (Didn't even know for sure i was carrying a baby boy, tho intuitively, i knew.)
The actor who played uncle Phil had a line but he was so over come by will smith’s speech that he just grabbed him and hugged him cause he knew about will smith’s real past
Charlie Chaplin's speech is so incredibly powerful and perfectly delivered. He came to fame in silent films with comedy but this is a large part of his legacy.
I have listen to this speech for so long that at current moments it a bewildering sensation to feel but feel and feel dearly because at your end what u felt is all that matters
Thora Hird's 30-minute monologue in Alan Bennet's 'Waiting for the telegram' is amazing. I believe she was 87 years old at the time and won an award for her performance.
The power of the 2nd scene in the context of the film is enormous.. he essentially did back to will what will had done to another person in an earlier scene. Except sean did it better, it was the first time in wills life someone had dismantle him like that and Sean proved he was a genius in his field.

"I think the saddest people always try to make others happy, because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and don't want anyone else to feel that way" ~Robin Williams
If only 😪 1 person had reached out to Robin Williams he might still be alive. Maybe?
Brilliant actor & beautiful human being. The world is a lesser place without him. May he rest forever in the arms of our Lord!
Are you insane? HE HAD FRIENDS! HE HAD FAMILY! He didn't top himself cos he was "sad and lonely". He killed himself cos he got diagnosed with a rapid, terminaly, degenerative brain disease that was turning him into a vegetable. He'd started to forget his lines, forget his routines, and then instantly diagnosed and told "in 18 months, maybe less, you will be struggling to live and soon after that you will be a vegetable".
NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING SAD! He was a superbly focussed, intellectual, tempestuous and larger than life entertainer and comedian! Movie star! Hundreds of MILLIONS in the bank! Had amazing children and great friends!
He killed himself because he could literally feel himself losing his entire mind and memories! Who wants to be a vegetable, a burden, everyone around you crying and sad watching you die while inside your mind you're ALREADY dead!
Give it a rest with the "Oh poor Robin, he was SO SAD!" myth that for some reason idiots have perpetuated for YEARS.
Give him some respect.

@@bashaarabdul-baki3121 It frustrated the hell out of me, back when this "rumour" started about him being depressed.
SURE the majority of people who kill themselves, do it through despair + depression. BUT NOT ALL OF THEM!
Terminally ill people, cancer sufferers etc, theres a whole business for that in Scandanavia : Legal Suicide. For those who don't want to endure the final months of agony and sorrow.
Robins personal assistant was the one who suggested (I read somewhere, pretty much FORCED) he goes to the doctor, because he was crying on set in Night @ The Museum and she discovered him doing so, and asked him why. He told her there was something wrong with him, he couldn't remember lines he'd read ALL NIGHT, and that had never happened to him before. And that other things too - forgetting his plan, forgetting numbers and names etc. She made him visit the quack and he was INSTANTLY diagnosed with the degenerative, terminal, brain disease. Death sentence.
I can relate to him entirely, being a father of two. If it happened to me tomorrow, I'd do the same. Why put everyone through that? Especially after one has already been successful, lived an amazing life, made it to old age etc!

