The son without a father finds a father without a son. This film was perfect
Well that's some good writing
This is amazing man
Absolutely
A masterly description of and incredible film in one sentence. Bravo! Can you help with string theory?
Wordsmiths are seldom numerate…
For those of you who keep coming back to this clip, it’s not your fault.

I don't get this. Care to share some context? I'm only here cuz of Stewie and Brian. 😅
I'm not even American, I'm Polish. My dad was forced to fight in the Soviet Army, he was a good man that was broken. He tried his best, but his life was so terrible that he became an alcoholic. When I was learning English, by some miracle, this was the first movie I saw. I went to my dad and told him exactly this: "It's not your fault". He broke down, and so did I. I owe a lot to this movie, like many people probably do. I will always love Robin for what he gave me, a poor kid from Poland.
That's a beautiful story down there
Robin helped the kid in this movie, what's more amazing is he ended up helping some polish guy and his dad, God bless you Robin.
Wow..amazing story
So many take on guilt. If we are fortunate to not be so hurt...we should reach out and listen to them. In Australia we greet "how are ya going?". Then we don't wait for an answer. Next time just ask "how are you doing?" Although you can predict what they'll say, don't give up. Invite them to open a little.. you could save a life! Or stop someone beating on their partner. Let them get it off their chest. They will absolutely love respect you for it.
That's powerful! Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your father are doing well.
he cries so realistically it´s impossible not to empathize
Harom Farkas it’s cuz someone was squeezing his nuts

Daywalker the person squeezing my nutz

Dear Mr. Williams. It's not your fault either. Sincerely, every depressed person you have made laugh. Thank you for pulling so many away from the ledge so many times.
Your comment should have 8 billion likes.
@@moonlitme thank you. I just wish Mr. Williams had reached out first. He is one of the few who don't show signs prior to suicide that I know of. And if he did reach out for help I hope whoever ignored the cry for help carries it on their conscience forever. Looking back I know that I did to at least 6 friends or family prior to cutting my wrist. I was young and thought it was a guaranteed thing. It wasn't. Very close. But for some reason it just wasn't my time. The hardest thing about surviving is explaining why I have a bad scar across my wrist to my kids. And the looks from strangers as they know what it symbolizes. Still depressed. But I have 2 daughters who wouldnt be here if I had succeeded.
@mikesmith anyone who has seen the other side of an attempt feels that pain that cant be described with any words. I too remember the final straws and desperate attempts to multiple people that went unheard or unrecognized. For me it was a slice of being glad death didn't take me and another shot to "get it right" but also a deep soul crushing knowing that in my darkest moments I will never belong to anyone who cares enough to stop me and a dash of satisfaction knowing I was right about everything. My pain is 100 percent valid, the world is a truly a fucked up place, and that there really are people in this world that have no one and I mean NO ONE. Hoping life changes my mind but 4 decades of life experience has proven otherwise.
@@tiffb1300 I fully understand what it feels like to be completely alone. The one thing that I can say is I know neither you or I are. We both know what it's like to go over how in our heads and wishing anyone would just tell us we matter. I may never know you, but I know you better than most and I still care about you. If anything having mental health issues means you're not alone ever. We're out here and sometimes all we have is we're not alone with our struggles.
He may have suffered from depression in his lifetime, but that’s not why he committed suicide. He had Lewy body dementia, a swift neurodegenerative disease I don’t think anyone would want to live through until the end. I’m sorry you’re suffering with depression though, hope you’re doing well.
Those were the tears of a lifetime, the sobs of a little boy desperate for the love of a father. Will found Sean. Beautiful.
Funny Thing Is My Name Happens To Be Sean Too
This scene makes me cry every single time. It goes beyond the context of his abuse. I remember hearing this for the first time when I was 19 and had just lost my mom to a brutal fight with cancer, and it hit me in just the way it needed to. We blame ourselves for a lot of things, and I think a lot of us are waiting for someone to come around and let us know that it’s not our fault.
Don't attention seek.
@@aarons6935?
@@aarons6935? ur comment makes no sense
@@aarons6935 Your autism is showing.
@@ShanBojackop has never been abused and is belittling victims of abuse by pretending like losing a loved one is on par with psychological and physical abuse. If you’ve never been abused you can’t understand and you shouldn’t pretend like you do for clout. It’s cool that they want to share but a little self deprecation would go a long way.
I swear if Robin Williams looked at me like that I would break down crying like a child too. He has the most humane, genuine, kind eyes I've seen.
Same. He had a good heart, clear eyes and we are worse off without him.
@Korniljus Popaj sadly the concept of the kingdom of heaven can’t claim him due to the way he went, but he sure did deserve better.
@Korniljus Popaj it’s tough to say man, but yes. The way they found him heavily suggests that he committed suicide. Suicide is a big nono in religion that pretty much blocks entry to heaven for anyone.
@Korniljus Popaj heaven is purely a religious concept. I follow up on this by saying that this rule also counts for every major abrahamic religion out there. I have yet to find a religion that rewards good people, who come upon such crossroads and make the choice to end themselves.
@Korniljus Popaj I’d love for that to be the case, but we can only go with the scriptures if we follow what we see as god. Good people get punished for meeting shitty circumstances in their life. It is what it is and it’s fucked up, but what can you do about it? Just invent a new religion with a new god? It don’t really work like that chief…
This movie shall not be touched or remade for eternity
Some idiot will try.
