Robin used to ride his bicycle all around San Francisco. He would show up to things going on in town and just ride around the periphery. With sunglasses and a helmet on, he was somewhat incognito and could just blend in. I saw him a few times.

Saudade = Robin Williams. 100% 😭 “The Portuguese word "saudade" doesn't have a direct translation into English as it represents a complex and unique emotion. It can be roughly understood as a nostalgic longing or a bittersweet yearning for someone, something, or somewhere that is absent or unreachable. It encompasses feelings of longing, melancholy, and a deep emotional connection to the past. "Saudade" is often associated with missing someone or something deeply, but it goes beyond mere sadness and carries a sense of profound affection and a desire to relive or recapture what has been lost.”

I find that a lot of reactors are hard on Gerry. He really went out of his way to help Will. None of the healing Will was ultimately able to get would have been possible without Gerry going out on a limb just to help Will. And yes, he tried to give him help and direction in ways that Gerry responded to, but none of it was done with ego or maliciousness. As he said, he wasn't at home twisting his mustache. And he had no problem acknowledging that he was nothing compared to Will. Or even that Sean was always smarter than him. I've always seen Gerry and Sean as two types of good parents for Will, with two ways of providing well-intended support and direction. Those two styles of parenting will of course clash, and Jerry and Sean had a lot of baggage going back to their years in college, but I'm glad Gerry went to apologize to Sean for their fight, and that they made up.

Gerry represents a valid choice, not an antagonist. Both Will (and also Robin Williams) are each confronted with three choices: (1) stay in his comfort zone by doing the same thing every day; or (2) take a leap and try something totally new; or (3) strive to be the best by maximizing the talent you've been given. Will's friends represent the first choice; Skyler represents the second, and Gerry embodies the third choice. From Gerry's point of view, Will is wasting his generational talent (just as he thinks Robin Williams wasted his genius), and he's trying to instill the lifelong discipline and focus that it takes to be the greatest in your field; notice how he's not married and seems to have few friends and no life outside of his office. And he's not wrong, look at the lives of geniuses like Beethoven and Bobby Fisher; even Michael Jordan was widely considered a single-minded jerk; they were tortured people but they are remembered. But because he is so focused, too many people think he's cruel when he's just showing what it takes to be a legend.

I'm not sure I would agree entirely that Gerry's help/direction was without ego, he certainly stands to be "the one" who discovered and brought will into the spotlight for this corner of the world (math community) but I absolutely agree he isn't the antagonist (Will is clearly his own antagonist, namely his past trauma more so than literally himself). I think Gerry is a very prideful and somewhat egotistical individual but he isn't evil or inherently a bad person. He just has a hard time seeing anything except the one driving thing, exploring his profession and wants to see Will add his substantial intellect to that field. He does have good intentions but I don't think his intentions are 100% pure either.

Gerry's man problem, with both Sean and Will, is that he can only see and approach life from his own lens... he doesn't stop and think about how or why Sean/Will's lives and experiences may have caused them to react differently in situations than him... he only thinks about how he'd react, and tries to infer from there, which is a huge mistake, given how different they are.

My all time favorite story of Robin Williams is the time he hospitalized a woman... with laughter. It wasn't intentional, but it did happen. Robin was a guest on "In the Actor's Studio" with host James Lipton in 2001. The show aired for a long time and episodes usually ran for an hour or so. Robin was on for 3-4 hours, so the televised version of his appearance was greatly abridged to say the least. As expected he turns it up way past 11 and is just absolutely hilarious. During the show, you can hear a woman laughing very hard and very frequently, so much so that even Robin commented on it. Well, by the end of 4 hours with Robin Williams doing what he did best, the poor woman ended up with a hernia from laughing so hard, and had to be taken to hospital. Robin brought so much love, laughter and joy to our world, while at the same time he suffered in silence... We are all so very lucky to have shared time with him on this planet, and we are all so greatly diminished by his loss. RIP Robin, we miss you.

Robin Williams truly was a national treasure. We're lucky enough his life and works are preserved on film for generations to continue to enjoy.

Just recently saw an old interview with Matt. He said that last scene with Robin Williams in the doorway reading his note took about 30 takes, and each time, RW would step out the door and say something different. But when he did the "Son of a bitch...he stole my line" bit, Gus Van Zant, who was standing behind Matt, squeezed Matt's shoulders and said "That's the one" lol

Robin Williams earned his Oscar. This is the greatest way to remember him. He was a genius. His performance is legendary. A true star never fades.

I've seen so many people react to this movie and there seem to be two kinds of reactions to the "come to California with me" scene. There are the people who are confused by Will's actions and frustrated with him and there are the people who know exactly what he's doing and why. I'm in the latter camp and while it's a little frustrating to watch someone not 'get it' I think it speaks to something positive. It's probably a very good thing for a person to not relate to Will in that moment. It's an awful coping mechanism for past trauma that really messes up your life. While I often wish people had more empathy and understood those of us who act like this better, I have to admit that people are fortunate to be ignorant of it.

