GOOD WILL HUNTING (1997) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@shaywhite5064]

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote this movie and both won Oscars. So did Robin Williams. I am SO in for this, thank you!!!!

[@elcorado83]

And produced by the one and only Kevin Smith! For another classic-but dark-film, see "Gone Baby Gone"- directed by Ben, starring brother Casey.

[@van8ryan]

Yeah, "exec-produced" by Kevin Smith, though Smith has said his biggest role was reading the script and giving it to Miramax who bought it and got the ball rolling. Damon and Affleck even asked him to direct, to which he said, NO WAY; it has to be directed by a MASTER director. Robin easily should've won the Oscar for FISHER KING (his best lead performance in my opinion), but GOOD WILL HUNTING definitely gave him some great speeches (and him deciding to do the movie was what got it made in the first place)

[@Niftster]

Casey plays Morgan in this, too.

[@mikepaulus4766]

And then Ben Affleck told Kevin Smith that he had to write a movie for him because nobody writes like Kevin. He told Ben, "One of us has an Oscar for writing, and it is not I."

[@josephscally6270]

The last line of the movie "SOB stole my line", was a Robin Williams adlib. Damon and Affleck immediately knew it was the perfect ending line, so they kept it in the movie.

[@jamesfalato4305]

From what Matt Damon recounted in an interview sometime later, Robin Williams kept trying literately dozens of different thoughts, and when they heard "SOB stole my line" they knew that was perfect...

[@joaoluizfonseca6914]

Two things: that bench scene is why Robin Williams won the Oscar Second, that “it’s not your fault” scene is why Matt Damon has one of the most convincing cries in Hollywood, and it’s why I love these two characters so much This movie is great, and it deserves all the praise it gets. Btw, there was a limit of how many f-words they were allowed to have in the movie, and the script supervisor said they were off by over 200 times 😂 but the nasty language kinda adds a nice touch to it

[@Marcus_1001]

Truth, and I would like to add one more thing. The scene were Robin is talking about his wife farting in her sleep was completely improvised. Matt Damon's laugh is completely authentic. If you watch very closely you can say the camera move slightly because even the camera man was shaking with laughter. Brilliant!

The bench that Matt Damon and Robin Williams sat on during that scene was stolen the day after Williams died.

[@scottepps6500]

You see why Robin won the Oscar for this role. One of the greatest performances ever.

[@debrawilson9791]

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are actually from Boston and that’s why their accents are so perfect. They wrote this when they were so young. They both actually brought their moms to the academy awards. They won an Oscar for best original screen play.

[@tanalee837]

Cambridge. They're from Cambridge. But yeah their accents are perfect. Robin's not so much but his fabulous acting makes up for it.

[@buckbuchanan4902]

Patch Adams, The Dead Poets Society and Good Morning Vietnam are Robin Williams' greatest movies. You should definitely check those out as well. The great thing about Robin is his ability to go from gut splitting comedy, to heart breaking drama in an instant. Nobody has ever done that better.

[@Shell2164]

I loved him in one hour photo, that film made me so emotional 😢

[@JustinHamsley]

I really enjoyed "Awakenings" with De Niro. I feel it hits a little differently after COVID.

[@davidkeech9738]

Patch Adams? Really!? Williams is good in it but the movie is awful. I'm a liberal, but even that movie made me want to root against Dr. Adams. WAY too condescending and WAY too full of himself. I'd be asking for a new doctor if I got him.

[@Stogie2112]

Patch Adams was not a good film. It was soundly panned by critics. I was a huge fan of Williams since he first appeared on TV, and even I didn't like the film much.

[@paulbiz8708]

There's a whole Robin Williams world to explore. ENJOY!!! Robin is pure joy in whatever he's playing.

Ben and Matt are basically just as good of friends in real life as their characters are in this movie. They basically grew up together.

[@ornotgortwormiii8731]

'Good Morning, Vietnam' is another great Robin Williams movie.

[@heatherqualy9143]

One of the best movies ever. Robin Williams deserved his Oscar. And even more so, Ben and Matt did. Each time I have watched this movie over the years, and am even more impressed with the outstanding script written by these two very young men. Two boys who had had very few acting roles, and honestly very little life experience. Who frankly shouldn’t have had the wisdom at their age to write something so profound.

[@terri2494]

[@urwishmydzyr]

I went to see this movie when it came out as a date night while in college. I only chose it because Robin was in it. By the time he shows up in it, I had forgotten he was in because the story had sucked me in. Ben and Matt wrote this film to give them a chance to act. I always forget that younger generations don't know Robin's more adult work. The movie you must see to really experience the genius of Robin Williams is Good Morning Vietnam. The legendary DJ scenes are completely improv, which is why the actors reactions are so authentic. The script only said DJ talk. Watching that movie and any Robin Williams Stand Up specials will let you understand how talented Robin Williams really was.

