The brilliance of this scene is that Sean throws Will’s words back at him, the words Will used earlier to put the arrogant Harvard student in his place, but on a deeper level. Will asked the Harvard student if he was “going to plagiarize the whole book, or does he have an original thought of his own?” Sean is now asking Will, “Are you going to plagiarize a bunch of books, or do you have an original experience, an original life, of your own?”

[@classicjay1880]

​I think it's all subjective. The definitions of "experiences" and "just material things" can vary dramatically from person to person. When I was younger I used to party every weekend, "going out with friends". But I wasn't really having fun, enjoying the experience. I was doing it because of peer pressure, because that's what I was supposed to be doing at that time. Now I look back and I wish I could've invested that time in "just material things" such as watching a movie I like, reading a book or playing a video game. Life is about what you make of it, not anything in particular.

Williams nails this scene, but credit has to be also given to the script. This is the moment that reveals to everyone why Sean is in his own league compared to all the other psychiatrists who had tried to work with Will before him. No one else has previously seen through Will’s hard shell like Sean does, and Will is clearly totally unprepared for that. He is left speechless, and that is the painful but necessary first step towards his mental healing. It’s a brilliantly written piece, and both Williams and Damon make it an unforgettable moment.