I miss him so much man
Robin Williams wasn’t acting during these scenes, he was speaking from his heart ❤️
Robin delivered an incredible discourse on many of the events that impact humans. This is a wonderful, inspirational monologue on human growth.
He was such an actor and in real life such a man. He is missed so much😢
I was enjoying the clip when it re-hit home that he’s no longer here. A great man who influenced many through the characters he brought to life.
Well Matt and Ben wrote the lines, but as they said themselves - over the course of time, lines can change and be improvised, but the credit still goes to Matt + Ben (Robin himself said so).
Robin managed to deliver those lines with his natural talent and skill as an actor, AND as a human being with the wisdom of age and the compassion of a good soul.
@@daviddempsey8721 When you think about it - I mean time and lifespans and history back - we are here for such a short time. Only a few generations ago, we had no televsion, no radio. Stories were told from the stage of a theatre, or around a campfire, or at home on cold winter nights by Mum Or Dad to entertain their hungry kids and lul them to sleep.
Entertainers have ALWAYS ruled the world, but technology has brought this gift to every known corner of the earth.
Robin is a natural story teller, a legendary entertainer, who would have been amazing at his craft whatever eon or patch of earth he was born of. We are SO lucky, in the scale of history, to have been of *his* era here on earth, and that we all got to share his genius and his passion to make other people's lives better and more bareable. After all - what IS entertainment for, if not for that?
RIP Mr Williams
Not many celebrity deaths affect me. But boy, when Robin left this world I wept.
Same dude
Tears welling even now....
That stung a bit.
when guys like Robin pass away its like another light has gone out making our lives a darker place.
Me too... I will never forget it I was in a Dentist chair when it came on the TV... they couldn't finish on me I was crying so bad.
"How come he don't want me man?"
A question no child should ever ask.
Makes me teary-eyed every time I see it
This scene still gives me chills every time I watch it. They did it in one take (almost stopping when Will stuttered, but they kept it rolling and decided after cutting that it just made the scene more authentic). James Avery (uncle Phil) said that he continued to hug Will well after the cut and said "now that's acting" while weeping on his shoulder.
yes but they do
@@canoe5067 I’m crying my eyes out right now thinking about why no one wants me.

Dearly.
Oh!😢
Robin Williams was a great actor, and when he died the world was a much sadder without him.
In my view, Robin Williams is probably the greatest improv comic I have ever seen. When it comes to cinema, the irony of Robin Williams is that most of his best work lies in drama and not comedy. The few comedies that worked for me were those that allowed his improvisation to flourish. He was usually limited by his scripts in comedy, when he could spontaneously come up with better material off the cuff than a room full of writers could produce over weeks.
And his stand up was top tier.. I still adore his live on broadway and quote it all the time
It shouldn't have happened. Someone should've been there for him.

Robin Williams did the "Good Will Hunting" park bench scene in ONE TAKE. This is why this scene gets my vote as number 1 from the outstanding scenes in this clip.
That's why Robin Williams was worthy of every Oscar nomination he ever received. He was a fantastic actor.
Incredible! Probably my favourite scence of all time. My grandfather was, in a way, that character and my idol. Williams was a great serious actor (Insomnia for instance).
@@MasterAnakinSkyWalker Agreed!
Agreed.
It has to be one of the best of all time. Didn't know he did it in one take. George C. Scott's speech to the troops at the beginning of Patton was a one take shot done with two camera angles.
Matt Damon was just sitting there like.."this is suppose to be acting bro,why r u making me feel this horrible"
"is he telling that to my caracter, or to me...?"
@@ramjam-zv7mi Matt turned that speech around on Ben for being 5 minutes late to set the next day.
That is what acting is - you are trying to get something from your partner. And given how Matt’s character tore him apart the day before - he deserved every word of it.
He wrote it. Even more impressive.
@@steffijmusic he wrote it?
This first clip, you can see the tension absolutely chiseled into every line of Jack Nicholson's face. The intensity that he brought to that performance was riveting.
It is not even a character, it is a cartoon boogeyman. Neither believable nor inspiring. If you want the actual good part of Mr. Nicholson's acting just include the part where the character is put under arrest for that BS speech and he can't believe it. That is where the acting comes in.
Absolutely!!! Loved his performance in that movie ❤❤❤
He did 3 takes of that monologue and nailed it every single time

@@FinnMcRiangabrait's all subjective but you are objectively incorrect
Will got me crying in public. Gets me every time. You can feel that he s tapped into really life experience and drawing from that. Phenomenal performance
it got me too, I wanted to hug him. So so so powerful and raw and real.
Only part that made me tear up
Since the first time I saw it in like 94... I still bawl like a damned baby every single time... ❤😢❤
Watching the Robin Williams scene, you almost forget that it's a movie. It feels like you're not watching "entertainment". It's like you're really invested in an extremely personal conversation that's being shared by 2 men.
By a man to a boy*
That script was also hot. And look at the generous and delicate work of Matt Damon in that scene too. The barest of expressions.
I think that scene is probably going to remain my all time top favorite scene forever
@@luckyswine Good points. It's kind of amazing that that impressive script was written by Damon and Affleck. A screenplay with such subtlety and wisdom, at their relatively young age is quite remarkable.