They should make a girl version with Leslie Jones and Ariana Grande!
Not possible. But now that you bring it up, imagine this scene in a play in front of a live audience, it could be a life changing experience.
@@CaptainCocaine
...
No.
Disney will try, they remake everything
I remember Mrs. Howard, my 4th grade teacher told me, “it’s not your fault”, many years ago. I cried uncontrollably like a baby. Things were not great at home.
I’ve never told anyone this before. Thank you Mrs Howard
All these years later I still don’t believe it though. Years of anxiety and depression, I still can’t escape it.
Thank you for showing people they're not alone. And you are not alone too. It's not your fault. It's not your fault, I promise. Please, try to belive me. It has never been your fault.
Never will
it's not ur fault for u.........
just as it was not my fault for me❤
I go back to that clip to hear again what I never heard. That validation is so important, and Matt Damon played it perfectly. Thanks to Mrs. Howard you weren't alone. She got you. That's really good.
Maybe you don't have to escape it. Maybe, as I'm trying to learn, you can use your experience to help other people.
One of the most tear inducing scenes I've ever seen Robin was a national treasure
I'd say he was an international treasure even.
@@SmallFaerieOMG yes, we love him in Russia. 😢
Good luck finding a therapist this good.
wallymarcel1 ‘cause 99% of them are fucking hacks.
Id pay extra
I agree
the good ones are out there. trust me its the reason why im still alive to this day
@@laxale I understand what you're saying. Find a therapist that has what you are looking for. If you are looking to stop suffering, look for a therapist/coach/counselor that is genuinely happy, because a person can only give away what they have inside. Your current therapist probably pushes you to think about your pain more, but that's not where the solution is. I'd be glad to talk a bit more about this with you if you'd like to. I hope the best for you
He cries like someone who has wanted to cry about a lot of things but was just saving up for one big cry.
That was me with my girlfriend. I never show emotion in front of anyone, never cried, cause other people in the past just didn’t give a shit, so I turned into a rock. Eventually she got me to open up and I just broke down like this. Felt like a massive weight had been lifted off me. The thing with us guys is we think crying shows weakness but believe me it does your body a shitload of good if you let it all out once in a while.
Michael Cain Good to hear that bro, it is such a nice feeling to have someone that you can open up to
@@michaelcain721 you don't even know you want to cry about these things good therapists really have to see through your cold exterior and find the place that needs to be yanked out of you.
For me it was very unexpected when I had to bring up how my mother reverted back to a childlike state a couple of times in her psychotic breakdown when I was a child. We just unconsciously hide the significance of these events from ourselves but they never go away and control your life insidiously.
This is exactly what it sounded like when I cried to my mom like 15 years ago, haven’t really cried since, never really cried before that. It all just came out that one time. Felt good.
A lot of guys save up their tears for one big blow, trust me I do the same thing will does when I get really upset, and Matt Damon captures this perfectly
Humanity would be saved if we all could hug Robin Williams when our lives got rough
My dad was really hard on me. He beat the living crap out of me at the drop of a dime when I was growing up. Pretty bad too. Broken arm, ribs and a cracked head to say the least. I always thought it was because I was being bad, fighting at school or doing rambunctious things. I've forgiven him and we have a great relationship nowadays. Watching this clip helped me realize I was just a fucking kid. It wasn't my fault. But I forgive him. And weirdly in some ways I thank him. I have 5 children (mostly all grown up, I'm 47) and I've never raised my hand to any of them. Sometime bad things can be used for good things. He taught me what not to do.
Must take real maturity and love to forgive him. I have nothing but love for you and hope you know you are special and loved
The best teaches are the worst ones!!!!!!!
Your comment is beautiful, you are a good man to forgive and keep loving❤
I’m so proud of you! Wish the best for you and your family 🥰
He cried like a child who’d been kept from crying for a long, long time.
You learn to cry silently so no one notices
He cried like a man who had always felt forbidden from crying.
@@nordinreecendo512 yes
Sweet relief
Big boys don’t cry.
The Kids been waiting his entire life for someone to tell him it wasn't his fault.
Nah he’s heard it a million times. He’s been waiting his whole life to hear someone say it and actually mean it. Usually it’s a throwaway line that allows them to dismiss your trauma without engaging.
Me too
That's why he cried like a little child: I think they had him do that deliberately. They wanted him to produce a cry like it had been stifled, sealed, and welled up inside him by trauma since childhood. Very moving, and a very difficult emotion for Matt Damon to have tapped into.
My thoughts exactly. He just needed permission from someone who cares about him.
He was triggered into emotional catharsis because they’d spent months developing trust
And the follow dialog is so much needed after this scene.
"This doesn't violate the doctor patient relationship does it?"
"Only if you grab my ass."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always like the expression on Sean's face during the hug. He looks half sad and half happy that Will is finally letting it all out because he knows he needed to. Great movie.
The saddest bit is when he says “don’t fuck with me, NOT YOU”. He likes him so much and the thought of this man laughing at him was too much to bear.
Can’t believe I didn’t hear him say it until you mentioned it.
