You and my shadow and questions

I just watched the film ten years ago today. In addition to the story itself, I am most impressed by two things:
one is the second meeting between the genius boy and the psychology professor, who took him to the lake. The paragraph mentioned later. It probably means something like this: "You criticize my paintings, I see only the courage of a child. You've never been out of Boston, you've read all of Michelangelo's works but you don't know the smell of the Sistine Chapel, never Standing there looking at the beautiful ceiling, I've been. You'll say personal preference fallacies about women, and you've probably been in bed a few times, but you can't tell what it's like to wake up happy next to a woman. Ask War, you'll say Shakespeare's words: go to war, dear friend," but you've never been close to war, you've never held your friend's head on your lap and watched him let out his last breath. Ask about love and you'll quote a sonnet, but you've never seen the frailty of a woman who can knock you down with her eyes. . . You don't understand true loss, you can only experience it when you love others more than yourself. I doubt you dare to love someone like that. "Now everyone doubts the sincerity of love, distrusts marriage, and is full of fear. First of all, we must ask ourselves whether we love ourselves more than each other, and what exactly is our love for each other. The

other is that the two broke the silence later, the professor said. The joke: The professor's wife farts, even when she sleeps. The professor said that I know all her little qualities, she knows all my little flaws, people call it imperfect, but it's not, that's good Things, can choose who enters our world. You are not perfect, the girls you know are not perfect, the question is whether you are a perfect fit for each other. These truths are easy to understand, but they always confuse us.

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.
