      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.

    Terrific reaction to this, and probably the most emotional I've seen you both get watching a movie. Robin Williams was amazing, worthy of the Oscar and Damon and Affleck deserving for original screenplay. I still get a bit teary eyed towards the end. It was up against Titanic and L.A. Confidential for Best Picture. A movie that still holds up well after nearly 30 years later.

    The Fields Medal is an actual award. It's called "the Nobel Prize of Mathematics". It's awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40. So, you can really understand the jealousy of Jerry to Will, even though he respected him too.
    The "who is this person" game, I think, was really important to the movie and especially that part of the movie. Ted Kaczynski was so brilliant, if not for the psychological issues he had and what it turned him into. Will, the same thing, except with an even harder edge. It wouldn't be hard to see that if Will got really pushed to the edge...he could totally turn on the world and strike back.
    I would've loved to have seen Good Will Hunting when it came out. I started my first freshman semester at my university. I went on a date with a friend who was a sophomore at the main university campus of the university system (I was at a regional campus); We saw Titanic. While we liked Titanic, I think we would've enjoyed Good Will Hunting more.

    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.

He truly was a great, versatile actor. If you want to see him like you have never seen him before, I recommend the movies "Insomnia" and "One Hour Photo". If you want to see an great underrated dark comedy with him and Edward Norton, watch "Death to Smoochy". Great video as always ladies.

    Can u believe these 2 dorks, Matt and Ben, started writing this in their early twenties, having no idea what or how to write! And someone they knew was blown away, and got a rough bit to robin! And how they got Robin and Stellen to do this, I'll never know! Robin won an Oscar for this! After Robin died, Matt goes back to the bench every year on Robin's bday, sometimes with his kids. The park bench is a memorial now! The younger guy is Casey Affleck! The red head is now in Yellowstone, Cole Hauser! A fantastic actor, but a bit of a loose cannon. His father was even a better actor, but certifiable! Wings Hauser!!
    Originally, they didn't know how to write the end. Robin comes up with the final line, director and Matt look at each other like, Movie done! He add-libbed the wife farting lines. Matt is cracking up for real. Even the camera man was rolling....look at the camera frame on that scene, it's shaking! Robin has done several top feel good movies. This, patch Adams, good morning Vietnam, awakenings, Dead Poets, and really one could say the bird cage, Doubtfire and Jumanji....which is really a movie about Spielberg's relationship with his dad. In this movie, Ben is actually quite smart, with his brother, with the employee guys, he talks them into the dust! He could do sales, marketing, etc., he also doesn't know his potential.
    If u like movies like this, and genius and chess and life lessons, try this true story movie about a little boy, who's a chess player.

    "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.

    You're correct, great insight. Beauty and pain do go together. Everyone on this Earth goes through pain and suffering but the real beauty of people and life is how we come together and hold each other up, and deal with pain and suffering. I've seen this movie many times, and I still cry.
    Seeing Ben Affleck feel some happiness for his friend when he realizes he isn't there, even though he lost his friend and his heart is also probably dropping, is so beautiful. That was a great piece of acting, first he realizes it and it takes a few seconds to process it and you can see that little grin. I cried on that scene too just like you lol.

    This movie is one of Robin Williams best performances I have ever seen next to One Hour Photo. It’s really my favorite movie of all time. He definitely proved that he can be both a serious actor and a comedic actor at the same time.

      1 Hour Photo was a very sad movie. It was supposed to be “scary and suspenseful” but it was just depressing more than anything. Another great “villainous” role by Robin Williams is Insomnia which came out the same year

      It may seem sacrilegious but I always enjoyed Robin Williams in dramatic roles over his comedic ones.
      One thing that does seem to hold is that traditionally funny actors can play serious roles more easily than traditionally serious actors being able to play comedic roles.

      @@jmiyagi12345 sorry, but I strongly disagree with that for the most part.
      From what I understand, it’s the other way around… dramatic actors can do comedy even better than alot of comedians and comedians can rarely ever be good dramatic actors. The only 2 comedians that can pull off dramatic acting is Robin Williams and Jim Carrey… Jeff Daniels is mostly known for drama, but he blew everybody away in Dumb and Dumber with Jim. He was funnier than most comedians in that movie

      @@nsasupporter7557 Will Ferrell, not to be confused with a good actor, does very solid work in his dramatic roles. Probably his better work. Carrey, as you mentioned, was much better than he was given credit for. I am honestly struggling with coming up with dramatic actors who can do straight comedy. Maybe Jack Nicholson, but it’s usually just him being crazy, which might just be his default setting.

    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....😅

    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.
