Movie Star
电影明星
Robin's fame on the small screen inevitably aroused the interest of movie makers. His first starring role came in 1980's Popeye. The movie was a financial and critical flop and it looked like Williams' film career was over before he'd even gotten out of the gate. But then, in 1982's The World According to Garp, he was able to show more of his dramatic acting talents. The film was well received, with critic Roger Ebert calling Robin's performance 'unconventional and absorbing.' Following a couple of smaller roles he got his big screen break in 1987's Good Morning Vietnam. The role of Adrian Cronauer, a real life Armed Forces DJ stationed in Saigon during the war, was tailor made for Williams' manic style. In fact, nearly everything that he did on screen was improvised. The performance was good enough to earn him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Over the next decade, Williams appeared in an impressive number of films, displaying a huge range and appeal across the generations. He shone as both a dramatic and a comic actor, with his first and only Oscar coming for Best Supporting Actor playing a psychologist in 1997's Good Will Hunting. He had previously received two nominations, for 1988's Dead Poet's Society and 1991's The Fisher King. Perhaps Williams' most versatile role was one in which he was never actually on screen.
罗宾在小荧幕上的名气吸引了电影制片人的兴趣，这是不可避免的。他第一部担任主演的片子是1980年的《大力水手》。该片在票房和评价上都是个败笔，威廉姆斯的电影生涯似乎还没开始就已结束。但在1982年的《盖普眼中的世界》中，他展示了许多令人印象深刻的表演技巧。该片受到了好评，影评人罗杰·埃伯特称罗宾的表演是“不同寻常而十分有趣的”。此后他出演了几个小角色。1987年，他凭借《早安越南》一片取得了大荧幕上的突破。阿德里安·克劳纳尔这一角色在现实生活中的原型是战时驻扎西贡（今胡志明市）武装部队的电台节目主持人，该角色正是为威廉姆斯的狂躁风格量身定制的。实际上，他在屏幕上所呈现的一切几乎都是即兴的。他的表演好到足以获得奥斯卡最佳男演员的提名。在接下来的10年中，威廉姆斯出演了许多部电影，获得了不同年龄段人群的喜爱。他在戏剧和喜剧界都获得了巨大的成功。凭借1997年在《心灵捕手》出演心理学家一角，他获得了人生中第一个也是唯一一个奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。此前他曾凭借1988年的《死亡诗社》和1991年的《渔王》获得过两次提名。威廉姆斯最多才多艺的角色并未被搬上荧幕。
His role as the genie in the 1992 Disney animated musical Aladdin showcased his amazing vocal range. The role had been specifically written for him, although he improvised much of the dialogue, just as he had done in Good Morning Vietnam. Williams played what would prove to be his most beloved character in 1993's Mrs Doubtfire, in which he portrayed a recently divorced actor who takes on the persona of an elderly Scottish housemaid to get closer to his children. He spent four hours every day putting on his makeup to play the part. The movie was a great success and a sequel was in the works at the time of Williams' death in 2014. His darkest role came in 2002's One Hour Photo. Williams played a lonely photo technician who becomes obsessed with a family whose photos he has developed for years. He received rave reviews from such esteemed critics as Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert. Robin's last appearance on the big screen was in 2014's Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, in which he reprised his role as President Theodore Roosevelt. In the 2015 animated film Absolutely Anything he provided the voice of Dennis the Dog. It closed out a 38 year career that encompassed 74 movies.
1992年，他在迪士尼动画音乐剧《阿拉丁》中为精灵一角配音，展示了他的强大音域。正如他在《早安越南》中的表现一样，他在该片中的对话大多都是即兴编的，但该角色其实是专门为他创作的。在1993年的《窈窕奶爸》中，威廉姆斯出演了他最受观众喜爱的角色，他扮演的是一个刚刚离婚的演员，为了接近他的孩子，他装扮成一个苏格兰老女仆。为了这个角色，他每天需要花4个小时来化妆。该片收获了巨大的成功，2014年威廉姆斯去世时，该片的续集也正在酝酿之中。在2002年的《一小时快相》中，他出演了职业生涯中最阴暗的角色。威廉姆斯饰演了一个孤独的照相技术员，他看上了多年来经常来他这儿冲洗照片的一家人。他获得了莱纳德·马尔丁和罗杰·埃伯特等知名影评人的一致好评。罗宾最后登上大荧幕的电影是2014年的《博物馆奇妙夜3》，他依然饰演西奥多·罗斯福总统。在2015年的动画片《魔法老师》中，他为小狗丹尼斯配音。威廉姆斯38年的职业生涯到此结束。在其期间，他参演了74部电影。
Philanthropist
慈善家
In 1996, together with fellow celebrities Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal, Robin founded Comic Relief, USA. The charity helped the homeless, with $80 million being raised as of last year. Together with his second wife, he also created the Windfall Foundation to help donate money to a variety of causes, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. On May 27th, 1995 Robin's close friend Christopher Reeve was thrown from a horse and paralysed. Robin dropped everything and rushed to his bedside. He turned up in full costume as a crazed Russian doctor, giving Reeve the first laugh since his tragic accident. Robin would go on to to donate huge sums to research into spinal cord injury. When Reeves died in 2004, Robin was devastated. Williams was also passionate about supporting the military. He traveled and performed at so many bases around the globe that he was known as the modern day Bob Hope. During his career, he entertained over a hundred thousand troops in thirteen countries.
