I love the movie too, but the hate comes from the fact that they promised to give Patch Adams himself a sizeable donation off of this movie. They broke their promises to him.
Okay, okay, I hear all this AGAIN...BUUUUT, why was there not a cent forthcoming for his hospital? I don't hear anywhere an answer to that.... Does anybody know? Then please share
Considering how elitist and poorly operated the American healthcare system has always been, Patch Adams and people who follow in his footsteps will forever be needed at the helm of medical reform for this country whose morals are exactly as movie director Tom Shadyac described at the beginning of this clip.
Yeah... too bad ELITIST Hollywood made billions with the movie and they didn't donate one cent to the _real_ Patch Adams' _real_ free hospital... "During a speech in 2010 at the Mayo Clinic, Patch Adams said, 'The film promised to build our hospital. None of the profits from the film ever came to us, and so, basically 40 years into this work, we are still trying to build our hospital.'" (th-cam.com/video/CdCrPBqQALc/w-d-xo.html) Get off your high horse.
👓👔🧢 This 🎬 is Disgusting If Want to talk about other Form of methods on helping patients Fine If you want to Send a message That improves lives Fine BUT DO IT As a Fucking adult Not this Childish Fabricated Bullshit
I have mixed opinions on this movie. I enjoyed it as a child, but after I heard what Hunter Adams had to say about it, my opinion changed. Adams comments in this interview about how he didn't want a "goofy doctor" movie, but unfortunately, that's exactly what they made. Also, he mentions how he wanted the movie to help build his hospital, but I recall Adams complaining in an interview about how he never got any money from the studio to build the hospital. Or maybe he complained that Robin Williams didn't donate any money to it; I'm not sure.
I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but I believe Patch Adams is quite narrow minded when it comes to the positives that the media can have. The film wasn't supposed to be a fundraiser for his hospital - it was to tell a tale about an extraordinary and selfless visionary. Large budget movies have to be a profit making business - and I think Robin Williams did an incredible job. I'm also sure that the impact of this movie inspired so many people to dig deep into their pockets and donate to Patch Adam's hospital. It would be very interesting to see a breakdown of donations for his hospital before and after the film was released. And yes, Robin Williams was a millionaire but he has spent a great deal of his wealth supporting 37 charities and 26 causes.

+cat thornberg Well this movie was basically a big disservice to the real Patch Adams (the long haired guy with the mustache), because it portrayed him as a clownishly immature idiot who spent the entire time acting that way through medical school when the real Patch was a very smart guy who only used laughter and joy as healing if needed and in a mature fashion, and was a guy full of theories and ideas who knows how to treat patients and what techniques to use as a way of helping patients get and feel better.
Maybe that's why the real Patch despised the decision for Robin as himself in the film...he later dismissed this and said there was some intelligence behind it but I personally think he's lying.
Welcome to Hollywood. Enjoy your stay. We take your story... and we transform it into a gold mine. If you agree with us, there's plenty of it for you. If you don't, then we will steal it. Have a nice day.
@BeyondEnchantment not saying Robin didnt nail it in his own way. Notice how I said also. Im just saying imagine how this movie wouldve been if they gave it to Jim Carrey instead😳
I don't understand the hate. The movie was inspiring and life changing for me. I would never have heard of Patch Adams without it.
Katie Newville - same here. It encouraged me look harder for much better medical care than what a person is typically given.
I love the movie too, but the hate comes from the fact that they promised to give Patch Adams himself a sizeable donation off of this movie. They broke their promises to him.
The reason Why people hate It is because The movie is Mocking a real life Doctor
Patch is an awesome example of humanity and how it should be all around the world
Patch adams was one of the greatest movies I ever watched. It just brought me to tears
I'm sorry they tried to treat you that way. You are a real hero to the real people you have touched. The people you have healed.
Omg the real patch adams is so amazing
Man I wish Robin would have had more time with Patch...damn that dude was great.
Agree
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. I’m so glad Parch Adams was real.
In the end, producers, director, studios STILL fucked him by not providing funds for Gesundheit.
Shameful.
One of my favorite of robin Williams. I miss him
Haha Patch has a fork earring 😂
Andi yes, i saw that to. Seeing him today was so incredible. I personally thanked him for being at the fair. Love and happiness is so great.
I love that movie ya 🙂🙃
Okay, okay, I hear all this AGAIN...BUUUUT, why was there not a cent forthcoming for his hospital?
I don't hear anywhere an answer to that....
Does anybody know?
Then please share
It was a great movie Robin Williams will be missed.
I totally love the movie as well as this documentary 🙏
There are truly ANGEL's on earth........ How do i know this ?? You just meet one.
I don’t know about angels but I think this is what being a admirable human being looks like. This is attainable for all of us

The real patch adams didnt get a penny from the movie
They played a joke on him... TROLOLOL.
Absolutely shameful.
King of happy_drama Robin

So am I. The movie was nothing but horribly written mostly non-factual BS.

If laughter and happiness heal, then that movie gave me cancer
+cat thornberg Then I fear what DOES make you laugh.

Jesse King There is some intellect in this. I mean listen to the stuff you hear and so on.

You know who wouldve also nailed this movie as Patch Addams? Jim Carrey. And he wouldve looked younger than Robin so it woulda been a plus.
