A lot of people think Prof Lambeau is a villain, but he truly believes that Will can be great and explains that greatness requires focus (notably he has no family). Will has 3 choices: stay comfortable with his friends, reach for greatness like Lambeau, or try something completely new (Skylar). Robin Williams' therapist is the mirror forcing Will to choose one.
He’s the closest thing there is to a villain in this movie. But he realistically just wants will to succeed because of what it could mean for the world, but doesn’t really give a shit about the guy himself. That makes him a Dick but not your typical “villain”. Like the scene at the end when he’s arguing w robin williams and will walks in, he’s actually just the other parent that you always hear when your parents are arguing about you. It makes him a fascinating character to me
@@boppityboopy114 Whether you like Prof Lambeau depends on how you define "success." To most of us that means a balance between work, family, and friends, so most viewers judge him harshly because we're nothing like him, but then again none of us will ever win a Nobel Prize or Fields Medal or change the world. The people who do those things tend to be single-minded and monomanical because that's what it takes, so what he's showing Will is the offer, and price, of greatness.
I wouldn’t call him a villain due to the image that word generates, but he’s not a good guy. Will’s gift is his and his alone. He doesn’t owe anything to anybody else. Phrases such as “make the world a better place,” or “for the greater good” have been used for centuries to manipulate and use people. Professor Lambeau is the embodiment of the phrase “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
The wife farting story was improvised by the great Robin Williams. The laughter by Damon was genuine and it had the entire film crew laughing. You might notice the camera shaking a bit because the cameraman was trying to keep from cracking up. The director had no choice but to keep the scene in the film. So great.
That's because you think so and want to interpret it as such. Maybe they hate it but you forced them enough times that now they are used to it and their spirit is broken. Sorta like slavery.
Just like huskies. They LOVE to run and work out. For example pull sleds. People forget that not all dogs are lap dogs. Some NEED AND LOVE to work hard. Keeping a husky, greyhound or german sheperd inside all the time is cruelty.
My second favorite movie of all time. The writing is just amazing, it feels real but inspiring at the same time. I also love how deals with how men struggle mentally, something you don't see very often in the open like that and i love how the group of friend love each other as brothers and even more than Will finds the father figure he not only needed but deep down wanted.
Both Sean and the professor wanted what’s best for Will. They just went about it in different ways. The professor knew he was nothing compared to Will. He wanted him to see what was out there or would have given him a job. He really didn’t stand to gain anything from will’s genius.
Stellan Skarsgard doesn't get enough credit as a great actor. He had done a few good American produced films at the time but was known for leads in Scandinavian films.
Some people mistakenly see the professor as an antagonist, but he isn’t. Gerald can be seen like a father who wants what’s best for Will professionally. Wheras Sean is like a nurturing mother, who wants what’s best for Will emotionally. I think both are important.

@@charlize1253 It's just a great movie that teaches people about intelligence. Just because someone is a super genius at mathematics, doesn't mean they're intelligent in all facets of life like emotional intelligence or street smart. Prof Lambeau was great, but he wasn't what Will needed. Will didn't need guidance for mathematics, he needed guidance for his emotions and life. Once that was sorted he could do the rest on his own completely fine.

I grew up before the internet. Believe me, if you have a phone today then there is no such thing as lack of education. I've learned a thousand times more than I did back in school. Even learned corrections for some of the wrong things I learned in school. Information has never been more abundant in history than it is right now.
Top 5 movie of all time. Really hard to capture and replicate real life scenarios and conversations in film but they did it perfectly here. Everything feels real, and it cuts so much deeper because of it!
Honestly I love the reaction. The only real negative was you didn't understand that the other professor was not a villain. He loved will but he thought he needed pushed. Like he was. He never wanted bad things for him. I was like you. My first reaction was not for Gerald. After multiple watches I love both professors. What a legendary film. Thanks for the reaction

I saw this shortly after it first came out, and your reaction made me realize something: Chuckie's speech at the end and the professor are both telling Will the same thing from different directions. Chuckie will never rise above a blue collar living. The professor will never achieve anything beyond his Fields medal. They both look at Will and see someone slumming below a glass ceiling that they can never hope to break, and they resent it because they both have to work so hard to not lose what they do have.
