Опять же, символично и печально.
Недавние слова Стивена Спилберга пришлись мне по душе.
“Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that sustained him. He was a pal and I can’t believe he’s gone.”
In 2014, costars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Williams passed away within six months of each other.
While the real Patch Adams made a brief cameo in the film, he "hated" the film and the portrayal of himself.
He appears in the scene where the medical school staff returns with the verdict. He sits right behind Robin Williams.
In real life, Patch's close friend who was murdered was a man, not a female love interest. Carin is a fictional character.
Filmed partially at the University of North Carolina. Robin Williams did stand up comedy for some classes that were in session while filming.
During filming, Robin Williams and the rest of the cast and crew worked closely with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to fulfill the fantasies of several children who were at the time undergoing cancer treatment.
The children appeared with Williams in scenes at the pediatric ward.