Thats crazy, I always thought he said "I'm not you" instead of "not you"
@@danjin2886 that’s equally heartbreaking tho bc he always felt like he had to hide his past, especially from skylar
I wouldn’t even say it was Sean’s potentially laughing at him- this was more so Will getting close to Sean and seeing Sean as a father figure, and Will didn’t want to get close to Sean because everyone he gets close to or opens up to- inevitably lets him down. Will deals with people from a distance to protect his heart and emotions. Getting close to Sean and pouring out that emotion was an obvious risk because Will would get attached to Sean, and Sean could just abandon Will like everyone else or his father did. Hence “Not YOU”. He literally felt Sean getting closer to him.
in my opinion that "not you" is the key line of the whole movie
Imagine being 24 and writing this masterpiece. Matt Damon will always be my favorite actor.
He’s Jason Bourne
Yes, Matt was 24 and Ben was 22 when they wrote it, but filmed it finally when Matt was 27 and Ben was 25.
Maaatt Daaayyyymmoonnn
I would also say a huge well done to Gus Van Sant for interpreting it in such an emotive way. Great directing there.
He was able to write this masterpiece at 24 , you know why? Because my boy's wicked smaht
I am a victim of emotional abuse. I was led to believe for so long that it was my fault. This scene always comes to mind to reassure me.
It's Not Your Fault
How did this happen though? How can someone make you believe its your fault? In my mind this is no sense im sorry i dont understand. Is it because lack of self esteem?
Hope you find peace❤
@@Psychedelic430it's easy to believe and get convinced of someone who you look up to as a hero, especially when you are young and don't know better
@@ZiziCPH i guess it depends on the person. I never took anybody words that serious , i just didnt care at all. High levels of EQ play a huge role on this matter too.
What really sells this for me is the fact that both Williams and Damon manage to convey the akwardsness or clumsiness that is often there when you take a risk and dare to breach relationel borders we all put up to get closer to another human. Look at Williams when he first decides to tell that "all of that shit" in his journal is not his fault. He's not over confident and super smooth. He's nervous. He knows that he is takikg a chance here, and it's all conveyed with a sublime sublety in his voice and eyes. Meanwhile, Damon is doing an excellent job playing the boy who's still very much using defensive mechanisms to ward off attempts at talking about him.
I'm a psychologist and a trained therapist, and this is the most accurate portrayal of situations like this I have ever seen.
I wish Robin Williams had a therapist as good as himself in this movie in real life.
He didn't kill himself bc he was mentally weak. He had an incurable brain disease which would leave him in a terrible vegetative state. Know what ur saying before u speak of someone.
@@mikemcgrath6150 Thanks for the correction. But didn't he also have a serious depression?
@@asresbenayalew3092 maybe as much as anyone, I dont know, but he ended his life bc of this disease and what was facing him bc of it.
Yeah correct because everyone needs their own therapist. The close people that can motivate and be with him. Sometimes we cant really understand ourselves ,only Allah understand us completely. That's why if we have any troubles or any great things in our life, come back to HIM. People keep ignoring this part of me time with your Creator. As a slave to your God, Monolog and talk to HIM. Allah knows u very well. and then , as a human.. you have to talk to another human to express your feelings and to feel accepted by other human. It is what we call as self love. ❤
@Fizza T He still had severe depression, it was the reason he turned to comedy - he wanted to make other people happy so they didn't have to experience what he was experiencing. I don't know if he had depression towards the end of his life but he surely deserved a good therapist if it could have helped him out of it despite how it all ended.
Everytime he says "it's not your fault," it feels like he is breaking the walls that Will put up. Hence, why Will has a different reaction everytime he repeats it.
nice observation
@@fmr3944 Thanks.
Thought this too
Everytime his face, great acting.
Exactly
Bro both these guys put on a masterclass here, it’s so raw it doesn’t feel like acting. When Robin says “look at me son.” I got chills. & Matt’s face how he tries to brush it off as if it’s not a big deal. Wow. Incredible.
I just cried watching this. I recently had to move back into my dads house due to me losing my job in circumstances that I couldn't control and I remember now why I wanted to move out of this place so badly the constant verbal abuse and him being drunk every night I tried to do a nice thing because I had the day free and clean the whole house and as soon as he came home I was called lazy and a failure. I repeat those types of sayings my dad say to me to myself every night while I try to sleep and I often stay up for hours resenting myself. I just wanted some sort of adult figure in my life to come help me out and support me. My mother wouldn't come to my birthday but would come to my sisters ones and often spent more time to them growing up. This part of the movie just depicts what I want in life so badly, just some sort of love from somebody some sort of support I give up.
Hey bro, you ain't alone in this ❤
You are definitely not alone, and I can tell you I know now you feel because of personal, direct experience in this department.
When you smile, it's fake. When you cry, it's true. Sometimes, crying wholeheartedly is good for one's mental wellbeing. It offers a resolution, a new start if you say. If you resent yourself for whatever your past is, I have been through counseling and had the fortune of meeting a good one. It helped me where I had not stepped into it for years of having some stubborn pride, that I can overcome on my own, but couldn't. Add to that factor, that the ones who would become villains in my story were also my heroes. So, I was reluctant to speak. Today, I can talk about this as an objective truth and understood my role in it was part of a chain that I had to break.
