this made me cry: Why was Ethan Hawke irritated by Robin Williams on the set of Dead Poet's Society?
>Hi.
>Robin Williams had an impact on everyone he worked with and people only have good things to say about him, but there's one person that actually didn't really enjoy working with him.
In a recent interview with Variety, Ethan Hawke revealed how he felt while shooting the classic movie “Dead Poet's Society”:
>He had a habit of making a ton of jokes on set. At 18, I found that incredibly irritating. He wouldn’t stop and I wouldn’t laugh at anything he did.
>Because of this, he believed that Robin hated him, but now at 50 years of age, he sees it differently:
>There was this scene in the film when he makes me spontaneously make up a poem in front of the class. He made this joke at the end of it, saying that he found me intimidating. I thought it was a joke.
>As I get older, I realize there is something intimidating about young people’s earnestness, their intensity. It is intimidating — to be the person they think you are. Robin was that for me.
Despite his belief that Robin hated him, Robin proved otherwise when he helped him get an agent who then told Ethan:
>Robin Williams says you are going to do really well.
>How right he was.
dunno mate haven't watched the film

>>As I get older, I realize there is something intimidating about young people’s earnestness, their intensity. It is intimidating — to be the person they think you are
I can't dissect this. Is he saying he intimidated Robin Williams so Robin felt he HAD to make jokes? It seems like he was just trying to lighten the mood around some teenaged actor who took himself far too seriously. And still does, I mean look at how boxed he was in Moon Knight.
He's saying as an old man he feels intimidated by youth now and that Robin was probably feeling the same.
But that's a rather selfish implication extrapolated from his own emotions, Robin was almost always entertaining to a younger crowd, while Hawke tried very much to be a serious actor before his time. Now he clings to youth with Botox and hair dye. Intimidation is just a strong word to use universally, seems like Hawke never quite "got" Robin Williams.
He is saying that since Robin was constantly joking around, he thought that when Robin told him he was intimidating, he must have been only joking, but now when he thinks of it later, it might not have been just a joke. The fact that he helped him get an agent afterwards means that Robin was indeed admiring him for his acting skills and did not hate him at all.
He's saying he called out RWill for being a homosexual and it was true, but when you age you get beaten down by the world and lose that demanding edge. Then you get mogged by young people and it hurts. You become "the person [hawke] thought [williams] was.
itz only smellz

>See serious kid
>Make some jokes
>Kid gets annoyed
>Kid doesn't like my jokes
>Tell Kid he's pretty intense
>I just wanted to make him laugh but kid keeps himself locked up
>Kid will probably have a good career if he keeps that intensity
>Get Kid a good agent cause I want to help him
>Kid still talks shit about me
>kms
>Kid repents decades later
maybe i should just break some balls on some small children and then kill myself so they talk about me in a nice way
>And last, the rending pain of re-enactment
>Of all that you have done, and been; the shame
>Of things ill done and done to others' harm
>Which once you took for exercise of virtue.
>Then fools' approval stings, and honour stains.
brutal blackpill
how? that was just poetry wax; nonsense to sound smart. how about I make you a brutal looking black pill, huh?
I find the idea of guilt for past deeds paralyzing. It doesn't get easier with success either. You might not even know what to feel guilty of yet. The very possibility that something long gone from the world could stop your progress in the present day, it's enough to want civilization razed.
look, I've long enough to have done deeds I'm not proud of to admit. but you shouldn't have those thoughts cause turmoil in your head. everyone done something in the past that they regret. move on. let the dead bury the dead, anon. you don't anything gain from this.
>And if you call on Him as Father, who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were redeemed from the futile ways you inherited from your forefathers. Not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was made manifest in the last time for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God, having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart since you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable through the living and abiding Word of God for all flesh is like grass and all of its glory like the flowers of grass, the grass withers and the flower fades, but the Word of the Lord remains forever and this Word is the gospel that was preached to you. (1 Pet. 1:17-25)

“...But if a mirror ever makes
you sad
you should know
that it does
not know
you.”
― Kabir
This movie sucks and is evil too. Robin's character in this movie would be grooming and trooning his students today.
