Watching random Robbin Williams movies

>this kid is meant to be 9 years old
I never once in my life expected to hear Robbin Williams utter the words "Neon Genesis Evangelion"
I honestly don't think the director knew what this show was, the kid describes this thing as "a good guy who fights bad guys with a sword".

Maybe Robin Williams was a fan of Evangelion? I know he's watched some anime.

Robin apparently influenced putting that in the film. He's a geekĀ®.

Did the fucking toys even come out in America?

I can't take this film seriously, this kid is a fucking /m/an.

What movie is this?
I refuse to believe Robin Williams was in a film that referenced both Gundam and Eva.

One Hour Photo.
It's not a comedy, it's a thriller.
The anime references sort of kill the mood, though.

what do you mean, develops photographs?

he named his kid after a video game. he was probably into all kinds of wacky shit.

That explains the suicide.

...

No, he's not a /m/an. Not yet anyway.

One Hour Photo one his best films

Sanctuary isn't a meme like Eva is

That toy was part of his own collection.

...

Yeah, Robin Williams was apparently a big animu and Eva fan, so the bit where he says he's talking about the mass-produced evas being good guys is just a gay little wink to all the weebs in the audience.

I have no idea why they do, but they do.
Robin Williams knowing about evangelion and Gundam kinda hurts my brain. Is it super secret club mentality Holla Forums?

it's actually about Adolf Halme, an early 20th century Finnish tailor and socialist leader

He killed himself because he had the worst classification of dementia, though it was not diagnosed correctly when he was alive.
He could probably feel himself degenerating, what with his hallucinations, inability to focus, memory slipping away, his fucked up movements, and the depression.
I'd kill myself too, and so would you if you had any sense. Quit trying to be edgy, faggot. You'd probably kill yourself too if you had any indication of what's happening. Which, if you aren't a total retard, you should be able to recognize that something is very, very wrong.

After all, fuck, you still have the choice at that point. I'd rather end it while I'm still a fucking human being than end up some empty shell.

Well, he's not wrong, per say.

From what I hear, Williams was a weeb for Evangelion. So I don't think this was just someone not getting what it was about. Since One Hour Photo was a thriller and Evangelion has a lot of weird psycho-sexual shit going on and deals with abandonment and loneliness, this seems like clumsy foreshadowing.

If anything it shows he's a even bigger weeb since Seele controls the world and therefore the media that they would portray the Nerv pilots as bad guys.
