Awesome 😊
woops, thought i was on your Shift review for a sec there lol.
I honestly do not distinctly remember seeing this in the theater nor shedding any tears, but I know I was really pulling for Damon and Driver to get back together and make it work 😊
Of the era..... Mid late 90s what a time but I glad it's over. School ties with Brandon Fraser an matt Damon. Y'all may like
Most beautiful reactions yet ❤❤💯💯🙂🙂✅️✅️
"Men, be honest: did you shed a tear" - yes ma'am, I have no shame in admitting that I cried quite profusely when I first watched it, and even after all these years, it still brings a tear to my eye.
Great reaction to a great movie, ladies!
Aww love that!! ❤
Thank you! It will get you for sure!
Me too man. This movie hits hard.
I didn't but the Damon/Affleck combo have never interested me, they're just not believable as human beings
@@jonathandevereaux298 agreed, Damon and Affleck might be good writers and directors, but they aren’t good actors
Williams' monologue at the lake is simply perfection. It's stern, vulnerable, forgiving, and beautiful.
Man, I miss Williams. RIP.
💯🔥🔥
It’s more like a large pond; it’s in the Boston Public Garden 😉
@@Johonnac🤓☝️
16:37 I remember hearing that "wife fart story" wasn't in the scripted and improvised by Robin Williams, that's why Matt Damon was laughing so hard and if you listen closely the sound picks up the camera man laughing too 😄
Robin Williams God rest his soul was a genius and an amazing actor. He did A LOT of improvising in order to get REAL reaction from his fellow cast. All of the DJ speeches in Good Morning Vietnam was improv. The scene in Mrs. Doubtfire when his teeth fall into the glass was improv. The reactions were all real and unscripted but kept in the movie.
For Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg had purposely cast Matt Damon as Ryan because he was virtually unknown and had All-American handsomeness. However, this movie came out a couple of months before and made Damon a star.
Also shaving Ryans private... a movie.. ina diffrente genre ...but with a simular name.
The "It's not your fault" scene breaks me down every single time. This movie is a true inspiration. Your reaction was raw and awesome.
We are all damaged, that is why.
Fun Fact: The farting wife story was completely improvised. Matt Damon laughed his ass off.
Also, Ben Affleck's speech at the end is such a great scene. So different from the usual speeches. A real friend would rather see his friend succeed if it means never seeing them again.
Wow 😂
That speech was so good!
Also, in the fart scene, you can see the camera shaking, because the cameraman was cracking up.
That Ben Affleck scene was the first take. Ben made them do a few more, but he nailed it the first time.
That line “Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50” really hit me hard. I turned 50 this year and I feel like Chucky. I’ll be working forever doing the same shit. I’ll be watching all my friends retiring and traveling and golfing everyday. I’ll be breaking my back working until the day I drop dead. And I know there’s nothing I can do to change that.
I'm a 56 year old man who has seen more than any ones fair share of shit, I cry every time I see this movie or just a reaction to it. If you are not moved by this movie you have to be dead inside. Robin Williams is and will always be missed by we who were fortunate enough to see him perform. His all improve stand up was as amazing as his acting. You should watch some of his stand up if you have not already.
I highly recommend his episode of Inside The Actor's Studio.
It is a very touching movie! Therapeutic really!
One of the best movies ever.
That was great, can we have more tears?😁 Dead poet Society, Hachi, The Lovely Bones, Stand By Me, Sophie's Choice and, of course, Evil Dead😊
Name 3 things you've seen
The scene where Affleck's character tells Will that the best day for him, would be one where he would wake up to the reality of hos friend having left...
Gets me every single time. The slight bitterness about not having such a gift, but the immense brotherly love for Will. That is acceptance. Peace of mind, in a nuttshell.
The worst part is you see Hollywood won't make a movie like this anymore. Doesn't bring enough draw for the time. Writing is almost dead and so are good movies
Writing is there but the generation who would value it, is not.
So crazy how true it is it’s really tragic a lot of people grow up on movies that shape them not everyone is gonna see stuff like this anymore
Okay Debbie downers....
Nah, they’ve just transferred the good stories to making a series on streaming services. And there absolutely are still independent productions that are good. The pendulum will swing back towards smaller, character driven stories, eventually.
Facts! I "absolutely hate" this movie because there wasn't a ton of amazing special effects!
Only high-quality writing, acting, cinematography, pacing, etc...
As a strong man I of course blubbed when I saw this in 1997. The biggest reaction I've ever seen by men in the cinema was to The Green Mile. Nearly every man in the theatre was seriously crying during this film.
I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for the Green Mile!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Do something light first - Green Mile will break your heart.
Long, long story, but Good Will Hunting changed my life, and not just in a "I saw it and was inspired" kind of way. And Robin Williams was why I became an actor. I met him in 2011. He was adorable. When he passed, I spent 3 days in bed crying.
Yes, I was completely devastated when he ended his life too 😭
I suggested that they both watch Finding Forrester with Sean Connery. It’s the same director as Good Will Hunting… it wasn’t a big movie like Good Will Hunting, but it was just as good as it. Sean Connery was another celebrity death that devastated me 😭😢
Do you ever see Finding Forrester?
@@nsasupporter7557 Weird! I replied to this message, but I can't see it now! I'm actually Scottish too, so you can imagine how it affected us. I actually worked in a cinema as the inhouse film critic when it was released. I wasn't a fan personally, but I know a lot of people like it.
This movie still messes me up. As I mentioned during Monday’s livestream, this movie inspired me to become a therapist. I loved both your honest reactions. I was right there with u both!!! Love and hugs to u both! 😊🤗
Aww thank you! That’s awesome!!
You need to watch Finding Forrester, if you haven’t yet. it’s the same director as Good Will Hunting. Though it wasn’t as big as Good Will Hunting, it was just as good as it. It stars Sean Connery, he plays a reclusive writer who teaches an athlete how to write
Kudos to you ladies for this watch reaction 👍🏻
Good Will Hunting is a timeless masterpiece that strikes a chord with its powerful storytelling and brilliant performances from Matt Damon and Robin Williams. It’s a real tear 😢 jerker of a movie 🎥
Yes he is!
Finding Forrester is another beautiful movie by the same director. It wasn’t as big of a movie as Good Will Hunting but still just as good
Cool how in the beginning Robin Williams's character calls Will "Chief" or "sport" but at the end it's "son"
Saw it in a theater back in 97 as I was just getting into film. As a teenager, I wasn't mature enough to fully appreciate the movie (and its themes) but I thought it was great. It wasn't till I watched it later in life that it hit different. Great Video, as always!
Aww thanks John!!
A beautiful movie with so many life lessons
Michelle and Natalie I loved your reactions to such a good, thoughtful movie. Major props to your honest and sincere reaction to a story of a person struggling to find himself and the friends, mentors that help him along the way plus the love and caring of a good woman. Vincit qui se vincit. He conquers who conquers himself! A lot of moments that mattered.
Thanks KB!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment You are welcome!😄🌷
This was your best reaction. Being vulnerable is being real, and being real is what people are attracted to.
I'm 56 and have watched this film start to finish at least five times and have watched reactors respond to it at least a half-dozen times. Never fails to make me tear up at several points. It's just so good. RIP Robin Williams you rocked this.
One of the best films ever made.
"Do you like Apples? Michelle and Natalie loved this movie. How about them Apples!" Y'all about got my with the tears 🥲. It's a great movie and I remember feeling the emotional moments the first time I watched this movie. 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉 Take care ladies.
Thanks Stephen!
I too never saw this movie when it came out despite everyone I knew raving about it. I think my favorite scene is the park bench scene. Robin Williams owns every scene he is in. He truly was a great, versatile actor. If you want to see him like you have never seen him before, I recommend the movies "Insomnia" and "One Hour Photo". If you want to see an great underrated dark comedy with him and Edward Norton, watch "Death to Smoochy". Great video as always ladies.
Thank you! RW was a special talent!
"Do you like apples?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?"
