Good Will Hunting (1997) ♥Movie Reaction♥ First Time Watching!

Hiya! So today I'm reacting to Good Will Hunting (currently Number 81 on IMDb's chart of 250 Greatest Movies of All Time). After this video, however, I will mostly be using suggestions found in the comments instead of choosing from a list at random. I appreciate the support you've shown by viewing my past videos and/or this one. Thank you for watching!

The fart story scene was completely improvised by robin williams and the laughter by matt damon was genuine. In fact, you may notice the camera was shaking a bit because the cameraman and crew were breaking up with laughter. The director liked it so much, he kept the scene in the film.

[@rockero1313]

the "son of a bitch stole my line" at the end was also improvised by Williams. he was just brilliant

[@sonnysumo8172]

This movie gets me everytime. Robin Williams absolutely crushes it in this role. Every speech he gives feels like being directed right at you as well as Will Hunting. Excellent pick.

Having had a toxic mother and on a path towards a very destructive life, I had a handful of extremely supportive educators help me find my positive direction. This movie along with “Stand and Deliver” solidified who I am now. Seven years from now I’ll be retiring from a successful career in IT and am planning to get my teaching certification to be a middle school science teacher and hopefully pay back society for what those wonderful educators did for me. There is hope in everyone!

I gotchu on the math. The first problem was about walks on graphs, more or less a routine problem in linear algebra. The second problem was also about graphs, determining how many different graphs are equivalent to a given one of a certain shape. That one’s not too hard either. The third problem you asked about is a bit harder, and it’s about finding a formula for the number of ways to color the vertices on that Triforce-looking shape such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. Although they’re not super-hard or particularly deep problems, they are also not trivial exercises, they are real, and they do look nice on film when you present the shapes and equations for the audience. Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite movies of all time!

I pretty much figured as this. As a software engineer, I'm aware that most computer languages look complicated to those who don't understand it, when in reality, it's not all that difficult, it just takes a logical mind to understand. I know mathematics is the same. It's ironic, I can write algorithms in several computer languages, but not so much in mathematics languages.

[@matthew55793]

The math is real, but it's not what they presented it as. They presented a lot of it as something that a serious mathematician would really look deeply at, something that would be meaningful because of its insight, and while they could have used stuff like that they didn't. Nothing in this movie is nothing more than high-level busywork.

[@eliteteamkiller319]

@@matthew55793 Eh, the linear algebra stuff, you're right, because hundreds of students would learn that, but some of that is upper division undergrad stuff. Which makes sense narratively. I mean my school had just one undergrad combinatorics class. It's niche stuff, IMHO. Certainly not profound, but that's like 20 kids out of tens of thousands that would come across that stuff in most universities.

[@orangeandblackattack]

Very well put. I got a headache trying to recall my college finite math, etc..and they are real problems. There was just so much rust on my brain it took days to get through the first 2, a month to get thru the 3rd. lol. I entered the banking/finance field where none of this was applicable at Charles Schwab. lol. But it was worth the revisit just to see if I could work thru it. Common core has ruined students minds ( the smart ones). Forcing the top of the class to come down to the idiot level with dots and diagrams when all you need to do is carry a digit to the next column. This is why the avg IQ has dropped 9 points in 30 years. We were taught to learn how to think on our own in the 80s...now they tell them WHAT to think based on 1% of weirdos in this country. Its a shame.

This movie won two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor for Robin Williams and Best Original Screenplay for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. It was their first ever screenplay.

It is just the #1 movie on IMDB Top 250 list.

You’re definitely one of the more insightful reactors I’ve watched. A lot of folks just very superficially give their take on the movie, no real analysis, no real examination of themes, no real discussion about the film’s place in culture. What really makes reactions transformative is what it makes you think and feel, not the big pops when something dramatic happens. Keep it up, I’m really looking forward to what you do next.

[@charlesianima]

I grew up with the same type of childhood. I'm 32 years old and I've been and still am healing from it all. If you did not grow up with an abusive / alcoholic environment it's nearly impossible to understand the amount of issues you get downloaded onto you. Everyone basically thinks you're crazy, you get called many names, etc. You learn to lie to protect yourself from an early age even to doctors, "I fell down the stairs and there was a knife at the bottom..." type of lies. It's rough to trust anyone after abuse and lies start early from your "guardians". When there's no one else to take care of you, and you don't believe that any adult wants to actually help you out... you have to do whatever it takes to survive. This movie really helped me not feel alone growing up and really helped me grasp that only I was in the way of a better future for myself.

[@kenfreeman8888]

It's cool that you recognized how Will and Sean helped each other. I also appreciate that Sean and Professor Lambeau were both trying to help Will. They just had different approaches to helping him. The writing, acting, direction and music in this movie are all top notch. Great reaction. Thank you for this.

