This is my favorite movie and I believe one of the most outstanding performances from Robin. You will always be the bicentennial man. You taught us so many things...
Thank you
Portia: ?See you soon.
Concur.
This is my favorite of Robin's.
Mine too! I agree with you.
shareIt's definitely at the top of my list as well. It's good to see that other people enjoy it as much as I do. I think it's one of the most underrated films ever.
shareIn my mind, Robin is not dead because he left so much of his humor, generosity and kindness behind. It will never seem like he is gone completely.
Like Billy Crystal i still cant talk about him in the past tense and not feel weird.
In Robin's 'Weapons of Self Destruction' Comedy Tour Special, Robin made a joke where he was talking about his GPS System telling him to turn right here when he was driving on the Golden Gate Bridge. As himself Robin said 'I'm not that depressed!' Then he said in the GPS's voice, 'Really Robin? I saw Bicentennial Man'
To this day i always wonder if he was staying he regretted doing this movie or if he was making a joke that the GPS was trying to kill him for playing Andrew. Or he could have been saying the reviews of the movie are depressing.

I also concur. Hard to believe he ended it even with this film alone under his belt.
sharelegendlength Robin must have hit the absolute bottom of depression which is very,very sad.He made us all laugh but couldn't include himself.RIP Robin.
shareMy little algebra of humanity...
shareYou wonder how much the gist of this movie contributed to his decision to off himself. As you notice, the robot he played in this movie decided to do the same thing.
As we get to the end of life's journey, as my mom said, "You don't know anybody anymore and you feel invisible." So why not leave?
Especially since everything is breaking down.

It's ridiculous to suggest Robin killed himself because of Bicentennial Man, Robin's joke on his Weapons tour is referring to how depressing the movie itself is.
Robin killed himself because he was beginning to suffer from dementia and was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. So in other words, both his body and his mind were going to wear out. The two things he had always relied on for his art--his acting and his comedy. I personally think that because he knew his time to perform was ending, and performing was his primary reason for living, that it was just time for him to go. Not to mention I believe, being that he was a brilliant creative eccentric, he was already suffering from the loneliness and depression that almost always accompany that personality type.
It's a complex series of reasons that's not easily explained. That's really the best I can do on limited time.