it is an indication of how far social normalcy has to go that you wouldn't like to admit it

I never knew him but love him and miss him, good will hunting is one of my favorite films. I wish I had a councilor or somebody in my life like that. It hurts he has gone
alex gerling totally agree, his acting touched so many of us. He’s one of the few actors that I truly miss that makes me sad
Even when he was alive, just seeing him touched something deep in my heart. He radiated warmth.
@Ork Trukk DrivahYou'd have to be him to know that but I can tell you a few things about Lewy Body Dementia, which was Robin Williams diagnosis. It can cause well formed hallucinations, delusions, visual disturbances and profound confusion, REM sleep disurbance and autonomic disturbances like incontinence, dizziness and blood pressure drops. Brain on fire. It's truly terrible. If he was even thinking straight I imagine that he wanted to ward off what was waiting for him but I doubt he was thinking clearly. Really terrible disease. More aggressive in the early stages than Alzheimer's.
@@SDD-vb2rt i have never seen that film and i am 40 yo, you sir have convinced me to watch it
Jack’s “can’t handle the truth” monologue gets overshadowed by the great one liner but it’s truly a great monologue all together.
People just can’t handle the truth about how good he was
@@darakenny5408 I like what you did there.
Agree. The whole thing is phenomenal. In fact that dance between Jack and Tom is outstanding.
I read somewhere that he did that entire monologue in just 1 take. That’s true professionalism & dedication to the craft.
He was terrifying in that role. Awesome, awesome actor
I love that monologue from Good Will Hunting. It so perfectly flips the power dynamic between the two of them. Before this he had been coming up against a wall with Will because he used his imposing intellect as his defence, something that has so far worked against everyone he's met. That monologue utterly robs him of that defence while imploring him to let down the last one he still has up; his silence. The reason his intellect won't help him in this situation is because ultimately all he's being "threatened" with is an honest to god conversation, something he's never really been able to have.
A sharing that only few and far between therapists could make a breakthru with such a defenses up patient.
I thought the writing was formulaic and clichéd. Typical Hollywood Turning Point, written for people with poor attention who have to be beaten over the head with it to make sure they don't miss it.
Most of these monologues are like that. It's the writing, not the acting.
During the Charlie Rose's interview, Matt Damon said that Robin William said the whole monologue almost verbatim as he wrote in the script.
@@l.w.paradis2108a movie is only as good as its script. Everyone knows this; your ‘revelation’ is hardly noteworthy

The amount of emotional pain he endured was very real, whenever he stoped running with his mind , whenever he stood still , you could see it in his eyes ......I cried , i cried because it didn't matter how many people loved him , he was alone in his internal struggle , ......I just really want him to be free now , free , in peace and surrounded by love

You can see the sadness in his eyes 👀
My first acting read in front of a class in acting class in college. And actually the movie was good i wouldn’t have never watched it, if it wasn’t assigned to me. So thanks to my acting teacher. WHEREEVER she is!!! 🥂
I can’t decide what’s more inspirational.