[@xzonia1]

Yes, and in this movie the scene where Robin in joking with Matt's character about his wife farting in her sleep was totally improved by him to get Matt laughing. Matt liked it so much, they left the scene in the movie. He was a phenomenal improv actor. :)

[@babybanchie7607]

Yup, this was one of the first dates for my wife and I in ‘97, we absolutely loved it. The other Robin Williams movie that is a must see is Dead Poet’s Society. Just showed it to my daughter today and she was bawling at the end.

[@lrsrosebud]

The first “serious” film I ever saw Robin Williams in was “The World According to Garp”. (Note to self…I really need to watch that again.)

How have you missed out on the great Matt Damon. The Bourne Trilogy, Elysium, The Talented Mr Ripley, The Martian, The Departed. All of which are fantastic films.

[@carriesmith742]

I just recentry saw a reaction to "Awakenings", which I totally forgot about. FANTASTIC movie!

[@johngravett4638]

For me, this is one of the best films I’ve seen. Every single character is played to perfection and the writing is excellent. As you said, Robin Williams is brilliant at delivering those heart felt lines with deep meaning. Even though I’ve seen this film many times, it still makes me emotional, when he finally breaks down the wall. This film deserved ever Oscar that it won.

[@ericthomson546]

I work in this field. The final emotional scene is called Transference. It's very risky but if done right...one of the most powerful healing tools in the therapist toolbox. Robin does it perfectly. The establishment of trust in his first encounter lays the foundation

[@BajaFL]

This movie is so good! Robin Williams is fantastic in it! You absolutely must add "The Dead Poet's Society" to your watch list. Robin is amazing in it as well. In fact, that movie is on a whole other level. Don't miss it.

[@TheGillenium]

@@x_mau9355​​⁠you missed the point of the movie. It’s not about genius diamonds in the rough …it’s about not being afraid of taking risks. And this can apply to anyone. That’s exactly why Affleck tells him “you’re sitting on a winning lottery ticket and you’re too much of a pussy to cash it in.” Damon merges that thought process with what he gained from Williams and takes the risk, not to go find a job, he knows he can get any job he wanted…but to find a true companion and true happiness.

[@teresagorden5984]

Ben and Matt are best friends in real life and no acting writing experience and no one take them seriously so they wrote their own parts in movie script. As very young and first timers and non pro they found Gus Vanzant to do their movie and they got Robin Williams who did part basically free as he was a well paid star. So Robin added or changed a couple lines and made the role his own. They all won Nominations at Oscar night including Robin best support actor award the script win the director and Matt and Ben big win for two young unknowns.. Btw The kid Ben was picking on played his brother in movie and in real life Casey Affleck is Ben's real brother and started all 3 careers. Was Great movie. I was always huge Robin Williams fan.

Robin Williams started out as a stand up comedian and playing an alien in Mork & Mindy, but has since been in tons of movies. I loved him in Awakenings, The Birdcage, Popeye, and Mrs. Doubtfire.

"Nanu Nanu"

I had a "Mork & Mindy" swimsuit and thermos when I was little. Despite being too young to understand the show, I absolutely fell in love with Robin Williams 😂

[@dylancole1910]

Awakenings is a brilliant movie.

[@Maximus21x]

Hook is another Robin Williams classic.

[@sailfishcoach]

Yes Birdcage!!!

5:44 The redheaded friend is played by Cole Hauser, who you’ve seen before in DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993) (also as a friend of Ben Affleck’s character), and possibly more recently as Rip Wheeler in the Paramount Network hit series Yellowstone (although his hair is dyed black for that show). Cole is actually the maternal great-grandson of one of the Warner Brothers, Harry Warner, who co-founded the film studio that bears the family name with his brothers Sam, Albert, and Jack.

- One of the film's end themes is "Miss Misery" by the late Elliott Smith (responsible for his cover of "Because", originally by the Beatles, heard at the end of American Beauty). - Also, the bar scene with Clark (the Vickers guy, portrayed by Scott William Winters) was reenacted / parodied in Jay & Strike Back. Speaking of which, Kevin Smith (aka Silent Bob himself) took up an executive producer credit for GWH.

Elliot Smith and Robin Williams, forever linked by this movie. Hard to even write this without feeling emotional.

[@remeorman]

Another fantastic reaction and a great choice! So glad that you enjoyed it as much as we did!