I am brave by choice today, for every single decision I make. Every single time, I beat a sucidial thought, is because I want to live. Know that even a thought of a suicide comes from the inherent instinct of wanting to cherish your own life and something in your life is preventing from cherishing that. You can break your chains as well.
I am not saying counselling is the option, but it's one. Having genuine and accountable people around you can also slowly change. People who really care to listen every "dragging" (no offense, as I tend to be dragging myself) detail you might tell. Just know that some fights are meant to be fought as a species rather than an individual. So, taking help from others is not a weakness.
There are many ways. I found this route. And, to find yours, and the resources you need, I wish you the best.
I’m so sorry, man, it’s not your fault, your father and your mother, they are never your parents, I’m sorry for everything that happened, if I was in your shoes, I would definitely write them out of my life, and I would never see or talk to them again, f*** them and if you were my son, I would love you dearly than the one who calls himself a father, I’ll keep you in my thoughts, never forget that, okay?, love you my friend.
“Hey Will...look at me son.”
Will most likely never had a man call him ‘son’ like that before. The passion and love in Sean’s voice broke him.

The way Will stares at the folder as he recalls all the traumas. Sean realizes he finally has a moment to take down Will's guard, so he puts the folder down, squares up with Will, and plants his feet. He's ready for whatever emotions he's about to force Will to confront.
Such a powerful scene......A moment of silence for Robin Williams, one of the greatest actors ever lived.
Ahs Oei Moment of peace in the eye of Robin Williams
Ahs Oei "nvm I just cried"
Ahs Oei god rest his soul 😢😢😢😢😔😔😔😔
His name is Will Hunting... the clue is in the title. What on Earth are you talking about?!
Ahs Oei, "such a powerful scene." do u work for the E channel or something ? STFU.
This scene is so important because a lot of people scoff when someone says that their abuse isn't their fault, like "yeah, I know it's not my fault", but then they realize that they've subconsciously been placing the blame on themselves. Sometimes, we have toxic thoughts that we don't even realize are occupying our minds.
It's not your fault, it's mine
this
Exactly. On surface level it’s “yea I know my abusers were shit” but then it sets in that “I was just a kid, I didn’t do anything”. Such a powerful scene
@@hauntedbylight To my mind, it is even more fundamental. Will's inner child had learned to seal up any true feelings. Deeply hurt feelings are probably the most painful, lasting part about surviving abuse. You learn to stop feeling as much as possible just to survive the psychological turmoil and confusion. In this scene, Will finally let those hurt feelings out, and that is why his sobs were that of a little child.
So powerfully moving.
Well said man.
After years of my mom blaming me for divorcing my dad, gaslighting me, and now living with PTSD and depression as an adult, I watch this and cry one out. It was never my fault.
There's a reason Matt was nominated for an Oscar for this role. And there's a reason why he's considered to have one of the most amazing and realistic cries in Hollywood. The way he's so authentic, and just good...
When Robin Williams said "it's not your fault." I've really felt it, after being abused as teenager this scene speaks volumes to me. Miss you Robin. You were a great human being.
You only knew him as an actor.
@@jonathanmolina1428 and you must know someone personally to feel sad about them not being alive anymore? if that's a rule, where's it written?
me too, i also experience childhood trauma and i cannot begin to explain how this movie made me cry during this scene for the first time... in that moment this movie was top 3
Me and my mom both got abused by a piece of shit when I was a kid! We ended up leaving and that guy went on to kill a woman! He's rotting in jail now! It's not your fault indeed.
I’m pretty sure that’s why most of us are here. I’m not glad it happened, but glad we’re not alone.
They both deserved awards for their acting in this scene. Nothing overdone, no pretense, no exaggeration, just genuine, vulnerable, raw, human emotions.
Ben affleck and Matt damon wrote this scene themselves and they were just kids robin williams was given one line to say and everything else was improvised by him and that line was “I got to send this to the courts”

@@thomasconnearney4849 That's not true most of this scene was in the script
That little cry before he lets it out is so realistic. Very well done acting
A teacher of mine introduced me to this movie and it immediately took a place in my heart. Anyone who isn’t sure if they’d like this movie should watch it regardless. It’s heartbreaking and healing at the same time

Honestly, I felt Diamond's cry was still acting. He was trying, but still acting.
@@metal87power Bro he was crying with all his heart out. This was actually the best part of this scene. Very hard to pull for any actors.
Bullshit
The brilliance of this writing. Sean not hanging "it's not your fault" on a single beat. To know abuse, know the damage it does, and know that abuse victims have subconsciously put a wall up to that phrase when used in passing. Use it as a pick to chisel the wall away and get to Will.
Damon and Affleck knowing this topic enough to know how real this has to be. It's music, how they formed this scene.
Don't forget Robin Willaims giving the most realistic compassionate portrayal of a Therapist
I thought Robin Williams was so perfect as the therapist.
"It's not your fault" when I told the first person ever in my entire life, nearly 40 years of not saying anything to anyone about it, was exactly what broke that wall down for me, just as you stated. That person set me free by saying it in a way that I somehow finally "heard" it. That person saved my soul. My life. They opened up a door for me and helped me walk through it. I was finally seen. I was finally heard. I could finally begin to break free.
I agree. This was artfully written, and Robin Williams (Sean) played that character in the most brilliant, truthful way.
