Good Will Hunting and "I'm Desperate for the World!"

The first thing to say is that this movie ends or truncates or loops in a very idealistic way, so I classify it as a positive inspirational movie.. 囧TZ.. "Aspiration" is not a rational category. , so I have no intention of discussing the feasibility of authenticity, but want to analyze another very interesting and common value.

Let's take a look at the main characters of the two orangutans in the film.
Will hunting: I was abused by my father when I was a child, resulting in "abandonment phobia", refusing to communicate with anyone, and finding a weird girlfriend who stinks, but dare not plan the future with her.
Professor of Psychology: I never forget my beloved wife who died of illness, thinking that the "angel that God specially sent down for him" has left, and there is no one else who can be called his wife.

The first impression of the two is very different, will be timid, professor affectionate. But the underlying logic is actually the same:

will: 1. Dad abuses himself --> Can't trust Dad --> Can't trust anyone else
2. All human beings can't be trusted like Dad -->

Professor: 1. Wife died of illness I can't stay with my wife
all the time --> I can't love

anyone else . If the reasoning is the same, why are the effects so different? Because the two people have different objects of affection, one is the father and the other is the wife.
Why is the effect different for different objects (the following is a personal guess), because the difficulty and expectation are different~!
The influence of a father on a child is too great to measure. Being abused by a father is a psychological shadow for everyone. And the audience can't be brought into the role of the father, as long as you are not too bt, the shadow of the child will not cause you to be very happy. So the whole incident was evaluated objectively, even if the father is not good, despair is not right.
For a man, how much he loves his wife can be measured. When a wife dies, she is buried with her whole heart, not everyone can do it. And when the audience is brought into the role of the wife: wow ~ dead and remembered, immediately burst into tears. So it doesn't matter whether despair is right or not, the key becomes: the reason for despair is to love one's wife, what an excellent quality to love one's wife! !

Conclusion:
attach too much importance to a person and fail to do what he/she wants, so don't expect the whole world, all these are to be probation and training. But whether this mentality itself is ws or great depends mainly on the difficulty of "too much attention" and the expectations of the audience.

Inference 1: What the audience expects is not an Electra child, but an affectionate husband.
Inference 2: The audience believes that children are prone to love their fathers, but they do not believe that husbands are often affectionate.
Corollary 3: In some cases, giving up on oneself can be pleasing. So there are always people who report to everyone how they have given up on themselves.

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.