Matt Damon and Minnie Driver were going out during this movie. The scenes with the two of them were so heartfelt and then Matt broke up with her after the movie was released. Powerful performance from all.
Nope. The other guy actually genuinely cares for Will. It wasn't selfish. He just has a different approach at helping compared to Robin Williams's character. A lot of people often make that mistake about Skarsgard's character.
Just an FYI, game #6 of the '75 world series is widely considered to be the greatest game of baseball ever played. For Robin William's character to have missed this particular game to talk to some girl in a bar makes that girl a HUGE deal.
Love this movie and your reaction. While watching this i realized that I've been watching your content for a really long time. I found you before you changed your channel name to Alyska. Congratulation on being relevant for so long. Your content is always top notch.
I really enjoyed your reaction. One of my all time favorite movies. I grew up in Boston so I can relate to some of the growing up issues Will encountered early in his life, and his relationship with his friends. Robin Williams role in the movie is an example of how an actor can carry a scene, he's pure genius. Glad you enjoyed it, looking forward to more of your reviews.
If you love Robin Williams, three films that really exemplify his abilities are "Patch Adams", "What Dreams May Come", and "Dead Poets Society". The one time I was in Boston I went to see where they filmed the park scene, and people had written quotes from the film on the walkway in front of it. It truly was awesome being there and seeing that.
The breakup scene, was displaying what Robin Williams was talking about he's got issues an she accidentally triggered his, which let to his outburst at the doc, showing the doc that Robin was right. he needs help not pushing
It's fascinating to see how many modern react-ers go into this not knowing that Matt and Ben wrote the script, because I remember so much of the marketing and press for this movie being that story, that these two best friends worked on this script for years while working as up-and-coming actors until they finally had enough pull to get the script in front of the right people. And the writing is so great that it definitely doesn't feel like something thrown together by a couple of actors trying to give themselves starring roles in a movie, so I feel like their Academy Award was so well deserved (and I love their energy during their acceptance speech). Matt also really earned his acting nomination, and Robin truly earned his Oscar with this legit award-winning performance (where he even ad-libbed the last line of the movie).
@ThePensive8 I feel that some reactors focus too much on the presentation of reacting over actually genuinely reacting which puts layer between them and what they are watching. It's a thin line to wrestle with and she was not successful to me on this onr.
I haven’t watched a reaction of yours in a while. Haven’t been reacting to my “type” of media. Real happy to see this, since you’re one of my favorite reactors.
Another VERY good movie that includes one of those weird friendships of people who are completely different but they went to school together is "Sideways". I bet you would love it.
Good Will Hunting is a powerful film. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, took home Best Original Screenplay for newcomers Damon and Affleck, and Best Supporting Actor for Robin Williams.
you should definitely watch "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" there is a great joke about Good Will Hunting 2 you just have to see to believe. It's mainly because Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are good friends with Kevin Smith another great movie you should watch of there's is "Dogma" one of my top 10 favorite movies you'll love it
Excellent choice. One of my favorites. I must offer a few recommendations (if you haven’t seen them already,) that you will like and should get substantial views… -Braveheart -A Few Good Men -Scott Pilgrim vs the World -True Romance -Boondock Saints -Edge of Tomorrow -Fight Club -Tombstone
Great Reaction..... I find it Kool that in this movie, Matt Damon wears a (Shelby) Cobra Jacket, and 18 years later he plays Carrol Shelby in "Ford Vs Ferrari"..... Robin Williams improvised so many lines/dialoge....
This was absolutely fantastic and sad movie. RIP Robin Williams we all love you and missed you so much 🙏🕊️❤ He was so incredible and spectacular in this movie!
