[@peterbach1126]

In my opinion that is not the point of that conversation at all. To me, Will puts up his persona as a defense mechanism and Sean just rolls with it, his answers are not true, because Will's intentions are not true. When Will sees that Sean can keep up with facade Will changes tactics. Will is essentially turning the power struggle, regularly disguised as pleasant smalltalk, into a caricature, showcasing and commenting on the twisted worldview he believes people have. Ironically Will is ignorant and arrogant since he perpetuates the negative features he despises.

@@OGharambelivesgaming Mostly, but there's a genuine HOLY FUCK in his eyes when he's backed up. First, YEP, he lifts for sure. Secondly, he doesn't try to compose himself, he'd fling Will's ass across the room if he kept on egging him. Remember the psychiatrist that he mocks with afternoon delight? He kept on at it even after the dude said fuck this. I think this and the park go hand in hand to showing him a) he's not dealing with a dullard and b) he's more than formidable. Just my two cents.

This entire scene is Will trying to provoke Sean. Constantly pulling at threads, trying to find something to get under Sean’s skin. When Sean snaps, Will thinks he’s won as his plan is to make himself beyond help so he doesn’t have to attend counseling. It’s leads to Will’s shock when Sean returns for a second session. Absolutely beautifully done

[@ShawnThroop]

Theory time, Sean knew the entire time what was happening. He knows Will is searching for his weakness so he plays along, sets it up with the first comedic rebuttal, calmly takes off the glasses, then shows he’s not afraid to physically push back while also “loosing” to Will by showing emotion/weakness/attachment first. Sean plays along like I’m sure other psychiatrists have and Will eats it up and completely missing that Sean knows what Will is doing. The next time they meet, Will has to know he’s been played but it also simultaneously proves Sean cares in a new way and he’s smart enough to keep up with Will.

[@DibbzTV]

@@ShawnThroop Nah, he admitted in the 2nd meeting that it tore him apart when he crossed the wife line until he had a “realization”

[@ShawnThroop]

@@DibbzTV I remember the next scene differently but I’m also watching clips instead of the whole thing in context. Intentional outburst or not, I’ve always felt Sean is aware of what Will is doing and lets him have the upper hand in order to illustrate how Will hides behinds his assumptions.

[@marvinwilliams7938]

It wasn’t really a win though, because Will thought his wife cheated on him or there he lost his temper because of the wrong wife, but that didn’t happen. He lost his temper out of defending her for Will’s disrespect

[@MrFiffles]

​​@@ShawnThroopsome of what you're describing is just the subtext of the scene. Sean is aware that Will is testing him and trying to prove that he's basically full of shit. Will is actively trying to get out of having to do therapy. Sean is also aware that Will sees himself as superior, because he's been able to prove he's smarter and more capable than any of the psychologists he's seen before Sean, and continues to infuriate Gerald, the math professor. Hence the criticism of his choice in books, it doesn't bother Sean, he's self confident in his intellect; his measuring up of his physical attributes, Will immediately moves on; then his criticism of the art work. He finds Sean's weakness, but misses the mark. The piece is tied to a particular set of feelings for Sean, and when Will brings up his wife whom he loved deeply, Sean snaps. The scene escalates the tension by showing Sean trying to diffuse the attacks with humor, but he loses his cool. Will is looking for the answer to why would someone smart do this job, and in the next scene with the two of them we get Sean explaining his experience and connecting.

[@joyunicycle]

[@tommyt1971]

[@joyunicycle]

Mrs. Doubtfire's great in it's own way, and I really like it a lot. However, it's funny, whereas this role is not funny. The way he comes and goes between drama and comedy is just flawless, and this scene just confirms his amazing acting ability. Plus how often do you get to see Robin Williams threaten to "end" someone and actually look intimidating?

[@GaragebornGrey]

