Good Will Hunting



Sean: Do you have a soul mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Someone you can relate to, someone who opens things up for you.



Well,Good Will Hunting is another movie about genius. Will Hunting(Matt Damon) is a young janitor in M.I.T, and he has a great gift with math (actually he seems a genius of all).But Will has some psyche problems,and then he met his "soul mate" Sean Mogurie (Robin Williams), a very thought-provoking psyche therapist. Will got three buddies, of whom Chuckie (Ben Affleck) is closest to him.Surely,in the course of movie Will fall in love with another girl,Skylar (Minnie Driver).

For the first sight of Will Hunting,I recognized him as the leading character in The Talented Mr.Ripley. So no doubt Matt Damon gives a great interpretation of the genius' life. And Robin Willams transformed himself from a cutesy comedian to a profound soul mate,very impressive to me. But what makes this film so great is actually the seamless script.Surprisingly,the script is written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck,kudos to the two young men !
Notably,there are also criticisms for the overwhelming use of profanity in the movie and many people complained Will Hunting is too unrealistic to be true.But I don't give a damn about that! As one reviewer puts it on IMDb that if all you concerned about the movie is the bad words,you are not listening carefully,there are much more witty philosophies beneath that! In a word,although Good Will Hunting was kind of over-shined by The Titanic in 1997, with the combination of all departments' hard work and the creativity of Matt and Ben,the two Oscar Awards and numerous other awards are well deserved to the film. Thumbs up !
