I was lucky enough to meet him once, I just wish that I had more time to actually talk to Robin. Dude was a national treasure, I dont think anyone with any common sense would ever argue with me on that.

      @pescaruraduvlad ปีที่แล้ว +18

      ​@Kjthelife I doubt that he was thinking about the micro expressions while recording this scene. It is all about Robin's gift of feeling. Of being there, of living the story and let his own soul suffer like his character did. When I look at him I see true pain, anguish, happiness, enthusiasm and those all can't be faked by micro expressions. You need to be willing to expose your soul to all those feelings and then let it speak about the experience. That's a true actor for me.

      There is love so pure. My wife passed away not 15 months ago, and to have felt, and lost, that love as Robin Williams describes it, is beyond common understanding. To have someone in your life, that you would go through fire and flames for just to see them smile. And that smile would turn away the darkest skies and make the sun shine. Love so powerful, that it could make your day, if you saw them being happy. And who would even give you a smile, when their day was bad. Being each other's angels, and make the rest of the world "disappear", when you saw into their eyes. Don't give up on love, because it really is out there.

    This scene is obviously Robin's moment and clearly the scene that earned him his long overdue deserved Oscar. But, what Damon does toward the end of the monologue when Robin has cut through all his defenses to get to the heart of the matter arriving at this moment of truth heightened reality moment has always gripped me. Matt is doing very minimalist acting giving Robin all the space he needs to cook which he does and is, but then those precise specific moments where Damon maintains his poker face, but his side-eying begins here indicating to us the exact moment in time Robin's character had broken through Will's bullet proof armour and for the first time Will hopelessly attempting to maintain his facade, but desperately trying to read this unlikeliest of sage's face and mannerisms for some sort of hint or clue in how to deal with him, but literally left in a state of discombobulated confusion grasping for a way to process a meriad of emotions bombarding him not the least of which is he has no muscle memory of life experience to draw from in how to handle a situation where he inexplicably he has been outmatched, out played, out psyched by some one he now knows he respects, has hurt, totally misread, but completely has his number and calling him out point after point like some lightening round of This Is Your Life of the Damned. But, most of all, that worst creeping up feeling that all cynics and the jaded have to confront sooner or later if they're lucky: when someone does come along who suddenly does care, is a difference maker, the game changer, but all you know is pain and betrayal and putting up walls as a result so how do you relearn a lifetime of trauma to even begin to trust that gift of help or believe and let into your brutalized soul hope? Its all there in those frantic, darting eyes lost at sea flaling for a life preserver or what to do. Its revieting and a masterclass of minimist acting while giving your scene partner everything they need. These two made movie magic together. Matt got that opportunity. Ben had no scenes with Robin and never got to gave that chance. Nobody ever in the twenty five plus years has ever asked Ben that publicly and I've always wondered how he feels about that.

    We don't seem to have that kind of writing in movies or series anymore. But, then again, we don't seem to have those kinds of actors like Robin Williams in movies or series anymore.

      May I try to change your mind? I recommend Mass (2021). It's mostly four people talking in an almost empty room. Nothing to carry the film except its excellent script (that, dare I say, rivals Good Will Huntings') and the actors' acting skills.

    You can see the moment it stops becoming acting when robin Williams states the phrase " i see a cocky scared shitless kid" in his eyes! his eyelids drop maybe 1-3 centimeters and the light disappears, but you see the difference between intelligence vs experience! Amazing beautiful acting that shows the depth and honesty between existence itself. you can see the actors weren't just acting but in their own eyes and heart they understood it was so much deeper than what would be explained!

    As I have looked back on the many successes of Robin, I see someone as grounded and desirous of showing the human spirit. That is a very special talent that few bring to the screen. This monologue exemplifies the talent of Robin and his extraordinary work. It’s sad he’s gone, RHIP.

    We all yearn for a mentor like this. Even really hard case dysfunctional kids or criminals or whatever - everyone putting on a tough act and being destructive to themselves and others, just crying out for such a mentor. Unfortunately though, oftentimes even when confronted with such a mentor as Sean here, some people would be so damaged, they would be incapable of recognising the wisdom Sean is imparting and might even just interrupt him and say "F off". Some people get so lost they can't even hear wisdom being gifted to them.

      It’s true. There are so many young men out there with absolutely no guidance. No rite of passage. No fatherly figures at all. And then we wonder why depression, suicide, drug abuse, and general mental illness are on the rise amongst young men. We need guys like Robin Williams’ character

    I loved this man & I miss him every day. He was so good in this film, he turned a very predictable story into an unforgettable moment in cinema history. Robin Williams was remarkably without the ego that far too many " actors " have. And here, in a key moment, he is both therapist, & friend to a troubled kid . And in the process, Will begins to see Sean as someone he can & must, listen to, for once in his life. Legendary scene. -----MJL, 77 y/o

    Just finished watch Good Will hunting again to go down memorie lane when I watch this movie when I was 19 years old back in 97 and it still hits me emotionally and mentally especially when Will was crying in Seans arms in his office for a therapy session over Wills violent upbringing as a boy. Telling 6 times it's not his fault and then emotionally crys it hits me hard inside that Will needed that Male Role Model for guidance and inspiration for a better life. 💪❤ WILL POWER

      I think that lesson of male bonding is so important. Hollywood tries to emulate it, but often falls short. Men are deeply emotional and those bonds they establish early in life make them the men they are. The importance of mentorship can’t be underestimated.

    Hard to describe in words but in a few it would be if you truly care for someone you need to tell them the truth even if it hurts, we are human and only our mistakes can truly learn us. Then again the meaning seems to change with every rewatch and i think thats whats so beautiful about this scene and film, it feels like its already taught me so many lessons. God rest Robbie Williams you really put everything into this.

    One of Robin William's finest performances. But I think Matt Damon was good too, seeing the change in him from defensive defiance to realizing the truth of what he was hearing, and the arrow hit home, and he was silent. But you can feel the intense emotion in the silence.

    I watched this movie for 1st time the other day. Someone said it was good & I knew nothing about it’s content/production/background etc. Honest to god, i was rendered speechless, in tears & completely blown away when this monologue came up.
    I love RW anyway, but this showed what a truly gifted performer he was. Flawless at comedy (obvs) but my word he could do deep, serious & emotional to a special level when he needed to. Up there with the greats in my opinion. In fact just Googled it and he’s #16 on IMDb greatest actress ever list. Well deserved in my opinion. Miss him a lot

    And to think the man sitting next to him on that bench, the one he was talking to, was, at the time, a 27-year-old man who co-wrote that brilliant screenplay with his costar and friend. That said, there are certain monologues, especially those out of Robin's mouth, that are so heartfelt and brilliant, that they can make you think, "Was this in the script or is this coming from him?"

    I keep playing this scene over and over again, because personally it's one of the most heart felt scenes in cinema. I can easily put myself in both characters shoes and relate. It's sad that we as people most of the time can't relate to one another on this level because of social stigmas. Considered weak if you open yourself to this level of vulnerability.
