Actor-director Richard Attenborough dies at 90
RIP Sir Richard Attenborough. Your movie on Mahatma Gandhi made me understand why Cory Aquino had to use civil disobedience during the Marcos dictatorship. As a 12-year old, at that time, political concepts like that were easier learned through a movie than through a boring school lecture!
And way before Chronicles of Narnia, I was also introduced to writer C.S. Lewis because of your movie Shadowlands. I only realized after, that Anthony Hopkins character there was a real person! Wala kasing Google nuon noh. If you had to verify something, you had to go to the library!!
And I'm sure kids nowadays would be surprised that Iron Man to them, Robert Downey Jr. is actually a very gifted actor who got a well-deserved Oscar nomination in the early 90's, as the great comic Charlie Chaplin, - thanks to your faith in him to be able to give justice to the role, kasi nga di naman known as a comic si Downey.
