There is love so pure. My wife passed away not 15 months ago, and to have felt, and lost, that love as Robin Williams describes it, is beyond common understanding. To have someone in your life, that you would go through fire and flames for just to see them smile. And that smile would turn away the darkest skies and make the sun shine. Love so powerful, that it could make your day, if you saw them being happy. And who would even give you a smile, when their day was bad. Being each other's angels, and make the rest of the world "disappear", when you saw into their eyes. Don't give up on love, because it really is out there.

I was 18 in 1997 and only just finished watching it earlier today. Wow! 😯 🎆

This scene is obviously Robin's moment and clearly the scene that earned him his long overdue deserved Oscar. But, what Damon does toward the end of the monologue when Robin has cut through all his defenses to get to the heart of the matter arriving at this moment of truth heightened reality moment has always gripped me. Matt is doing very minimalist acting giving Robin all the space he needs to cook which he does and is, but then those precise specific moments where Damon maintains his poker face, but his side-eying begins here indicating to us the exact moment in time Robin's character had broken through Will's bullet proof armour and for the first time Will hopelessly attempting to maintain his facade, but desperately trying to read this unlikeliest of sage's face and mannerisms for some sort of hint or clue in how to deal with him, but literally left in a state of discombobulated confusion grasping for a way to process a meriad of emotions bombarding him not the least of which is he has no muscle memory of life experience to draw from in how to handle a situation where he inexplicably he has been outmatched, out played, out psyched by some one he now knows he respects, has hurt, totally misread, but completely has his number and calling him out point after point like some lightening round of This Is Your Life of the Damned. But, most of all, that worst creeping up feeling that all cynics and the jaded have to confront sooner or later if they're lucky: when someone does come along who suddenly does care, is a difference maker, the game changer, but all you know is pain and betrayal and putting up walls as a result so how do you relearn a lifetime of trauma to even begin to trust that gift of help or believe and let into your brutalized soul hope? Its all there in those frantic, darting eyes lost at sea flaling for a life preserver or what to do. Its revieting and a masterclass of minimist acting while giving your scene partner everything they need. These two made movie magic together. Matt got that opportunity. Ben had no scenes with Robin and never got to gave that chance. Nobody ever in the twenty five plus years has ever asked Ben that publicly and I've always wondered how he feels about that.

This is the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

No wonder Robin Williams won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in this movie.

Robin shaped so much of my childhood and I miss him so much. But damn what an actor

This speech was supposedly on one take. No cuts or second attempts. Incredible scene.

This scene will forever speak to me. So many lessons in it. It teaches you about love and it teaches you about judging others. Despite how intelligent you are, or what your story is, how can you judge the human experience another has gone through by just looks or a brief interaction with them? Truly miss Robin Williams brilliance on the screen. I’ve never watched a pivotal moment in a movie and had it feel so real and make me evaluate how I treat others every times I see it. Love this movie

This is the perfect scene. Oh Captain, My Captain, we miss you!

R.I.P. Robin Williams. This scene alone made me appreciate his craft even more. At times, it still feels surreal. 💯❤️

One of the greatest scenes in movie history 👏

Hard to think of a better monologue than this.. Robin was my favorite actor. RIP ❤️

It’s important in my life that I come back to this video every now and then. Feel like It’s good to humble myself and remember what really matters.

As I have looked back on the many successes of Robin, I see someone as grounded and desirous of showing the human spirit. That is a very special talent that few bring to the screen. This monologue exemplifies the talent of Robin and his extraordinary work. It’s sad he’s gone, RHIP.

You can see the moment it stops becoming acting when robin Williams states the phrase " i see a cocky scared shitless kid" in his eyes! his eyelids drop maybe 1-3 centimeters and the light disappears, but you see the difference between intelligence vs experience! Amazing beautiful acting that shows the depth and honesty between existence itself. you can see the actors weren't just acting but in their own eyes and heart they understood it was so much deeper than what would be explained!

This movie had the best script and delivery of any movie that I've ever seen. Still touching after all these years.

Watching this movie now on Netflix, it's been a few years since I last watched it. What a masterpiece.

“Someone who could level you with her eyes. That God put an angel on the Earth just for you” such a beautiful way to describe the feeling of finding your soulmate

a powerful scene that shows the extraordinary difference between knowing something intellectually and truly understanding something and the courageous vulnerability it takes to bridge that gap.

