1997 / USA / Drama / Gus Van Sant / Matt Damon Robin Williams

In addition to the well-received lines, I noticed a few details this time:

1. Will and Skylan Love Line: The soundtrack for all highlights is Elliot Smith.

2. Will and the professor: When Will burned the answer and mocked him, the professor was eager to blow out the flame, slumped on the ground, and said, "I wish I hadn't met you, so I could sleep peacefully every night without thinking about it. With someone like you, you don't have to watch you ruin your talent." I think I can understand the pain and despair of the professor. Study mathematics to the extent that you can understand the difference between ordinary people and geniuses.

3. Will and the psychology professor: The experiences of the two were so similar that they cherished each other and healed each other. So much so that Will reminded Sean of himself when he was young, which made him decide to save the young man, avoid making him repeat the same mistakes, and regain hope for life; so much so that Will finally let go of his guard, untied his knot, and rushed to the He wept bitterly in his arms. Empathy is so important.

4. Will and friends: There is such a gang of loyal, supportive, I sincerely hope that your good friend ye is so lucky. Chuck's remarks have been read many times and still deeply moved.

5. Sean and the Professor: They symbolize two different life choices before Will. Although the two were at odds and looked down on each other's living conditions, they eventually reconciled. Does this also imply that Will can get a life that is both full of his talents and heartfelt for what he loves?

Ma and Ben's script is really good, and it's still rewarding to watch it again.

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.
