Good Will Hunting - Word Of Advice

[@valdie91285]

The professor tried, the therapist tried, and even his true love tried. But at the end of the day it took the honest words of his best friend to shake him awake.

[@aakksshhaayy]

as it should be

[@11moleman]

ironic how i'ts dudes like this with skills in the trades and construction who in the real world make more money and have a happier life than most college kids who do their masters in history and end up as a waiter

[@aakksshhaayy]

Joel Rowe that's cause they are idiots and probably deserve it... what kind of a job is one expecting to get by majoring in shit like gender studies...

[@az21bob666]

agree but in this movie will is one of the smartest people in the world a math phd teacher at the best college in the world said he smarter then me. will could be working at the NSA for a 200,000 a year or be the next bill gates, but he want to say fuck it and hang with his bodys and he want him to go after the girl he loves.

[@whatever-wn1nk]

that's really fucked up actually. That guy is a the top of his game. His kind of genius could make millions a year. Yet he chooses to be a construction worker - that's really dumb.

[@ghost.patrols]

"'Cause tomorrow, I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna be 50..." That one line still hits me so hard, even after all these years.

[@Norcal1990]

Time is moving real fast

[@AJ_Evo]

When I first saw this movie in 1998 this scene made me think to myself, "I wonder where I'll be in 20 years? Screw it, that's ages away. I don't need to worry about that." Well now it's twenty years later. And all I can think of now is, "fuck."

[@OSVorkinn]

Best comment on KZbin. After passing 30 years I understand why grandparents always said time moves fast.

[@emilyho9371]

For me it's the what do you want to do scene and the job interview scene

[@rysmith9433]

Fuck you

[@beestonpalani07]

"i don't much, but i know that". sign of a old wise man.

[@narrowmoons]

Ben Affleck my guy

[@ryebread7224]

Some of the greatest movies out there have maybe 3-4 great scenes; but Good Will Hunting, has a great scene almost every 5-6 minutes... This is one of the greatest screenplays of all-time!

[@dsaun777]

Harvard is a good school

[@rachitpulhani3478]

good scene every 5-6 minutes and they last 5-6 minutes :))

[@MarkArandjus]

Came here to say just that! Most films are lucky to have 2-3 memorable scenes, GWH has at least six.

[@jonathanbarrera9110]

Good, not great movies like so are SO HARD TO FIND. Anyone else knows of any pls let me know Thank in advance

[@namafarm]

ben and matt were realy smart fellows as kids ans they grew up in the old mixed-class Cambridge Ma, between MIT and Harvard and the working class poor folk just like these guys they are portraying. they knew all of this stuff from living around it.

[@nightrider3067]

Very few are that good of a friend.And very few would appreciate them if they had one

[@jazzyjeff1282]

Night Rider wow, this is a really profound statement!

[@odawg114]

Will is smart, but Chucky is wise. You can tell by that curious look on Will's face at 2:37. He is just yearning for Chucky to tell him something he doesn't know. Ironic. A genius who can solve a calculus problem in two minutes, doesn't know what his knucklehead friend thinks about, even though he sees him everyday. Finally, something Will learned that wasn't in a book.

[@tommyt1971]

Odawg Kizzack Unique scene in the sense that it's Chuck who finally gets thru to him -- Lambeau sure as shit couldn't, Sean had a challenge doing it despite the fact that they're both from the same neighborhood but he still helped Will. But not even Sean could talk to Will like Chuck could.

[@odawg114]

tommyt1971 I completely agree. That is very insightful. Most people don't compare the relationships across the board like that, but it proves to be effective for a film like this. Good analysis.

[@tommyt1971]

Odawg Kizzack Thanks! Yours wasn't so bad either! :^D

[@SamaritanPrime]

...and that was the whole point that Sean was making in the park.

[@-Vitalis-]

... and that's why Will took nearly 1 hour of movie to finally realize he really wanted that girl's pussy. Everybody lived happily ever after

[@heathermetz3974]

2:07 “no, you don’t owe it to yourself, you owe it to me!” Ben’s best scene!

