What Dreams May Come (1998)
In a movie that was often ridiculous and overblown, Robin still brought great talent and grace. Here he is in a scene almost too hard to watch tonight, saying goodbye to his wife once he’s finally found her in the underworld and has to let her go all over again.
I can’t be the only one who believed him on the first watch.
I feel called out
little miss watches "dead poets society" weekly but turns it off right after neil’s play
What Robin Williams character am I?
“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”

1. Ewan McGregor Movie Review: Being Human (1994)
EDITING NOTE: I didn't realize until a week after I posted this that I grossly miscalculated the Screentime Percentage. I'm sorry for that oversight and the correct SP is now posted in the review.
Our first review is here! 🎉
Being Human is our inaugural Ewan McGregor movie review and stars the late, great, Robin Williams.
Funny enough, if this movie came out ten or even five years later then I would have put it in the "guest appearance" category and not written a review. That's how small Ewan's role was lol. However, I felt that it was only fair to start with this one because....this is Ewan's first ever movie role! That's right, you'd be forgiven for thinking his first movie role was in "Shallow Grave" but his career started far more humbly lol.
Movie Review: Being Human is about a soul, Hector, that we watch be reincarnated into five different lives over the span of centuries. He lives as a caveman, Roman slave, Scotsman, Portuguese man, and finally, a modern family man. Throughout his lives, he experiences hardships and must decide how to handle them, though he doesn't always make the right decision. He also crosses paths with a couple of other people from his past lives. This movie is veryyyy slow. It's two hours of literally watching someone live their life no matter how mundane some moments of life are. However, the movie is also heartfelt and feels strangely nostalgic even though I never watched it growing up. I also really like the concept of the soul reincarnating and getting the chance to redo past mistakes. Watching this movie a second time definitely made me appreciate it more and the beauty that lies in a life simply lived.
Ewan Review: Ewan plays a character named Alvarez who has been shipwrecked with Hector. He has a whopping three, that's right, THREE lines! His character is not integral to the story and if you didn't know he was in the movie then you probably wouldn't even notice him. He looks much older than his actual 22 years as well, especially considering how he looks in his next project "Shallow Grave."
Screentime Percentage (the numbers here have been rounded to the nearest whole number): Ewan is on screen for a grand total of 2/122 minutes making his SP a lowly 2%.
To Ewan or not to Ewan: Is this movie worth watching for Ewan content alone? Absolutely not. Is the movie worth watching? Yes, though the slow pacing is not for everybody.
Conclusion: Being Human is a quiet and contemplative film about life, our place in it, and how our love can span lifetimes. If you're a fan of Robin Williams and you have two hours to spare then I would encourage you to give it a watch. I rented the movie through YouTube which was the only place I could find it online.
P.S. if you do decide to watch the movie and just want to see Ewan, his first appearance is at 1:6:30 and last at 1:19:42. You can also watch one of his speaking lines on YouTube posted by the account Ewan McGregor Vault (where the image below is from).
So...I decided to do this challenge and was not expecting any of these characters Honestly tho, this was really fun in the end
It's always the kindest, funniest people that have the most darkness inside of them. Make sure to look "underneath the underneath" when it comes to your loved ones. If only someone had done something for Robin like he'd done for Reeves.
We all hate mr. Perry
You know University has ruined you, when you‘re watching Night at the Museum and in the end when Rebecca asks Sacagawea questions for her thesis, your first thought is „How the hell is she gonna cite that Information?“
‘Good Will Hunting’ wip i swear, one day i’ll learn how to stylize
“Good Will Hunting“ Pt.2
“Good Will Hunting“ finished after almost six months, congrats to me! the lighting and colour is different bc it was first and foremost a light study
Random thought...
If Deadpool was made in the 80′s, Robin Williams would’ve made a great Deadpool!
One of the best movies out there. ❤️
