My wish was for Robin to live a long, happy, and fruitful life. My wish never came true, although he did give us the means to live a happier life, thanks to his comedy, his charity, and his grace. This documentary sheds light on the truth behind Robin's death, and the illness that caused him to take his life. My wish is that others will see it, seek help if they are suffering, and support those who need a friend. Suicide has been a factor in my life, and my friend died because he too had neurological issues that were only discovered after he died. By noticing the signs of brain diseases, we can do much to prevent the loss of another life.

That was difficult to watch at times and heartwarming. It's a shame he went through all that and was fighting it alone.. We have deeply lost an angel, a loving and caring guy with a beautiful sense of humor and acting skills that will live forever through his movies, family, friends and the rest of the world that loved him. I can't believe it's been 6 years already, the time has flew.. If I was asked the question if you could meet any famous person, my answer would of been him by far.

[Filmin] It could be said that it offers what "Come inside my mind" (2018) did not tell, the description of some terrifying last months in which a privileged mind suffers the scourge of degeneration. And it offers a reflection on the impotence of not understanding what is happening, of dying without having a clear diagnosis. He is less complete than that in the actor's profile, but more emotional in the lack of understanding of mental illness. "Nobody blames you when you have cancer."

In a sense, it was a very disturbing experience to watch, but at the same time brought a sense of peace. There are many diseases, which are so intimidating because they strike like light bolts. Now, having a better understanding of what was lurking behind him way before his death makes me wonder, how many conditions are pout there medical professionals are still not able to diagnose in time. However, it is too late for Robin, but his death should not be in vain, so that should be a springboard for more in-depth scientific research. All in all, this is a must-see piece.