1996年，罗宾与乌比·戈德堡、比利·克里斯托一起创立了美国的“喜剧救济基金会”。这一慈善团体为无家可归者提供帮助，去年筹集了8000万美元。他与第二任妻子一起创立了“意外之财基金会”，为圣裘德儿童研究医院等各种组织捐款。1995年5月27日，罗宾的密友克里斯托弗·里夫从马上摔下来后瘫痪了。罗宾放下一切赶去病榻前照顾他。换上疯狂俄罗斯医生整套衣服的罗宾把里夫逗笑了，这是他出事之后第一次笑。罗宾为脊髓损伤研究捐了许多钱。2004年里夫去世时，罗宾非常伤心。威廉姆斯还非常热衷于为军队提供支持。他到全球各地的许多基地进行过表演，还被称为当代的鲍勃·霍普。在威廉姆斯的职业生涯中，他到过13个国家的100多个部队举办过演出。
Addict
瘾君子
Williams managed to quit alcohol and cocaine in the early 1980s. However, in 2003 he lapsed back into alcohol abuse while working on the movie The Big White on location in Alaska. For the next three years he denied that he had a problem. Finally, he was confronted by family and friends, who convinced him to check himself into a substance-abuse rehabilitation center in Newberg, Oregon. There he admitted that he was an alcoholic. After sixty days in rehab, rather than returning to his family, Robin began living with a sober companion, who was charged with ensuring that he didn't relapse. Shortly after that his second wife, Marcia left him. A depressed Robin did what he always did when life got too tough - he threw himself into his work, going on tour to do stand up. But in the middle of the tour it was discovered that he needed heart surgery. The operation went well, but it required quiet rest time to recuperate. This forced time of inactivity allowed the demons in his head to have free reign. William's addictive personality led to marathon cycling and video gaming sessions. Cycling was a healthy obsession for him, but, for a man who had struggled with depression his whole life, being alone in a room with a computer was very dangerous. He soon began drinking again. This time he didn't care who knew. In May of 2014, Williams' new TV show, The Crazy Ones, was cancelled after just one season.
80年代初，威廉姆斯试图戒掉酒精和可卡因。然而，2003年他在阿拉斯加拍摄《毁尸灭迹》的时候又开始酗酒了。在接下来的3年里，他一直否认自己有问题。最终，他还是面对了他的家人和朋友，他们说服他到俄勒冈州纽伯格的一个药物滥用康复中心接受治疗。在那里，他承认自己酗酒了。罗宾在康复中心待了60天，之后他并没有回家，而是和一名负责确保他不会复发的康戒陪护住在一起。不久之后，他与第二任妻子玛西亚离婚了。罗宾在生活艰难时经常一头扎进工作中，还要进行脱口秀巡回演出。这次，沮丧的他做了同样的事情。但在巡演中间，他发现自己需要做心脏手术。手术进行得很顺利，但需要静养一段时间。他在这段时间里被迫不能活动，这令他大脑中的恶魔得以释放。为了克服毒瘾和酒瘾，威廉姆斯开始骑自行车、打电子游戏。对他而言，骑车是一项可以沉迷其中的健康活动，但对于一个一生都在与抑郁症作斗争的人来说，房间里只有电脑与其为伴是一件很危险的事情。他不久之后就开始饮酒，这一回他不介意谁知道这件事了。2014年5月，威廉姆斯的新电视节目《疯狂的人们》在播出一季之后就取消了。
In July, he was back in rehab. Around that time he also learned that he had Parkinson's Disease. After his death it was discovered what had been diagnosed as Parkinson's was actually Lewy body dementia. After his death, Robin's wife Susan revealed that Robin had been been having severe and prolonged episodes of fear and anxiety, insomnia, constipation, stress and hand tremors for over a year. She said that he would constantly tell her, 'I just want to reboot my brain.' On August 11th, 2014, Robin Williams committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt. He died from asphyxiation. His wife, Susan, stated that he was killed by the 'terrorist inside my husband's brain.' Within hours of the tragic news of his passing, thousands of fans were posting images of themselves standing on their desks with the caption, 'O' Captain, my captain,' in reference to Robin's character in 'Dead Poet's Society.' It was a fitting tribute and a beautiful standoff to this brilliant man.
7月，他回到了康复中心，那个时候他还发现自己患有帕金森病。在他去世后人们才发现，当初诊断的帕金森病实则是路易体痴呆。罗宾去世后，他的妻子苏珊表示，罗宾一直患有严重的恐惧、焦虑、失眠、便秘、手抖，而且还承受了巨大的压力，这些病症持续了超过一年。她还说，他不断告诉她“我只是想重启我的大脑”。2014年8月11日，罗宾·威廉姆斯用皮带上吊自尽，死因是窒息。罗宾的妻子苏珊表示，她的丈夫是被“大脑里的恐怖分子”所杀害。在罗宾去世的消息发布几小时后，成千上万的粉丝发布了他们站在桌子上的照片，说明文字是这样写的：“啊，船长！我的船长！”，以此来呼应罗宾在《死亡诗社》中的角色。这是对一个杰出人才的纪念。
