It seems that every school library has some famous quotes on the walls. Our high school library hangs this sentence: "Understand everything and tolerate everything." The signature is Romain Rowland.

The seventeen-year-old bear disagrees. If someone beat me up for no reason, and later I learned that he was in a bad mood because he was scolded by the teacher, should I forgive him? With that said, murderers still have their own difficulties. Humph~

My friend came to Shanghai a few days ago and talked about a movie, "Good Will Hunting", and asked if I had watched it. I said that when I was in high school, I used to go to a VCD store. The big sister who watched the store strongly recommended this film to me. I rented it to watch, but yawned again and again, and returned it to her in embarrassment the next day.

My friend said, read it again.

The 120-minute movie was finished in one go this time.

By the river, Sean said to Will who had insulted his dead wife, "Stayed up half the night thinkin' about it. Something occurred to me. I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, and I haven't thought about you since . You know what occurred to me?——You're just a kid. You don't have the faintest idea of ​​what you're talkin' about.

Later, Sean repeated to Will over and over again: "It's not your fault." and began Will to answer lightly."





If someone has enough insight into human nature and can look down on the psychology, then all living beings are naturally kids in his eyes. And the child's behavior may be naughty or annoying, but it is not easy to hurt.

The same sneer from a colleague, you used to be furious, but now you know that this is actually the result of the personality shadow left by his childhood parental disagreement and the pressure caused by being crowded out by colleagues at the meeting yesterday.

Then, the tolerance after understanding is tolerant to the other party, and even more tolerant to oneself.

"Understand everything and tolerate everything", this sentence, from rejecting it to understanding it, it took me more than ten years. I hope that in more than ten years, I can do it.

Good Will Hunting quotes

  • Lambeau: You're angry at me for doing what you could have done; but ask yourself, Sean. Ask yourself if you want Will to feel that way, if you want him to feel like a failure.

    Sean: Oh, you arrogant shit! That's why I don't come to the goddamned reunions, 'cause I can't stand that look in your eye. Ya know, that condescending, embarrassed look. You think I'm a failure. I know who I am, and I'm proud of what I do. I was a conscientious choice, I didn't fuck up! And you and your cronies think I'm some sort of pity case. You and your kiss-ass chorus following you around going, "The Fields Medal! The Fields Medal!" Why are you still so fuckin' afraid of failure?

  • Chuckie: [in a bar] I didn't get on Cathy last night.

    Will: No?

    Chuckie: Nah.

    Will: Why not?

    Chuckie: I don't know.

    [yells across room]

    Chuckie: Cathy!

    Cathy: What?

    Chuckie: Why didn't you give me none of that nasty little hoochie-woochie you usually throw at me?

    Cathy: Oh, fuck you and your Irish curse, Chuckie. Like I'd waste my energy spreading my legs for that Tootsie Roll dick? So go home and give it a tug yourself.
