He will be missed; a lot of us have just lost a part of our childhood. Also; here's a fun fact that you probably didn't know. Robin Williams had Aspergers Syndrome, the same Autism Spectrum Disorder that I have.

dead poets society one of the greatest movies ive ever seen......
Im envious that you are seeing it for the first time and will enjoy the thrill of seeing it as well as his many other legendary movies
id also recommend awakenings with deniro, good will hunting for which he won an oscar, good morning vietnam,les famous classics include the survivors with the equally legendary walter matthau, cadillac man, one hour photo, patch adams brilliant, fisher king is great, being human, insomina, world according to garp, jumanji, birdcage, what dreams may come, etc and his movies were just a miniscule fraction of his infinite talent and passion

he could speak on almost any topic eloquently, intelligently, knowledgably and hilariously....he could impersonate most people, he could riff on any subject, interviewers didnt even ask questions they just sat back and laughed and marvelled at the bigest genius in hollywood.....

oh captain my captain , I love you, you wonderful warm unique funny , genuine, sensitive , sincere beautiful soul....we still have so much love for you in our broken hearts......God knows how much we need a person like you...your work your joy your energy your genius lives on forever .carpe diem....:angel::angel:

...jeez it’s one of those times when reading something physically floors you..this is too sad, I’ve thought about suicide a lot recently and it doesn’t matter how loved you are if it’s not what you feel and it must be such a world of isolation, it’s so hard to understand..an entire world loved Robin, how can so much love not make a difference..this line from Good Will Hunting keeps going round and round in my head...’I teach this ****, I didn’t say I know how to do it..’...he taught so many people how to smile, how to feel good ..if only he could have had those feelings enough himself..but he gave and he made a difference..RIP Robin..xxxxx....

Its sad
he was having trouble.
In Rehab.


Sad as he still was good in films
despite his depression.


He had amazing energy

RIP

the media talks around these subjects but never addresses the subject full on
people are depressed , millions of them...why? they pop a pill and it numbs the pain, but why is there pain? i believe were trying to be too scientific about it, were trying to find factual answers when the truth is its a complex social problem. people are lonely, isolated, unfulfilled in their relations

even kings and queens like elvis, marylin monroe, james dean, whitmey houston ,jim belushi, kurt cobain, richard pryor was an alcohlic as was larry hagman, richard burton, amy winehouse, alex higgins, george best, now robin williams to name but a few of the legends who were ravaged by drink or drugs or suicide

i ask myself they were entertaining the world and making us all happy....but who was making them happy?

i feel resigned myself to the horror in this world, not the wars in foreign fields, what kills me is the coldness in the hearts of the people we meet...stuck up kids brought up by stuck up superficial parents...style over substance, where image and ego supercedes everything

i see people attend weddings and funerals and nothing in between. people who only do kind things in front of acamera and never behind one...all front and no back people. never there for you in life in tough times, yet they attend your funeral to look like good people and drink free wine

all it takes fo revil to succeed is for good men to do nothing
good people need to reconnect more, this world needs changing now
lets start tonight, for robin

Wrong
Bill O'Reilly on his Show (FoxnewsHD)
had loads of guests that knew Robin.
Great Insight
how Robin never turned off.

Feel quite sad about his,the way that he died makes it worse for me. Rest in peace

??? You want to talk?


Still upset. Good morning Britain showed Jackie chan after Robin WIlliams and I thought oh my god I hope I never have to hear this about Jackie chan in my lifetime. I love that man so much.

I cannot express how sad this makes me feel.

I want to watch a Robin Williams marathon now.

I heard about this last night and when I woke this morning I thought I'd dreamt it.....still can't quite believe it...:sad:

I heard about Awakeings, but i haven't see it.

Davina was just on Sky News talking about it

nanu nanu Robin

:bawling:

I have laughed many many times at Robin Williams, very sad news indeed.

he was amazing as a dramatic actor as well. love dead poets society.

the world has lost a very talented and funny man!
Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone.

oh ammi :sad:

if you ever feel down, please do message me

:love:

...hawww, CeeCee and Caitlin I didn't mean me...it was someone I knew who committed suicide recently and I guess because I had posted about it in a discussion thread before I didn't even think how my post sounded...but you're both sweethearts..:love:...


..maybe this post could be deleted and the two quoting mine so the thread is for Robin only..?...

Williams plays a (true story) dj who went out to Vietnam during the war and shook up the airwaves. Brilliant

It's a wonderful movie. :lovedup:

To be fair I think it would be highly inappropriate to start reporting on depression and mental illness in relation to his death this early. Very little is actually known.

I think, for now at least, it's best they report his death, offer condolences to his loved ones and have guests to share happy memories about him. Remember what a great person he was.

This is so sad RIP to an amazing actor :(

:hug:

This piece on This Morning is so sad.

They've just played a clip of him on an American talk show a few years ago doing a piece to camera about depression and seeking help ending with "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem".

:sad:
