Acting range is something that is extremely difficult to achieve for a performer: the skill to navigate many different types of roles and characters. Our double feature topic dives into this skill as it is portrayed through Robin Williams. Williams was a chameleon as an actor always navigating between comedy and drama in a wide variety of characters that defined his career. The two films that highlight this ability of his are Dead Poets Society and Aladdin, the focus of this double feature.