Matt Damon and Robin Williams won their only Oscars with this movie, and Ben Affleck won his first of two. Ben Affleck also won another for Argo. Casey Affleck, Ben's brother, won the Best Actor Oscar for Manchester By the Sea, produced by Matt Damon. Minnie Driver was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for this, as well.
Although Robin Williams was a great comedian, I actually like his dramatic acting even more. This was probably his best performance. Will is the main character, but Shawn kind of steals the show.
Lambeau is not a bad guy in this film. Insensitive and ignorant, yes, but he want's the best for Will too in his own way and i think Shawn understands that which is why he goes out for the drink with him in the end. From Lambeau's perspective this is a guy who is smart enough to have anything he wants, Will's smarts surpass anyone he has ever worked with or will ever work with and he is unable to understand the human side of it.
The right academic degree is worth it. You need them for engineering, medicine, climatology, etc. Or journalism, political science, or creative writing. I think too many people went to school and didn’t have a real idea of what they wanted.
I've never seen someone react to this movie and not get emotional. I think you were too busy analyzing things in your own head rather than listening to what Sean was saying to will. He definitely going to try not to dissect and analyze the film while the characters are delivering some of the best monologues ever
So Matt Damon is currently working with the city of Boston to get a bronze statue of Robin Williams on the exact same bench in the exact same park from this scene to not only honor Robin but for people who do visit and sit on that bench so they can feel like they’re actually talking to Robin.
Having grown up with abuse this movie is perfectly written. Its extremely difficult to break out of that and allow yourself to be vulnerable to another person. The fear and anxiety to be rejected is amplified to an extreme level. It's pretty obvious you have no idea what that's like.
Great reaction to this beautifully performed and written film. Thanks so much for sharing your reaction with us. Without Kevin Smith becoming a producer on the film Good Will Hunting, no studio wanted either Matt Damon nor Ben Affleck in the lead roles. Even though they had both written the screenplay, the studios considered them to be unknowns. Kevin Smith, thankfully, convinced them otherwise. Please watch Clerks.(1994) Written/Directed/Starring Kevin Smith
I want to give you a thumbs up but you really make it hard by talking over great dialogue!! Under the cover of giving your reaction when really you are trying to explain every second of every scene!! You should be hitting pause say your crap and then hit play
I don't understand what Skylar is asking of Will. Marriage? Live together? People dump on Will for not going with her, but he is on probation. He would be breaking the law if he suddenly left the city. A warrant for his arrest would be issued. He should have explained that to Skylar (and the audience). And "What do you want to do with your life?" is the biggest question of all that anyone can ask anyone else. People ask themselves that every day. It is a question that rarely has an answer beyond "I don't know." Kudos to Matt Damon for making Will such a barbed and thorny person to strangers. Audiences can HEAR and AGREE WITH the fact that he is guarded and defensive but his unlikeability hits audiences viscerally, no matter how accurate and honest it is. So for Damon to play Will that way is brave and honest even if it risks the audience's not caring for him. Because the audience can hear that Will is defensive but most people don't want to see that. Skylar pushed for a lot too soon. How long had they known each other before she wants him to prove his love by changing his entire world for her. What happens in California? If she goes to med school, she'll barely have time to breathe. From med school to internship to the point where she has a position as resident, her life will be school, work, sleep. Does SHE know this? Has anyone told her? Has she told Will that for the first few years he'll be number three in her life, after school and work? Or he'll be number three if she plans on actually becoming a doctor? No. And what does Will do while she is as busy as humanly possible for four or five years?
When i was young anyone saying Christmas was coming up in september would probably get in a fight lol. Thise were the good old days of no fhrostmas stuff before thanksgiving.
The power in a movie, and the power in watching reactions to a movie, is in watching things as they unfold. When you guess everything that's going to happen ahead of time, it makes your reaction very uninteresting to watch. I'm six minutes in and you already know everything. Why should I bother finishing this when you've already got it all figured out?
