Robin's Academy Award Winning Dialogue
Robin Williams is dead, and while millions grieve I want to offer up my remembrance of the great comic, actor and humanitarian with the movie clip above. It's a simple enough scene. Robin with Matt Damon from the movie "Good Will Hunting". It was filmed in the famous "Public Gardens' Pond" in Boston's Back Bay where people come to "sail" on the swan boats, walk through the rows of beautiful flowers, watch the ducks and the swans and often sit and talk on the park benches that ring the pond. People come to sit on those benches, and for the time that they are there the world's problems can seem to melt away. Those park benches will never look quite the same to me from this day on. Robin left his heart there on one of those benches and the world took notice. He was no longer just a comic who played Mork. He was a voice that spoke the truth. He made us laugh and cry. Today he is making us cry once again.
Today the people of Boston have turned that ordinary park bench that Robin and Matt sat on while filming "Good Will Hunting" into a shrine to Robin's memory. Today we should all take a moment to remember this great man who left us all too soon. Robin Williams himself uttered those words: "You don't know about real loss."
You are wrong Robin...today we all do. RIP Robin.
