Plots(1)
The most brilliant mind at America's top university isn't a professor... he's the guy who cleans its floors, Will Hunting (Matt Damon in an Oscar.-nominated role). But Will is also a headstrong, penniless guy failing the lessons of life and love with his wealthy girlfriend (Minnie Driver). Facing a jail sentence after one too many run-ins with the law, Will's fate lies in the hands of his therapist (Robin Williams), who might be the only man able to help him see his true potential. Also starring Ben Affleck, who co-wrote this Oscar winning original screenplay with Damon, Good Will Hunting is the inspiring, emotionally charged film that has everyone talking!

I enjoyed the film a lot more than the first time I saw it. Plus, I had some good laughs watching the scenes with Ben Affleck, whose face was clenched like a person's rectum. It was a good story, you could tell that the creators put effort into it, which means I wasn’t hit by a tsunami of pathos. 4*+

It's been mentioned here many times, but the script is simply unprecedented for two people so young. The dialogues between Matt Damon and Robin Williams are amazing, they blew me away and I just believed them. The film itself may not have wowed me as much as I might have expected, but thanks to the wonderful soundtrack, the performances (especially Damon’s) and last but not least the idea itself, it definitely deserves at least a little place in my heart.

Americans love stories about talented outsiders who have managed to succeed, and the whole world loves touching stories that skillfully manipulate our emotions. Good Will Hunting fulfills both of these criteria and shows why Hollywood is called the dream factory. It has nothing to do with real life, but it is enjoyable to watch and is a nicely cast film with decent direction, and above all, a screenplay that fully meets the requirements for a box office hit. I won't give it five stars because it is too artificial, but I also can't go below 4 stars. Overall impression: 75%.

The two hunks did a good job writing it, although superficially, and where psychology was not enough, they provided proven phrases like "follow your heart". In the end, however, this drama about the search for the meaning of life also offers quite a moving resolution. What’s more, Van Sant directed it gently, with feeling and plenty of space for excellent actors... Even though Good Will Hunting bubbles like simple lemonade, it is able to amuse and has a decent impact.

Psychological-romantic delicacy, which caught me off guard at the age of fourteen and I thought about it for a long time and identified with Will. Later, I abandoned the uncritical worship, but I will always admire the idea of two young guys who subscribed to a Hollywood career with their life's work. However, the best thing about this movie remains Robin Williams' life role.