One of the best movies of all time and the ending is perfect. Our imagination is more entertaining than anything we could possibly ever get on film. 10/10

I think that lesson of male bonding is so important. Hollywood tries to emulate it, but often falls short. Men are deeply emotional and those bonds they establish early in life make them the men they are. The importance of mentorship can’t be underestimated.

I loved this man & I miss him every day. He was so good in this film, he turned a very predictable story into an unforgettable moment in cinema history. Robin Williams was remarkably without the ego that far too many " actors " have. And here, in a key moment, he is both therapist, & friend to a troubled kid . And in the process, Will begins to see Sean as someone he can & must, listen to, for once in his life. Legendary scene. -----MJL, 77 y/o

His passing is so sadly poetic. Pain is pain. Don’t underestimate others pain that can be hidden behind the biggest jokes or smiles.

I watched this movie for 1st time the other day. Someone said it was good & I knew nothing about it’s content/production/background etc. Honest to god, i was rendered speechless, in tears & completely blown away when this monologue came up. I love RW anyway, but this showed what a truly gifted performer he was. Flawless at comedy (obvs) but my word he could do deep, serious & emotional to a special level when he needed to. Up there with the greats in my opinion. In fact just Googled it and he’s #16 on IMDb greatest actress ever list. Well deserved in my opinion. Miss him a lot

This takes my breath away

We all yearn for a mentor like this. Even really hard case dysfunctional kids or criminals or whatever - everyone putting on a tough act and being destructive to themselves and others, just crying out for such a mentor. Unfortunately though, oftentimes even when confronted with such a mentor as Sean here, some people would be so damaged, they would be incapable of recognising the wisdom Sean is imparting and might even just interrupt him and say "F off". Some people get so lost they can't even hear wisdom being gifted to them.

without words... straight to the soul

I wish I could’ve been there to see Ben and Matt’s reaction to this genius bringing their words to life

The meaning behind this scene is infinitely deep and every time I watch it, my perspective enhances on life. This scene, these words, the rawness of these characters has changed my life and I know for many others as well. Bueatiful storytelling

This always blows me away

One of the best movie scenes ever! If not the best. Miss you robin

Some of the best dialog I have ever seen on screen. Ben and Matt should be so proud of this

Still to this day one the best scenes ever filmed. Classic film!

give the writers their tens !!! this was truly the most beautiful monologue i’ve ever heard, we miss you Robin 🫶🏾

You can feel the words spoken right to you. Rest in peace, sir 🙏

One of Robin William's finest performances. But I think Matt Damon was good too, seeing the change in him from defensive defiance to realizing the truth of what he was hearing, and the arrow hit home, and he was silent. But you can feel the intense emotion in the silence.

Never watched this movie until now. I had to pause after this scene and collect my bearings. That had to be the best delivery. Goosebumps ran through my body… what an actor. RIP Robin Williams

And to think the man sitting next to him on that bench, the one he was talking to, was, at the time, a 27-year-old man who co-wrote that brilliant screenplay with his costar and friend. That said, there are certain monologues, especially those out of Robin's mouth, that are so heartfelt and brilliant, that they can make you think, "Was this in the script or is this coming from him?"

Has always been my favorite movie. Touches the soul in all its messiness and rawness. It showed me in that authenticity, lied the greatest love.

This is truly a great performance from Robin Williams

Every time I watch this, it still makes me cry

I was just sitting on that bench yesterday! The tree to the left at the beginning has a few more bumps on it than it did in the movie.

"It's alright". So subtle, yet to powerful

This has to be one of the best movies ever written and acted. I just love it.

When they both spoke there was some sense of honesty and a bit of relaxation. And just understand what it was to hear real truth.

A beautiful piece of cinema history. I go back to this scene over and over again.

Acting at its best... I always try to see this scene to detect all the aspects of this amazing script and acting, but is impossible... Is so well done that im always envolved by the message like if a teacher is giving me a life lesson.

Amazing scene. The camera work is just sensational, too! I love how the camera slowly gravitates over to Will at just the perfect moment.

i cry every time i watch this, i don't know why i keep coming back

Brilliant writing and acting. RIP Robin. Hope you’re finally at peace

RIP Robin Williams 🙏 ♥ You're movie scenes will always stay with us!

I believe this is the greatest scene in Hollywood history… it doesn’t get better than this…. Perfection

This scene really hits in different points as your life moves forward, every couple of years I recommend watching this. RIP Robin.

I’ve sat upright at the bedside of someone I loved and yes the hospital staff knew that the term ‘visiting hours’ didn’t apply to me. Blessed to have someone to love that hard ❤