[@badman477]

It takes a true friend to look you in the eyes and tell you the truth, no matter how hard it is

[@ashleystewart499]

The sad reality is that most friends have the "misery loves company" approach. The fact of the matter is that most of us actually need to kick our own asses to improve our lives. It's easy to choose the familiar. It takes courage to push yourself into something new, even if that new thing is a better, more prosperous life. It's incredible how many people I've seen opt for mediocrity when they were an arm's reach from a meaningful upward move in their life.

[@brianconner3222]

That's because we know, have learned, or will learn...that just because the grass is greener, on the other side, doesn't mean it has it's other negatives. For instance, the Colorado movie theater shooter...was how close to being a brain surgeon?

[@01342663563]

I know Will is a fictional character but people like him are incredibly lucky. All of us have very few friends on earth, if any, who literally wants the very best for you in life and will tell you things as there are and call you on your bullshit. Will was bullshitting, and most friends wouldn't bother as it isn't them or their life. So count your blessings if you have a friend like this, that's basically your extended family member or guardian angel.

[@damianblue2648]

Will is based on a real person named William Siddis. He had an IQ over 225 and wasted his potential. He passed an anatomy exam at 6, passed the MIT entrance exam at 8, graduated harvard at 16. And only worked in a lab because it was part of his parole. Otherwise he just wanted a normal life.

[@davecrupel2817]

We truely want what we dont or cant have. Low iq people want a bigger life. Big iq people want a smaller life. I can't say i blame Will....

[@chinemeremohaeri9100]

Daniel Cannata Lol. I'm an idiot and I want the simplest life possible. If I was just being paid enough to be sustained and asked to work for the rest of my life. My whole life being a simple routine with a work that I enjoy, I wouldn't complain at all. Electronics research sounds interesting, only because I have an idea that I want to work on.

[@MrShelby2494]

That is a true friend till the very end.

[@miamitten1123]

_”Tomorrow I’ll wake up and I’ll be 50”_ Ouch!

[@brmillgr]

This is why having real friends who give a shit about you can be brutal and incredible at the same time. Real friends will always tell you the truth regardless of how hard it might to say or how uncomfortable it may be for you to hear. Real friends care enough to tell you the truth.

[@MrVietkong8529]

Selfless best friend. Hard to find.

[@justchris232]

Can't believe we can just watch this scene KZbin is life

[@maxpower2542]

Great scene from a truly great movie.

[@yevgeniyzharinov7473]

I agree with half of the statement.

[@SavageFreddy33]

A truly good friend will kick your ass when you need it the most.

[@DibbzTV]

In my opinion, the best scene in a movie filled with great scenes. Really shows the value of a friend.

[@jeffweber4297]

Ben A's best scene in any film.

[@headbanger2867]

He's got a damn lot of good scenes too in all his films. I've always liked how he is very calm in his roles. He owns the role in every film he takes. He was incredible in The Town and Renner just bounced his energy off of stoic Affleck to a T. This movie is quite the same. Everyone of the actors/actress' in this film killed it.

[@anonymous-fg3mm]

Its very sobering when you realize that genuine friends, genuine people like that are beyond a rarity in the real world. In my personal experience virtually nonexistent. Top-class acting; a very powerful scene from a very powerful movie.

[@Marguerite21]

In other words, Chuck is really telling Will that he should try to overcome his fears.

[@reystar]

this is a true friend. very rare nowdays

[@particlewaveduality1]

only a real best friend would be this honest

[@butcheractual]

Favorite scene in the movie.

[@scholesiefirsttime]

That’s a true friend. Not just telling the truth, but telling the truth when that person (Affleck) has something to lose - his friend.

[@Brainflayer]

Now that is a true friend, no bullshit just simple, brutal honesty.

