Good Will Hunting

I remember watching this years ago. Was talking to a friend recently and he reminded me of this movie. So I purchased it and am pleased that I did. A good movie to have in my collection.

Good movie

Picked up the Good Will Hunting 15th Anniversary Blu-ray and it’s easily one of the best upgrades for the collection. The picture quality looks clean and sharp, and the audio really brings out those emotional moments. This movie never gets old—great performances, powerful writing, and it still hits just as hard as the first time I watched it. If you’re a fan, this edition is 100% worth owning.

A classic movie with amazing acting, and a star studded cast. This has been a favorite of mine for years, though It’s not for younger audiences.

Absolutely fantastic movie. Plays great. Zero issues. A must have for your movie collection.

Gus Van Sant’s 1997 film, “Good Will Hunting,” adapts the screenplay by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, starring Damon as Will Hunting, a 20-year-old boy genius working as a janitor at MIT who comes to the attention of a prestigious mathematics professor, Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård). Will runs with a crowd from South Boston including Chuckie Sullivan (Ben Affleck), Morgan O’Mally (Casey Affleck), and Cole Hauser (Billy McBride), all of whom are just getting by in life. At the same time, Will meeting Skylar (Minnie Driver), a bright young woman at Harvard. Due to Will’s rough-and-tumble life, he must attend court-mandated therapy as part of the parole agreement Professor Lambeau arranged. He ends up working with Dr. Sean Maguire (Robin Williams), another South Boston native who understands Will’s tough upbringing. The film balances Will’s budding relationship, his mathematics studies, and his psychotherapy sessions. It’s a clever film that makes the most of the class differences in Boston between the working-class locals and those attending the prestigious colleges and universities. Robin Williams gives an amazing performance while Damon and Skarsgård similarly work well together. The film’s massive success and place in the zeitgeist guaranteed parody, which Affleck and Damon themselves did in Kevin Smith’s 2001 film, “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.” It’s particularly clever in its references to historiography, psychology, and mathematics. For example, I never noticed how well-written the debate of Gordon Wood’s historical analysis was until I had finished my own graduate studies. Bonus features on this Blu-ray include a 4-part retrospective, audio commentary from director Van Sant and writers Affleck & Damon, 11 deleted scenes with commentary, a production featurette, the Best Picture montage from the Academy Awards, a music video for “Miss Misery,” behind-the-scenes footage, and the theatrical trailer. All around, it’s a good way to add the film to one’s home movie collection with a great collection of bonus features.

Not as good as I remembered.
