This article is about a movie Robin Williams starred in called the greatest dad.
It doesn’t make any claims about him personally being a good dad.
I know that.
I find all this crying over Williams to be disgusting due to what he has done to his family, friends, and especially to his children!!
Suicide is just about as selfish and self-indulgent as you can get.
And before anyone starts on depression, I’ve been down that road several times and have myself spent weeks harboring suicidal thoughts - but I could never leave that legacy for my kids!!!
Yes.
This was the last film I saw with Robin Williams and while I enjoyed it thoroughly, it was a VERY dark comedy. Brilliant and witty, but dark.
In it, he plays a lonely high school teacher, failed writer and father to an absolutely loathsome (and loathed) teenage son. His son accidentally hangs himself in auto-erotic asphyxia and Williams' character, humiliated, composes a phony suicide note. This note, naturally, changes everything.