Chris Lupica both
Robin
def robin w. stallones was to much like a cheerleader
I will say Robin and I will explain why. About 2 years ago I would have said both.
It has been my experience that life is not meant to knock you down. We are given the wrong rules. If you hands are on the wrong position on a keyboard you can never express the truth.
The rules as I know them are simple.
-Your creator is not a God. So don't worship. That includes Gods, others, your own children or your Ego (That one is really a tricky one)
-We are one organism in different bodies. The sooner you realize this the sooner the word starts working for you. If you are a cell that isn't playing well in an organism you will be restricted in nourishment and eventually removed from the system.
- Religions tend to divide. No matter how "well intentioned" they may seem they are devices elements. Elements of pride are device. Unite.
- You are blessed with certain things that others don't have, share your blessings continually and more will flow to you.
- Getting closer to your creator will increase the joy and blessings of this life. To do this help one another. Your creator cannot increase in magnitude and has setup this world as a series of checks and balances to encourage actions of love and unity and discourage the opposite.
-Believe in your creator's forgiveness. Hell does not exist outside of this world, each person creates their own hell by breaking the rules instituted by nature.
-The "devil" is actually in you. Those are the negative emotions and those that create fear that cause you to move away from what is good.
- You know all of this already. It was written in us before we were born. You just have to reason and you will it to be true.
Good luck!
@@surgio98 wow! I do not see the connection! 😆 quite a leap to go from living your life to the full potential to religious belief or non belief. No where in either monologues is creationism or religion mentioned. It’s not about how we got there, it’s about what we do when we’re there. And that’s what robin and sly are talking about. Understanding that nothing worth having is easy and you need to earn it, and there’s a huge difference between learning from a book and experiencing first hand.
We give the actors credit for delivering these lines, but equal credit also needs to go the writers who came up with these pieces of work.
Yes! Remember Matt was in college when he wrote Good will hunting.
Fuck the writers, bunch of filthy liberals
A lot of them were improvised too
Which makes Charlie Chaplin's monologue from "The Great Dictator" even more remarkable, since he both wrote it and delivered it.
This should be the top comment.
Robin Williams really earned that Oscar in this Good Will Hunting, it's amazing he's been gone 8 years.
I'm getting older, but Nicholson's speech. Just amazing. Credit to the writers, and Nicholson for his performance.

@@SlimPlum691 That whole scene is just brilliant. Will Smith ended up going off script during that scene and improvising most of it. James Avery was such a great actor that he immediately recognized when to give his costar room to breath. The scene is a young actor putting on a masterclass in acting while a more seasoned actor puts on a masterclass in reacting. I love watching it because it is so close to perfection, but I hate watching it because it makes me cry every time.
Truly a great scene. Made me misty then and now.

Kent Johnson this is the first time I've seen this and it gave me chills! I really loved him in The pursuit of happiness! Why doesn't he do more movies like that? He is a truly great actor but Hollywood doesn't seem to give him the opportunity or he chooses not to. Anyway I didn't expect this from the Fresh Prince of Bel air!

It hits those where it should, as it is a beautiful scene.
13:30 for the feels
It's one that i relate to more than every other one.
That's because it became real for him half way through the scene.
The hug is as genuine as they come.
I grew up without a father so it definitely hit me when he said “why don’t he want me”
The irony of Robin Williams is he is known as one of the great comedians of our times, but at the same time he is one of the great dramatic actors of our time. I don't remember a bad movie Robin Williams did. Also the Charlie Chaplin speech has me convinced this was truly from his heart and he used his platform to deliver one of the greatest speeches in American History
Freeman's reaction in Shawshank is particularly on point for me because it describes what prison does to people; The changes wrought are not the changes intended, but often the extreme opposite. His remorse is deep and compelling, but so what.
And, spoiler alert, this is the speech that got him out. Amazing performance.

James Avery's face reacting to Will... Uncle Phil is the father we all deserve.
The way Uncle Phil reached out and grabbed Will was what got me. He urgently needed to hug his nephew and show him he does have a father.

@@ryanbumrungkittikul5179 It's just so natural. Like James, not Uncle Phil, needed to hug the real Will Smith, not the character.
Just a beautifully acted scene. Or, maybe it wasn't acting at all. Just simply genuine emotion from two people who cared about each other.
As moving as this scene was, what James whispered into Will’s ear equally amazing.
When Will did that scene, he wasn’t acting... he was talking about his real father... that was his real, raw emotions. I feel honored to be able to see that

Well, in addition to Good Will Hunting, I'd suggest you seek out, The Fisher King, Insomnia, One Hour Photo, and Awakenings, for starters.

