@@TampaCEO Very cool. Loved it when I heard about that. I recently saw Matt Damon & Casey Affleck on their promotional tour for their latest project. Matt was telling Casey someone was attempting to get a bench with a statue of Robin in that park. People who just needed a “friend” could go sit with him. Hope they did/do.
Guys, do yourself a favor and watch The Fisher King with Robin Williams, even if it's just in private. It's never gonna beat your Patreon polls, it's probably not gonna get lots of views on TH-cam but it's likely the best movie with Robin Williams. It's one of those movies that you carry around in your heart for the rest of your life. Without revealing anything, if you liked the vibe of Good Will Hunting, you're gonna like Fisher King even more.
The fact Damon and Affleck were unknown and this was their break into the film world - and they won an oscar for screenplay. Incredible. And it bagged Williams his Oscar finally too!
Unknown is a bit of a stretch. They just weren't household names yet, but I was aware of both of them due to School Ties, Dazed & Confused, Courage Under Fire, etc...
@PeggyBball42 the script originally sold to Castle Rock in 1994, two years before COURAGE UNDER FIRE. Damon only had decent roles SCHOOL TIES and GERONIMO, both of which tanked. Affleck had a decent role in DAZED, but it wasn't a hit either and he couldn't book another role. It's why they wrote a project for themselves.
@@PeggyBball42yeah I was gonna say they were known before this. Mall Rats and school ties were some solid movies. The real story between these 2 are the fact they grew up friends and both ended up actors.
I read a comment about this from a different reaction channel that made perfect sense, to me. They said that that scene broke them every time too until they dealt with their own relatable trauma, after reading that the scene never broke me again.
I actually like that we don't get to see Will meet up with Skylar because it kind of represents this... unknown future that Will was always afraid to step into. He doesn't know if she's going to take him back or not. It's a risk that he's taking and that's the whole point of it.
Agreed -he's never been outside of Boston so the key point here in concluding the movie was not the romance but the journey to California itself as a metaphor for having been unburdened by his past.
@@Ernwaldo As well as the whole conversation during the therapy session about what intimacy means. Honestly, there's like 3-4 Oscar level monologues in this movie. Not surprised it won an Oscar for best picture.
Another Robin Williams movie you MUST see is “Dead Poets Society.” It’s one of Williams’ most powerful performances, IMO. It received multiple Academy Award nominations. I can’t recall if it actually won one of the awards. ✌️❤️
Chuckie was a real friend. Knew Will had to get away to reach his potential and while he didn’t want to lose his best friend, he knew he had to push him out.
@@horsepower523 What you say makes no sense. It is genuine and written by Damon and Affleck. Both of them grew up together in Cambridge as kids, they probably have written parts of their own lives in the movie. They probably have worked on this screenplay since they were kids. Both of them were fairly unknown until Good Will Hunting. Two small time actors (at the time) could not have ghost writers in Hollywood. Especially kids that grew up in Cambridge. Also both studied at Harvard and Damon was tasked at script writing there, and Affleck helped out which later became the script of Good Will Hunting. It's not like they are dumb people. And Affleck has a good track record for writing and directing even though he isn't that great of an actor. Both had already done uncredited professional script writing before Good Will Hunting. What is known is that they started writing the movie in college and then they dropped out and later eventually finished it. It's your classic rags to riches story. I suggest you read up on how the movie was made. It is pretty fascinating.
Robin Williams performance is in my top 10 acting performances of all time. This is a powerful movie and beautifully acted, written, and directed. I cry every single time I watch this.
It’s a cruel irony to watch Robin Williams play such a brilliant psychologist, knowing how his life ended. Maybe he wasn’t fortunate enough to meet somebody like Sean to help him. RIP Robin, you were loved.
He had a disease that _may_ have made him dangerous to people he loved as it progressed. I don't blame him. Just watched a bodycam video of a man with the same disease and, well, I won't dump that horrific info on you but it was really bad. I don't blame Robin for making the choice he did and doubt a psychologist would have changed his mind. 😢
He didn’t necessarily kill himself from depression. The disease he had the potential to make him very dangerous to the people around him. I just watched a crime/bodycam footage of a man who had the exact same disease. He had a very loving family. Is family came over for thanksgiving to find out that he literally got up that morning and dismembered his wife with a 4 inch pocket knife. Just completely mutilated her. Cops were throwing up the scene was so bad. Now this was extreme and in late stages (died like 3 weeks later), but it’s not uncommon for people with that kind of dementia to be violent, even if they were the nicest person ever. No therapist/psychologist could have helped him cure it.
Weird that both replies say the same thing. Anecdotal evidence from a single video is not representative of “the disease” as both replies call it (it’s called Lewy Body Dementia) since they didn’t say it
Robin Williams' suicide was primarily linked to **Lewy body dementia** (LBD), a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that affects cognitive, motor, and psychiatric functions. Initially, his symptoms were misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease due to overlapping features, such as tremors and motor issues. However, after his death, an autopsy revealed that he had severe LBD, which led to profound cognitive decline, mood disturbances, hallucinations, and anxiety. Lewy body dementia can cause severe psychological symptoms, including depression, confusion, paranoia, and visual hallucinations, which can greatly impact one's mental health and sense of reality. Williams had also battled **depression** and **anxiety** for years, and the worsening effects of LBD exacerbated his condition. In his widow Susan Schneider Williams' account, the disorder led to an unbearable combination of psychological and physical symptoms that likely contributed to his decision to end his life.
@@jrod1591 he literally did kill himself from depression. Having dementia isn’t some excuse for suicide. It’s treatable to a certain degree, and he was pushed to suicide, but he didn’t do it because he thought he was going to hurt somebody, it’s ridiculous to even say that. That’s like saying some crazy guy with asthma killed his whole family with a handsaw. like all people with asthma shouldn’t just kiII themselves because that may happen cause they aren’t related.
