O Captain, My Captain

[WilliamPitt]

[Wait Wut]

1. Thank you, William.

One of the most memorable scenes in film. So perfect for today.

[mcar]

2. Loved that film

He was excellent in it. What a loss.

[HereSince1628]

23. Me too.

Spent most of my years teaching at Liberal Arts colleges where the conflict between dreams and pragmatism was a regular part of life. It twisted emotions from the trustees through faculty all the way down to prospective students and their parents.

3. I was just thinking about Awakenings and almost forgot how

great he was in this.

[DanTex]

9. Great movie, great role.

I'm sad right now.

[Tripper11]

10. kicking - another brilliant performance

From a brilliant, caring, compassionate, extraordinarily funny man.

I had the pleasure of seeing Robin live in Toronto back in the 80's
Bobby McFerrin opened for him at Massey Hall.

One of the best shows I have ever seen and I've seen my fair share to be sure.

12. This news felt like a massive punch to the gut

It seems that many of the most creative, talented, and brilliant people also, all too often, get more than their fair share of darkness, pain, and agony...

So, so, sooo sad. I don't even know what else to say...he was beloved.

[malaise]

13. How appropriate

Thank you WilliamPitt

[Zorra]

14. Excellent choice. I need to see that again.

For the fifth time.

[DinahMoeHum]

15. Thanks, Will. The news is still a shock to me.

16. He even made watching Aladdin eleventy billion times with my kids worthwhile!

[Iron Man]

17. My favorite of his performances.

[Raffi Ella]

18. I saw this on TV just last night -

I cried watching it and I'm crying now. Can't believe it.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

19. :(

So very sad.

[Starry Messenger]

21. That movie is the reason I didn't drop out of college.

I sobbed in the lobby after it was ended.

God, this fucking sucks.

22. Whitman's poem

[New Orleans Strong]

24. Thank you WilliamPitt

My heart breaks for his family. They will watch him - in their minds - taking his own life the second they wake up for so, so long. I know this. I know this, and feel for the utter despair ahead for them. So sad for them, and for Mr. Williams. RIP.

[senseandsensibility]

25. Can't watch right now.

Can barely type right now. This has saddened me more than any other "celebrity" death, I think. Your clip is appropriate and welcome; it's just me.

[Moostache]

26. I have loved his work since my childhood...today part of me died too...

Today is grim and the soul reels from the loss of a brilliant artist and performer who brought me many, many hours of joy. The jokes will be funny once more; but not today, today the laughter waits as sorrow takes its place and turns the skies to gray.

May history remain blessed with the wit and humor of Robin Williams, I know I will take many of his moments with me for the rest of my own journey on this rock

[MissDeeds]

27. Thank you for this Will

As an educator, lover of literature, and idealistic human being, this film brings me to tears every time. We lost a fine and true soul today. RIP Robin. The world is better for once having you in it.

[LynneSin]

28. Great movie and shot entirely in the state of Delaware too!

29. Kick !!!

30. This video is private?

What's up with that?

[progressoid]

32. was it this perhaps?

[joshcryer]

31. YouTube usually removes infringing videos.

The uploader likely made it private so they wouldn't get flagged. And there are people out there that flag videos just for giggles.

Here's another of the Whitman Speech:

I'm not sure what WillPitt linked, though, I'm sure we can find an alternate. The entire movie has been uploaded to YouTube, it'll get taken down once some jerks flag it.

33. K&R

Thank you, Will. So very sad.

[hifiguy]

34. Loved that movie!