Great Reaction 🎉 Wouldn't be interesting if they would collaborate on another movie ❓ You commented on some of the best parts of the movie. What is the line ... "It's both a blessing and a curse." To run across a therapist that you can be yourself around is a rare occurrence. Thanks for the Entertainment ‼️
Late, but an important point is that therapy is absolutely NOT good for everyone. It's great for some, good for many, but there are a not insignificant number of people for whom it doesn't matter what combination of therapists, therapeutic techniques, effort put forth or time spent: therapy is not effective or good for anyone anymore than it would be to sit in front of a particular crystal for an hour a day every day. People saying that's just kind of a pet peeve because it's getting to the point that people respond with therapy as a solution to everything and almost have started suggesting treating fractures, lacerations and amputations and stuff with therapy.
When I went to jail the first time my cellmate was in there are on a manslaughter charge. Killed a guy. Reminds me of growing up my mom was a librarian and she would take to me work when she had too so I hung out with all the librarians and read books with them. I'll admit I go to a therapist and seen a psychiatrist....not ashamed to admit it.
That last line by Robin Williams was not scripted, Robin just improvised! IMO it was hard to watch cuz you talked over some of the best scenes in the movie instead of letting them play though and after that tell us what you think. Just food for thought
The park bench scene with Matt Damon and Robin Williams is just amazing.
That scene alone likely won Robin Williams his Oscar.
Yes it did. So amazing.
There is a statue of Robin there now.

The wife farting story was improvised by the great Robin Williams. The laughter by Damon was genuine and it had the entire film crew laughing. You might notice the camera shaking a bit because the cameraman was trying to keep from cracking up. The director had no choice but to keep the scene in the film. So great.
As an owner of numerous greyhounds, i can say racing them is far from cruel. They absolutely adore it.
That's because you think so and want to interpret it as such.
Maybe they hate it but you forced them enough times that now they are used to it and their spirit is broken. Sorta like slavery.
They also have a great adoption program when they’re done.
People always want to think everything and everyone is oppressed these days... it's weird
Just like huskies. They LOVE to run and work out. For example pull sleds. People forget that not all dogs are lap dogs. Some NEED AND LOVE to work hard. Keeping a husky, greyhound or german sheperd inside all the time is cruelty.

So Matt Damon is currently working with the city of Boston to get a bronze statue of Robin Williams on the exact same bench in the exact same park from this scene to not only honor Robin but for people who do visit and sit on that bench so they can feel like they’re actually talking to Robin.
Having grown up with abuse this movie is perfectly written. Its extremely difficult to break out of that and allow yourself to be vulnerable to another person. The fear and anxiety to be rejected is amplified to an extreme level. It's pretty obvious you have no idea what that's like.
RIP Robin Williams. Miss you legend ❤️🙏
What a phenomenal movie.
Great film! Great choice for a reaction! Thanks for the upload!
Great reaction to this beautifully performed and written film. Thanks so much for sharing your reaction with us. Without Kevin Smith becoming a producer on the film Good Will Hunting, no studio wanted either Matt Damon nor Ben Affleck in the lead roles. Even though they had both written the screenplay, the studios considered them to be unknowns. Kevin Smith, thankfully, convinced them otherwise. Please watch Clerks.(1994)
Written/Directed/Starring Kevin Smith
I want to give you a thumbs up but you really make it hard by talking over great dialogue!! Under the cover of giving your reaction when really you are trying to explain every second of every scene!! You should be hitting pause say your crap and then hit play
I don't understand what Skylar is asking of Will. Marriage? Live together? People dump on Will for not going with her, but he is on probation. He would be breaking the law if he suddenly left the city. A warrant for his arrest would be issued. He should have explained that to Skylar (and the audience).
And "What do you want to do with your life?" is the biggest question of all that anyone can ask anyone else. People ask themselves that every day. It is a question that rarely has an answer beyond "I don't know."
Kudos to Matt Damon for making Will such a barbed and thorny person to strangers. Audiences can HEAR and AGREE WITH the fact that he is guarded and defensive but his unlikeability hits audiences viscerally, no matter how accurate and honest it is. So for Damon to play Will that way is brave and honest even if it risks the audience's not caring for him. Because the audience can hear that Will is defensive but most people don't want to see that.