I said it in my head right before you said it, and even though I’ve seen this film at least a couple dozen times, I never quite articulated it that way in my mind, even though it’s kind of abundantly clear, looking back. It really is the perfect way to describe them. They sincerely needed one another to push through the difficult crossroads in their respective lives. Brilliantly written.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

They exist, people just don't know where to look. I've mostly abandoned Hollywood but they still surprise me sometimes. But they exist out there, somewhere. Sometimes as a short TV series, or film that flies under most people's radar or films people avoided because they believed they wouldn't of liked them. When I mean you have to look outside of Hollywood. I mean video games are a good example with some of the best stories the last twenty years, or film/TV markets like Japan's animated film industry which has produced some of the best films of our generation. That being said, not everything is about story telling either. Presentation matters as well. Perfect blend of atmosphere, music, dialogue, camera work. Even if one element is missing it can completely destroy a scene. I mean it is what makes a movie vs just a short story you've read. You can take the best story ever written and still make a bad movie of it even if you have every ounce that story present.

@@Berg126 the % is about the same actually, but they’re not marketed the same anymore because the big franchise movies are what make money. Good Will Hunting, if made today wouldn’t probably even crack the top 25 but back then was in the top 10 box office movies. I don’t blame Hollywood, I blame audiences. Hollywood is a business after all and they have to make money. Audiences spoke with their wallets unfortunately.

@@ziggystardog Moreover recommendations tend to come with a synopsis even a short one which may not spoil the movie but give some clue of what it's about And they are often prompted by the movie being reacted to because they're in some way similar or related (Eg green mile always gets recommended on a Shawshank reaction)

[@fernandohinojosa3211]

The only problem is that list is quite questionable, it has many obligatory classics but it is clear that genres such as thriller and drama predominate considerably over horror or romance. And any fan of movies knows that in a top of inevitable classics there must be everything. The small amount of foreign cinema is also sad. Recommendations can go both ways, repeat the same movies that people ask for or react to other things.

[@6666Imperator]

fun fact: something similar actually happened in reality where a guy had a tendency to get late to class. One time he was very late so he only got the homework which he wrote from the board. Went home and tried solving it but couldn't and he couldn't ask the professor about it because he didn't want to get called out for missing the lecture. So in the end he solved it and gave the prof his book. He thought he might be too late but apperently he just solved one of the unsolvable math questions and mostly because no one told him that it couldn't be solved :D

[@ianchristmas]

I lived like him for a long time. Therapy was a long process. What people without near perfect recall do not realize is that you recall trauma perfectly. I'm in my 40's and I can remember things from when I was under 4. I remember my potty training, because my Dad used the fear method. Also, it's really bad for relationships when you can recall entire conversations. My exes really hated me being able to describe not just the words, but the clothing we both were wearing. The dog doesn't have those issues.

[@Biomirth]

I watch a lot of reactions of this movie as it is one of my favorites. Beware copyright strikes for music, the NSA scene monologue, and any of the full monologues, FYI. Many people end up having to cut those. I enjoyed your reaction and I find it really elucidating to see someone react who doesn't have a strong understanding of Will's inherent distrust of everyone. You're in the majority I'm sure, but it's refreshing to see how it looks like from that side; The frustration with his self-sabotage and irritation that he just can't make anything of his talents. It's like you understand on paper, but not internally what it's like to be that broken. I found that refreshing and interesting.

Good reaction. And per a comment you made around the 14:58 minute mark, that's incorrect...caller ID was already widely available on almost ALL land-line phones back in 1997, since it came out years before in the early 1990s. At first in the early 1990s caller IDs were a separate small device given to you by the phone company to attach to your home phones. But then within months, the push button wireless land-line phones came with the caller-ID feature already built-in, whereby the names and phone numbers were displayed on the phone's screen. I was a teen in the 1990s and remember this very distinctly.

Great reaction to Good Will Hunting. You are doing such a wonderful job with your reactions so far, you come across as very charming, honest and connected. Such great performances in GWH and such a mature, perceptive script, especially for two such young men. At the time I was always dreading some story discrediting their screenplay as ghostwritten by someone else, but it never happened, thankfully. Seconding, Dead Poets Society (1989) another of Robin's best performances and a very literate and realistic drama.

