I knew that description sounded familiar. Yep, definitely it. OP should have done a googe fu first

This sounds like a mix of:
-
What Dreams May come
-
Dead Poets Society
-
The Fisher King
With maybe a little bit of Ishtar thrown in.

All these and jumunji too.

Missing Robin Williams Movie
So I watched a funny documentary about Shakespeare the other day, and was reminded of a popular Shakespearian movie that I had seen a part of several years ago. A particular quote in the movie had led me to try searching it up years ago, long before I had ever heard of the Mandela Effect. I’ve been searching for it again over the past couple days, and I’m still coming up completely empty. I am truly wondering if this movie went the way of Kazaam.
Here’s what I remember:
The movie was based off of a Shakespeare play, After looking it up, it may have been ‘The Tempest’; or ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, but I don’t really know. So many of the plots have similar elements.
Some or all of the characters were stranded, possibly from a shipwreck
One of the characters, a stranded blonde woman, was also the narrator. At one point she says, while narrating: “Sometimes years change nothing, and sometimes one day can change everything.”
I believe the blonde woman’s father was also a character in the story and that a wedding was a part of the story
Robin Williams played a stranded character. He was dressed in fine Renaissance era clothing. He may have been a merchant and may have been a Spaniard
RW’s character was on a desperate hike across desert or beach sand with a companion. There is some problem with RW’s boots, and somebody says something to the effect of ‘It is better to have no boots than ill fitting boots’. I seem to remember him taking black leather boots from a dead man and continuing his hike when this comment is made
The story shifts often between characters and storylines
The movie was made in the mid to late ‘90s
So that’s just about all that I remember. I have tried to differentiate between the details I am hazy on and the details that I remember very clearly. I can’t be the only person that has seen this movie, yet I can find absolutely no reference online.

I remember A Midsummer's Night Dream. He was Puck.

Mid summer's night dream. That's a story about a faery queen and her king. The queen is taking care of a human child and the king becomes jealous. It also I'd the story of four young adults with love triangle. It's one of my favorite Shakespeare plays

I remember watching this movie a long time ago. Found it pretty quickly when searching for it just now. Being Human 1994. It's a story of the same souls being reincarnated and living many lives starring Robin Williams.

Perhaps Jacob the Liar 99. I’ve always wanted to see that.

I messaged two days ago but never had a reply

Sorry about that, we don’t always get a chance to review modmail right away but two days is too long.

No worries. Ended up not being an ME anyways. I just have crappy google skills I guess 😑

I only saw it once, years ago but my brain is saying "Being Human..." I could be way off though. It's literally a movie I half watched 20 years ago...

This is correct.

You should try r/TOTM before here.

Wait. Why are we not naming Robin Williams?
I don’t know if that’s the case or not. I’ve tried so many ways to post this and the only ways that works is if Robin Williams isn’t mentioned in the title or body.
Oh. Okay. I thought I missed some weirdness and instead I’ve stumbled into a whole new weirdness.
"Robin Williams plays a stranded character"
Apart from there.
You mean Tom Hanks? In Castaway?
Right, but I had to post all of that in the comments.