[@Mister_Samsonite]

This is a fantastic film that deals with some pretty heavy & uncomfortable issues, but Robin Williams really brought it home! He had this amazing gift of connecting with people by turning pain into humor. He won a much deserved Oscar for this, and will be forever missed. The Fisher King is another great Robin Williams movie.

[@terri2494]

I love The Fisher King!

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

And Hook.

[@Ydnic7481]

It's been years, and this movie still gets to me ❤

[@chasingbirds3073]

Great reaction! One of my favorite movies ever. Robin Williams has an amazing catalogue of movies, as does Matt Damon. You've gotta check out more of their movies. I recommend The Martian, and the entire Bourne series (Damon), and check out Dead Poet's Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, and The Bird Cage (Williams). You'll love them all.

[@kurtzbomb]

One of the best movies ever. Robin’s greatest role in my opinion.

[@joanmayfield4791]

A timeless film. A complicated simple story. So full of the character of the place and time.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

When someone leaves without a word, they call that "the Irish Goodbye". I pull the same move at parties and family picnics when I don't want to get held up for an hour telling everyone goodbye.

[@dudieb]

I am so astounded that these two young men came up with this story and of course you know Robin had to improvise some lines in that ingenious way he has. The Matt Damon movies you should watch are The Martian and the Jason Bourne movies starting with The Bourne Identity. One of the guys you may not have recognized was Casey Affleck Ben’s brother and Cole Hauser who was in Yellowstone.

[@atuuschaaw]

Remains in my top five movies of all time. Exceptional, and still gets me emotional after all this time. ♥

[@swordforjustice]

How do you like THEM apples??

[@susanjohnston8267]

My first introduction to Robin as a child was Mork and Mindy. From his zany antics, he had me hooked on his energy and bizarre outlook his character portrayed. From the Na Nooo Na Nooo, I drove my mum nuts using it at the end of my sentences. People from my generation grew up with him, watching him evolve from funny to deeply and darkly serious roles. I miss him greatly. And if he was still around, I often wonder if he would have ever been in well known films like Harry Potter as a teacher. He was a total other element with a beautiful empathy built in. And full of almost innocent child like humour that current comedians cannot match.

[@SoCalPatriot81]

AMAZING movie! that speech in the park on the bench was Unbelievable.

[@johnmavroudis2054]

This is such a great film. Robin Williams and Matt Damon are BRILLIANT. Since you loved this one... I've got some absolutely brilliant films to recommend. They all feature fantastic story / acting / direction / cinematography / special effects. Most are totally under the radar gems: ARRIVAL: Probably the greatest alien-invasion story of all... Realistic.. surprising ... beautifully told. CHILDREN OF MEN: The great director, Alfonso Cuaron knocks it out of the park with this near-future dystopian tale. You'll never forget it. GRAVITY: Another Cuaron film... this one starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in this epic space adventure. PLEASANTVILLE: Starts off a comedy, but quickly veers into a brilliant look at society. Really inventive. STRANGER THAN FICTION: Will Ferrell in a non-comedic role... He's funny in some parts, but this is the most underrated, wonderful little films I've ever seen. A host of excellent actors and a great story moves this along beautifully. You'll love these films... I'm sure about it. All the best!

[@Jskew]

Great reaction my fellow OKC's. Just so you know the whole "she used to fart in her sleep" was completely improvised which is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. It was real laughter. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

[@reality1958]

Danny Elfman also headed the very quirky and odd 80s band Oingo Boingo back in the day

[@mickymoist]

And it's follow up project simply titled Boingo...

[@robertmartin9029]

I think the problem Will had was that, deep down, he felt he did not deserve Skylar or the opportunities that the professor was dangling in front of him. He "knew" that sooner or later they would realize that he wasn't worth it and abandon him, so he pushed them away first. This is a very insidious thing to deal with as the more someone praises you and tells that you are good at something, the more you become convinced that they are wrong and sooner or later they will finally realize the "truth" and turn on you or abandon you. It will ruin the life of anyone who suffers from this condition as anything negative reinforces your belief while anything positive also gets turned around in your mind to be a negative.

[@acelcruz222]

I forgot how great this film is, another one of my favorites with Minnie Driver with a great soundtrack is "Grosse Point Blank"!!!

[@marielguzman8246]

One of my faves! I'm so glad you liked it! I love the fact that both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were 22 and 20 respectively and won the Oscar for Best Original Script, and also Robbie Williams finally won his Oscar! Until this day one of their best work!

[@nsasupporter7557]

Matt Damon was nominated for best actor but lost out to Jack Nicholson for “As Good as it Gets.” Which was a good movie also, but unfortunately it didn’t age well
