this is one of my all time favorite movies. i was rewatching it the night before i started my junior year of high school and was having trouble sleeping with anxiety about school starting the following day. the night i watched it was the same day that robin williams committed suicide. i finally drifted to sleep thanks to the comfort this movie brings but i ended up waking up during the “it’s not your fault” scene. i can admit that i cried like a baby in that moment. hands down my favorite robin williams performance.
I called my dad and he cried with me. It was not long after(to me), that I lost my own dad; rare form of cancer but personally, he was my own Robin Williams.
Unbelievable that young Ben and Matt wrote the screenplay. The chemistry, the emotion, the characters, the dialogue in this movie, it’s all rock solid. Every actor that was in this movie belonged here, every shot was just right. It’s not the Godfather or whatever people say is true cinema, but it’s just right. Every piece does what it needs to do. To me, Good Will Hunting is an overwhelmingly earnest movie. It is made to handle emotion and healing with an unbelievably graceful, gentle touch. It is made with overwhelming love, so much so that it’s near physically palpable. The tangibility of this film is measured in the tears you spill watching it.
You didn’t get “chills” quit exaggerating. People always comment on some of the most mundane tv/movie scenes “I got chills down my spine” no you didn’t... it’s fucking cringe.
This is a movie that I literally adore ... full of humanity and love ... not just "a movie", but the best food ever for your mind and soul. And looking at the eyes of Robin Williams you really can see an ocean of love overflowing ... it's something so heart moving, I can't hold back the tears ...
Hey great video, brings me back to my first viewing of the film, I can’t deny I shed a tear during the scene when williams keeps telling Matt “it’s not your fault”
My favorite movie of all time, Idk I've some weird connection with the characters and dialogs that caused me to watch this movie like 40 times or even more... Just loving it.
Honestly and it’s my favorite movie too cause I can relate to it so much and the whole movie is harmless and just nothing wrong with it it’s one of the best films about mental health
I think the reason I can appreciate this movie so much is just the raw emotion you get from these characters...something you really just don’t get that often in cinema anymore.
Great stuff! I personally always saw the kaleidoscope intro as his viewpoint on the world, how everything is always broken up into a million different pieces, carefully analyzed to discover the potential risks and dangers. Indeed giving him a reason not to connect.
I just saw this movie for the first time a few days ago. I knew it was a classic, but never got around to seeing it. "They became each other's therapists.... realizing just how damaged they both were." True. It's a piece that so aptly protrays vulerability and pain and mental health with men, particularly a younger man, and an older man, that I think all the world should see - especially for its damaging effect of hiding things and letting them fester, versus trying to make connections with others and start the road to healing and becoming stronger.
You know, I haven't seen Good Will Hunting since high school. Your video has me in a mood to revisit it, and unlike The Last Samurai, I actually own Good Will Hunting, so a rewatch is a lot more likely. Good work.
"This simple, but extremely effective technique". I feel like there is so much in this film that uses simple, but extremely effective technique, and that is what makes it great. We all see it as fans of the movie. We are all moved by it. Great stuff.
Damn my media teacher would probably want to marry you after this analysis. I’ve just watched this film for the first time and I think it’ll be my favourite film, great video aswell btw