Charlie Chaplin's speech breaks my heart. Spoken so many years ago and it seems we've learned nothing in the intervening years. It should be played every day on television, radio, the internet...because the message is timeless, and sadly, never more necessary.
And only a few people in the comments felt it wich is devastating.
Every student should be shown the clip, and then discussed.
September Sapphire, I was thinking that myself. I have never seen that movie and have no idea of what it was, but that was beautiful!!!
Ive always liked parts of that speech, but there are many aspects of it that have now been proven to be the most totalitarian enabling devices of human history. Radio? Wow, imagine all the new communication we have, then see how much more distant we are today. No borders? Look at how that tanks economies and plunges more into crime and factions. If only he’d realized that to have the kingdom in man(kind), they first need the King to change their hearts; then we can truly be kind, showing charity and brotherhood.
taken out of context and re-applied to social media, it's fucking terrifying how accurate it is. As a species we've somehow managed to make having a conversation more toxic than nuclear radiation or a black winter. Really think upon that... it sounds silly, but it isn't; it's fucking dangerous.
You know.... All these great movies, great actors, and among them, Will Smith. A kid on a Television show asking why his Father doesn't want him.
That was a POWERFUL monologue.
Robin in GWH was his best role. More than deserved his Oscar. Such a tragic end for such a talented man.
I think as I mature, the less tragic it becomes. He had dementia and he chose his end to his story. He went out with dignity, he went by his choice, by his power. He did not become frail and weak. He went out a hero, and a legend, and we all remember how great of a man he was. He did not become a shell of who he once was. His death breaks my heart, he was one of my all time favorites, but he chose to go in power. RIP sir.
@@TheMattybas He had Parkinson's not dementia, which is not a death sentence.
The Fresh Prince scene is powerful stuff, because Will is always so confident, and he instantly withers under his hurt. Not an Oscar over-performance. Just an everyday person in agony. It feels so real.

