You don't even know what you are talking about...

A friend who studied psychology recommended me to watch this movie a few months ago, and today I "fulfilled" my task. The story goes like this:

a mathematics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology wrote a question that he finds very difficult on the bulletin board of his department, hoping that his outstanding students can solve the answer, but no one can. As a result, a young cleaner, Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon), found this math problem when cleaning after class and easily solved it. Will is a true genius in the classical sense. His mathematical talent is enough to change the world. Unfortunately, like many unsculpted geniuses, he has a lot of problems, fights, troubles, rebelliousness, and even went to jail for help. Will returns to the right path and no longer wastes his extraordinary talent. After the unremitting efforts of the professor and his psychologist friend sean (Robin Williams), Will finally overcomes the shadow of childhood and breaks through the psychological barriers that have affected him for many years. .......

This film has won multiple Oscar nominations in 1998, and finally won Best Supporting Actor (Robin Williams) and Best Screenplay. It is worth mentioning that the screenwriter of this film happens to be this one. The two starring actors in the movie are Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. I really didn't expect the two great Hollywood guys to have such extraordinary talents. In contrast to Chinese movies, one Xu Jinglei can be called a talented girl in the film industry, and two directors without the minimum logical ability can even sweep the top box office of domestic movies. I can only say that the backwardness of Chinese films is comprehensive, and the cultural gap has once again shown its characteristics that it will be more difficult to close than the economic gap.

Back to this movie. It may be related to mathematics geniuses. When I was watching a movie just now, I occasionally flashed to another Oscar-winning movie-"Beautiful Mind". As far as genius is concerned, John Nash may be slightly inferior to Will Hunting, but in terms of the severity of the psychological temperature, Will Hunting's problem appears to be a little lighter. This comparison seems a bit unfair, because John Nash is real, and Will Hunting only exists on the screen, but the spiritual world of genius has always been a mystery that can never be solved. The word genius has been repeatedly associated with abnormal words such as death, fragility, madness, perversion, loneliness, and gloom. How to treat genius? This is probably one of the most worthy research topics in our mundane world.

Compared with that thin diploma, I am more willing to regard the break-up dinner tonight as a sign of the end of my student life. I clearly know that after leaving school, my university experience may become an unbearable weight in my life. Many people will use a general university student standard to measure me. However, for me or every university student, university is just a part of the past two decades of life. These four years will not shape or annihilate a person more than the previous ten years of experience. . These four years are just a period of experience, and the effectiveness of experience can only be measured by the depth of experience. For many people, the experience of most of their lives may not be the same as a word, a story, or a look or a kiss.

In the 120 minutes of this movie, there was a line that radiated the most dazzling light. It was a passage that Sean said to Will:

"You are just a child, and you don't know what you are talking about. So when you ask about art, you may come up with the rough theories in art books. You know a lot about Michelangelo. His political enthusiasm and his fellowship with the Pope Mo Ni, indulge in sex, do you know him well? But you don't even know the smell of the Sistine Chapel? Haven't you tried standing there and looking up at the famous painting on the ceiling? Surely you haven't seen it? If I asked about women. You can tell me as much as you can. You may have been in bed several times, but you can’t tell the true joy of waking up beside a woman. You are young and sturdy, if I Talking about war with you, you will throw Shakespeare at me, recite "Go to the battle together, dear friend", but you have never been in battle, you have never tried to hold your close friend’s head in your arms and watch him suck the last one. Tone, stare at you, and ask for help. I ask you what is love. You may only sing the wind and make the moon, but you have not tried to be fully committed and sincerely fall in love. When you look at each other, you understand each other’s heart, just like God Arrange for an angel to go down to the world and only dedicated to you, to save you from the abyss of hell, you have never tried to feel her all kinds of care, you have never tried to stay together for her affectionate money, knowing she is terminally ill Don't hesitate, you have never tried to feel the feeling of losing your beloved..."

I think this passage will not only make Will feel scared, but also make every young and frivolous youth feel scared, right? At least for me, this passage is too sharp, as if my entire past has been penetrated, and I have never lamented the shallowness of my life like now. We have all laughed at the lady who wears all the jewelry on her body, but now I find that I have become a child holding all the toys in my hands. I am obsessed with information, but lost myself... ..

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.
