Was he really that good?
Apart from "Dead Poets" and "Good Will Hunting" 95% of his output targeted the the 6-12 y.o. population of movie goers. I mean he mainly worked for Disney (yuck!) or Spielberg (who's even worse).
Doubtfire is okay but if you consider this one to be a classic you're 8 or you have a problem.
And his latest string of film was very bad to say the least :
[www.theguardian.com]
.
So shall we really call him a genius and a major loss?

Yes we shall. You can feel free to tell us how wrong we are. I personally don't care what you say. I'm 45 years old and have my own opinions and views regardless of yours. I enjoyed his serious stuff as well as his silly stuff. If I want to laugh my butt off watching Aladin with my 7 year old nephew I will. And with or without your permission I'll continue to do so. Roll your eyes all you want.
Peace,
MR DJA

Agree 100%, MR DJA. And regardless, it shows amazingly poor taste to start bashing someone who has just died.

DCBA only puts in a valid question, and has some reasonable arguments for it. No bashing there, imo.
The reaction to it from mr_dja is 100% emotional, because he takes it to a personal level: "Yes he should be considered a genius without a doubt because I LIKE HIM and I'm old enough to stand up for my beliefs." Phew...
And as for the (general) definition of "amazingly poor taste" goes: that's as unstable & volatile as the definition of a genius. Never EVER been impressed by the arm-length of that argument, btw... (I know it does wonders in totalitarian circles, though!)
It just goes to show once more that some people are better of next to the high horse than on it.

Come on, let's wait till the corpse has cooled down before you start criticizing his works. Use common sense. Don't be stupid. Show some respect for the dead.

JockinJive: You're right I used the wrong expression. It doesn't translate well into the word of English (English is not my first language). I apologize for that. It wasn't my intention to be crude in any way.