Literally can't watch that scene without crying. Was scrolling looking for others that this scene really resonated with.
No matter what... Smiths acting... emotion... anger... amazing. The others... ... absolutely timeless.
It wasn’t an act
Bill Pullman in Independence Day is a MUST. The movie can be cheesy, but that speech leaves hearts pounding
Mother and Father of all creation are playing this touching video, Father was Johnny Cash. Our creators are here in physical flesh and have given everything possible to help all to wake up to this truth! Phone home today mama papa luvu
@@LOVEHAS1JOYRAINS2 it’s hard to call Johnny Cash. He’s been dead for a long fucking time now.
The Shawshank Redemption, one of the finest movies ever made and Morgan Freeman's portrayal of an institutionalized prisoner was award winning!
One of my all time favorites.
Can’t wait for my 3 year old to be old enough to watch it.
Amazing writing - beautiful interpretation, great directing
I disagree to a degree James Whitmore's (librarian) portrayal was better. He committed suicide shortly after being released
Definitely award winning. Sadly, it was competing with Gump and Pulp Fiction at the Oscars
Stop for a moment and just bask in the sheer brilliance of Charles Chaplin. His first "talkie" movie and he chooses to rise against tyranny. Let this be a lesson in our times. RIP Mr. Chaplin
Greg Piela indeed
I think his speech was the most hair raising because it is as prevalent then as it is now. It is timeless and the foresight is omnipresent. Just wish people cared less about political sides and more about each other.
Words from Chaplin were worth the wait.
Spot on!
@@serbisthehero1987l time is relevant. This is why.
Thank you for putting together some amazing acting, scripts and scenes put together! And let’s not forget the camera work editing etc to magnify the marvellous acting 👏🏽
Robin Williams scene with Matt Damen is one of the greatest ever... Point finale.
When Robin says "Because I read it in Oliver Twist" must one of the most epic lines ever.
That is amazing writing
Don't forget, the movie was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
@@kochoskym Yes indeed
Will Smith breaking into tears after being so angry and acting so indifferent hits me every time. The desire of a child to be loved by his/her parents doesn't go away just because the get older. And Uncle Phil did the best thing he could in that situation: He listened, he didn't judge, he didn't try to explain things away and he was there to hold Will when all that anger gave way to pure sadness.
This particular scene, I LOVE how broken James Avery looked at Wills emotional pain that he couldn't do anything and then when James hugged Will it was just perfect. Do you know the story behind the day of this scene?
It’s legit heartbreaking. It’s so real
That one gets me every time.
during the hug they shared, james avery whispered in will's ears the line:"well THAT is acting"
I can’t watch that scene without bursting into tears! Will and Avery were phenomenal! There’s one thing I’ve always wondered, though:
Did anyone else hear a woman- possibly Daphne Maxwell Reid, who was the second actress to play Vivian Banks- sobbing off camera?
Will’s outburst was so palpable that I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire cast and crew was in tears after that heartbreaking scene!
It's always called cheesy and corny but, to me, the Rocky monologue in this will always be one of the greatest speeches in a movie. Epic and worth remembering in the tough moments
I love it. It's true to his characte: a simple, blue collar sweetheart with an indomitable spirit.
The key is he doesn't say it's about winning, it's about taking hits and going on. It's a perfect foreshadow for Balboa specifically, but a great bookend to the series, with Rocky losing his first fight but displaying resiliency.
It's perfect, just perfect.
I play the rock monologue every time before the gym get my head in the game
its something that im afraid this new generation does not understand nor wants to comprehend.
This is so very true. Everyone needs to hear it now and again
I'm happy to be the 100th like on a comment I couldn't agree more with.
Jeff Daniels had monologs like this constantly during the run of this show and this one is by far period my period favorite period! He is such a great actor and this role fit him perfectly! They could have kept this show going. I could watch it over and over again.
Same!
Please tell me what this show is. This Monolog is brilliant.
„Newsroom“ written by Aaron Sorkin. Watch it! Still very relevant.
@@heidicross7255you can still get it on Max and HBO. I was so glad since I didn't see it when it was on originally. Well worth watching
Thinking the UK hate speech laws and Australia covid encampments are freedom. lol. Lmao even.
Robin Williams will always be my all time favorite actor. RIP 🪦 😢
He was one of the most versatile actors. He could do anything. Comedy. Romance. Drama.
The Charlie Chaplin speech brings me to tears every time.
Great movie too
its so truth what he saying yet people still march on to there and everyones doom sad
It just broke me up
Acting for My Life that speech is relevant today
Yeah powerful n passionate wasn't it
I’ve seen “Shawshank Redemption” so many times I’ve lost count. But every single time this scene plays I am riveted. When Morgan Freeman says, “I know what YOU think it means, Sonny” I can’t help but smirk. His portrayal of Red is legendary!
Shaw shank was amazing movie
Morgan amazing in it. Shoot I’d watch it again. Right now if I could
Yessss!!!! All of this!!!!
I know this says "5 months ago" but yet, I agree with you completely.
"Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" (By the great Stephen King) really is the best story I have ever read. I remember reading it when I was very young. I stayed up all night reading it. I wanted to know what happens next. Loved it.
