5.-Peter Banning (Hook)
"I'm not gonna make it to my next birthday"
En quinto lugar tenemos a uno de los personajes mas recordados de Robin Williams y ese es Peter. Si no ubican la pelรญcula, es la pelรญcula donde Peter Pan es un adulto y regresa al Pais de Nunca Jamas. El papel en si es dificil, solo piensen el talento que se debe tener para actuar como un Peter Pan adulto y abogado, pero Williams hizo un excelente trabajo. Gracias a este filme junto con la pelรญcula flubber Williams formo parte de la infancia de muchos.
In the fifth place we have one of the most memorable roles of Robin Williams and that's Peter. If you don't remember the movie, is the one where Peter Pan is already an adult and returns to Neverland. The role itself is difficult, just think about the talent required to act as a Peter Pan who is now an adult and a lawyer, but Williams made an excellent job. Thanks to this movie Williams was part of the childhood of many.
4.- Dr. Sean Maguire (Good Will Hunting/ Mente indomable)
"You don't know about real loss 'cause that only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself"
Mente indomable o en Busca del destino es una pelรญcula muy buena donde Robin Williams se destaca con el papel de un psicรณlogo. La calidad del trabajo de Williams en esta pelicula no esta a discusion, simplemente es muy buena. Tan buena que le dio un Oscar por mejor actor de soporte. Aparte que hay que admirar que varias de las lรญneas mas significatibas de este filme fueron improvisadas por el actor, lo cual le dio a este personaje un toque รบnico.
Good Will Hunting is a great movie where Robin Williams stands out in the role of a therapist. The quality of the work of Williams in this film is not to discussion, it's just amazing. So amazing that gave him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Also we have to admire that several of the most popular lines of this film were improvised by Williams, which gave this character a unique touch.
3.- Genie (Aladdin)
Aladdin: "Genie, I'm going to miss youGenie: "Me too, Al. No matter what anyone says.. you'll always be a prince to me."
Talvez se pregunten porque el Genio esta en la tercera posicion y no en la primera D: Debido a que el Genio es de mis personajes favoritos de Disney y Aladdin es mi segunda pelicula favorita de todo Disney! Bueno, esto es porque yo creci con la version doblada al espaรฑol de Aladdin y estoy mas acostumbrada a esa que la version en Inglรฉs. Si estuviera mas encariรฑada con el doblaje original probablemente lo pondria en primer lugar. xD La versiรณn en Inglรฉs ya la vi de grande pero igual me gusta mucho. Williams hace un buen doblaje del genio,le da vida y personalidad a este personaje.
The Genie is one of my favorite Disney characters and maybe you are wondering why the Genie is on the third position and not on the first D: Well, this is because I grew up with the Spanish dubbed version of Aladdin and I'am more used to that than the English version. If I were more fond of the original dubbing I would probably put the Genie on the top of my list. xD Anyways I think that Williams did a good job as the voice actor of the genie. He gives life and personality to this character.
2.- Patch Adams (Patch Adams)
"[Talking to God on the edge of a cliff,contemplating suicide] Yeah, I could do it. We both know you wouldn't stop me. So answer me please. Tell me what are you doing. Ok, let's look at your logic. You create man. Man suffers enormous amounts of pain. Man dies. Maybe you should have had just a few more brainstorming sessions prior to creation. You rested on the seventh day. Maybe you should've spent that day on compassion. You know what? You're not worth it. [Walks away from the cliff.]
En segundo lugar tenemos al personaje de Hunter Patch Adams. Debe ser difรญcil actuar un personaje real y hacer un buen trabajo que hasta las personas que conozcan al verdadero Patch Adams piensen que es exactamente como el. Para Robin Williams fue un personaje que simplemente le quedo como anilllo al dedo. Con su actuaciรณn en esta maravillosa pelicula nos hizo reir,llorar, enamorarnos y apreciar mas la vida.
In second place we have Hunter Patch Adams. It must be hard to act as a real character and make a good work that the people who know the real Patch Adams think that he's exactly like him. Patch Adams is a character that was made for Willliams. With his wonderful performance on this movie we laugh,cry, and felt in love.
1.- Professor John Keating (Dead Poets Society/ El club de los Poetas Muertos)
"Because believe it or not, each and everyone of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die."
Estaba indecisa si poner al O Capitรกn, mi Capitรกn en primer puesto, pero no pude evitarlo es mi personaje favorito. La actuacion de Williams es impresionante, lo cual le otorgo una nomidacion para un Oscar como mejor actor. Eso en conjunto con el asombroso guiรณn ganador del oscar, hace del Club de los Poetas Muertos una obra de arte. Durante la pelicula el tiene una gran influencia en los estudiantes con sus discursos y su manera de vivir de acuerdo a "Carpe Diem", pero su actuaciรณn en mi opiniรณn es tan buena que sale de la pantalla para influenciar al publico. El Club de los Poetas Muertos es de mis peliculas favoritas y me llena de una tristeza dulce saber que Robin Williams a aprovechado su dia, haciendo su vida extraordinaria.
I was undecided whether to put O Captain, My Captain in first place, but I couldn't help it, He's my favorite character. The performance of Williams is awesome, which awarded him one nomination for an Oscar as best actor. That plus the oscar-winning script,makes Dead Poets Society a work of art. During the movie he has a great influence on the students with his speeches and his way of living according to "Carpe Diem", but in my opinion his performance is so good that leaves the screen to touch the public. Dead Poets Society is one of my favorite movies and I'm full of a sweet sadness to know that Robin Williams seized his day, making his life extraordinary.
Otras pelรญculas famosas donde podemos recordar a este gran actor son: Flubber, Jumanji, Una Noche en el museo, August Rush, Robots, Happy Feet, Hamlet,Buenos dias Vietnam entre muchas otras.
