Robin Williams - Patch Adams

Arthur Mendelson: How many fingers do you see?
Patch Adams: Four.
Arthur Mendelson: No no! Look beyond the fingers! Now tell me how many you see.

Of all the movies that Robin Williams has done, this one resonates with me the most. I feel that "Patch Adams" let Robin explore his core character of a troubled individual struggling with himself, and politics, and the heavy grief that comes with living, and really just trying to spread joy. It was as if he was simply playing himself. Robin Williams was defiant and joyful, he pushed the limits every time. From standup comedy to movies like Patch Adams, he ran the full spectrum. Every Saturday will be a tribute to the man, the myth, the legend...