When I found out they were going to make a movie, I was first in line.
I thought Morgan Freeman was perfect as "Red". That's how I pictured "Red" reading that story.
Truly, I think that story is a masterpiece and should be remembered as such. If you've only seen the movie, go read the story. It's wonderful.
@Babyface0603 Read it, my friend, you will not regret it. It truly is wonderful.
For anyone who enjoyed good will hunting the dead’s poet society is one of the greatest movies of all time and I highly recommend it
When she says 'when your a father...' and she takes that inhale of breath as emotion takes hold, its only a small bit but it always hits my heart.
Let's also not forget the brilliant screenplay writers who dreamt these words, strung them together, and conveyed the very depths of pure emotion and humanity. These actors and actresses sure breathed life into those words though. Every one here is truly stirring.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote the screen play for Good Will Hunting.. and they won an Oscar for it..
Yep - brilliant scripwiting is absolutely necessary (but not sufficient of course) for brilliant acting. You only have to look at some of these actors' less distinguished work where they have to deliver crap lines to see that.
And the fact Aaron Sorkin wrote three of these. A few good men, the newsroom, and Steve Jobs. the newsroom being the opening scene of Episode 1 , season 1 of the show.
Robin made that whole speech right then and there it’s been told by matt Damon
Some of these are based off true stories...
I was actually crying halfway through Will's monologue, he went so hard with that delivery you could feel how he was on the edge of tears.
Beta
from what I've heard those were real words he was saying, and it was brought from personal expiernece as well. that's why it felt so real cause it was real
@@navsquid32 ain't you the keyboard warrior princess? I'd drop your weak ass @ 200yds and never lose a bit of sleep...... Fucking chump.
@@navsquid32 careful everyone we got a real tough guy here
@@demetrispielman4906 It was fully scripted. It felt so real because that's the way real writing and real acting are supposed to feel. It sure worked with you.
I love Robin Williams. I miss him. He will always have a place in my heart
The monologue from Robin in Good Will Hunting was done in one take. Brilliant
and made him get an Oscar.
Robin Williams was a great man and an even greater actor. He will be thought of fondly and loved by generations to come...lots of amazing performances in this video!
💫💫💫🙌🏻
People who knew him have actually said that the other way around, that he was an even better person than he was an actor, and that he was an outstanding actor. I think that's why we all mourn his untimely death so much
All well said, and truer than true. My niece is 11, and anytime she visits me she wants to watch a VHS in my room at bedtime. She has watched all of my Robin Williams movies. Her favorite is Patch Adams. It's a unique choice for a child, as it always made me sad Before he died. My favorite is the movie Jack. But, to each their own. I'm glad he lives on from Mork to Mrs. Doubtfire
He will be beloved by generations, and missed by everyone that has had the privilege to see his work.
He was a fucking thief who stole alot of him material from black artist much like Elvis Jerry Lee Lewis and many other white artists who stole and profited from the work of black artists but carry the hell on✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽
He was just a good dude. The guy you like at the bar that has good quotes and good conversation. I heard that some sort of nueropathy (parks or some such) robbed him of joy. The very man who spread joy was denied. Very cruel prank by whatever is running this charade.
Wills speech is so damn perfect. Even the shakiness in his breathing is perfect. His acting blends what is real and what is a show so much that it pulls you in and makes you feel like you are standing in uncle Phil’s place.
If you didn't know, this scene turned into improv, and Will actually broke down, because the scene related to his past. If you listen at the very last second of the scene, you can hear someone in the back, apart of the directors crew crying. One of my favorite things about this scene, is how Uncle Phil reacted. He knew the only words to use where the words of physical love
@@RoseBudBeats Uncle Phil did what a lot of dads need to do... just listen.
Honestly, it brings me to tears again a month later. I kept thinking “where is this coming from?” Because that’s the perfect encapsulation of what it feels like inside (at least for me) to be a man who didn’t have a real male father figure. Cover it with toughness and flippancy but inside it’s like you’re a little kid, when he says “why didn’t he want me?” I can’t keep my s**t together. That’s some damn good acting, because even though it’s pretty dramatic, it doesn’t feel like acting, it feels like he experienced it…
@@RoseBudBeats That’s a rumor that was debunked when he was asked about it and said that he had a great dad and that monologue didn’t relate to his own childhood at all.
EDIT: Actually I guess he’s been asked about it a bunch, there’s more than one interview out there where he talks about it to some degree. The best one was pretty in depth and he talks about how James Avery (Uncle Phil) really pushed him in preparing for the scene. He even talks about how when they were on set actually running it he kept messing up his lines until Avery called him down, so it seems like it probably wasn’t improv, and he’s talked at length about the great relationship he had with his own father before he passed (well into Wills adulthood) but if anything it’s commendable that Will was able to deliver that scene so convincingly given that he had no actual life experience with the subject matter.
@@popperpoppler4569 I was about to comment this same thing before I saw yours 😂
Why we love and need epic film performances.
Thank you for posting. Damn, damn good. Thank you.
The Charlie Chaplin monologue couldn't be more relevant today if it tried.
It’ll resonate throughout time.
Your so right , the Democrats and liberals are really trying to steal power from this country
Chaplin was a Commie leftist. Look him up and know things before you praise that speech.
@@thraxioniv jesus isnt real but he wasnt wrong about life being peakk
This is an amazing speech but I don’t know why it’s on here, he’s not acting
It is hard to believe Robin Williams didn’t win an Oscar for every role he played. My favorite was Good Morning Vietnam
Agreed. He touched people’s souls with his performances.
Good morning Vietnam, Patch Adams, Dead poets society, awakenings, hook, good will hunting and Mrs. Doubtfire are some the greatest things ever made.
It isn't that hard for me
Robin Williams was special. And even if he never won an Oscar, he is maybe one of the most beloved person in film history. I am from bay area and it hit us particularly hard. He was a constant presence at Giants games. I was at a game, after his suicide, where his kids threw the first pitch to a standing ovation of teary eyed people. It was hard to lose Robin.
@@kevinumber7 he won an Oscar for best supporting actor in good will hunting
Man, some great ones here! Thanks for posting…
The will smith segment is outstanding. Both people did an amazing open job. Has me tearing up each time I see it.
The Chaplin speech is epic and so true......just a shame that in the 81 years since he said this, we haven't listened to a bloody word of it!
Spot on. You are so right.
You’re right, I’d say we’re a maximum of three generations from an authoritarian regime. People love to talk about the Constitution but never bother to read it.
Some have.
I wish the world would listen to this speech at the very end by Chaplin and I wish they would truly take it to heart what a better world we would live in if we did amen father amen preach it
He quotes Matthew in the New Testament. Bible BAD, Man Good...LOL People are idiots and kill all their prophets!
The Fresh Prince scene...😭 that shit hits hard.
All of the selections were great and hit hard! Good real material that is genuine and hits the heart
Good Will Hunting remains as some of the best writing and acting to date.
Robin Williams in Will Hunting owns my heart. He has such talent. He means every word he says, and you completely forget that he is acting. The emotions on his face and in his eyes, You can feel the pain, the memories, and the sadness. It is the best monologue
I prefer his one at the end of One Hour Photo, but yeah. Fucking fantastic
That is great acting when the viewer believes you and is feeling what you are feeling. He had a great career I remember I first saw him in jumanji man I love that movie.
The raw emotion from Will in that scene, and the way Uncle Phil looks at him is absolutely unbelievable. My eyes well up with tears every time I hear Will cut from what he is saying to scream with such fury "TO HELL WITH HIM" only to turn to Uncle Phil and simply ask as if pleading "how come he don't want me, man?" It kills me.
@Pint - i remember catching that show. I didn't have time for much TV then, but i was pregnant and the Dad had recently walked out on the child he asked me to conceive. You know my heart was breaking ...for my unborn boy. (Didn't even know for sure i was carrying a baby boy, tho intuitively, i knew.)
The actor who played uncle Phil had a line but he was so over come by will smith’s speech that he just grabbed him and hugged him cause he knew about will smith’s real past
@@darkoverlord9348 Well that's just made me tear up all over again!
That one is powerful. I was instantly crying.
@@darkoverlord9348 for Will it was too real.
Great compilation. Thank you.
I had that Rocky speech on a workout playlist on soundcloud back in highschool. I knew that speech by heart, and damn did it keep me motivated.
God, Robin Williams hits my heart so hard. Truly one of the most missed humans who existed.
Charlie Chaplin's speech is so incredibly powerful and perfectly delivered. He came to fame in silent films with comedy but this is a large part of his legacy.
My favorite human. So glad I got to meet him before he passed.
@@patricia5810
How did you meet him
What movie is his monologue from? It's brilliant.
@@anthonysantellan1861The Great Dictator
@@LasVegas72 I was thinking the exact same thing. It's frightening that we haven't gotten any smarter since then and perhaps even the opposite.
I have listen to this speech for so long that at current moments it a bewildering sensation to feel but feel and feel dearly because at your end what u felt is all that matters
Thora Hird's 30-minute monologue in Alan Bennet's 'Waiting for the telegram' is amazing. I believe she was 87 years old at the time and won an award for her performance.
Robin Willam’s park bench monologue is one of the greatest in history trumps all of the other ones. RIP to a legend
Kind of ironic that he wanted to play it over the top, but the director made him tone it down.
Robin Williams taught me a lot about life in that monologue. Definitely a legend.

THIS is the EXACT moment when Will Smith went from great to AMAZING! Makes me cry every time...
First time seeing this scene, for us who understand deeply those words this is very Impressive.
Just discovered Dax! In total resonance. Beautiful. sharing with everyone I know.
God Bless you. Keep going!
The power of the 2nd scene in the context of the film is enormous.. he essentially did back to will what will had done to another person in an earlier scene. Except sean did it better, it was the first time in wills life someone had dismantle him like that and Sean proved he was a genius in his field.