Best of the 90's (not already on your channel) Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Green Mile, Sleepers, Se7en, Man on the Moon, Silence of the Lambs, Meet Joe Black, Reservoir Dogs, My Cousin Vinny, A Time to Kill, The Shawshank Redemption, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, The Sixth Sense, Fargo, Life is Beautiful, Jackie Brown, A League of Their Own, Groundhog Day, Rudy, Wayne's World, In the Name of the Father, Rounders, In the Line of Fire, The Hurricane, American Beauty, The Fifth Element, The Usual Suspects, and Awakenings (with Robin Williams)
a HUGE amount of robin williams' dialogue in this is unscripted or altered in the moment, this is a talent that you almost never see so strong on anyone besides comedians or live performers. There's a lot of youtube videos examining the things he said vs what the script had him say, and its the same general idea but is a COMPLETELY different way to convey the same information, but he makes it human, because he IS human. Robin williams is one of the very very few celebrity deaths that truly upset me, it just felt so bad that such a bright spirit and incredible human was gone. He was as human as it gets, and pretty much every piece of acting he did was improv to some degree, the man knew how to make things sound real, funny, and impactful in a way that is once in a lifetime rare, I feel no shame in admitting that i MISS him, he was an absolute treasure, and you cant replace him. RIP Robin Williams, truly miss you being around
You are the first ones I’ve seen that noticed the ‘benching 285’ part. Will was trying to read Sean like a book, trying to find any little bit that Sean thought he’d be better at Sean than. Just kept deflecting and then found a sensitive part and kept pushing. This movie is phenomenal!
One of the best things watching this channel has been seeing Spartan expand his interests. Going from being all about newer action and warrior type stuff to now crying watching a 30 year old movie about going to therapy and falling in love. I'm very excited for you to see all that cinema has to offer! Maybe we can get you guys to watch some Hitchcock at some point? I recommend Rope and Rear window.
The relationships in this movie! The "friends"...the "romantic interest"...the "mentor"...all so perfectly/beautifully written:) Crazy to imagine two powerhouses in Hollywood in our day and age wrote this academy award script for "Best Original Screenplay" when they were babies?
There's something about Bill's "Happy 21 brother" that gets me. So sincere and matter of fact. Like, these are the guys you want having your back going through life.
grew up in Boston in the 80's and 90's. this movie is pretty damn accurate. also, they weren't defending that girl in the beginning, they just wanted revenge on that guy.
I thought that too at first but it was a little bit of both. Chuck ask Will "What, do we have something." Will - I don't know yet. He waits to see how the interaction with the girl plays out before he makes his final decision.
The Unabomber scene is great for showing who Gerry and Sean are and their agendas. Gerry is not a villain, but he's so self-centered that he unknowingly makes Will's life harder. He wants to save Will the math god. Gerry is so envious of Will's genius that he wants to be Will. He wants Sean to "fix" him right away, like a mechanic fixes a car. Sean wants to help Will the MAN. He wants Will to heal himself and form close relationships, so he can be truly happy.
"Awakenings" (1990) is one of Williams's best films. Co-starring Robert De Niro Williams plays a doctor who makes a breakthrough with a catatonic patient (De Niro) and seeks to help others "awaken". Robin Williams was a great comedian and an even greater actor. He could play any role. A remarkable talent.
I saw Robin Williams at a bookstore in Berkeley. First I just heard tons of laughing, adults and kids. I went over, and there he was! He was grabbing kids books off the shelf and acting out the covers for the kids. It was amazing. I stayed a bit then just left him alone, this was before selfies and all that and people were being respectful. Amazing how much light and joy he brought into other peoples lives. Losing him the world lost a brilliant light. This is one of the few movies that gets me 😭 Rest in peace Robin.
A good friend of mine said he was peeing in a public restroom in the Bay Area in California, and he turned around, and Robin Williams was in line behind him. And he smiled real big and said ,"Robin Williams!" and offered his hand for a hand shake, and Robin said," Nah, you just peed , man." and they both laughed.
Robin Williams was the greatest improvisational comedian of his time and a great dramatic actor. His extraordinary performance in this won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. I’m an old guy, brought up on black-and-white movies, so I want to put in a good word for them. The kind of movies you appreciate but say you don’t get enough of---films of great dramatic depth and deep feelings---were the stock-and-trade of older films. Without today’s special effects, the script and acting were crucial to putting across a powerful dramatic movie, and these aspects of film were perfected from the 1930s through the 1960s, with pioneering directors like Frank Capra, William Wyler, and Alfred Hitchcock. Two of the best, to start with, are very popular with reactors: “Casablanca” and “12 Angry Men.”
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, I've seen this movie about 50 or 60 times and every time Robin Williams tells Matt Damon, "it's not your fault". It breaks me every time. ------------- He keeps repeating it and my eye fill with water even more. He says it again, and I continue to cray and sniffle. The fucking scene breaks me every time. I'm a grown-ass man and I turn seven every time I watch that scene. ---------- Such amazing writing. -------- Less is definitely more and has such a powerful effect.
I've seen this film several times and I've also watched several reactions to it over the years. But something occurred to me with this viewing that I hadn't thought of before. One of the biggest problems Will has because of a severely abusive childhood is that he won't let people get emotionally close to him. Sean, as he's saying, "it's not your fault" while moving forward towards Will, is filling the space formerly occupied in Will's life by abusers with love, support, and understanding. I'm sure I'm not the first one to notice that but, just wow!
I like how in their first meeting Robin Williams is already folding up his glasses and sighing while Will's talking shit like, "Alright, ugh, I guess I have to choke this kid now."
