Good Will Hunting is absolutely brilliant. Seriously, its about Will Hunting (Matt Damon) who is a janitor at MIT who has a genius level intellect. In order to stay out of jail, he meets with a therapist (Robin Williams) who helps him through his relationship issues. Along with the character Will Hunting, the script is brilliant. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay). This simple screenplay skyrocketed both of their careers and propelled them into stardom.
I would have to say that this is one of the most well written movies that I have seen this year. However, there were some minor acting problems, which did not degrade the writing at all. I must say that I was surprised about how wonderful the writing was due to the lack of writing experience by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
The humor was incredibly well placed to relieve some awkward tension and fill in some slow spots. Robin Williams easily helped this because he is a famous comedian. That being said, he played his dramatic part incredibly well which is why he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Along with being an inspiring movie, I found the actions of Damon and Affleck stimulating. Writing an original script in their early twenties and winning an Academy Award for that is incredibly encouraging because it truly shows that age and experience don’t necessarily mean success. Hard work and persistence are what matters. Good Will Hunting was a fantastic movie and I would recommend it to almost anyone.