This scene is fascinating to dissect and really shows the writers know how counselling works. I doubt anyone's interested but here's my very long in-depth analysis of the scene. This is Will's first session here. It feels important to him that he shows how strong and tough he is and that he doesn't need therapy. You see it all the time with kids in counselling, there's that way of strolling round the room as though you're a) testing the space is safe, the way an animal will in unfamiliar territory b) asserting dominance by strolling round again, almost like an animal leaving its scent and c) looking for weaknesses to attack: he chooses the books he keeps. "United states of american history volume 1" said in a sneering manner. Keep in mind all this time Sean is just sitting there still in the centre of the room, while this kid just waltzes around sneering at things, imagine how it'd feel for someone to do that walking round your bedroom? That's the feeling Will is trying to push onto Sean. Will then notices the army picture, he has some level of respect for that, it's not something he can attack so he ignores it and brings his eyes back to the books. "Jeeesus." And then lighting a cigarette, the ultimate way of asserting his dominance, "fuck your smoking rules, you can't control me just like non of the other therapists could." He then schools Sean on what the correct history book to read is "I know more than you do, you're stupid compared to me." Sean shoots back with Noam Chomsky book to say "I equal your intelligence". A moment Will again ignore, barely even taking in what Sean says. That's something this scene gets perfect: the filter people can have on their minds, Will simply filters this out and says "you people fucking baffle me." That's my favouite line of the scene because what it shows you is what all these books feel like to Will. They're not just books in a room for Sean's use, Will interpret them like bragging, like a load of medals Sean has hung on the wall to show off his intelligence. Firstly, Will wouldn't like that and has to criticise because Will needs to be the one to show of his intelligence and dominance but secondly...just the idea that that's how Will sees it. It might be correct that Sean has all those books on shelves to make himself look smart and respectable, but there are tonnes of ways Will could've interpreted it...yet he saw it as that: these books are a threat, they are this stranger therapist showing off how much better he is than me, I don't like that. Tells you a world about how Will's mind works that he sees a load of books on a shelf like this. "You surround yourself with them and they're the wrong fucking books." Another great line. "surround yourselves with them" like these books are armour, a fortress for Sean to hide behind. Just the idea Will sees it that way says so much about him...but they're the wrong fucking books, because Will need to show he knows better and is smarter. "So what are the right fucking books." Does two things a) Sean shows he doesn't mind swearing and not uptight in that same way all the other therapists were. b) he's challenging Will's point in a way that gentle and not at all confrontational. Will ofcourse can't list the right fucking books because he doesn't exactly know himself, it was just a comment he made to try and make Sean feel stupid so he says "whatever will blow your hair back." "I ain't got much hair left." This is where Sean start employing humour, largely poking fun at himself because he recognises that Will doesn't want to be made to feel small and it might set him off. It shows he can take Will's insults, he's strong enough to manage them without either breaking down or reacting angrily to them. It shows Sean is resilient to cope with Will, which begins stage two of their interactions. Will is no longer just trying to assert his dominance, he's know also testing if Sean is strong enough to bear him, or if he's weak like the other therapists and will give up on him. This is all unconscious so Will won't know it's what he's doing, but he's now starting to test if Sean is good enough to manage someone with as much emotional baggage as Will. Want proof for this fact? Remember later in the film where he tells Skylar that he reckons she'll leave him if they get too close because everybody leaves him? That's what he's expecting Sean to do, so he tests it. "If I go on the attack, if I show Sean my very worst, will he give up on me?" "You're better of shoving that cigarette up your arse." Sean's attempt to stop him smoking done with light humour. Will responds with humour but refuses to stop smoking. Sean shows he won't just completely ignore it, but he realises Will isn't ready to let go of that total dominance and power he needs to feel yet, so he laughs and just accepts it. It's almost like a compromise "I've pointed out I don't like you smoking but I'm willing to accept it this first session if it helps you settle in." Very macho talk about lifting. Sean shows Will he's not weak. In comes the filter on Will's mind after Sean points out he benches 285...that's more than Will so he ignores the comment and changes the subject. This moment is also where the session start to derail. Will doesn't want to be made to feel small and weak...the idea that Sean is physically stronger makes him feel exactly that. Will needs to address the balance by quite cruelly attacking Sean now so he goes for something very personal: a painting. As he's staring at it you hear Sean ask. "You like art? You like music?" he feels nervous that Will is going to attack his painting so he's trying to draw the subject away, Will repsonds by telling it's a piece of shit. A pretty damning statement but Sean shows he's tough enough to take it. It's not quite had the effect Will was hoping the attack would have so he sticks the knife in further. He criticises the skill of the painting, which Sean is still able to bear so he goes deeper and attack the emotions behind it. He starts psychoanalysing: he starts using Sean's own profession against him, that's as harsh as an attack as you can get. He also uses it to suggest Sean became a therapist because he fucked up his life. But again, Sean takes it on the chin. "Bingo!" I should also point out, Will has succeeded in getting Sean out of his chair by now. Wandering round the room was important for asserting Will's power but it also delays the session from really starting. If they both sit down together, Sean's going to start probing his feelings and that's dangerous waters for Will, he doesn't want that...he's now got Sean out of the chair as well and now that's happened, there's no hope of this session ever really starting. So still, Will hasn't wounded Sean so he takes a punt "maybe you married the wrong woman?" "maybe you should watch your mouth." His attack finally lands. That slight grin you see on Will's face here tells you everything. It's the same grin that anyone who has worked in a school will know. You can almost read Will's unconscious thoughts here as "I've finally found the chink in his armour. I've finally broken him down. Now I can make him lash out and give up on me the same way everyone else does, which means I won't have to sit in this chair with him and delve deep into my uncomfortable feelings, because I'd rather not think about them. I've proved I'm tougher than him, I've proved I was right to think no one can stand me when I show them my worst, and I've also proved I don't need therapy. Victory!" He makes the final blow and Sean finally loses it. Will looks a bit afraid at first but then his smirk returns and he mockingly says "time's up" meaning "another therapist I've broken, I win!" This is the part of the scene people seem to be misunderstanding. Sean's success isn't that he shows Will he won't put up with his shit, because all the other therapists showed that too, they wouldn't put up with his shit so much so that they refused to see him ever again. Sean's success is that even when Will throws everything he's got at Sean, even when he's downright cruel and stirs Sean into violence, even then, Sean will still see him again. That's an incredibly powerful thing. Sure, it's important that Sean has set some level of boundary that Will won't break in the future "do not insult my wife." but the reason the work can begin after this is because Sean will see him again. It's the very message will wasn't exepcting "I won't give up on you. Even when you're the biggest little shit ever, I won't give up on you. I will forgive you, I won't hold a grudge, and we'll come again next week to repair our relationship." That's a hugely powerful message that he shows in his actions, a message we could all do with experiencing at somepoint. Will is used to people leaving him and now here's finally someone who won't. From here on Will can't really wonder "what if people hate me deep down? What if a time will come when Sean will see my real side and realise he doesn't like me anymore?" Sean has already seen the very worst of the worst from Will and he still wants to see him again. That's Sean's success: not that he lashes out, but that he can repair the relationship even when it's taken to breaking point.