*Fun fact: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won the Oscar for best screenwriting with* *_Good Will Hunting._* It was catapulted them to fame. They struggled to make it big in Hollywood, so they wrote their own movie.
@@dabreal82 What known movies were they in before _Good Will Hunting_ ? Arguably, there's a difference between getting good roles, getting bad roles, and being a successful actor. There are known actors who are/were struggling actors, while being cast in popular shows and films.
@@Mic-Mak mystic pizza, good old boys, school ties, school daze, chasing Amy, courage under fire, the rainmaker to name a few. And your original statement was "were struggling to get roles". I'm just making the point they weren't.
This is one of the best movies ever! Robin Williams and Matt Damon both won Oscars for their performances. The monologue by Williams on the park bench was quoted as THE BEST monologue in movie history by many people. Pudgey felt the power of it and how much it impacted her as well. Robin Williams is a legend. Finally... if you also watch Dead Poet Society as well you'll see another outstanding movie and performance by him. Great reaction both ❤
Love your appreciation for this film and those that brought it to life. While Robin Williams won an Academy Award for his performance, Matt Damon didn’t. Matt & Ben shared the award for their screenplay. Also, I second your recommendation for *Dead Poet’s Society* and folks shouldn’t forget about *The Fisher King* (1991) which was another remarkable Williams’ performance.
For what it's worth from an internet stranger - this is one of my all-time favorite movies and one of the best movies ever made, in my opinion. It was a pleasure to revisit it while you experienced it for the first time. Thanks, y'all.
Great reaction like always, love this movie and one of the things I like best about the script is that Robin Williams calls him "sport" or "chief" or some other somewhat nickname. But at the end he calls him "son". Reflects the journey the two of them took together. There are some fun-facts about it. The story about his wife farting was also improvised by Robin, Matt's laughing was genuine and if you look closely you can see the camera operator shaking too. Robin also improvised the very last line of the movie. "Son of a bitch. Stole my line." Scary when you realise that Matt & Ben wrote this classic when they were only 22 and when his performance was recognised by the Academy, Robin referenced their age during his acceptance words. The whole speech is one of the best Oscar moments ever, you can feel the love in the room for Robin, especially from the host Billy Crystal, his old friend from the very early days of trying to make it in showbiz. It wasn't polite applause from his peers - it was genuine love for a man who had brought so much joy & laughter but was also capable of touching performances like this. Wonderful. The award and speech are on YT, do try and watch. Keep up the good work.
Yes to more 90s movies!! Saw a list of movies released in 93-94 a while back and what was really striking was the diversity! So I think you would enjoy it alot
I've seen this movie countless times (first time when it came out in theatres) and I just cried all over again. Amazing reaction, thank you guys so much! 🥰❤
“It’s NOT your fault.” is analogous to each wall/mask Will Hunting put in to survive. He had several to hide the pain of guilt, rage, fear, and shame. Every time Williams says it, he shatters a wall/mask. We can see what it took to get to the real Will. I somewhat relate a little to him. When you are in a particular situation, sometimes a front is the one thing you need to survive. Of course, I am neither a genius nor a fighter, but I remember growing up with tough people. Many became Hells Angels, tough motherF. My older brother’s best friends became Angels. You learn to show no fear as not to show any weakness. I remember fighting a lot in Elementary school; then, I had a reputation throughout High School for not fuck too much with me. As I was very small, I had to show strength and fierceness during my childhood. I recently discovered I have Asperger’s also, which was challenging in itself.
There are some great ones during that time period but many from the black and white era are awesome movies as well. Casablanca for one. Possibly the best movie ever made.
I've seen a few different reactions to this movie but this is probably one of the best. Your editing is perfect, your appreciation lovely and your insights were fun and spot on. Thank you for helping me pass an enjoyable hour out here driving truck. 😎👍
The writing hits hard, rings true, and leaves you feeling like you just learned some important life lessons. I only wish more movies could be this deep and this good.
This movie was honestly one of those special ones that stuck with me growing up. I was sabotaging every close relationship exactly for the same reasons as Will and it taught me to open up..I'm now in an amazing relationship(we still fight and bicker thought) and I can wholeheartedly say that it is thanks to this gem of a movie!
This movie has a very precious spot in my heart. I had some real though years of my life and I had a very lucky time in my life with my therapist too. I didn't know at that time but she saved my life, and the best thing is that I showed this movie to her and the last conversation we had I was so lost and angry with her. Few months later I figured that out and I was so grateful and now things are better because of her help. Never been so vulnerable with someone before and I really appreciate on how beautiful this is and why this is so meaningful and inspiring to me and to a lot of people struggling in life. Recommend this to a friend and family members because it's worth it. Takes a lot of time to get there but please don't give up, you can not only survive but also be saved no matter how heavy and impossible that could seem. Thank you guys for reacting to this beautiful story. I see a lot of myself in Will and I'm sure others can too. That last scene where we see Will's car going after what he wants and face it with bravery, whatever that could be is so inspiring. Nowadays I'm also driving my car taking that same road to my dreams. Don't know what will come out later but it doesn't matter. We are all destined to take that road.
Stellan Skarsgard is the math professor, he is an incredible actor. You may also recognize him from Pirates, he played Bootstrap Bill. He is also in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a great film trilogy you could check out as well. RIP to the legend Robin Williams, truly one of a kind. You should watch Dead Poets Society, along the same lines as this one and so good.
the first time I saw this film was on a plane flight back home to my country of origin, which I haven't visited since leaving 15 years ago. Till this day the only thing I remember during that trip was this movie.