Great reaction! I love Williams in this one. He's rightfully loved as a comedic actor, but this is one of those memorable dramatic performances he had that really showed his range and depth of feeling. An absolutely unforgettable performance. I appreciate how much you're getting invested in these movies and are taking the time to look at them analytically as well as emoting to what you see (though that's great too). Not every reactor is as mindful about character motivations and theming as that. I hope you keep it up. Tell your cat I also appreciate them and their vigilance in guarding the wall socket. I support doing random IMDb picks because it can be fun and a good way to start, but whenever you feel comfortable doing so I would still suggest looking for other sources of recommendations. That list has a lot of great movies but is also fairly flawed with a lot of recency bias and weighs votes in a way that a lot of major blockbusters that (while decent movies) maybe shouldn't be on it are there. It tends to over-prioritize American films as well since a disproportionate number of people rating films will be American. 20 of the top 100 are non-English language. Over half the movies in the top 100 came out after 1990 and about a third since 2000, in a medium about 120 years old. To be clear, the movies that are on that list that I've seen are generally good movies and are worth watching, and ultimately you will probably enjoy watching them, but there's also a lot you'll miss out on if you strictly stick to that list long-term. At some point if you feel up to it I would suggest looking up some critics' top film lists, or perhaps things like Oscar nominated films of the past or the AFI (American Film Institute) lists (though the latter also is strictly American cinema by definition), etc. etc. To be clear I'm not saying this is something you need to think about right now, but If you eventually decide that film is a medium you really like and want to explore deeply, this will probably be something you'll want to do at some point.

[@stevieb3077]

I really enjoyed your reaction to "Good Will Hunting" and I appreciate your lengthy and thoughtful analysis at the end. Your ability to analyze situations and cogently communicate your thoughts demonstrate a maturity that is beyond your years. I happily hit the subscribe button. My only suggestion is to be open to films that don't end happily ever after. Hollywood endings (aka happy endings) tend to be an aspect of formulaic films where one can predict how things will wrap up mere minutes into a viewing. When you mentioned being bothered by unhappy endings, even the next day, it's because a film has stuck with you and has challenged your sensibilities. Nothing wrong with that. One other note, I was glad to see how you picked up on the deep friendships of the guys despite the often rough way they communicated with one another. As a guy who grew up in Massachusetts during the time the film was set, I know how insulting friends, strangely enough, is often a sign of affection that can't otherwise be spoken. For example, when Will said the vehicle he had been gifted was the ugliest car he had ever seen, his friends understood immediately that he both liked the car and appreciated their thoughtfulness. For me, it was one of the most touching scenes in the film.

[@dracoargentum9783]

I don't know if while looking at the credits you noticed, that the comradeship with the friends was there because the talkative friend was Ben Afflak's brother. Fun Fact: The scene where Williams is telling the wife farting story, if you look carefully, you can see the edges of all shots slightly wobble throughout the scene. This is because William's got EVERYONE on the set laughing so hard, both cameramen couldn't hold their cameras steady.

Another great reaction. I just looked at the list and I understand why you are picking movies from it, but it is just opinions. So what matters most is what you personally think of the movie. Out of the movies on the list, I would recommend "To Kill a Mockingbird". It is an older movie but is very important historically. It also has a great script, great acting, and was a protest against racism at a time when racism was rampant. It is Black and White but I'm sure you would enjoy it. Keep up the good work.

One of the important messages of this movie that many miss is what Robin Williams' character was trying to say to the math professor: Talented people who pursue that talent but aren't passionate or excited about it end up discontented and unfulfilled. It's better to "waste" your talent than to waste your life.

Because everything is interconnected: two of the first people to read this script were producer/director Rob Reiner (who ended up buying the initial rights) and his friend, writer William Goldman. Goldman is best known for his novel THE PRINCESS BRIDE, which Reiner turned into a still-beloved (and still heavily--memed) movie in 1987 that's the go-to for people who need a cinematic happy ending.

😎👍 You mentioned at the beginning that you enjoy musicals, so I'm going to assume that "Aladdin" isn't the only Disney animated feature you've seen. If it's of interest, the actress who played Matt Damon's girlfriend in this (Minnie Driver) was also the voice of Jane in "Tarzan" (1999). If you like "Mama Mia," then three other musicals you might enjoy are "Annie" (1982), "Evita" (1996) and "Chicago" (2002). The reason I picked those three is because like "Mama Mia," they all consist entirely of music composed in the 1970s. 🎵

The "hard" problem that was written on the blackboard in the hall for students to figure out is this " homeomorphically irreducible trees of size n=10" Basically you draw 10 dots and connect them without using homeomorphic or irreducible problems in the form of trees. There are 10 ways to solve that problem and the one Matts character uses is a correct 1-10.

It's 11:23 pm here. I wanted to go to bed before midnight, but then I saw this video posted. Oh well, I known what my priorities are. I guess I won't be going to bed after all. BTW, GTW is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@russellwood8750]

You asked a question if the mathematics was real yes it is real. Although it is not as difficult as they portray it to be in the film.

One of the primary reasons young women get themselves into trouble is that they see any conflict or simple assertion as rude, so they go along so as not to be rode. Guard against that, young woman.

