In fact, the geniuses in the film are not all of us, but our lives are exactly the same. We face loneliness and loneliness every day, fear and ignorance about the future, and waste our talents. Do you know what life is? . . The following line is really great. . .
You're just a kid and you don't even know what you're talking about. So if I ask you about art, you may make superficial arguments in art books. You know a lot about Michelangelo. He was full of political enthusiasm, and he was inseparable with the Pope and indulged in sex. You know him very well, right? But you don't even know the smell of the Sistine Chapel, do you? Have you ever tried standing there, looking up at the famous paintings on the ceiling? Surely you haven't seen it? If I ask about women, you can tell me all about it, you may have been in bed a few times, but you can't tell the real joy in waking up next to a woman. You are young and strong, and if I talked to you about war, you would throw Shakespeare at me and recite "To the battlefield, dear friend", but you have never been in battle, never tried to hold your best friend's head in your arms , watching him take his last breath, stare at you, and ask you for help. I ask you what love is, you may only be able to sway the wind and the moon, but you have never tried to pour your heart into it. When your eyes meet, you understand each other's hearts. It's like God arranged for angels to come down to earth only for you and for you Saved from the abyss of hell, you have never tried the feeling of caring for her in every possible way, you have never tried to love her, and you will never hesitate to know that she is terminally ill, you have never tried The feeling of losing a loved one...

    3.5. Only from this script can it be seen that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have active creative talents and ideological levels. What the film captures at the core is actually the confusion caused by Aristotle's teleology: Does the flute appear to be able to be played? Is honey so sweet to be eaten? Mathematics professors have always insisted on teleology, Matt Damon strongly rebelled against teleology, Robin Williams wavered in the middle. The three parties subvert each other and try to make the other party suspicious. These doubts represent how to recognize and treat the outside world, and then try hard to get into the camp or resist and destroy oneself. The philosophical setting of the core theme is perfect, and the creative motivation can give 90 points. It's a pity that the film is caught up in the boring showy and long and straight emotional argument about the talent of Matt Damon in appearance, which is directly beautified, without the moving contrast and dramatic effect. To me, Ben Affleck’s monologue facing Matt Damon next to his car is the most exciting of all his performances so far. The emotion is restrained and abundant, sober and moving. What's also interesting is that its architecture is actually a martial arts film model.

    The experience did not bury my talents, but it wiped out my self-confidence. I was frightened and grew up with arrogance. I depended on this way to protect myself, and finally waited for the sentence: It's not my fault.

Good Will Hunting quotes

  • Sean: [in Sean's office] One night her fart was so loud it woke the dog up, she woke up and said," was that you?" I said "yeah", I didn't have the heart to tell her

    Will: [laughing] So she woke herself up?

    Sean: [laughing] Yeah, She's been dead two years and that's the shit I remember wonderful stuff these are the things I miss the most these idiosyncrasies that only I know that's what made her my wife and she had the goods on me too she knew all my peccadillos people call these things imperfections that's the good stuff that's what intimacy is all about the only way you find that out is giving it a shot

  • 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.