1:03:20 ... if you're going to bail someone out of jail, it really should come with strings attached, because otherwise you lose your bail money. We start the movie with Will, so there's a bias of knowing him, but realistically the professor took a huge chance on a repeat offender, in jail for a violent crime, just so he could show a lost boy a better path in life. It's easy to dismiss him because Robin Williams is so great, but the professor is doing a good and noble thing in and of itself (and one of the "strings" attached is that he does REQUIRE him to go to therapy)
Oh my... Spartan garners my utmost respect, I had a feeling since the first time I saw you guys, but to get a genuine verbal and visual expression a side of himself that is so meaningful and with such comfortable candor... yeah, Spartan, you are the matching piece of the puzzle that fits with Pudgey, and I wish you both the very best going forward. Thanks you guys for sharing with us.
I can't even count how many times I've watched this movie. It's my favorite of all time. It's such an emotional roller coaster and funny at the same time.
Now you understand why this movie beat out the other awesome action movies. This is a must watch movie for every person. Amazing acting, writing, music, etc.
Hey Pudgey, you mentioned how you could listen to Robin Williams talk all day long. He's one of your favorite actors with classics like Jumanji and Ms. Doubtfire. -------- Robin Williams has the ability to look happy and smiling but there is an ever-present sadness in his eyes. -------- Funny thing is he's one of the greatest comedians that ever lived, as well as one of the greatest dramatic actors in movie history, and could switch between them both flawlessly. -------- Sad to say that sadness you see in his eyes does catch up with him in real life. R.I.P Robin Williams. -------- I implore you to check out more of his classic movies, like Dead Poet's Society, Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come, Good Morning Vietnam and many more.
This instantly became one of my favorite films all time. -a recent film in the same vein of good will hunting that you might like is “the holdovers” that came out last year
So many wonderful movies in this era. Shawshank Redemption (1994) with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is, imho, the best drama ever made, and The Fugitive (1993) with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones is the best action/thriller ever made. It was a great time to be alive.
The good ones are always worth rewatching. That's why people like me like reaction videos :) I like it when reactors do a 2nd view reaction because they know what's coming up and are already invested in those classic moments.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck both won Oscars for this movie, and Ben Affleck won another for Argo in 2013. Matt Damon was nominated four other times for Oscars, including for Manchester By the Sea in 2016, which won Casey Affleck his first Oscar (Morgan O'Mally in Good Will Hunting). Minnie Driver was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscar and won the London Film Critics Circle Award for this movie, as well.
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, this is such a unique storyline, it's so very unique - an abused genius, traumatized and broken needs to find his deep needed healing from grief and redemption. ------- Skylar can't save him. ------- Chuck can't save him. He has built up so many defense mechanisms that he couldn't let his guard down with his friends, scientific peers, or the woman he wanted to love. ------- He can't be honest and transparent with anybody. --------- Sean has to break him down and let him expose himself and fix himself from within for the real breakthrough to happen. WOAH.
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, you picked up on it well to understand Will Hunting's point of view when it comes to love and relationships because you seek love and companionship. ---------- Will Hunting is super smart and can dissect any academic subject matter but runs away from love and human connections. ---------- The only people he trusts are Chuck (Ben Affleck) and eventually Sean (Robin Williams)
I understand never having seen it as you are young but I think my jaw hit the floor when you said you had never even heard of it. It’s a masterpiece. Arguably one of the best movies ever. I don’t know if you guys noticed that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote this movie. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon became the youngest people ever to win the academy award for best original screen play. An honor they still hold to this day. Robin Williams won for best supporting actor. Robin Williams best roles are his dramatic roles. You need to watch “Dead Poets Society” and “Good morning Vietnam”
Great reaction guys! I'm 38 years old and have lived with cronic depression since i was like 12, and I watch this movie once a year, It is very calming for the soul. To sit at the bench from the movie is on the bucket list. Rest in peace dear Robin Williams❤
When one movie has 3-4 VERY memorable 1 on 1 conversations that are extremely powerful. The bench became a makeshift memorial for a while when people found out about the passing of Williams. Both Matt and Ben have natural Boston accents since they are from there, so it makes it so authentic. Should watching Robin Williams & Robert De Niro in Awakenings. It's based on true events. It's another movie where Williams plays a subdued character. I also recommend Good Morning Vietnam. 1957 12 Angry Men. If you want all dialogue, this is the movie for you. It's a courtroom drama that takes place 98% in one room. I consider it one of the best written movies of all time.
Another Robin Williams movie you should react to ... "Awakenings". It is the true story of a major breakthrough in psychiatric treatment when the role of L-DOPA was discovered as a miracle drug for the Parkinsonian-like catatonic state. Again ... a real story ... and one of the GREAT examples of Robin Williams abilities as an actor.

True. And it is also a good decision not to show everything. Trust the audience!

@@rebeccapinto9926oh my goodness. Yes! Another powerful performance by Williams. You are so correct. Also “Patch Adams”…
@@jenniferkasowicz9463 And, they'll have to watch "Good Morning Vietnam" to cap off the list of memorable performances!
I just posted that too. RIP Captain.
*The Fisher King* (1991) was another powerful performance by Robin Williams similar to *Good Will Hunting* but with a bit of a role reversal.
Chuckie was a real friend. Knew Will had to get away to reach his potential and while he didn’t want to lose his best friend, he knew he had to push him out.
I feel that's the true nature of friendship not just telling your friend what they want to hear but actually wanting them to be happy and succesful
It's amazing how 2 guys in their 20s wrote this movie.
Yes! I'm sure they worked hella hard on it too! Amazing that they were also able to star in it. Good on them! 🙌🏽 ❤
There are several ghost writers claimed.
That's still debatable whether they really did write it all on their own.
@@thomas8853yeah 2 no names had ghost writers. 🤣🤣. Maybe if made the movie in the later 90s but this take illogical take

Robin Williams performance is in my top 10 acting performances of all time. This is a powerful movie and beautifully acted, written, and directed. I cry every single time I watch this.
