Robin Williams God rest his soul was a genius and an amazing actor. He did A LOT of improvising in order to get REAL reaction from his fellow cast. All of the DJ speeches in Good Morning Vietnam was improv. The scene in Mrs. Doubtfire when his teeth fall into the glass was improv. The reactions were all real and unscripted but kept in the movie.

For Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg had purposely cast Matt Damon as Ryan because he was virtually unknown and had All-American handsomeness. However, this movie came out a couple of months before and made Damon a star.

Also shaving Ryans private... a movie.. ina diffrente genre ...but with a simular name.

The scene where Affleck's character tells Will that the best day for him, would be one where he would wake up to the reality of hos friend having left... Gets me every single time. The slight bitterness about not having such a gift, but the immense brotherly love for Will. That is acceptance. Peace of mind, in a nuttshell.

Long, long story, but Good Will Hunting changed my life, and not just in a "I saw it and was inspired" kind of way. And Robin Williams was why I became an actor. I met him in 2011. He was adorable. When he passed, I spent 3 days in bed crying.

Finding Forrester is another beautiful movie by the same director. It wasn’t as big of a movie as Good Will Hunting but still just as good

If you watch when Will is hugging Sean and crying, you'll see that Sean's eyes are smiling and joyful. He knows what a breakthrough that was. Notice throughout their last couple of encounters that he calls him, "Son". He doesn't mind being a surrogate and a mentor, and he'll be happy to stay in contact with Will. It was a breakthrough and Will is a genius but he certainly doesn't have all the answers. It will be invaluable to have someone he knows he can trust to help guide him. 'We all could use someone like that.

One of the best films ever made.

"Do you like apples?" "Yeah." "Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?" Fun Fact: Gus Van Sant painted the picture that hangs in Sean Maguire's (Robin Williams') office. Five Year Dream Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen. What Script Fact: The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. Robin Williams' last line in the film "Son of a bitch. He stole my line" was also ad-libbed. MIT Connection Fact: Matt Damon, a former Harvard student, originally intended to make the title character a physics prodigy. He discussed his idea with Sheldon L. Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics and, at the time, a Harvard professor. Glashow told him that the premise did not ring true to him: he suggested that the main character be a math prodigy instead. He referred Damon to his brother-in-law, Daniel Kleitman, a professor of mathematics at MIT, who provided advice on the story. Both Glashow and Kleitman are thanked in the credits.

oh yeah, this movie makes me cry every time i've seen it. it's one of my favorite movies.

During Sean's speech on couple intimacy, it's amazing to feel how he takes us from laughter to deep emotion. I love this film and I've seen a lot of reactions about it. This is the film with the most authentic emotions I've ever seen, without using children, etc., how easy they are to bring us to tears.

I was thinking bout this movie and I just realized that last scene with Robin Williams and Will was a metaphor for how Will was pushing those he loved away so he wouldn't get hurt. Will physically pushes Williams character away but he stands firm. He shows he won't abandon him even after he has built trust with Will. Then the breakthrough. I think masculine energy is more prone to be adept at showing the firm and strong, supportive but not smothering love. That brotherly/father type of thing. I guess Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are smarter than I thought as screenwriters. LOL I cried at the movie but I have overactive tear ducts and will cry at a Folger's commercial or yawning. It's so attractive to the ladies....😅

"I've heard reading makes you smarter. We should all try it." I have a feeling that there are a lot who would fail in that attempt...

First time watching, and realized those were third year problems on the chalkboard. Took me a bit out of the movie. Recently, asked a history professor from the local uni if he thought the history lesson Will gave was too easy. He said no. So, not all watered down.

Good Will Hunting is one of my favourite movies. It is insanely good. A few years ago I found a clip on another channel explaining the history of 3 mathmaticians, that is believed to heavily have inspired Matt Damon when making this movie. George Dantzig was a math university student. He usually came late to classes for different reasons. Came in, saw a problem on the blackboard and wrote it down, thinking if was homework. Worked all weekend, because the problem was harder than usual. On monday afternoon he came in to the professors office and handed in the homework, mentioning it was a hard one. Professor didn't think much of it, but took a look a few days later. Early in the morning the professor started banging like a maniac on the door of Dantzig. Screaming. "you fucking solved it, you fucking solved it. Those weren't homework, those were unsolved mathmatical problems and you solved them!!" William Sidis was a young mathmatical genius. He held lectures for his classmates at age 12, at Harvard. Graduated at age 16. He started to hate academia and became involved in communism. At age 19 he was part of a communist riot in boston. Was arrested. Was forced into therapy. The therapist? His own dad. The parents locked Sidis in, he wasn't allowed to exit the house. When the forced therapy was getting closer to be done, the parents were planning on kidnapping and forcing their son to move with them to California. They even threatened him to have him placed in a mental hospital if he didn't obey them. Sidis managed to avoid but swore off all types of Academia. He held a job in New York, lived alone. His landlord said he lead of constant bitterness and died of stroke, age 46. Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathmatical genius discovered in his 20s. He had learned all the math he knew just from books he had managed to accees. No formal training, no university. He was still considered one of the most accomplished mathmaticians and his mentor has said about Ramanujan that if he was discovered earlier he could have been the most important mathmaticians of all time. Math is a young man sport. There is so much you need to learn, before you can start evolving new math. Srinivasa Ramanujan died at age 32. So. To make it more simple. The relationship between the professor and Will Hunting = Srinivasa Ramanujan. The therapy and trouble kid = William Sidis. The kid that solved impossible homework = George Dantzig.