@SpitsworthThere are a lot of people who do amazing things in their 20s. You know Attack On Titan. The writer, Hajime Isayama, was only 23 when it started serialization.
You know, Matt Damon was 16 and he wrote the script , together with his friend ben Affleck (they went to the same school but Affleck was one or two years older). And won an Oscar for best original script, together with many other awards !!! At 16, i was playing soccer with my schoolmates...☹️
I love this scene. Robin, you absolutely deserved the academy award for this. Matt, you are no slouch either.
This is often the kind of treatment we yearn for when we feel grief for all we have lost in our past... Warm, gentle, compassionate words and human connection.
The zoom on Sean’s Eyes, as he knows he finally got to him. He’s finally made a significant impact on this kid. What a hauntingly beautiful mixture of happiness and sadness
Very well put.. 👍👍
Thats right. When they hug and we see Sean's joyfull eyes its because he felt so proud and fulfilled with his belief that love and understanding conquers anything and anyone, regardless of how tough and hard anyone thinks they are. He was so happy he helped will and that he proved love is allways the awnser.

From your lips to god’s ears ❤️
I went in a circle now im back at 1
It's brilliant how the flashback of the drunk dad walking up the stairs could be Will's dad or Sean's dad. In fact in could be anyone's drunken father, the proverbial wife beater, that wounded monster, coming up that dark and dusty staircase.
Great catch.
exactly. it's put together so nicely. the viewer could think it's will's dad cus of the camera panning in on his head during the beginning. but the viewer could also think it's sean's dad cus of the fact that he started the talk about his drunk dad. fucking amazing work by the director. it creates a flair of mystery which makes YOU think about the scene, and not let it just happen.
@@zachhayes9512 The ex-wife that molested your children, the agonizing pain of fighting the uphill battle against a system the remains preferable to women even in spite of their abuse against your own flesh and blood, the realization of your own mother being so dysfunctional while figuring out the abuses you suffered as a child came from those that were supposed to be your protectors...
I hear you loud and clear, and I hope in response you understand there is no gender when it comes to abuse.
my dad used to be an alcoholic, he’s been sober for 5 years now. I’m just so lucky that he wasn’t abusive when he drank.
with my dad, it was him walking down the hall...me hiding under the bed.
This is probably my favorite scene of all time. The way Matt Damon physically says no when he says "I know" is just amazing. Everytime he says "I know" he winces and looks away, becuase hes lying. Perfect acting. I tear up every time he puts his hands in face and let's out that first cry, you can hear all the pain finally escaping from the bottle of his mind.
zerocool Precisely
River Rasmussen its just a movie its not real
Wow
“Pain escaping from the bottle” what a powerful way of putting it
Matt Damon was also bullied and abused in his school days that,s why it looks that he acted here naturally
@@N12Gautam the movie is portraying something that is very real and happens every day
2 incredible actors. Just perfection in this scene.
Will finally had someone who genuinely cared about him and his feelings. Someone who didn’t just give up on him but reassured over and over again even when Will was harsh. This overall premise of this movie is beautiful. You can be all sorts of things, smart, funny, athletic, beautiful etc. but if you’re not a understanding and empathetic person, what good does everything else bring?
so many men need a man like this in their life
LordSos91 Amen to that
and so many men dont and will commit suicide because of the lack of one.
Yes
you mean ones that kill themselves? Robin was many things...great comedian...great actor...great help to our soldiers over in the field. What he wasn't good at was showing his own pain and asking for help. He was great at a lot of things, living wasn't one of them and I get it...but he could have used his disease as a speaking platform to raise awareness instead of hanging himself in a closet.
LordSos91 I'm a woman, but yh, I agree and god, hope if need be, that they find them.
Hearing him cry is the most real Hollywood acting I’ve ever seen. Bar none.
The only one that beats this cry is Midsommars.
You should watch First Blood
@@PlasmidJunkie agreed. Stallone gets a bum rap.
He was amazing in first blood.
@@PlasmidJunkie that fucking scene DESTROYS ME. the guy who is Rambo's superior was in WW2 and had his own issues with dealing with the war afterwards. You can see it in his eyes the pain both of them feel. It's palpable.
@@rakuencallisto Yeah, it's especially heart wrenching for someone who has ptsd. Incredible scene tho
Honestly, one of the most powerful moments in cinematic history. I cry every time.
I like how after he released his emotions, he is just riding train home looking all peaceful because he has come to terms with his awful past experiences as a boy. I guess that’s why people sleep so well after crying, it’s the content peace that settles in after releasing emotional burden. Really beautiful scene👍
Even after being told "It's not your fault" again and again, Will still says "I'm so sorry" while breaking down crying. Absolutely heartwrenching, and reminiscent of real sufferers of abuse.
Nice wrench pun
What was Will
Sorry about!?
@@maloperverso8118 Everything.
@@maloperverso8118abusers usually gaslight their victims. From experience, the physical stuff is easier to deal with than the emotional abuse. Most people see the pics of his bruises and they think that’s the worst part of it, it’s not, it’s not even close.
@@maloperverso8118 He still blames himself for the abuse. That's what many survivors do for a number of reasons.
funny how the smallest of words make the biggest impact
Peace&Love yeah, I remember I consoled a friend after her sister passed away, I forgot it because it's secomd nature for me do that but she still remembers after 3 or 4 years
All words are small if you compare them to the sky
What's important is to create meaning.