[@deeagnol]

I wish i had a friend like that

[@stonecrazyjohn]

Glad "Will "had a true friend...told him what he needed to hear....

[@johngreystoke1135]

There is nothing wrong with wanting a simple normal life. The issue that I see is more often when people feel so entitled or special that they think they can just sit on their asses and patiently wait for the universe to come do them a favor. I think people who don't have to work that hard for their gifts in life, seldom appreciate the gift enough.

[@scrainbow1234]

The conversation up until "i would give anything to have what you got" is good, but the dialogue after 2:35 until the end elevates it to the Great level

[@jonathanbirch2022]

"you know what the best part of my day is?..."

[@BryanGuerratv]

One of the best scenes in history.

[@johnconti1329]

That is truly his best friend in the whole fucking world.

[@JeffChurch_Daddy]

Brutal Honesty slaps down any level of genius any day of the week. Just A great great scene ! “True Friends stab you in the front” - Oscar Wilde

[@eddiemarquez1911]

Ben motherfucking Affleck is a fucking genius! Good Will Hunting, Gone Baby Gone, The Town and I'm waiting for Live by the night!

[@jdur7987]

Gone baby gone was his brother.

[@bellabana]

Ben was terrific in the movie ‘The Accountant’ one of his best roles.

[@samhansen6320]

A line i would've added... For us, this is a way to make a living... For you... this is away to hide from living. It's an insult to us if you're still here in 20 years

[@dbstewart86]

That would be blatantly stating the obvious, carrying the audience by the hand; leaving it unsaid but heavily implied is a better, more natural route because 2 guys that have been friends their whole lives wouldn't have to spell out everything.

[@balajay8921]

What a friend.

[@theone9224]

How to identify your truly best friend 101.

[@backandforthupanddow]

I just woke up and I was 50, doing the same shit. That hit hard. First watched this when I was 23. Damn time goes quick.

[@Rob-Benny-Hill]

You and me bro, you and me.

[@Lolshi11]

Can't watch this scene without crying

[@superjackster0165]

Fun Fact: Director Gus Van Sant, at one point, asked Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to re-write the script so that Chuckie is killed in a construction accident. Damon and Affleck protested, but reluctantly wrote the scene in. After Van Sant read it, he agreed that it was a terrible idea. So the idea was scrapped

[@Rob-Benny-Hill]

Thank god.

[@Adamdow95]

3:10 his beer switches from right hand to left hand.

[@robertmorris8997]

he switched hands. .. either that or it was a wizard. im thinking it might have been a wizard.

Alternate ending: Will stayed for 20 years. Chucky: Tell me, do you bleed? ...You will!

[@oldschool1928]

Good friends are hard to find. Especially when they know what's good for you.

[@alilweeb7684]

I still think about this scene, dunno why but it pops into my head from time to time

[@blacjackdaniels200]

Both of their acting careers would all be downhill from here, and I don’t mean that as an insult to them but rather as a compliment to this masterpiece.

[@Jaachi_Aaron-CJ041]

Like I said before, “Both Matt Damon And Ben Affleck will never be the same again” and I still hope I get to them in person. 🙂

[@Astro_oh]

I always loved how he said "Way outta this shit, better than here." cuz Will be needed to see his friend ain't romanticize the struggle. The answer was literally that simple and he couldn't figure that out.

[@narrowmoons]

Ben Affleck's line when he said the Best Part of his day was a lifesaver for Will

[@andysammy6129]

What a friend!

[@rysmith9433]

He knows it. Best friend in the world.

[@codyralston2576]

the only one who could get to him at the end was his best friend this is my favorite scene by far

[@w.s.2102]

That's a true buddy...... I'm 47, and I've never had one person in my life like that

[@arco2008baleno]

you owe it to me

[@rysmith9433]

Thank you.