Too bad that I subscribed some time ago, now I won't win the lottery. As for Robin, he truly was a genius and I think that is a major factor in his final decision. In a moment of clarity, he knew he was only going to get worse and one of the defining characteristics of his life, his mind, was what was being attacked. My father was a genius, when it came to basic math and construction. You could call out four 4 digit numbers and he could add them faster in gis head than you could on a calculator. He quit school in like the 6th grade to go to work full time, to help out him and his 10 brothers and sisters. So he would have trouble doing calculus but only because he lacked that education. He could also look at a blueprint of a building and quickly figure out how much of each material(lumber, metal, plumbing, wiring, etc) was needed to build it. It was painful seeing him go through Alzheimer's in his final years. I know he hated it, in his moments of clarity.

That was it. Reality set in. I felt like I lost a close family member. I wasn't ready for him to go. I feel like much of my childhood was anchored around him. With his loss that childhood also was lost. The world seems to slowly change into some place I no longer recognize with each passing of people like him.

RIGHT!!!! thanks for watching!

Every year on the anniversary of Robin Williams death I watch this movie, and the week prior to that day I binge watch all of his movies or at least the ones that I have and I save good will hunting for the actual day and it’s become a personal tradition of mine. I don’t exactly share it with anybody. It’s just kind of my thing, but I love doing that to remember him.

By all means. I love your channel by the way I just found it and I’ve been following reaction channels for a while, because I love following along with other people, and yours is by far one of the most genuine.

One of my favorite reactors, reacting to one of my favorite movies. Such a good night now! Great reaction! Can't wait for your next one.

Thanks so much for watching! Wow, thanks for being here with me! And the crew😉

One of my favorite movies. Very grounded in reality in almost every way with this fantastic genius story always in the back ground, but in the end he chooses love. We need more movies like this right now, I would be happy to drop 70% of the special effect movies to see more studio's take a chance on original stories like this.

37:45 We all love ❤️ & miss you 😢Robin Williams.

in 2004 I was stationed in Germany at the hospital in Lanstuhl. Robin Williams was doing an USO show and because I was an escort to wounded soldiers, I was able to sit in the VIP area with the wounded and high ranking officers. It was an awesome experience I was able to get him to sign my hat. The man was so hyperactive and I will never forget meeting him.

Saudade A feeling of longing, melancholy or nostalgia. That is the perfect sentiment when it comes to Robin Williams.

I think so ❤️❤️thank you so much for watching

Damn I need to rewatch this again, one of my favourite films of all time, there's just so much great dialogue within it!

Now you know why Minnie Driver got the part. She absolutely killed it. Why Sean was able to keep saying, "It's not your fault", and not get blasted upside the head was because he called him SON and meant it. Will never had a father who sincerely loved him. Sean showed that he did.

Recently found your page, you're amazing so far. Seen goodfellas and schindlers list. Keep up the great "real" reactions. BTW this is prob my favorite movie of all time. Robin Williams was truly amazing in this and is dearly missed by everyone. Thank you

Thanks for watching my videos! Means a lot!

GREAT REACTION. lots of empathy and tears, which I appreciate. You are such a nice person

I have always loved Robin. I saw his first appearance on Happy Days, first run and he owned me after that. But I'm still pissed that he died on my birthday.

@@holddowna Right? It's so good! No worries! I've been enjoying your videos :) Have a good day!

Fun Fact: Robin Williams forgot to thank his mom in his acceptance speech. He did an interview on it and talked about how his mom gave him ish about it all the time. Edit: The last line of the movie was improved. Matt Damon loves talking about filming that scene and how he jumped around with the director when he heard the line because it was so perfect.

I enjoyed your company watching Good Will Hunting with you......thank you. Robin Williams one of the greats

Love this movie. It's a special one! Ames, I remember watching when they won the Oscar, both Matt & Ben took their mothers to the awards show. 😊 How cool is that? Thanks for sharing this one! 💕

Yeah, great monologues and dialogues, very powerful stuff, well worth the cry! Trivial fact about Robin Williams: my first "encounter" with him was with the show "Mork and Mindy", way before your time; he played a character that was very typical of him. Thanks for sharing your experience; warm regards from the Netherlands.

Dankuwel!

I couldn't take it seroiuly, at least the premise. But I'm glad you enjoyed it! With that cast you are at least going to get a well acted movie.

Top 10 of all time for me, easy, and your reaction was really beautiful. Some of these monologues are so powerful. R.I.P. mr. Williams, one of the greats. ❤

This masterpiece should be a part of every high school curriculum on the world. “Be kind. Always.” ‘You never k ow what the other person has to deal with. -Robin Williams.

Fantastic film. The “it’s not your fault” scene is especially amazing. Touches the heart.