(See my comment above)
I agree, the part when he says “Fuck them, okay?”
There were many steps involved that led up to this scene even being possible. Once Will knew Sean had been abused like him he fully let his guard down. Sean then told him what he needed to hear so that he doesn't waste his potential like he did. Excellent movie i loved this scene
I don’t even come CLOSE to crying at a sad movie. This is the only movie which has made me come close to crying because this scene is just THAT cathartic. Love it so much
I never got abused by my parents, but I got bullied in school, and this scene still hits for me. Not trying to equate, just throwing that out there for anyone else that might feel similarly; psycho abuse can be powerful too, it's not petty. Way too many people never got to know me before I realized all of the ice on my shoulders
This moment must be truly special for Matt now, all these years later...
Bruh, come on you can’t be that thick that you didn’t know what they meant.
@@andrewpearce7936 what? Did something happen to Matt?
@@mgiantsxlvi5209 ... the passing of Robin Williams maybe
@@williamjaeger9865 maybe at least remembering it
@@watchcitydog i‘m not sure if i‘m right but wasn‘t matt damon one of the first guys that tried to seperate himself from that monster weinstein?
I like how Will goes from more and more defensive at each “It’s not your fault” to fully embracing Sean at the last one. Why? Because right there his defensive shield just broke.
I also like how real the crying sounds. If anyone ever has doubts about Matt Damon as an actor, just show them this clip right here to shut them up.
Thanks but I'd already seen Deadpool 2 and eagle-eyed him..or should I say 'eagle-eared' him.
Yes, Matt Bourne Will is a helluva actor and human.
the sobs were insanely well done, heart wrenching jfc
even as it progresses how his facial expressions change ever so slightly but enough to pick up on, hes a brilliant actor
something tells me that wasnt acting and he dealt with something similar in his own life so there was no need to fabricate anything
I just watched this movie, and I got to say that scene felt extremely real.
my heart goes out to all who've gone through some shit during their childhood and now trying to get things back on track.. You got this Kings and Queens!
Robin Williams performance wasn't just the best supporting acting performance of that year, it's really one of the best overall of the entire 90's. It's just staggering how well he nailed this part in every possible way.
Whether is was Gus Van Sant or the cinematographer who chose to show that close up of Robin's face when Will is crying. It's just an INCREDIBLE image of the feeling that he FINALLY got through to Will.
what a scene, great script and acting, deserved oscar
Metin Karademir I think this movie got an Oscar for Best screenplay.
it`s not their fault.
Also, Robin Williams got an Oscar. And thank fuck for that.
+Gio Lingad- Lost Highway or Boogie Nights deserves best picture that year. But why do I care? Why am I typing this? Why to I get out of bed in the morning?
Titanic beat Good Will Hunting to the punch.
This clip applies to much more than just parental abuse. Being bullied, rejected, led on, forgotten, ghosted, excluded. It’s not your fault. This world is broken and full of broken people who sometimes take it out on you. Even if you in no way deserve it. Keep your head high and push forward. You are worthy and not forgotten.
This world is not broken. It may seem like that. Give some hope.
i can't believe that about myself. it's always my fault because i must be doing something i don't know i'm doing because WHY do i keep getting kicked when i'm down by life and everyone? why do people i trust end up pointing guns at me and robbing me? it must be my fault. only way it makes sense to me
That's because those people don't realize it's not their fault.
@@kingmajin The only person you're in control of is you. THEY decide to hurt you and you grew up into a system that rewards dishonesty and cruelty-you are not at fault there. The only thing you can do is take care of yourself and try your best to move through life with grace.
This comment needs to be pinned!!! Abuse can come from a lot of people within a lifetime and it hurts just the same. 😕
The beautiful balance of the worst, and the best, that humanity has to offer.
Delivered through an incredible performance.
Everytime I watch this, tears flow from my eyes.
I have been very fortunate to have a loving father and a loving mother.
However, a lot of people in my homeland don't share the same experiences.
It's never their faults...
For each “ it’s not your fault” statement made, a barrier of numbness falls down, until the last one penetrates right through the core of the hidden pain, then explodes in tears. Pain is to be recognized, felt and processed in order to heal and move on.
Hey guys we got a new Socrates here
But don’t worry
It’s not your fault
That sounds very sophisticated yet very condescending too
@@mrshadrack8554 has it occurred to you that I may have experienced a similar pain?
@@edmmitch neither was intended.
@@edmmitch Not really
The way he cries man. "Oh god, oh God I'm so sorry" is so goddamn realistic
I honest to hell think Damon literally let himself go all in on that, the way he apologizes from the deepest parts of himself. That ain’t “just acting”. Goddamn what a scene. RIP Robin, we miss you.
Rewatching that scene after a recent breakdown and suicide attempt, I am scared how fucking realistic it sounded indeed.
reminded me of the scene in Talented Mr Ripley where he kills his gay lover on the ship.
Das ist... da... nein!!!
Tony Almonte great comment
Robin Williams... you were the best! RIP.
Literally the best part of the movie.
