Humor is often the mask of Anger......situation and romantic comedies have never been appealing to me....Nevertheless, I watched two of Robin Williams' last films recently.... The Angriest Man In Brooklyn and Boulevard.....both films were depressingly sad....Perhaps they reveal the Person behind the Persona....the tragic face behind the mask of comedy......I thought of Lenny Bruce, Phil Hartman, Feddie Prinze, and dozens of others, who only 'seemed' happy when there was an audience, laughing and applauding them.....There's that 'instant rictus' facile smile...quick to surface and quick to fade when the cameras exit....replaced by Hamlet's 'worry face' covering their anger, covering their hopelessness ........