Agreed on all counts. It's personally my favorite movie.
I will never get over losing Robin Williams.
never.
It is a duality unfortunately
It’s a cruel irony to watch Robin Williams play such a brilliant psychologist, knowing how his life ended. Maybe he wasn’t fortunate enough to meet somebody like Sean to help him. RIP Robin, you were loved.
He had a disease that _may_ have made him dangerous to people he loved as it progressed. I don't blame him.
Just watched a bodycam video of a man with the same disease and, well, I won't dump that horrific info on you but it was really bad. I don't blame Robin for making the choice he did and doubt a psychologist would have changed his mind. 😢
He didn’t necessarily kill himself from depression. The disease he had the potential to make him very dangerous to the people around him.
I just watched a crime/bodycam footage of a man who had the exact same disease. He had a very loving family. Is family came over for thanksgiving to find out that he literally got up that morning and dismembered his wife with a 4 inch pocket knife. Just completely mutilated her. Cops were throwing up the scene was so bad.
Now this was extreme and in late stages (died like 3 weeks later), but it’s not uncommon for people with that kind of dementia to be violent, even if they were the nicest person ever.
No therapist/psychologist could have helped him cure it.
Weird that both replies say the same thing. Anecdotal evidence from a single video is not representative of “the disease” as both replies call it (it’s called Lewy Body Dementia) since they didn’t say it
Robin Williams' suicide was primarily linked to **Lewy body dementia** (LBD), a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that affects cognitive, motor, and psychiatric functions. Initially, his symptoms were misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease due to overlapping features, such as tremors and motor issues. However, after his death, an autopsy revealed that he had severe LBD, which led to profound cognitive decline, mood disturbances, hallucinations, and anxiety.
Lewy body dementia can cause severe psychological symptoms, including depression, confusion, paranoia, and visual hallucinations, which can greatly impact one's mental health and sense of reality. Williams had also battled **depression** and **anxiety** for years, and the worsening effects of LBD exacerbated his condition.
In his widow Susan Schneider Williams' account, the disorder led to an unbearable combination of psychological and physical symptoms that likely contributed to his decision to end his life.
@@jrod1591 he literally did kill himself from depression. Having dementia isn’t some excuse for suicide. It’s treatable to a certain degree, and he was pushed to suicide, but he didn’t do it because he thought he was going to hurt somebody, it’s ridiculous to even say that. That’s like saying some crazy guy with asthma killed his whole family with a handsaw. like all people with asthma shouldn’t just kiII themselves because that may happen cause they aren’t related.

Agreed. Surprised and happy to see Rounders on your list. Waaay underrated.
Rounders…now we’re talking!!!
I haven't seen all of those, but it is a pretty good list.
Loved Robin's comedies but this and "What dreams may come" really took me by surprise
a HUGE amount of robin williams' dialogue in this is unscripted or altered in the moment, this is a talent that you almost never see so strong on anyone besides comedians or live performers. There's a lot of youtube videos examining the things he said vs what the script had him say, and its the same general idea but is a COMPLETELY different way to convey the same information, but he makes it human, because he IS human. Robin williams is one of the very very few celebrity deaths that truly upset me, it just felt so bad that such a bright spirit and incredible human was gone. He was as human as it gets, and pretty much every piece of acting he did was improv to some degree, the man knew how to make things sound real, funny, and impactful in a way that is once in a lifetime rare, I feel no shame in admitting that i MISS him, he was an absolute treasure, and you cant replace him.
RIP Robin Williams, truly miss you being around
You are the first ones I’ve seen that noticed the ‘benching 285’ part. Will was trying to read Sean like a book, trying to find any little bit that Sean thought he’d be better at Sean than. Just kept deflecting and then found a sensitive part and kept pushing. This movie is phenomenal!
One of the best things watching this channel has been seeing Spartan expand his interests. Going from being all about newer action and warrior type stuff to now crying watching a 30 year old movie about going to therapy and falling in love.
I'm very excited for you to see all that cinema has to offer! Maybe we can get you guys to watch some Hitchcock at some point? I recommend Rope and Rear window.
They both won Oscar for best script writing or something to top it off🙏🍿
Best picture as well.
The relationships in this movie!
The "friends"...the "romantic interest"...the "mentor"...all so perfectly/beautifully written:)
Crazy to imagine two powerhouses in Hollywood in our day and age wrote this academy award script for "Best Original Screenplay" when they were babies?
There's something about Bill's "Happy 21 brother" that gets me. So sincere and matter of fact. Like, these are the guys you want having your back going through life.
Script was worth an Oscar. They also knew they needed a star to sell the movie or it wouldn’t happen. . It’s a cool story how this movie got made.
If you go to the bench where Robin Williams talked to Matt Damon's character, somebody has carved into it, "Your move, Chief."
grew up in Boston in the 80's and 90's. this movie is pretty damn accurate. also, they weren't defending that girl in the beginning, they just wanted revenge on that guy.
I thought that too at first but it was a little bit of both.
Chuck ask Will "What, do we have something."
Will - I don't know yet.
He waits to see how the interaction with the girl plays out before he makes his final decision.
1992 to 2003 was a spectacular golden age for cinema. What a joy was to grow up with those!
The Unabomber scene is great for showing who Gerry and Sean are and their agendas.
Gerry is not a villain, but he's so self-centered that he unknowingly makes Will's life harder. He wants to save Will the math god.
Gerry is so envious of Will's genius that he wants to be Will. He wants Sean to "fix" him right away, like a mechanic fixes a car.
Sean wants to help Will the MAN. He wants Will to heal himself and form close relationships, so he can be truly happy.