[@Fez135]

I love the relationship between Will and his friends in this movie. Busting balls all the time but you know deep down that they'd go to war for each other. There are few better relationships a man can have.

[@torbnymublous4403]

Hey there still running your numbers for future reference. Then during your studio ratings I thought I should mention you'll definitely be needing some shelving (fans love to send collectables) you can pick up a good shelf and brackets for about 30$ at home depot. But not till you get a p.o. box 😏 I'll be interested in seeing your first unboxing guaranteed that will be at least an 1.25hr video. 👍

I always wanted to come back with epic quips in dangerous conflicts. It took me 6 decades to hone the skill, which is a matter of transforming fear into something altogether different. It's called surrender. It's called unconditional love. Also don't go looking for fights.

[@gregc6107]

As a huge movie lover i'll give you 5 movies you'll love the martian (with matt damon), the matrix (keanu reeves), jurassic park (it's a must see), terminator 2 ( i know you'll see this soon it's what all action movies compare themselves too), and fight club (because someone else mentioned it and it's great)

[@mil2k11]

One of my very favorite Robin Williams' performances. RIP

[@Tehui1974]

Nice reaction. I've loved this movie from the very first time I watched it in the late 90s. The movie has stood the test of time.

Yellowstone fans... the 4th guy in the car is Cole Hauser.

Rip is the man!

Thanks for the nice reaction, to a movie i had on my list for ages, but never watched until today. KZbin poped your react up random and i liked it. So keep on going the way you did with this, because i liked it a lot. Greetings from Germany.

[@obenohnebohne]

Thank you for sharing your reaction to this beautiful movie. I had a great time with it. Since you asked for recommendations: The Green Mile (#79), The Shawshank Redemption (#2), Dances With Wolves (#59), Schindler’s List (#3). And there is so many great movies out there, I am sure you will have a great time by watching all of them.

[@oz30ification]

Glad I found your channel, your breakdown after edit is brilliant I really enjoy it. I can't wait to see your journey, I'm here for it!

[@williamswiniuch7527]

Fun fact the two friends always bickering are real life brothers

[@mwflanagan1]

Another great review, Whimsory. You’ve found something that (in your viewers’ opinion) at which you’re good and entertaining. Now to watch your subscribership skyrocket. Thanks.

[@agarven1]

Stelan is an amazing actor. I seen this movie at the theater with my dad. It is one of my favorite movies and still to this day. At the end of the movie when Robin Williams says that son of a b*tch stole my line. That was improvised by Robin. They kept it in the movie. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote this film. Robin got an academy award for this film. Matt Damon and Ben Afflack got an academy award for writing this film too

[@doug3691]

Enjoying this channel so much I had to go back for this one.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

Theres no kind of sad like Robin Williams sad. It just punches you right in the heart.

[@mahliz]

"Does this violate the patient doctor relationship? Only if you tuch grab my ass" Meanwhile we have a kitty cleaning itself behind its back legs. Perfect timing. Ty for another amazing reaction. It did make my day better! I would say Will is more afraid that she will be dissapointing in him then him get dissapointed in her. Like Robin williams character said, he wants to leave before they leave him, hurt them before they could hurt him. The thing that makes us be frustradet with Will for me is that he is so real, not all movie characters feels real and genuin. I agree with you on the bench part, that is a fantastic scene.

[@klors]

You really took me back to how I felt watching this movie for the first time, way back then. Thanks ❤

[@Bareego]

What I really like, is that you react to what's happening and not so much commenting on technical details that some other reaction people do.

[@devastatedbaby]

"The Awakening" is also top movie that makes you be grateful of life itself. Robin Williams in it

[@mrp8811]

Will is not rude. He is misunderstood. Every single time people try to belittle him but when Will talks back he is the one perceived with the attitude.

[@DevInvest]

If you love Robin Williams, His big break was as “Mork” on the 70’s sitcom “Mork & Mindy” Check it out if you haven’t. I met Mr Williams several times. He was indeed a very lovesble kind person, but he had a viscous current events comedy side as well not just “Mork”, most comedians have very high IQ’s - He did love making everyone smile the few times I was fortunate enough to be around

[@Enrique-Garcia]

Will wasn't rude. He's just from Southie.

[@chrisbooth478]

They won the Academy Award that year for best Screenplay!

[@jn-zr2ki]

your in-the-moment reactions are entertaining but your reviews at the end are what will keep me coming back. nice channel

[@TheRubberDuck77]

Whimsory: So he's like super smart Everyone who's seen it before: No, my boy's wicked smaht!

[@knockoutking3764]

I had a rough day at work, but watching you cheers me up! I can't stop smiling ☺️ 🙂
