Spiritual worker

The film tells the story of Will, a young man who was traumatized and extremely smart, working as a cleaner at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The protagonist of the film, Will, has never been to college, but has an obsession with mathematics. He reads books and studies carefully after work. However, due to his humble background and financial poverty, he could only work as a cleaner at MIT. One thing that made a famous mathematics professor Lan Bo notice him and changed his destiny: Professor Lan Bo wrote a question on the blackboard that he found very difficult, hoping that his outstanding students could solve it. The answer, but no one can figure it out. When Will was cleaning after class, he found this math problem and easily solved the problem. After mathematics professor Lan Bo couldn't find a real problem solver, he posed another more difficult problem, and finally found out this mathematics genius—maybe the young man of Einstein in the next century.
However, Will was abandoned by his biological parents since he was young, and later abused and beaten by his adoptive father. He lacks the most basic love and control of the family, no longer trusts anyone, and has an extremely low self-esteem in his heart. On the outside, he was just the opposite. He was unruly, even fighting and making troubles everywhere, and was sentenced to the juvenile nursing home by the juvenile court. Finally, the mathematics professor Lan Bo was released on bail and interceded with the judge to save him from prison. Although the professor hoped that Will could regain his goals in life, and tried his best to open his heart, many psychologists who were invited by the professor to do psychological counseling for Will were all regarded by this hairy boy with amazing IQ. He was humiliated by Will after he understood his psychology, and they declared that Will was "undeservable".
Reluctantly, Lan Bo went to his college classmate Sean, hoping to "educate" Will through their efforts. Professors often discuss mathematical problems with Will. This invisibly gives Will a great affirmation that Will is not humble, he is a mathematics genius. Sean's weekly treatment slowly opened Will's heart. This is not so much a treatment, as it is a communication and conversation of the soul again and again. If trust is not established between two people, their world will not be open to you. Just like Will and the previous psychologists, Will only resisted them. What kind of psychologist is successful? The film gave a good interpretation. It's not just talk about it, and guess the psychology of the other party according to the content of the textbook, but have a normal heart. An equal mind. They are not your patients. They need more than treatment, but to talk to each other sincerely. Don't try to guess the other's mental blueprint, because it's just your own thoughts. When a psychiatrist speaks out the “teaching capital” that is so familiar in his heart based on the superficial situation, then you have become a “bystander”.
As a friend, isn't trust important? Sean regards Will as a friend, and has moderately contacted Will again and again. He believes that Will will eventually defeat himself.
"So, if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on Every art book ever written. Michelangelo. You know a lot about him: life's work, political aspirations, him and the Pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right? But I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling…seen that……"
I remember Sean’s heart-wrenching words to Will at the time, from Michelangelo to a woman, from war to real analysis of Will. Only when he truly regards the other person as a close friend can he interpret the other's heart and reach out to each other. Everyone has a fragility in their hearts, even Sean, who is a master, is no exception. In Will's aggressive questioning, he found the pain in his heart, and finally he was relieved of his heart disease for many years. With the help of Sean, Will eventually defeated his inferiority complex and regained his motivation.
Will is not bad in nature, he is smart and kind, but he hasn't found a way to communicate with him.
As a psychologist, how to establish a good consultation relationship with visitors and superb professional skills are particularly important.

    Because Robin Williams scored five stars, there were too many gentle, intelligent and broad hearts in the corner of his eyes.

    There are mixed flavors. On the one hand, Will receives so much help because he is a genius. On the other hand, to change a person, you need to meet so many good people at the same time.

  • Lambeau: [in Gerald's office] What happened at the MacNeil meeting?

    Will: Oh, I couldn't go. I had a date, so I sent my chief negotiator.

    Lambeau: On your own time you can do whatever you'd like Will, but when I set up a meeting with my associates and you don't show up, it reflects poorly on me.

    Will: Well then don't set up any more meetings.

    Lambeau: Well, I won't. I'll cancel them. I'd give you a job myself, I just wanted you to see what was out there.

    Will: Look, maybe I don't want to spend the rest of my fucking life sitting around and explaining shit to people.

    Lambeau: I think you could show me some appreciation.

    Will: A little appreciation?

    [Will picks up the math sheet]

    Will: Do you know how easy this is for me? Do you have any fucking idea how easy this is? This is a fucking joke! And I'm sorry you can't do this, I really am because I wouldn't have to fucking sit here and watch you fumble around and fuck it up.

    Lambeau: Then you'd have more time to sit around and get drunk instead, wouldn't you?

    Will: You're right, this is probably a total waste of my time

    [Will lights the math sheet on fire]

    Lambeau: [Runs and grabs the math sheet to blow out the fire] You're right Will. I can't do this proof. But you can, and when it comes to that it's only about... it's just a handful of people in the world who can tell the difference between you and me. But I'm one of them.

    Will: Sorry.

    Lambeau: Yeah, so am I. Most days I wish I never met you. Because then I could sleep at night, and I wouldn't... and I wouldn't have to walk around with the knowledge that there's someone like you out there.

    [Will leaves the room]

    Lambeau: I didn't have to watch you throw it all away.