We plan on creating some bigger and deeper video essays for the Summer, so if you haven’t, subscribe and stay tuned! Let us know in the comments what’s your favorite performance by Robin Williams. See you next week!
Every entry on this channel makes me feel that I am obligated to leave a thing or two of my thoughts and feelings because it is an appreciation of what I am witnessing and learning! It's so subtle and deep! I love it's connection! Thank you!
This movie was already in my top movies that I watched too many times, but your analysis made me realize I still missed so much detail 😭😭😭😭 I must rewatch it even more now
First, great video and second, this movie is just beautiful, it is a portrayal of humanity, how complex a person can be and how little you really know about those who sorround you.
My history teacher showed me this in high school 🏫. Now that I’m a lot older and in my 20s a lot of scenes hit harder than when I saw back then thank you for this video.
You show a true understanding and unique interpretation of film that I have not seen in a while. Loved the ending 7 panel/ alternating color segment. These are the breakdowns of film that truly satisfy my soul. +1 sub buddy, keep it up!!
I've only seen this film a handful of times, though I really can't say they were full viewings because they were all on TV with heavy commercials. But I will say, I do like this film quite a bit. And to be completely honest, it was at times late at night when I was tired so I probably give it a proper viewing one of these days. Anyway, I'm loving your videos, your analysis of "Drive" popped into my recommended and I haven't stopped watching your vids since.
Third party films never make it happens to be one of the most developed moment that makes it harder to believe that all members of their team have a modern feel make it easier to imagine.
Never in the history of my TH-cam experience I wanted to press the LIKE button more than to this video i am in Germany in a library and having tears in my eyes don’t ask me why but it’s beautiful - enough said
I'm from Cambridge too, and I used to buy Matt & Ben six-packs of Budweiser at Norton's Liquors on Mass. Ave. In North Cambridge because they were too young to buy. Great kids they were!
All of those are some of our favorite movies, but I'll admit Star Wars will be especially difficult to cover since it's been talked about so many times. We'll see what we can do :) Thanks again for your support, man!
This was a really wonderful analysis and review, I like this movie a lot and it has a special place in my heart, thank you so much for putting this together!
I really like your videos, thanks for this great analysis. I would love to see one about dead poets society, my very top movie! Keep on with your videos :*
I watched this on 98, my first year of college. A year later met the woman, love of my life, and because of inmaturity ans insecurity i lost her on 2009. Im married now, with a son, and love them both to death, but for my first love, she will allways be the one. We have to take responsability from our own actions. I wasnt good enough for her, and that's my fault. I will always love you Carolina. Sorry for my mistakes. ♥️
I think i liked is that the movies starts out with knowing kinda nothing about Will, You get to know him slowly more while watching. Whats fitting on how his inner world is closed off to the outside too. Just a thought lol
I love the scene when Ben Affleck tells Matt that if he’s still there in 25 years he’ll kill him because it’s hard for a friend to tell another one that there not what they need
Male Therapist : So, Dale. I don't know how much you know about therapy, but it usually starts by you telling me a little something about yourself. Dale Doback : I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and... I just figure it out. Male Therapist : Is this Good Will Hunting? Dale Doback : No. Male Therapist : It sounds a lot like the plot of Good Will Hunting. Dale Doback : Yeah, anyway. My best friend is Ben Affleck...
"Ending was predictable", I question that, but hey someone can have a different interpretation. I thought it was going to end with Will going to one of the jobs he was offered, that was going to be his first stepping stone.
this is one of my all time favorite movies. i was rewatching it the night before i started my junior year of high school and was having trouble sleeping with anxiety about school starting the following day. the night i watched it was the same day that robin williams committed suicide. i finally drifted to sleep thanks to the comfort this movie brings but i ended up waking up during the “it’s not your fault” scene. i can admit that i cried like a baby in that moment. hands down my favorite robin williams performance.
Bless your heart!! I don’t know anyone who did not ugly cry, that day! Not one person.
I called my dad and he cried with me. It was not long after(to me), that I lost my own dad; rare form of cancer but personally, he was my own Robin Williams.

"maybe you married the wrong woman"
*Maybe you should watch your mouth*
I always loved how quickly and easily Robin delivered that line.
“You don’t wanna hear that I had fucking cigarettes put out on me when I was a kid”
I get chills from that scene and I’ve seen it 100 times
You didn’t get “chills” quit exaggerating. People always comment on some of the most mundane tv/movie scenes “I got chills down my spine” no you didn’t... it’s fucking cringe.
@@MasterSeth99 I’m sorry that you are having a bad week.
@@MasterSeth99 One day maybe you'll feel as much as others. For now maybe consider not lashing out at those who do feel?
Dude, chill out with these bangers
Everyone check out elliott smith, his music was used in the film and it just adds to the raw emotion of the film. He’s my favorite artist of all time.
Hes awesome love between the bars and Angeles
This is a movie that I literally adore ... full of humanity and love ... not just "a movie", but the best food ever for your mind and soul.
And looking at the eyes of Robin Williams you really can see an ocean of love overflowing ... it's something so heart moving, I can't hold back the tears ...
Hey great video, brings me back to my first viewing of the film, I can’t deny I shed a tear during the scene when williams keeps telling Matt “it’s not your fault”
Gets me every single damn time. Thank you!
We all did, friend. We all do.
Shed a tear? I broke down 🤣
My favorite movie of all time, Idk I've some weird connection with the characters and dialogs that caused me to watch this movie like 40 times or even more... Just loving it.

Yess me too
'You do what's on your heart son, you'll be fine.'
“It’s not your fault” scene always has a special place in my heart.
This video is beautiful.

Definitely. One of the best scripts ever written. Thanks, Daniel!

