: The actor brought his signature improvisational style to the role, often making the crew laugh between takes.
"Flubber" es una película de comedia de ciencia ficción estadounidense de 1997, dirigida por Charles Shyer. La película sigue la historia de Philip Brainard (interpretado por Robin Williams), un profesor de ciencias que, después de un accidente aéreo, se convierte en una sustancia gelatinosa conocida como "flubber". Esta sustancia tiene propiedades increíbles, como la capacidad de volar y una elasticidad extrema.
Furthermore, the film succeeds in creating a memorable antagonist in Wilson Croft, a rival professor and thief who represents the corruption of academia. While Brainard is the "chiflado" who creates for the sake of discovery, Croft is the opportunist who steals for profit. This contrast elevates the film beyond simple farce, framing the struggle for Flubber as a battle between pure, albeit disorganized, intent and malicious greed. The climax of the film, involving a high-tech rescue mission, allows Brainard to utilize his invention not just for financial gain for his college, but to protect the people he cares about, marking his transition from a solitary inventor to a protector.
