I'm 66 now, and have watched so many movies, and heard so many monologues, I could not even give you a number! I have NEVER heard a monologue, from ANY movie, as well written and deep as this one was! The best I've ever heard! Got to me a bit with it's truth and honestly.
Can you believe that Matt Damon wrote the script while he was still in school? "Matt Damon wrote the screenplay for the 1997 film Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck: Origin While studying at Harvard, Damon wrote a script for a class assignment and asked Affleck to help present it. After dropping out, Damon moved in with Affleck in Los Angeles and they expanded on the assignment.
Critical acclaim The film was widely praised by critics, who praised the writing and performances of both Damon and Affleck.
Oscar win Damon and Affleck won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Good Will Hunting.
Such a brilliant monologue, brilliantly delivered by Robin Williams. And what everyone seems to miss: Brilliantly written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
“Do you think I know about you, …, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you?” Is the line that pulls the whole thing together. Reading and knowing are important. But living is vital to understanding.
What Sean does here is challenge Will philosophically. Will knows that true experience trumps stories. He references this when previously mentioning 'The People's History Of The United States', as in the everyday mans experience. Sean reads him as defensive, yet perfectly throws the gauntlet back at him as if to say 'I know your mechanisms, so unless you open up this won't progress anywhere'. Yet Will knows that everyone else failed to read him so perfectly so he has no choice but to stick with Sean'. Brilliant writing.
This is one of the best movies of all time. No wonder Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won an Oscar for the script and Williams for his supporting role. But the best thing they could do was to get Robin Williams on board and never interrupt him. Some of the things he said were improvised, like the scene where he talks about his wife who repeatedly got drunk. Damon's reaction was completely natural because he wasn't prepared for what Williams said. A brilliant movie. In many ways. There is only one thing that I don't understand: Why did Robin Williams only receive a single Oscar in his lifetime?
I find it hard to believe that of all the reaction channels on UA-cam no one has reacted to the 1939 film 'Goodbye Mr. Chips' starring Robert Donat and Greer Garson. This is one of the most heart warming and emotions black and white movies ever made. I will make a prediction... one of the reaction channels will finally realise that this film exists and when they do produce a video reaction, the flood gates will open over within the UA-cam movie reaction genre.
If you get it, you get it. If you don't, then that's on you. Some people enjoy seeing other people experience epic scenes for the first time and vicariously relive it through them.
"Your move Chief"...best mic drop ever goes to the one and only, the legend that is and will always be Robin Williams
I got nothing to say. You said it best. Cheers

Robin Williams wasn’t just talking to Will. He was talking to a lot of people.
I share this every few months for that fact.
Such a brilliant monologue, brilliantly delivered by Robin Williams.
And what everyone seems to miss: Brilliantly written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

The best monologue in any film.
This soliloquy is what won him the Oscar.
Sean takes will to the paaaark. Chucky arrives.
Chucky: 'fuggin jaggas stop bein a cunnnt'

A big reason is because the Academy doesn't think too highly of comedy.
Definitely one the most under awarded actors of my lifetime
“What the ninja turtle?” Ash is funny af 😂
and maybe dumb af
He's insufferable.
I may have watched some of his reactions before, but if I did I blocked his channel.

Wow, a professional mic drop. Epic monologue for sure.
God I miss Robin. I share the same sadness as him and use comedy as a drug to overcome that sadness.
Ash’s ninja turtle line is such a classic 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"The Ninja Turtle"
What it´s so funny is that it probably was Matt Damon who wrote this monologue :). This movie stuck with me, hard not to...
#RIPRobinWilliams
If Ash was my son, I would consider myself a failure and $h00t myself in the head.
I will say, he seems like a nice person, but Jesus Christ..
Did you really say who's Michaelangelo?
Goddamn Robin Williams was great. Dementia sucks. And so does cancer while we're at it
Unbelievably. Written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. More talented than we’ve understood
A channel reacting to people reacting to a film. Does anyone else find that weird?
Why you watching then
If you get it, you get it. If you don't, then that's on you. Some people enjoy seeing other people experience epic scenes for the first time and vicariously relive it through them.