"Awakenings" (1990) is one of Williams's best films. Co-starring Robert De Niro
Williams plays a doctor who makes a breakthrough with a catatonic patient (De Niro) and seeks to help others "awaken".
Robin Williams was a great comedian and an even greater actor. He could play any role. A remarkable talent.
I saw Robin Williams at a bookstore in Berkeley. First I just heard tons of laughing, adults and kids. I went over, and there he was! He was grabbing kids books off the shelf and acting out the covers for the kids. It was amazing. I stayed a bit then just left him alone, this was before selfies and all that and people were being respectful. Amazing how much light and joy he brought into other peoples lives. Losing him the world lost a brilliant light. This is one of the few movies that gets me 😭 Rest in peace Robin.
A good friend of mine said he was peeing in a public restroom in the Bay Area in California, and he turned around, and Robin Williams was in line behind him. And he smiled real big and said ,"Robin Williams!" and offered his hand for a hand shake, and Robin said," Nah, you just peed , man." and they both laughed.
After the movie was made a permanent memorial bench was set up in the spot where they filmed Robin's monologue by the lake.
Love seeing you guys begin to recognize why Robin Williams is such a treasure and a once in a life time legend. I feel like you would both love Hook
Minnie Driver is such and incredible actor. We never got to see enough of her even after this amazing performance.
Robin Williams was the greatest improvisational comedian of his time and a great dramatic actor. His extraordinary performance in this won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
I’m an old guy, brought up on black-and-white movies, so I want to put in a good word for them. The kind of movies you appreciate but say you don’t get enough of---films of great dramatic depth and deep feelings---were the stock-and-trade of older films. Without today’s special effects, the script and acting were crucial to putting across a powerful dramatic movie, and these aspects of film were perfected from the 1930s through the 1960s, with pioneering directors like Frank Capra, William Wyler, and Alfred Hitchcock. Two of the best, to start with, are very popular with reactors: “Casablanca” and “12 Angry Men.”
Have to agree!! Casablanca and 12 angry men are absolutely fantastic films!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤞🙆😎👍
You guys are dropping so many bangers lately! Loving it!
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, I've seen this movie about 50 or 60 times and every time Robin Williams tells Matt Damon, "it's not your fault". It breaks me every time. ------------- He keeps repeating it and my eye fill with water even more. He says it again, and I continue to cray and sniffle. The fucking scene breaks me every time. I'm a grown-ass man and I turn seven every time I watch that scene. ---------- Such amazing writing. -------- Less is definitely more and has such a powerful effect.
I've seen this film several times and I've also watched several reactions to it over the years. But something occurred to me with this viewing that I hadn't thought of before. One of the biggest problems Will has because of a severely abusive childhood is that he won't let people get emotionally close to him. Sean, as he's saying, "it's not your fault" while moving forward towards Will, is filling the space formerly occupied in Will's life by abusers with love, support, and understanding. I'm sure I'm not the first one to notice that but, just wow!
I like how in their first meeting Robin Williams is already folding up his glasses and sighing while Will's talking shit like, "Alright, ugh, I guess I have to choke this kid now."
*Fun fact: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won the Oscar for best screenwriting with* *_Good Will Hunting._* It was catapulted them to fame. They struggled to make it big in Hollywood, so they wrote their own movie.
Neither one of them were struggling to get roles... They just weren't the main stars...
@@dabreal82 _Good Will Hunting_ was arguably the biggest break in their careers.
@@Mic-Mak I'm not arguing that. I'm saying they weren't struggling to get roles...
@@dabreal82 What known movies were they in before _Good Will Hunting_ ? Arguably, there's a difference between getting good roles, getting bad roles, and being a successful actor. There are known actors who are/were struggling actors, while being cast in popular shows and films.
@@Mic-Mak mystic pizza, good old boys, school ties, school daze, chasing Amy, courage under fire, the rainmaker to name a few. And your original statement was "were struggling to get roles". I'm just making the point they weren't.
This is one of the best movies ever! Robin Williams and Matt Damon both won Oscars for their performances. The monologue by Williams on the park bench was quoted as THE BEST monologue in movie history by many people. Pudgey felt the power of it and how much it impacted her as well. Robin Williams is a legend.
Finally... if you also watch Dead Poet Society as well you'll see another outstanding movie and performance by him. Great reaction both ❤
Love your appreciation for this film and those that brought it to life. While Robin Williams won an Academy Award for his performance, Matt Damon didn’t. Matt & Ben shared the award for their screenplay.
Also, I second your recommendation for *Dead Poet’s Society* and folks shouldn’t forget about *The Fisher King* (1991) which was another remarkable Williams’ performance.
For what it's worth from an internet stranger - this is one of my all-time favorite movies and one of the best movies ever made, in my opinion. It was a pleasure to revisit it while you experienced it for the first time. Thanks, y'all.
Dead Poet’s Society is a must watch for Robin Williams fans. I think it’s his first role in a drama. It brilliant!
“Dead Poets Society”, “Patch Adams”, and “Awakenings” are great Robin Williams movies.
The "fart" monologue was improvised by Robin. You can see the camer shake a bit - from the cameraman laughing.
Is that true? haha I can imagine, because Matt's uncontrollable laughter looked so damn genuine haha
@willvr4 yes they just kept rolling.
"Dead Poets Society", "The Fisher King", "The World According to Garp" 3 great Robin Williams films
Great reaction like always, love this movie and one of the things I like best about the script is that Robin Williams calls him "sport" or "chief" or some other somewhat nickname. But at the end he calls him "son". Reflects the journey the two of them took together. There are some fun-facts about it. The story about his wife farting was also improvised by Robin, Matt's laughing was genuine and if you look closely you can see the camera operator shaking too. Robin also improvised the very last line of the movie. "Son of a bitch. Stole my line."
