Robin Williams’ Most Inspiring Quote Came From His Worst Movie
Please, don’t worry so much.
Robin Williams was my idol when I was a kid.
Mrs. Doubtfire wasn’t just the funniest movie I’d ever seen, it was also the first time I’d taken serious notice of the comedic talents on display in a motion picture.
There’s a strong argument to be made that Williams was the catalyst that launched my love of cinema. But I guess we’ll never know.
What I do know, however, is that not all of his movies were hits. Despite his insane level of talent.
The 1996 comedy-drama ‘Jack’, starring Williams in the title role, was a critical and commercial atomic BOMB.
Along with a slew of negative reviews, the film barely recuperated its budget at the global box office.
What made the public response even more perplexing was that the man behind the camera, director Francis Ford Coppola, was responsible for crafting arguably the greatest film of all time — The Godfather.
But while Jack didn’t exactly catch fire how it was supposed to, the film did offer audiences what I feel to be the most inspirational movie quote of Robin Williams’ sensational career.
