That “Good Luck son” is such a great line. Especially given Will’s abusive upbringing. Someone showing genuine pride in what “Will” is about to become.

such a damn perfect scene. sean saying thank you back to will for how much hes impacted and benefitted him as well and then using the light humour thats worked so well in putting will at ease at what is probably a moment of immense doubt and anxiety as hes moving past this step/stage of therapy that he had become comfortable with after a lot of resistance. I relate to will and this scene, can imagine its almost like a fear of "relapsing" into the same pitfalls and indulging the same fears/defensive mechanisms that you let control you and ultimately stagnate your life...

Everytime I think of Robin, this is the first role that comes to mind. Perfectly captured the range of his talent, making you feel heartbreak, love, joy and fear over the course of this film. Truly beautiful work.

[@dweb704]

The "good luck son" part is obviously just a term of endearment from an older guy to a younger one, but it really does double as a surrogate fatherly type of statement. I feel like Sean knew Will needed to hear that as a final seal to send him on his way. And I do agree with other comments expressing the look of comfort in both Will and Sean's eyes as they're both not only glad to have known each other, but that they'll definitely miss each other from now on. Really incredible on top of an already incredible movie. When people ask me what's my favorite movie ever, there's just too many to name but for an art film overall - this is the one.

[@nobodydummy12345]

Robin Williams really was one of the greats. Sure do miss him

[@pod9363]

You'd think with all the stuff he knew via his exposure to work like this and looking, hopefully, into his own past that he'd be able to fight his way through whatever was fucking with him inside. Maybe the culture around Hollywood just wasn't the thing he needed.

This is such a peaceful scene to me for some reason. I find I keep coming back to watch it. Just seeing Will being so genuine and grateful to shaun is really nice, its like all his hardships are over and now hes free from his pain and can start finally being truly happy :)

Never picked up on this before. A perfect scene. Stirs up a lot of emotions, sometimes getting a genuine good luck from someone can really make a huge difference in your life.

[@pablorobles1277]

One of my favorite movies. Amazing powerful performances by a great cast. Robin, Damon, Ben and all the supporting cast were superb. The screenwriting was magnificent and deserved an Oscar in it's own right.

[@DontHatemusiK]

*"Good Luck, Son."* Gahh, i felt that

[@matteogozzi7101]

Matt Damon and Robin Williams..what a performance! Two fantastic actors! Wonderful movie!

[@TonyPerez816]

One of my favorite details in this scene is how they are sitting. In the other therapy scenes, they are sitting very far apart. Will takes the furthest seat possible, avoids eye contact, and constantly is looking around the room, or getting up, walking around, lighting up a cigarette, something... ANYTHING to avoid. Slowly, he sits facing Sean, gets a little closer, gradually... As his trust grows. In this scene, Will is clearly apprehensive about the end of their sessions, but he's sitting close, keeping steady eye contact, totally at ease. The level of trust, respect, and genuine caring is clearly evident in every word and movement here. Proximity, physical contact, all of it. Another great detail in what I consider one of the finest, most nuanced films in history.

[@runningwithgauntletts9508]

“Good luck son.” Three words I wish I heard growing up

[@joelmiller3174]

My mom spent about an hour with Robin and had no idea who he was. She was baby sitting at an entertainment party because she knew her grand-kids would be there and would be totally bored. Robin came into the room because he wanted to be away from all the "Hollywood" stuff." They talked about raising kids, etc. She said he was very nice and quite shy and genuine. I imagine the character that he played in this great movie was very close to the real Robin.

[@Enoughalready20237]

‘Good luck, son.’ That’s all Will needed to hear. That blessing.

And imagine how Will felt saying goodbye after such a short time with a fatherly type that seemed to genuinely care for him. It’s a profound scene.

[@thebigbop5866]

I just beam with pride at that last exchange. What a movie, I'm completely invested in these characters.

[@silver292]

You could see even here that Will was worried Sean would reject him and say "Sorry kid, our sessions are over I don't want to see you anymore." Even if you know intellectually the truth that can heal you, it still takes a lot of time to recover from feelings of rejection or betrayal. He 1:10 he almost seems surprised when Sean turns around to give him the answering machine phone number. Sean wanting to keep in touch with Will when he doesn't have to was probably was just as healing for Will as the actual sessions he had with him.

[@ObamaFromKenya]

@Jairus Robb Will is going to be working for, presumably, a company (“McNeil”) that has computers. It’s 1997. Now granted, not *everyone* had email in 1997, maybe Will, while a genius isn’t tech savvy, but surely Bunker Hill Community College had email. Shouldn’t Sean have said here’s my email, just shoot me a note and I’ll get right back to you.

[@helgaioannidis9365]

I've experienced something like that with a client who had a history not so different from Will's. The institution that was paying for her therapy decided they wouldn't pay any more as she had run away. But she kept in touch with me and I kept seeing her regularly every week. After 3 months I told her that I didn't get paid and kept seeing her because I love her and feel responsible for her and later towards the end of our work she told me that that made her believe she deserves being loved and is not some monster that everybody will reject. She's been in a stable relationship with a loving and caring partner for a year now, finally healing. ❤️

I just finished a year of therapy for PTSD and honesty it was pretty similar to this. Just a summary report, a light convo, and the goodbye. No hug tho lol - just a handshake

[@paddypup1836]

Anyone else think that this is almost the real robin Williams personality? When he wasn’t making us all laugh.

[@shayneoneill1506]

I think he was all those things. People that knew him said he was as effortlessly funny in real life as he was on stage. But Williams was funny because he genuinely wanted other people to be happy, and theres nothing like a good laugh to put people in a positive mood. He had a dark side, and he had a quiet and emotional side. But he also had a maniac funny side, and that was part of the real robin williams too.

[@small_things5291]

It is a very convincing insight even if not true. True Robin Williams, emotional, caring, loving his family, a bit sad and lost. Like the man on the boat in the picture.

[@joes2454]

This isn't a termination, that happens when a client doesn't show up and provider terminates services, this is a close. And that is the hardest part for a therapist as well as the client. That line "Do what's in your heart son, you'll be fine." Find a therapist to whom you relate, bond. This was shown throughout this movie. "He's from Southy?" This is about as real as it gets. I'm a psycho-therapist working with CBT clients. I did a lot of work in the correctional system both adult and juvenile. That scene about Shawn sitting in silence "He just sat there watching the minutes tick away, it was quite impressive...only I can't talk first." That's real, then Will tells the airline joke. I love that.

[@DibbzTV]

Yes. Find a therapist that specializes in what you need and you can bond with. As a patient who’s been twice before for short stints (only like 4-5 sessions each), actually CHOOSING a therapist instead of just random click made ALL the difference. Just finished 1 yr for PTSD and it was pretty similar to this. Respect for what you do btw ❤

Also, any advice as for letting go? My therapist said I can leave everything at his door. It hit me like 2 days later and I just cried out of joy cuz I could feel myself letting go
