	Good Will Hunting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Good Will Hunting is the story of a young man and his struggle with both himself and personal relationships, trying to work through his problems so that he can open up to others, and begin putting his immeasurable intellectual potential to work.
		Will works menial jobs, hiding his incredible genius (such as a talent for memorizing facts and an intuitive ability to solve complex math equations), and his incredible knowledge of a dizzying array of subjects including law, psychology, history, and even art.
		While Will is working as a janitor at MIT, Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård), a Fields Medalist and combinatorialist, puts a difficult problem for his graduate class on a chalkboard in the hallway, hoping that someone may be able to solve it by the end of the term.

	GOOD WILL HUNTING/ ****
		Convinced that Will is a genius, he makes a deal with the judge to release him, on the condition that he practices math and sees a therapist once a week.
		Will and Lambeau have fun with the math, but Will's defensive nature keeps him from co-operating with therapists, and Will rips through five, who come crawling away from him.
		Lambeau tries to understand why Will is so dismissive of the idea of advertising his globally unique gift, when their math sessions deteriorate at the mere mention of college or an intellectually-driven job.

	Good Will Hunting
		Will is the one who cannot face and resolve his shame, guilt and anger from his past and, instead of owning it, assumes it is Skyla that can't handle his past.
		Will is shown in deep thought on his transit ride home, followed immediately by the eighth and final therapy session of the movie where Will announces that he has, indeed, accepted a job offer, taking the risk of moving out into the unknown.
		Will Hunting is a representative of the latter group, most associated with chemical and legal difficulties with very little interest in spiritual seeking.

	Salon Entertainment \| "Good Will Hunting"
		"Good Will Hunting," written by the young actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, was one of Hollywood's hottest properties long before Gus Van Sant and Robin Williams became attached to it.
		Will commutes daily from the Irish ghetto of "Southie" -- one of those picturesque white ethnic enclaves irresistible to filmmakers -- to a janitorial job at MIT, where he solves higher-mathematics equations on the sly until he's apprehended by the astonished Professor Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard of "Breaking the Waves").
		Although played by Skarsgard with wit and style, Lambeau is largely a device to pry Will free from his boozehound pals (headed by the ever-likable Affleck ("Chasing Amy"), complete with neo-pompadour and gold chains) and deliver him unto the Father Figure (Williams) and the Woman (Minnie Driver).

		Finally, his last therapist figures out that Will needs to understand that the events he encountered as a child were not his fault and that he doesn’t have to hold himself accountable.
		The characteristics exhibited by Will are symptoms of PTSD and inferiority complex.
		Will could have many psychological problems such as fear of abandonment, he could have some intimacy problems, or an assortment of other psychological problems could be diagnosed.

	Good Will Hunting Analysis
		Good Will Hunting is a poetic story of a young man's struggle to find his place in the world by first finding out who he is. Matt Damon plays the troubled genius with an acute awareness of the depth of the human soul.
		Will and Sean are never in the frame together, until the end, after Will's breakdown, then the mise en scene includes both of then, using a full shot.
		During the scenes with Will and Skylar in her room, the use of a hand held camera caused a sense of closeness that was so real, it felts as if we were in the room with them, in fact, it was almost intrusive.

	SPLICEDwire: "Good Will Hunting" review
		Will Hunting (Damon) is a troubled genius who grew up in a succession of orphanages in South Boston, the gritty part of town.
		Will's relationships to his shrink, his girlfriend, his mentors and his friends operate on so many levels that watching "Good Will Hunting" is as rich an experience as reading a great novel.
		At the core of "Good Will Hunting" is vivid, succulent dialogue that is emotionally naked, yet remarkably pedestrian at the same time.

		Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is a janitor at MIT who harbors a secret genius for mathematics.
		But Will is not good with authority figures, as his past includes abuse at the hands of his father.
		Clark, assuming Will is just some uneducated Southie scum, starts quoting from one of his history/economics textbooks, passing it off as his own thoughts, assuming that no one will recognize the true source of his words, in an attempt to impress some nearby girls.

		Will Hunting (Damon) is a headstrong, working-class genius who's failing the lessons of life.
		Will also manages to win our sympathy despite his I.Q. Not so much because he acts like "one of the boys" but because we discover early on that for every blessing he received in the brain department, he was given a matching curse in his life.
		Good Will Hunting is a tribute to the dreams of American youth.

	Good Will Hunting (1997): Reviews
		Will Hunting (Damon) is a brilliant mathematician, but also an angry young man. To avoid jail time, he agrees to work with Sean (Williams) a therapist who comes from the same tough Boston neighborhood.
		While the charismatic performances of Damon and Affleck make Good Will Hunting a difficult entertainment to resist, doing just that is not as hard as the film would like to think.
		Why is it called "Good Will Hunting?" There is a scene where Will holds a man down and beats him until there is blood coming from not just the victims nose, but his mouth as well.

		Good Will Hunting also unfairly protrayed the age-old Irish stereotype and cliche about heavy drinking and eccentric, but volatile fighting, that Will and his peers would voluntary do on a regular basis for a hobby which is not the impression to be given.
		I think perhaps what makes this film such a good one is that the man with possibly the most lowly job possible, which without causing arguements many people would consider to have a low intelligience turns out to be purely brilliant in everything and anything math based.
		Good will hunting is the inspiring, emotionally charged film that every is talking about.

		One day, Will Hunting solves a theorem (basically a really hard math problem) at the school where he works as a janitor.
		The first interactions between Will and the Professor aren't very pleasant, but Lambeau shows up just in time to relieve Will of an impending jail sentence, on the condition that Will works with him and sees a therapist.
		Most of the conflict here centers around the idea that with Will's ability, he should be able to get any job in the world he wants, but Will has no desire to spend the rest of his life "doing long division" and "explaining stuff to people".

	Good Will Hunting
		Whilst the above is a trite summary of the plot of Good Will Hunting, it is actually quite a moving and powerful story.
		The only criticism I have of this movie is that it is marginally too long, and would have been better if it had been a little shorter.
		Good Will Hunting is an excellent movie, presented nicely.

		Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is twenty years old, and already stands out in his rough, working-class neighborhood in South Boston.
		The one thing this remarkably bright, impossibly angry young man can't do - after his latest bar fight - is talk his way out of a pending jail sentence.
		His only hope is Sean McGuire (Robin Williams), a college professor-turned-therapist with an admiration for Will's emotional struggles, and a keen understanding of what it's like to fight your way through life.

		In an attempt to lure viewers who may be turned off by gore, the association's planners have dubbed this competition "nonlethal"—meaning that hunters will shoot tranquilizer darts from bows, guns and blowguns, and veterinarians will be on site to attend to the deer after they are hit.
		Hunting is about the kill, Arulandam contends, and not about wounding animals with nonlethal darts.
		"In hunting you are supposed to bring down your animal in the most humane way possible." This "catch and release" hunting has also been condemned by the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

	Salon \| Sharps and Flats: "Good Will Hunting" Soundtrack
		How is it, then, that something as simple as good guitar playing and an earnestly on-key singing voice has elevated post-punk rocker Elliott Smith to the status of music industry Buzz Boy?
		At least one major label has attempted to sign him, and indie rockers such as his Kill Rock Stars labelmate Mary Lou Lord are clamoring to cover his tunes (Lord includes her version of "I Figured You Out," a song Smith threw out after performing it once, on her "Mind the Gap" EP).
		Smith had been playing to sold-out clubs up and down the West Coast last summer when he mysteriously disappeared from the bill advertising him as Beck's opening act in San Francisco.