[@George-jj2tp]

Stop being racist

[@jonathanbirch2022]

best acting of Ben Affleck's career

[@conditionone2320]

2:36 the way that Chuckie echoes Will with the "oh, I don't know that?" sounds sort of like when Will is about to checkmate the ponytail plagiarist guy in the bar. That's kind of cool: Will and Chuckie are BFFs and grew up together so they have some of the same speech patterns.

[@xoppa09]

best scene in the movie

[@codg3484]

Did excellent in high school, I flunked out during the pandemic. Been working retail for some years now. Not sure what I'm going to do with my life.

[@dkinguhhh]

I went through the same exact thing. I work In construction rn and I know this isn't what I want out of life.

[@codg3484]

@@dkinguhhh Hang in there. Not sure when or how but one day, it’ll all be worth it.

I had a cousin who had what Will had. I hope he had a best friend to tell him.

[@rizwanramzan5729]

This scene is deep..

[@TC8787-yq7og]

My favourite film ever, I managed to crawl out of the absolute dive I was in and make something of myself and travel the world. I ain’t no maths genius like Will but I had enough drive not to drink myself to death in my hometown like everyone else I knew.

[@aaronmather4490]

I had to do a monologue for drama and this was the perfect scene to do

[@riveratomwaters]

The joker said... I play with knives and guns all day... Why do I want to leave construction!

[@user-pc7kp9py3s]

Great scene !!

[@redriver6541]

This is top 10 movies of my life....in my opinion.

[@francescoc.6591]

I know Will’s the focal point of attention on this film, but Chucky is my favorite character. Without Chucky, Will would have probably ended up dead in a ditch somewhere. Chucky exemplifies what a best friend should be and Will reciprocates by allowing Chucky to be the only guy he really listens to until he meets Sean. It would be nice to think that in this fictitious universe Will does something to help all his friends out.

[@mnchopndscrew]

as a musician who dosent see the point in putting music out to the world this scene really hits

[@karenmonson9893]

Seeing this movie gave me a new appreciation for Ben Affleck's acting ability. I actually liked him better in this then Matt Damon.

[@jabronicamel1957]

Great Movie

[@Brandon-ch2ot]

Had a similar conversation with my best friend. Kid is a genius. Not like this but if he can't do it he stays up all day and all night to learn how to do it with everything. Kids got drive.

[@MKULTRAMADEMEDOIT]

Same as I, almost. I'm an artist by trade and I've had and a very similar conversation with my own bestfriend. For the last few years I've been stuck in a rutt and given up completely on my art. Been forcing myself to relive trauma from the past and using it as an excuse to continue my alcoholic abuse as a front and throwing a pity party for myself. The conversation came up naturally between us while we we're having a drink and partying and it made me hate myself. I write this message to you not out of pity for myself or for clout, but just as someone on the other side of the conversation, please take it easy on us. We know you mean it in love but sometimes it takes us time to get in the groove and finally find our way in this wild world we find ourselves in. God bless you and friend, I hope you both find your place in this wicked life. #GOODVIBESFOREVER!

[@022171]

Nothing quite like demolition work. Man, it feels so good.

[@exas4791]

My favourite scene.

[@liamtuohy7355]

Anyone who still doubts Ben Affleck as an actor needs to watch this immediately

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Not beneath him; that would be an unjustified condescension. There is no "beneath" or "above" in comparing any honorable work. If he remained, he simply would not fulfill himself in working to discover what his full potential could be.

[@scottvaughn9]

Capability vs. Desire. They’re different.

[@innootey6504]

KZbin is great for having this scene

[@standz1-rr3ce]

I love how Chucky see's through all Will's bullshit throughout this scene, I think he knew Will really liked his girlfriend and when he told her she was 'gone', he knew exactly what he meant but asked "GONE.. GONE WHERE?" even though he knew already that Will had given up on a really good thing for him. He then started to ask about being hooked up with a job after the meetings because he knew Will would play it down and used it as a gateway to give him some hard truths.

Strictly speaking that demolition work not construction. Construction work you might have some satisfaction that what you build might be useful and exist long into the future. This is just breaking stuff up.
