Good Will Hunting Review

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck co-created this wonderful story for which they have been awarded an Academy award and rightly so! And for those fans of Robin Williams who are satisfied with 'Dead Poets Society' and 'Good Morning,Vietnam', you CANNOT afford to miss this film. Williams earned his much deserved Academy award(in a supporting role) for this film. Good Will Hunting is a film that has inspired and touched the most sensitive corners of the introverts. Introverts,who nurture an agony which torment them,and make them flee from any good development in their world- they are unable to unshackle themselves from a bitter past and kill themselves little by little with their own anxiety.

Within the campus of MIT lives an anonymous genius who solves the toughest math problems within an hour! Professor Lambeau(Stellan), a Fields medal winner is astounded to find that the genius is a native sweeper,a young boy named Will Hunting(Damon)- a self-taught prodigy,with eidetic memory. Lambeau takes Will under his wings and embarks on a mission to make Will follow his legacy,bear his stamp! Will Hunting,on the other hand , is shown to be a conscious of his abilities and quite proud of his originality! He hates to be tamed. With a sordid past lurking beneath,he fails to grasp the good in his life,and shoves away the beautiful Skylar who is helplessly in love with him. His recklessness and rash,unkempt behavior provokes Lambeau to assign a shrink to bring Will back to moderate ways of life. It is after several sabotaged appointments,that Will meets Sean Maguire(Williams) who completely changes Will's perspective and his understanding of life.

The inspiring words that Maguire has been given to orate are indeed inspiring and bear so much meaning within their simplicity. Worth a watch! For it will change how we value our life! It will change our idea of loss!