Skylar pushed for a lot too soon. How long had they known each other before she wants him to prove his love by changing his entire world for her. What happens in California? If she goes to med school, she'll barely have time to breathe. From med school to internship to the point where she has a position as resident, her life will be school, work, sleep. Does SHE know this? Has anyone told her? Has she told Will that for the first few years he'll be number three in her life, after school and work? Or he'll be number three if she plans on actually becoming a doctor? No. And what does Will do while she is as busy as humanly possible for four or five years?
oh fuck off... what a load of rabble....
I don’t think you grasp the emotional stance where this movie comes from
18:06 life facts , great scene 👀😼
Among this type of films, I can also recommend Gifted with Chris Evans. I hope to see your reaction to this film. Best regards
So many kids growing up like will did think they did something wrong to get that kind of treatment
She isn't "too good for him". He is a troubled young man that needs help.
When i was young anyone saying Christmas was coming up in september would probably get in a fight lol. Thise were the good old days of no fhrostmas stuff before thanksgiving.
The power in a movie, and the power in watching reactions to a movie, is in watching things as they unfold. When you guess everything that's going to happen ahead of time, it makes your reaction very uninteresting to watch. I'm six minutes in and you already know everything. Why should I bother finishing this when you've already got it all figured out?
Great Reaction 🎉
Wouldn't be interesting if they would collaborate on another movie ❓
You commented on some of the best parts of the movie.
What is the line ... "It's both a blessing and a curse."
To run across a therapist that you can be yourself around is a rare occurrence.
Thanks for the Entertainment ‼️
Late, but an important point is that therapy is absolutely NOT good for everyone. It's great for some, good for many, but there are a not insignificant number of people for whom it doesn't matter what combination of therapists, therapeutic techniques, effort put forth or time spent: therapy is not effective or good for anyone anymore than it would be to sit in front of a particular crystal for an hour a day every day. People saying that's just kind of a pet peeve because it's getting to the point that people respond with therapy as a solution to everything and almost have started suggesting treating fractures, lacerations and amputations and stuff with therapy.
Thank you!! It’s nice to see someone else who understands this. And I’m saying this as one of those people who therapy doesn’t work for.
The last of us 2 HBO trailer is out
Hi Alyska hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Amazing movie love the video Alyska stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way

Thanks for sharing. Thanks for getting it. 'Won my subscription.
This is a movie that really shows how male friendships and relationships work. About male vulnerability.
Watching movie like this without real signs of emotion
When I went to jail the first time my cellmate was in there are on a manslaughter charge. Killed a guy. Reminds me of growing up my mom was a librarian and she would take to me work when she had too so I hung out with all the librarians and read books with them. I'll admit I go to a therapist and seen a psychiatrist....not ashamed to admit it.
I just realized why people recommended this to you. Minnie Driver ❤😂
You do resemble her, but definitely hotter lol
Excuse me, ma’am? You don’t know that guy’s name (Sean/Shawn) it’s MF Robin Williams. Put some respect on it 😂❤
my favourite movie of all time:)
I guess he finally finished his burger
my first Casey Affleck movie
How is a dog running cruel lol
So you have to tell me, what's cruel about greyhound racing? I've never heard that before 🤔
Nothing .. those dogs are very well cared for and they get to do what they love doing the most.
@@Johnny2Feathers Cool, that's what I assumed. Thank you bro... Some people. 🤔
@@gingerbreadman1969 assuming animals in sports are well cared for is a moronic assumption
You should react to Louis CK talking about this movie and the actor who made it😂
Watch more Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea or The Assassination of Jesse James !
Yes, gen X teenagers were just as violent if not more but with more testosterone. A lot more.
RIP Robin Williams😢
That last line by Robin Williams was not scripted, Robin just improvised! IMO it was hard to watch cuz you talked over some of the best scenes in the movie instead of letting them play though and after that tell us what you think. Just food for thought