Scary when you realise that Matt & Ben wrote this classic when they were only 22 and when his performance was recognised by the Academy, Robin referenced their age during his acceptance words. The whole speech is one of the best Oscar moments ever, you can feel the love in the room for Robin, especially from the host Billy Crystal, his old friend from the very early days of trying to make it in showbiz. It wasn't polite applause from his peers - it was genuine love for a man who had brought so much joy & laughter but was also capable of touching performances like this. Wonderful. The award and speech are on YT, do try and watch. Keep up the good work.
Will: "Fuck ewe."
Sean: "You're the shepherd."
Pudgey I feel you, the OG Jumanji was a staple of my childhood.
Yes to more 90s movies!! Saw a list of movies released in 93-94 a while back and what was really striking was the diversity! So I think you would enjoy it alot
One of the finest films of the 90's, which is saying something, because there are TONS of great films from that decade.
You guys need to do “Good Morning, Vietnam!” which is Robin Williams in absolute peak form.
Sean built the trust with Will. Mirrored his language and attitude.
This is my favorite movie ever! So happy you all reacted to it. RIP Robin Williams❤️
It's funny to think the guy who played Professor Lambeau also played Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in Dune. (Stellan Skarsgård)
90s and early 2000s was definitely one of the best eras for movies and tv!!!! great review guys!
I've seen this movie countless times (first time when it came out in theatres) and I just cried all over again. Amazing reaction, thank you guys so much! 🥰❤
The Talented Mr Ripley is Matt Damon as you've never seen him before. Chilling!
This and Dead Poets Society are my fav Robin Williams movies
Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire?
I'm going to suggest, in the first fight, they were not sticking up for the girl. That was Will paying back his kindergarten grudge.
25:19 Fun fact: This isn't Matt Damon acting. This is him genuinely breaking down in laughter from Robin Williams improving.
The fact that you consider RW's iconic role to be Flubber is a travesty. Watch Good Morning, Vietnam and Dead Poet's Society.
It's their age. As a 90s child from the UK Flubber was definitely the number 1 growing up hahaha
I'd say his iconic role is Mork, but definitely not his best.
“It’s NOT your fault.” is analogous to each wall/mask Will Hunting put in to survive. He had several to hide the pain of guilt, rage, fear, and shame. Every time Williams says it, he shatters a wall/mask. We can see what it took to get to the real Will.
I somewhat relate a little to him. When you are in a particular situation, sometimes a front is the one thing you need to survive. Of course, I am neither a genius nor a fighter, but I remember growing up with tough people. Many became Hells Angels, tough motherF. My older brother’s best friends became Angels. You learn to show no fear as not to show any weakness. I remember fighting a lot in Elementary school; then, I had a reputation throughout High School for not fuck too much with me. As I was very small, I had to show strength and fierceness during my childhood. I recently discovered I have Asperger’s also, which was challenging in itself.
Also, I preach to people all the time why later 90s and early 2000s cinema is far superior than any other era…
There are some great ones during that time period but many from the black and white era are awesome movies as well. Casablanca for one. Possibly the best movie ever made.
One of my favorite in the feels movies that no one knows about is called "Into the Wild". Highly recommended.
I'm not crying you are.
I've seen a few different reactions to this movie but this is probably one of the best. Your editing is perfect, your appreciation lovely and your insights were fun and spot on. Thank you for helping me pass an enjoyable hour out here driving truck. 😎👍
This is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. The bench scene is one of the greatest monologues in any movie ever. Absolutely brilliant.
This is my first date with my high school sweetheart. 20 years later no longer, but good memories and kids.
I've missed you guys! Glad you're reacting to this!
♥️
The writing hits hard, rings true, and leaves you feeling like you just learned some important life lessons. I only wish more movies could be this deep and this good.
This movie was honestly one of those special ones that stuck with me growing up. I was sabotaging every close relationship exactly for the same reasons as Will and it taught me to open up..I'm now in an amazing relationship(we still fight and bicker thought) and I can wholeheartedly say that it is thanks to this gem of a movie!
This movie has a very precious spot in my heart. I had some real though years of my life and I had a very lucky time in my life with my therapist too. I didn't know at that time but she saved my life, and the best thing is that I showed this movie to her and the last conversation we had I was so lost and angry with her. Few months later I figured that out and I was so grateful and now things are better because of her help. Never been so vulnerable with someone before and I really appreciate on how beautiful this is and why this is so meaningful and inspiring to me and to a lot of people struggling in life. Recommend this to a friend and family members because it's worth it. Takes a lot of time to get there but please don't give up, you can not only survive but also be saved no matter how heavy and impossible that could seem.
Thank you guys for reacting to this beautiful story. I see a lot of myself in Will and I'm sure others can too.
That last scene where we see Will's car going after what he wants and face it with bravery, whatever that could be is so inspiring. Nowadays I'm also driving my car taking that same road to my dreams. Don't know what will come out later but it doesn't matter. We are all destined to take that road.
"Dead Poets Society" and "Awakenings" are both great Robin Williams movies if you decide to react to some of his performances.
Stellan Skarsgard is the math professor, he is an incredible actor. You may also recognize him from Pirates, he played Bootstrap Bill. He is also in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a great film trilogy you could check out as well.
RIP to the legend Robin Williams, truly one of a kind. You should watch Dead Poets Society, along the same lines as this one and so good.
"dead poet's society"is another heart-warming Robin Williams drama
the first time I saw this film was on a plane flight back home to my country of origin, which I haven't visited since leaving 15 years ago. Till this day the only thing I remember during that trip was this movie.
