254 IQ Genius Stuck Being a Janitor

Will Hunting, a janitor at M.I.T., has a gift for mathematics, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.
William Sidis, Author and Professor - IQ 250-300
In 1909, William Sidis broke the record for the youngest person ever to be accepted into Harvard University. He was eleven years old.
Sidis would go on to write “The Animate and the Inanimate,” about thermodynamics and the origins of life. He is said to have spoken 25 languages, and at one point he even invented his own.
If the claims about him are true, he may have had the highest IQ ever. Critics propose that 254 was actually just the place where he fell in the ranking on the exam.

[@Moviecaps]

Movie : Good Will Hunting (1997) William Sidis was a real person, he has the highest recorded IQ of all time. (250-300)

I've got thousands of my dads drawings and paintings and imagine one day he will be a known artist it's just a shame he didn't have any hustle....

[@generalpublic3744]

There was a lad at my school who was a genius, a very unstable one! He had a notorious temper and could be violent. He passed his exams effortlessly. I remember I played table football in a team game, he was attacking and I was defending. The teams who played the table were so good the balls went in the goal at an estimated ninety mph! For one full minute this guy waited to strike and when he did I saved it. He gave me such a venomous look that I didn't bother to save any more. At our school the chess cup was taken seriously. This guy learned how to play chess in a week and got into the finals. A friend of mine played against him, clearly losing the game he took the rooks pawn with his queen checking the castled king. All the guy had to do was take the queen to win, but for some strange reason he thought the queen was guarded and moved his king away. They were playing the game in one of the chemistry labs. When he found out what he had done he badly damaged a lot of equipment in there. He ended up as a farm laborer. He clearly could have had a fine career in anything he wanted, but he was content to live and work as a laborer. So this film reminds me of him. There is nothing wrong in choosing to be a janitor. It is an individual choice. I think it more disturbing when others are manipulative and think they know what is best for someone, rather than leaving it for the individual to decide for themselves. Let sleeping dogs lie.

@@joshx022 lackey*, they were real life friends before this movie? I don't know much about their backgrounds but Ben never showed intelligence so I am not surprised he made such dumb statements without care that his kid's mom would be seen as being blamed by him for his alcoholism.

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

Different brains specialize in different connections and abilities. My wife has an IQ in the 130s. Yet math isn't her strong suit. Intelligence plays a role, but it's not everything when it comes to learning various subjects.

[@imnotstupid5058]

@@vladimirofsvalbard9477 Yeah I understand that, I can either say something very smart or something very stupid, intelligence is a very hard thing to figure out there's different types and different levels and there's no true way to measure it, idk about mine though it is never constant.

[@nuyabuisness7526]

I have similar problems. I can do kinematics and calculus easy, but stuff like magnetics and circuit mathematics just falls out of my head.

[@Magneticitist]

I have severe math allergy and I'm dumb as a brick at it but my mother was a math major and her father was a university math professor. I think sometimes the apples just fall an interesting way. My fathers side of the family including myself seem to be better at general engineering so long as the math is not involved lol. Not really sure how that even works.

The thing is that he was happy being a Janitor, because according to him everything was equal and knowledge was just knowledge

[@arbutuswatcher]

Definitely an emotionally moving, & thought-provoking movie, by the late Robin Williams.

[@archerc4828]

Well done, it was a very good movie and was very well portrait in this video.

[@DarkAtHearts]

One of the greatest movies of all time. This belongs in a museum. Also one of Robin Williams more serious acting roles. Legend.

[@mariakelly1059]

You should watch The Fisher King. Mr. Williams received a Best Actor Oscar Nomination for his performance in this movie, and he should have won for this performance. I strongly encourage everyone to watch The Fisher King.

Rest in Peace, Robin Williams

Love, faith and trust are also important themes in the film. After Hunting let his girlfriend into his vulnerable, emotional side, he found everything he had been searching for in life. The answers to his problems couldn't be found in books, but they could be found in love.

[@baderali8099]

I enjoy watching movie recaps to skip the un-interesting parts but sometimes movies like this one its better to watch the whole thing. Its just worth it!!

[@darkwarrior478]

People argue about IQ when they miss the fact that this is a beautiful movie, loved it!

[@sni18per]

i watch this movie atleast once year without fail, and can almost recite all the iconic scenes, specially the ones by the great Robit Williams may he r.i.p. This time i had this video autoplay in the background while folding some clothes. And even though i was half concentrated, and listening to the robotic voice of the narrator, i still got choked up atleast 3 times throughout the video. after 10s of rewatches i still cant help but tear up a little bit when i see the sad, but happy smile on Ben affleck's face when he reializes his friend has finally gone away. Truely a masterpiece

[@iandevine3063]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@namelessone5968]

gotta say, this movie is a really good watch especially when one is about to graduate, like the fear of the future's unpredictability as you go from a student to a full fledge adult...taking risks and not downplaying one's own potential

[@coffeeNTrees]

the gathering storing of knowledge and the ability to find an application for it are two completely different things and at times are home to opposing poles. often times those of us interested in gaining knowledge as our life's work have no intention of applying the knowledge. This has taught me that you never know who you're speaking to, and to treat everyone with respect while respecting yourself enough to be yourself for yourself.

[@MrRed-cf6gk]

Damn. This is probably the only movie I’d rather watch fully time because there’s so much good stuff that get cut out in a recap and normally that’s good cuz the movies aren’t great but this movie is insanely good and the actors are amazing

[@xzqzq]

" Dogma ' is also good, by the same guys. I'm not enough of a Biblical scholar to grasp all the nuances & references. Alan Rickman, as usual, was wonderful. The anti-Catholic George Carlin as the Bishop was truly droll .
