Robin Williams, 1951-2014
One of the most unforgettable people in the world, Robin Williams, was caught dead the other day. We all know him for being a great comedian. He stunned us with his unparalleled jokes, imagination and creativity but suddenly he had enough and said goodbye to all of us in the most shocking way. Surely, none of us will forget how he lived his life.
The followers of Williams mourn upon learning that he committed suicide and knowing that Robin Williams had a strong personality, none of us thought that he was experiencing a depression. He never talked about it to the public, he was simply saying "I get bummed, like I think a lot of us do at certain times. You look at the world and go, 'Whoa.' Other moments you look and go, 'Oh, things are okay.'"
He could have been much affected by our fast changing world. Some said it's because of alcoholism and drug addiction. I don’t know. I believe he had a warm, soft, and loving heart. He loved too much that he rather suffer just to make his viewers happy. But who am I to say this? I am just one of his fans that truly believe in his magical devotion of love and existence.
By the way, I've listed some of the top movies of Robin Williams that truly made our imagination go crazy.

The classic re-imagining of Peter pan story, Williams played the role of grown up peter that almost forgot about fairies and lived the life of a normal dad. But he must return to Neverland to save his kidnapped children from his former nemesis, the evil Captain Hook.

Thanks to Williams' voiceover work, the Genie in Disney's animated version of Aladdin remains one of the most memorable and beloved characters in the studio ever since it was published.