Why can't more movies be like Good Will Hunting? I learned so much from this movie.
I just drank pre-workout. But I’m not leaving for the gym till this video is over.
nicholas kloster watching this at the gym, brain food
What are you watching videos at the gym for?
I am watching this at the gym, yes brain food and prepping a new script as well. Fantastic idea
king
I just turned 13 a couple days ago, but Good Will Hunting as been my favorite movie for a few years.
Damn my media teacher would probably want to marry you after this analysis. I’ve just watched this film for the first time and I think it’ll be my favourite film, great video aswell btw

Thank you very much Michael! Welcome to our channel
man, i'm in tears, beautiful video
I'm gonna run out of videos to watch in like a week and be depressed. This one hits really close to home for me..
I've only seen this film a handful of times, though I really can't say they were full viewings because they were all on TV with heavy commercials. But I will say, I do like this film quite a bit. And to be completely honest, it was at times late at night when I was tired so I probably give it a proper viewing one of these days. Anyway, I'm loving your videos, your analysis of "Drive" popped into my recommended and I haven't stopped watching your vids since.
My favorite Robin Williams movie is One Hour Photo. Most unique, terrifying, oddly heartfelt and personable movie I've seen.
I just stumbled upon this video
And didn't knew there is so much to film making
Amazing
Third party films never make it happens to be one of the most developed moment that makes it harder to believe that all members of their team have a modern feel make it easier to imagine.
I look forward to this every week.
This means a lot. Thank you!

Thank you! How does it make you feel?
love the emotional little highlights reel at the end man. really drives home the feel and message you were explaining!
I'm from Cambridge too, and I used to buy Matt & Ben six-packs of Budweiser at Norton's Liquors on Mass. Ave. In North Cambridge because they were too young to buy. Great kids they were!
My history teacher showed us this movie in high school I go back to it a lot. Amazing video man 👊🏻
Really great interpretation
Beautiful and very thoughtful review of a Masterpiece!
Nice, pretty sure this was one of my recommendations and if it wasn't. I don't know why I didn't reccommend it before. Great video! 👍
Just checked my comment on your John Wick video, I recommended American Psycho, Star Wars, and Good Will Hunting. 1 down, two to go.
All of those are some of our favorite movies, but I'll admit Star Wars will be especially difficult to cover since it's been talked about so many times. We'll see what we can do :) Thanks again for your support, man!
A Matter of Film Keep up the great work!
This was a really wonderful analysis and review, I like this movie a lot and it has a special place in my heart, thank you so much for putting this together!

Just subbed because of this video, it's one of my favorite films and you really broke it down amazingly.
I think i liked is that the movies starts out with knowing kinda nothing about Will, You get to know him slowly more while watching. Whats fitting on how his inner world is closed off to the outside too. Just a thought lol
The "It's not your fault" scene is so fucking powerful.
This was amazing❤️
Thank you!
A Matter of Film love from india buddy🤗❤️
Nice video again, what an eye opener. Love this film
Thanks again :)
I love the scene when Ben Affleck tells Matt that if he’s still there in 25 years he’ll kill him because it’s hard for a friend to tell another one that there not what they need
I love the way you think
Great video man! Had me teary eyed by the end however though aha 😰😓

Your video reminds me of "Every Film a Painting"
Is that a good or a bad thing? 😁
@@AMatterofFilm For me it's praise of the highest order. Sadly there hasn't been a new episode in a few years.
Wow, thank you Brian!! EFAP is truly an inspiration for us ❤️
"Do what's in your heart son you'll be fine." Yeah, how far has that gotten you Hollywood?

Thank you Lawansuk!
Just joined your channel. Amazing work. Please upload more videos soon.
Male Therapist : So, Dale. I don't know how much you know about therapy, but it usually starts by you telling me a little something about yourself.
Dale Doback : I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and... I just figure it out.
Male Therapist : Is this Good Will Hunting?
Dale Doback : No.
Male Therapist : It sounds a lot like the plot of Good Will Hunting.
Dale Doback : Yeah, anyway. My best friend is Ben Affleck...
Fucking inane quality put into these videos. Might I recommend It Comes at Night? I feel like the movie was kinda misunderstood.
I K E Thank you so much! We promise to check that one out :)
Jumanji is my favorite performance of Rbbin Williams...
🌻
Great great great job Congrats
Subscribed. Well done
"Ending was predictable", I question that, but hey someone can have a different interpretation. I thought it was going to end with Will going to one of the jobs he was offered, that was going to be his first stepping stone.
I wish you watch black movies I will love to hear you break down some of my favorite movies
Nice video!
Thanks Jake!
Very good