Glad you guys watched this one; it's my all-time favourite movie & was also made the year I was born
GWH is one of my all time favourites. I remember watching it as a kid and even now It still hits the same everytime
1:03:20 ... if you're going to bail someone out of jail, it really should come with strings attached, because otherwise you lose your bail money. We start the movie with Will, so there's a bias of knowing him, but realistically the professor took a huge chance on a repeat offender, in jail for a violent crime, just so he could show a lost boy a better path in life. It's easy to dismiss him because Robin Williams is so great, but the professor is doing a good and noble thing in and of itself (and one of the "strings" attached is that he does REQUIRE him to go to therapy)
Oh my... Spartan garners my utmost respect, I had a feeling since the first time I saw you guys, but to get a genuine verbal and visual expression a side of himself that is so meaningful and with such comfortable candor... yeah, Spartan, you are the matching piece of the puzzle that fits with Pudgey, and I wish you both the very best going forward.
Thanks you guys for sharing with us.
once you go down the "good movie" rabbit hole pre 2000, you'll never stop. The sheer amount of incredible movies is endless. Great reaction.
Just a great character movie with fantastic actors and phenomenal writing. We just don't get many movies like this anymore.
I can't even count how many times I've watched this movie. It's my favorite of all time. It's such an emotional roller coaster and funny at the same time.
Now you understand why this movie beat out the other awesome action movies. This is a must watch movie for every person. Amazing acting, writing, music, etc.
Hey Pudgey, you mentioned how you could listen to Robin Williams talk all day long. He's one of your favorite actors with classics like Jumanji and Ms. Doubtfire. -------- Robin Williams has the ability to look happy and smiling but there is an ever-present sadness in his eyes. -------- Funny thing is he's one of the greatest comedians that ever lived, as well as one of the greatest dramatic actors in movie history, and could switch between them both flawlessly. -------- Sad to say that sadness you see in his eyes does catch up with him in real life. R.I.P Robin Williams. -------- I implore you to check out more of his classic movies, like Dead Poet's Society, Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come, Good Morning Vietnam and many more.
This instantly became one of my favorite films all time.
-a recent film in the same vein of good will hunting that you might like is “the holdovers” that came out last year
it still amazes me, that Matt and Ben _wrote_ this. they were practically kids! and this is definitely my favorite, of all of Williams's performances
One of my favorite movies. It hits so hard, and it’s so beautiful… Robin Williams is forever the GOAT. One of the most tragic celebrity losses ever. 😢
So many wonderful movies in this era. Shawshank Redemption (1994) with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is, imho, the best drama ever made, and The Fugitive (1993) with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones is the best action/thriller ever made. It was a great time to be alive.
You MUST watch Dead Poets Society if you want another amazing Robin Williams movie. Great reaction btw
One of my favourite movies! Thanks for reacting, guys. ♡
The good ones are always worth rewatching. That's why people like me like reaction videos :)
I like it when reactors do a 2nd view reaction because they know what's coming up and are already invested in those classic moments.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck both won Oscars for this movie, and Ben Affleck won another for Argo in 2013. Matt Damon was nominated four other times for Oscars, including for Manchester By the Sea in 2016, which won Casey Affleck his first Oscar (Morgan O'Mally in Good Will Hunting). Minnie Driver was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscar and won the London Film Critics Circle Award for this movie, as well.
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, this is such a unique storyline, it's so very unique - an abused genius, traumatized and broken needs to find his deep needed healing from grief and redemption. ------- Skylar can't save him. ------- Chuck can't save him. He has built up so many defense mechanisms that he couldn't let his guard down with his friends, scientific peers, or the woman he wanted to love. ------- He can't be honest and transparent with anybody. --------- Sean has to break him down and let him expose himself and fix himself from within for the real breakthrough to happen. WOAH.
Wholesome perfection. You could name it better. One of the greatest movies ever. 🥰
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, you picked up on it well to understand Will Hunting's point of view when it comes to love and relationships because you seek love and companionship. ---------- Will Hunting is super smart and can dissect any academic subject matter but runs away from love and human connections. ---------- The only people he trusts are Chuck (Ben Affleck) and eventually Sean (Robin Williams)
I understand never having seen it as you are young but I think my jaw hit the floor when you said you had never even heard of it.
It’s a masterpiece. Arguably one of the best movies ever. I don’t know if you guys noticed that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote this movie. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon became the youngest people ever to win the academy award for best original screen play. An honor they still hold to this day. Robin Williams won for best supporting actor.
Robin Williams best roles are his dramatic roles. You need to watch “Dead Poets Society” and “Good morning Vietnam”
Great reaction guys!
I'm 38 years old and have lived with cronic depression since i was like 12, and I watch this movie once a year, It is very calming for the soul. To sit at the bench from the movie is on the bucket list. Rest in peace dear Robin Williams❤
OMG finally!! One of the greatest movies
When one movie has 3-4 VERY memorable 1 on 1 conversations that are extremely powerful. The bench became a makeshift memorial for a while when people found out about the passing of Williams. Both Matt and Ben have natural Boston accents since they are from there, so it makes it so authentic. Should watching Robin Williams & Robert De Niro in Awakenings. It's based on true events. It's another movie where Williams plays a subdued character. I also recommend Good Morning Vietnam. 1957 12 Angry Men. If you want all dialogue, this is the movie for you. It's a courtroom drama that takes place 98% in one room. I consider it one of the best written movies of all time.
FYI: The sandwich scene is Ben Affleck and his little brother Casey Affleck
Another Robin Williams movie you should react to ... "Awakenings". It is the true story of a major breakthrough in psychiatric treatment when the role of L-DOPA was discovered as a miracle drug for the Parkinsonian-like catatonic state. Again ... a real story ... and one of the GREAT examples of Robin Williams abilities as an actor.
I will join others in recommending The Dead Poets Society. You will love it! My second favorite Robin Williams film.
I cry every time I watch this it’s a beautiful movie.