This is the scene where Will realised he was not messing with the usual quacks that get assigned to him. I think Will was pushing Sean on things sensitive to him to ensure that he would lose his temper and ask for Will to be reassigned, just like every other shrink he had seen before. What he didn't expect was that Sean was a man from hard times himself, who had no fear of him and would fight him if provoked. Although it starts them off on rocky ground, I believe it earns Will's respect, which is imperative in them gaining trust in one another later in the film.

[@kamenridernephilim]

Robin William's character is an ex Army during the Vietnam War. The giveaway is the picture on the bookshelf particularly the old olive drab camo the soldiers are depicted in. Moral of the story don't go messing with former soldiers because they might just crush your wind pipe.

So basically soldiers might attack teenagers because they get offended by words? Seems really fucking stupid, doesn't it? One would think someone who has training and discipline to be able to control their temper.

+PuroYO I think I'm gonna agree with +Mark Robinson on this. Robin's character needed to proof himself so he would have respect for him. Without the respect they would have never been able to work together. I like to believe that was the reason he didn't cut him short before it got to that point.

[@mandi8345]

Remember, will was abused. Sean became a physical threat to Will, which he knows is a big part of why Will has the walls he does. In later scenes Will questions Sean about his wife, but does so from a 'Im just wondering' stand point. Not the 'you married her? you schmuck' tone line this scene. Will may have won the battle finding the chink in Seans calm, but Sean made it very clear.... "Disrespect my wife again, I will end you" Coming from a man who is physically stronger, can conversationally spar back and forth, and can send him to prison with a phone call. But Sean doesnt want to do that. In their next scene at the lake Sean tell Will about the flaws in his armor. Sean sees the scared shitless little kid, and hes fascinated by him. And can only learn more about him if he talks. And now he knows where the line is, how far he can go, the only move Will has to hurt Sean is one that will cost him. So its his move.....

When an older guy takes his glasses off, be wary. I used to be a correctional deputy and I loved working with this old guy, Sgt Ramsey. He was in his late fifties, 6’6”, about 200lbs, and was more fit than most younger deputies. The inmates called him Sgt Death. When it came time to go hands on with uncooperative inmates (usually the younger guys), the older inmates knew the moment Ramsey’s glasses and watch came off, he was going to destroy whoever was being uncooperative. They would stated yelling to the younger inmates to just give up because they weren’t going to win against him. The youngsters never listened and it usually ended just like this clip.

He was testing how far he could push and intimidate this new therapist and the look in Damon's eyes when he knew he had crossed the line and understood there were limits and an element of edge to this therapist - which he was unprepared for - is masterful. It's the depth and maturity of the acting, the excellent script, the contrast of characters here that make for an exceptional and compelling movie for our minds. It's taught me how to be more human, and to be mindful of my words and behaviour - that hurt goes many ways and affects us unexpectedly if we continually cross lines.

I noticed how Will looked back at him as he walked out.

[@keepitsecret-dl1pr]

I think he was expecting the result, but wasn't expecting the brute force that he couldn't deal with. He never wanted to go therapy so to get out of it he tried upsetting him - he succeeded and expected Sean to give up on him, but was again, unprepared for Sean to keep trying. He completely underestimated him and Sean read him like a book and cracked him (not meant with ill intentions, just to help him, of course).

[@CursedLemon]

The thing that I love about this movie is that the relationship between Robin playing the "sage" and Matt playing the "upstart" is not as stony and cliche as it is in other works. Robin plays a man who is not emotionally invincible, impervious to the barbs and jabs of Matt's character, and that makes the dynamic so much more organic and interesting. A more pedestrian script would've involved Robin offering nothing more than a somber smile to Matt's insults, letting Matt walk all over him as part of the unveiling and healing process. This scene is an example of how two men with unresolved issues - issues that actually affect both of them emotionally and make them vulnerable - can lead to a much more impactful story with a stronger resolution.

Eventually Will hits the nail on the head with the Wife comment - you can see his smirk, he found a way to exploit and piss off this new therapist.

Sean is a man, Will is a smart-ass boy who thinks he knows about the world and judges everyone and everything else. Sean has the books and the knowledge, but he's also lived in the world...war, marriage, career, expressing himself in art...