Seeing walls being shattered this way
"You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you've loved yourself"
-Robin Williams
r.i.p Robin Williams
Well actually more like -Matt Damon & Ben Affleck but close enough I guess...
The saddest part about this scene is knowing that this sort of shit actually happens to kids all over the world: kids being starved, intentionally burned with boiling water, locked in unlit closets for hours on end, hit with closed fists, molested, and sometimes even mutilated... there is no limit for human cruelty, even against those who deserve it the least.
Not to mention the many, many forms of psychological abuse and neglect that leave no obvious wounds or scars but are still just as detrimental to your well-being.
@@MNAHN-T.GOF-NN Indeed.
Remember to allow yourselves to get angry, oftentimes people who are dealing with tyrannical fathers tend to shy away from anger and "negative" emotions. Because they feel when they are young, that they want to not be like "that".
Nobody more cruel than those that abuse children, the elderly, and animals.
And yet for as far human cruelty can get, there’s no limit for human kindness. In my opinion there could be more human kindness the cruelty if we all could help and give people a chance.
I went through the same thing with my father and this scene makes me cry every time I watch it. I literally had to take my clothes off while the police took photos of my bruises and strangulation marks in front of a blue screen at the police station.
Praying for you, man. I hope you’re doing well ❤️
This scene finally made me go see a therapist. Thank you.
Being abused as a child and having survived 3 suicide attempts i came across a psychiatrist who said something similar to me ... it completely changed my thinking and will to live. 13 years later i am happy and my life has completely turned around :)
I'm happy for you brother, god bless you, i was an abused child too, i know how strong you are, god bless 🙏
Good to hear!! God bless!
👌
God bless ya bro be good to others even when they dont seem to appreciate.
Yes
men don’t feel like they’re allowed to show their emotions so when they (we) cry we cry hard. We got feelings too
When I cry, everyone in the house can hear me. Loud, gut wrenching sobs.
But oh how you feel better after...
I do my best not to cry, boi is it ruff not trying to cry
I wish guys would feel free too cry because it"s important to let it out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it
Will you marry me Alex?
Men don't cry at least not in front of other people, cause then we'll get called a pussy or something. Me personally, I never cry since I was a kid, even when my best friend died in an accident, I just kept thinking that crying over it would change nothing, so I've always been keeping my feelings to myself, I guess just like most other men.. it's just how we are
I told my boss a story today about something bad that happened to me as a kid. Like physical/psychological abuse kinda stuff. And I got a little upset from remembering and telling the story. And he told me twice, it wasn't your fault. It's been about 13 years now and I don't think anyone has told me that until now. Reminded me of this scene and I haven't even seen this movie. Just happened to listen to this scene on an episode of cinema therapy here on TH-cam. I cried with this kid. Broke down and understood with him. It's not my fault.
Miss Robin so much, he makes me cry everytime. Dead Poets Society wow. But this is my favourite movie. Of course Mork. But his depth in this movie. I've lost track of how many times I've watched this movie. It's just so stunning.
“Dont fuck with me, not you” after he pushes him is the saddest part of the moment. He was worried about losing his friend if Robin Willians character didn’t mean what he was saying
I also think it let us into a window to how much that character was fucked with, for a long time, by a lot of people. Maybe in particular those he was closest to or trusted. This likely happened more than we know to the character through the movie we watched. He couldn't bear the thought of this person, who has achieved a level of trust that just about no one has, possibly deceiving, or fucking with him. This scene does a lot in a little bit of time. Well done Matt and Ben. Can't stand Ben's "acting" usually but he has talent as a director, and they both did a hell of a job on this script especially when you consider they wrote it in their early 20's.
I think what really broke Will down after being repeated “it’s not your fault” so many times was when Sean the psychiatrist understood him fully and hugged him and for the first time ever Will felt like a kid with a father and felt the pure love he had missed his whole life. The love he’s been wanting since as a child.
dude. you made me cry harder. why would you day that?

I was watching this movie on my cellphone while doing the dishes and by the second time he said "it's not your fault" it got my full attention and I started crying, this was so strong 💔
RIP Robin Williams
This is the first time I seen this movie. I became emotional and felt each scene. Absolutely a masterpiece.
The best acting scene I have EVER seen! Outstanding performances from Robin Williams and Matt Damon!!!
Totally agree
600th like, deserves 600 more.
made me tear up just watched it for the first time today
@@meanyomama samee
Lmao you seen like this and only this? Wow if this is the best youve seen lol
This scene is my therapy.
If you ended up crying from watching this there's your answer.
Frrrr
Same here
When your world is crumbling, all you need is someone to lean on. 👍
When I saw this particular scene in the film, I couldn’t help but tear up a little bit because it was at this moment I knew how vulnerable us men can be when face our insecurities like Will was facing his insecurities!! And I seriously have to say that the writing by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as well as the acting by Robin Williams were absolutely stellar!! There is something about this scene that connects to every person in confronting something that happened to them that they had no control over!!
If Joker had Robin as his therapist Gotham wouldn't need Batman.
I got a tad confused when you said Robin, Batman’s sidekick one, not Williams
Nah, even without Joker, Gotham will still need him because of Catwoman, Bane, Two-Face, etc
Gotham always needs batman
Epic comment!
oh my god I THOUGHT THE SAME
btw Robin and Joaquin are the best actors in the fuckin' world and nothing can ever change my mind.
