Good Will Hunting - Dealing with Pain

[@austin910]

this is one of my all time favorite movies. i was rewatching it the night before i started my junior year of high school and was having trouble sleeping with anxiety about school starting the following day. the night i watched it was the same day that robin williams committed suicide. i finally drifted to sleep thanks to the comfort this movie brings but i ended up waking up during the “it’s not your fault” scene. i can admit that i cried like a baby in that moment. hands down my favorite robin williams performance.

[@StormAF]

Bless your heart!! I don’t know anyone who did not ugly cry, that day! Not one person.

[@StormAF]

I called my dad and he cried with me. It was not long after(to me), that I lost my own dad; rare form of cancer but personally, he was my own Robin Williams.

[@braeling3677]

“You don’t wanna hear that I had fucking cigarettes put out on me when I was a kid” I get chills from that scene and I’ve seen it 100 times

[@MasterSeth99]

You didn’t get “chills” quit exaggerating. People always comment on some of the most mundane tv/movie scenes “I got chills down my spine” no you didn’t... it’s fucking cringe.

[@braeling3677]

Unbelievable that young Ben and Matt wrote the screenplay. The chemistry, the emotion, the characters, the dialogue in this movie, it’s all rock solid. Every actor that was in this movie belonged here, every shot was just right. It’s not the Godfather or whatever people say is true cinema, but it’s just right. Every piece does what it needs to do. To me, Good Will Hunting is an overwhelmingly earnest movie. It is made to handle emotion and healing with an unbelievably graceful, gentle touch. It is made with overwhelming love, so much so that it’s near physically palpable. The tangibility of this film is measured in the tears you spill watching it.

[@DoGmAnGuY1758]

"maybe you married the wrong woman" *Maybe you should watch your mouth* I always loved how quickly and easily Robin delivered that line.

[@jeffb-c]

Dude, chill out with these bangers

[@fufuman27]

Everyone check out elliott smith, his music was used in the film and it just adds to the raw emotion of the film. He’s my favorite artist of all time.

[@davidharvey5480]

Hes awesome love between the bars and Angeles

[@Meir-Hai]

My favorite movie of all time, Idk I've some weird connection with the characters and dialogs that caused me to watch this movie like 40 times or even more... Just loving it.

[@Xphantomgamer]

Honestly and it’s my favorite movie too cause I can relate to it so much and the whole movie is harmless and just nothing wrong with it it’s one of the best films about mental health

[@kd2156]

Yess me too

[@pierluigibelcaro9950]

This is a movie that I literally adore ... full of humanity and love ... not just "a movie", but the best food ever for your mind and soul. And looking at the eyes of Robin Williams you really can see an ocean of love overflowing ... it's something so heart moving, I can't hold back the tears ...

[@koujouyamaguchi5297]

“It’s not your fault” scene always has a special place in my heart.

[@isadorehackel6052]

Hey great video, brings me back to my first viewing of the film, I can’t deny I shed a tear during the scene when williams keeps telling Matt “it’s not your fault”

[@AMatterofFilm]

Gets me every single damn time. Thank you!

[@MrPlito95]

We all did, friend. We all do.

[@ajunaibi99]

Shed a tear? I broke down 🤣

I am watching this at the gym, yes brain food and prepping a new script as well. Fantastic idea

[@yungmetr0135]

[@EstusFlasked]

I think the reason I can appreciate this movie so much is just the raw emotion you get from these characters...something you really just don’t get that often in cinema anymore.

[@twerps1]

Great stuff! I personally always saw the kaleidoscope intro as his viewpoint on the world, how everything is always broken up into a million different pieces, carefully analyzed to discover the potential risks and dangers. Indeed giving him a reason not to connect.

[@ColeKTM]

Why can't more movies be like Good Will Hunting? I learned so much from this movie.

[@EyebrowCinema]

You know, I haven't seen Good Will Hunting since high school. Your video has me in a mood to revisit it, and unlike The Last Samurai, I actually own Good Will Hunting, so a rewatch is a lot more likely. Good work.

[@AMatterofFilm]

Definitely. One of the best scripts ever written. Thanks, Daniel!

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

I just saw this movie for the first time a few days ago. I knew it was a classic, but never got around to seeing it. "They became each other's therapists.... realizing just how damaged they both were." True. It's a piece that so aptly protrays vulerability and pain and mental health with men, particularly a younger man, and an older man, that I think all the world should see - especially for its damaging effect of hiding things and letting them fester, versus trying to make connections with others and start the road to healing and becoming stronger.

[@haydenastewart]

I just turned 13 a couple days ago, but Good Will Hunting as been my favorite movie for a few years.

[@yukimaruzam]

"This simple, but extremely effective technique". I feel like there is so much in this film that uses simple, but extremely effective technique, and that is what makes it great. We all see it as fans of the movie. We are all moved by it. Great stuff.

[@benchris_gb]

Damn my media teacher would probably want to marry you after this analysis. I’ve just watched this film for the first time and I think it’ll be my favourite film, great video aswell btw

[@willscanlon9843]

This is a movie that I feel like was made just for me. I relate so much to Will Hunting and can learn a lot from it.

[@rodrigoolivera112]

First, great video and second, this movie is just beautiful, it is a portrayal of humanity, how complex a person can be and how little you really know about those who sorround you.

[@RandomDude655]

I've only seen this film a handful of times, though I really can't say they were full viewings because they were all on TV with heavy commercials. But I will say, I do like this film quite a bit. And to be completely honest, it was at times late at night when I was tired so I probably give it a proper viewing one of these days. Anyway, I'm loving your videos, your analysis of "Drive" popped into my recommended and I haven't stopped watching your vids since.

I watched this on 98, my first year of college. A year later met the woman, love of my life, and because of inmaturity ans insecurity i lost her on 2009. Im married now, with a son, and love them both to death, but for my first love, she will allways be the one. We have to take responsability from our own actions. I wasnt good enough for her, and that's my fault. I will always love you Carolina. Sorry for my mistakes. ♥️