My professor just linked us the crying bit as he released our grades
chris pena 😂 god Damn he is a funny guy
Nicole Majlat sure funny... haha *slowly begins to cry
LOL
Hahahahah
chris pena Which subject was that? Psychology?
Its not that often that you find a "perfect" movie. The writing, directing, casting, acting, audio, scenes, transitions..... This is one that is just awesome. Robin Williams is (was) a true genius. God bless that man for all he contributed to this world. Gone too soon.
One of the most undervalued scenes in Movie history.
I just wish some could have done the same for Robin Williams, RIP sir.
This scene has some of the best acting in film history
I still have some of these movies I learned couple of lessons in some of them
Absolutely Yes!!
They were acting?
I can relate to Will here as someone who is in the habit of intellectualizing my emotional pain instead of processing it. They talked about this scene on Cinema Therapy and the host said "You can understand everything there is to know about healing, and still not heal". That hit me like a ton of bricks. The things and people and situations from my youth that scarred me, I know they weren't my fault. Rationally, I know I didn't deserve to be neglected, mistreated, and hurt like I was. But the emotional wound that says "it happened because you deserved it" remains. It's an incredibly difficult disconnect to move past. This scene illustrates that human experience so beautifully and honestly.
I never heard of it that way.
ive always tried to rationalize my shit. yknow? this is whats happening this is how i can fix it. heres how i feel better. i always got frustrated why my emotions didnt follow logic. id cry randomly for no apparent reason. have no clue why then id cry more because im angry for crying. theres a reason why logic and emotion are seperate. a really annoying reason but either way. i cant purge all emotions that dont follow logic. i find myself in will shoes so many times repeatedly. "its not your fault" "i know." the unsaid part being "i know. ive heard that. im (not) fine" "its not your fault" "you said that i know why are you pushing"
"its not your fault" "stop. dont fuck with me cause if i show you emotion your gonna hurt me. i cant lose you cause you hurt me. dont fuck with me" ive been there. i find myself there so often...
You opened my eyes a bit wider. Thank you sir.
This is one of the best breakdowns of the scene that I've come across, completely accurate imo and perfectly articulated.
I'm very sorry that you can relate to Will in regards to intellectualizing. The fact that you have the cognitive ability to intellectualize and the mindfulness to be aware that you struggle with this means that you are FAR ahead of most though. Keep pushing through your struggles brother, you can and WILL break through!
Thank you for this comment. I’m in high school. Things have gotten a lot better over the past half year or so, and I’ve tried to rationalize everything as much as I could. Something still felt like it was missing or off. I’m still not happy despite knowing I can be and that it’s over, at least for now.
This comment really helped me understand that I still have healing to do and that I’m still affected by everything from the past.
One of the most impactful movie scenes I’ve ever seen, incredible acting. And it really touches home with how much trauma we can carry and how it shapes who we are. RIP Robin🙏🏼🙏🏼
the way will sobs and clings to sean he finally lets himself cry everything that he held inside for so long all the self loathing and blame comes out in that cry as he hold sean and it’s so emotional and raw it makes me cry everytime
The reason he's crying is twofold. He never meditated on the words "It's not your fault", and when he pushed the one person who stood by him, that person didn't go anywhere, but instead, he leaned in
I didn’t even realize that part about Will pushing Sean and Sean leaning in. Damn. Thank you for showing me that.
you mean in his growing up years there's no one able and responsible adult who will guide and understand him in becoming a man
10 times "it's not your fault"...by the 6th time the crying face was forming, 7th time he was losing it, 8th time the breakthrough finally happens, by the 9th time he's burst into tears, by the 10th time he's liberated
Dhiraj rai fuck off with your religion
Damn it. Now you got me counting them.
Customtheatres it takes time to heal. You have to let it bleed a bit and let it drain but it's a good start. Some people hold on to their pain as if letting let it go, they lose something important something they need. The pain is all they had for so long its a most precious to them, certainly a known quantity and something that they are familiar with and all that they do gives them a kind of Shield around themselves I wear it like a suit of armor to deal with the little disappointments of daily living it allows them to keep people at a distance and protects the wearer from disappointment but it's a burden, a burden 1 grows accustomed to. Sometimes people can't won't let it go of their burdens not just because they don't know how to but because it becomes so much a part of them they don't think that they can live without it. That's why some people eventually get over it and some people never do.
It's a very fine film and I'm glad it ended the way it did. The things only get better if people make the choices that lead them there. But those paths are usually the hardest to cross because they require us to confront and then let go of our pain. And as I said some people are unable or unwilling to let go of their pain. If a person believes that they can be stronger than their past if they believe that they deserve peace and cicotte then everybody can have a happy ending like Will Hunting. And if they can't they can't. But it is a very fine film and I miss Robin Williams.
Damn that was some MAD psychology; did you study psychology, the way you described burden was very interesting
And it worked because?...
They were not sentences, they were feeling.
I wish someone could’ve been there to say this exact thing to Mr. Williams before he left us. I don’t know what went on in his life but I know in my gut he needed to have a moment like this and it never came. RIP Robin Williams. I hope he knows how much he helped us and how much we loved him😔
This is a movie I will be watching again and again throughout my life, learning something new from it each time.