Fun Fact: Gus Van Sant painted the picture that hangs in Sean Maguire's (Robin Williams') office.
Five Year Dream Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen.
What Script Fact: The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. Robin Williams' last line in the film "Son of a bitch. He stole my line" was also ad-libbed.
MIT Connection Fact: Matt Damon, a former Harvard student, originally intended to make the title character a physics prodigy. He discussed his idea with Sheldon L. Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics and, at the time, a Harvard professor. Glashow told him that the premise did not ring true to him: he suggested that the main character be a math prodigy instead. He referred Damon to his brother-in-law, Daniel Kleitman, a professor of mathematics at MIT, who provided advice on the story. Both Glashow and Kleitman are thanked in the credits.
😢😂😂😂
"You disrespect my Wife again i will END You... you got that Chief?" I frickin love this film, one of Robin Williams best performances for sure, Ben Affleck is that rare Best friend we all need more in our lives, true Best Friends always want the best for you even if it means you moving on from them in some way. I love that you Ladys have discovered this gem. Hey Nat! 😉
It is an excellent movie!
Probably one of the best screenplays ever written.
First time watching, and realized those were third year problems on the chalkboard. Took me a bit out of the movie. Recently, asked a history professor from the local uni if he thought the history lesson Will gave was too easy. He said no. So, not all watered down.
Charming movie (as you say) but the mathematics angle is ridiculous. Would've been an all-time great script otherwise...
Great reaction ! Please do Movies SCENT OF A WOMAN and CASABLANCA !
With the greatest of respect; it was good to see you both cry. Beautiful reaction ladies.
Thank you!
ahh geez, i get distracted constantly watching this.
Ladies, I cry every time I watch this... even with you in the abbreviated version. It's with Shawshank Redemption for feel-good buddy movies where characters experience tremendous growth throughout the film. Thank you for reacting to this one. It is a special piece of art when one watch just isn't sufficient. 📽🎞💚
Great movie. Glad you liked it. Robin Williams did a great job. I'm not a big _love story_ fan, but this one felt real and honest, not cheesy or unrealistic like most of the others do.
Comedian Louis CK does a great stand up bit on this movie, should check it out
For this film both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won an Oscar for best original screenplay and Robin Williams won for best supporting actor. Thank you ladies great reaction.
Thanks for watching!!
Yes, Robin Williams beat out Greg Kinnear in As Good as it Gets for best supporting actor
@@nsasupporter7557That's right
@@nsasupporter7557burt reynolds and Robert forrester
Robin Williams improvise all the faro scene, but recently I knew that Robin Williams improvise all the last line like doing like a 100 hundreds tienes, and the last line remains.
The film “As Good as it Gets” won best actor and actress. But this movie beat it out for best supporting actor… Robin Williams! 😊
I used to go to movies every week in the 90’s. Sometimes several. This is one I never got around to. Really weird for me. Robin Williams always makes me emotionalized. I need to see this so sorry, I can’t watch this. I’m going to purchase it to stream soon.
Thanks for choosing this one though!! I chuckle at your reactions- both of you. So hilarious.
Thanks!
An interesting thing I find about this one... almost all movies have a villain, or several villains. Who's the villain in this one? The abusive fathers that both Shawn and Will dealt with, but those were memories. The obnoxious preppy student guy? Not really, he was just an annoying footnote character. The professor wasn't a villain despite his arrogance, you believe that he sincerely wants to help get Will's life sorted out. It's bizarre, there's really NO villain! And it still works.
Also...it's so subtle how Shawn initially addresses Will rather off-handedly as 'Sport' or 'Chief', mirroring Will's emotional distance. By the end Shawn's now addressing him by name as 'Will', and more tellingly, 'Son'...acknowledging that Will is now regarding him as the caring father figure neither of them had ever had before and Shawn is openly accepting that role for Will...almost saying without words 'you feel like a son to me'....a particularly healing sentiment for an emotionally damaged orphan to receive.
he redeems himself as an exceptional counselor as much as his friend is a great mathematician
If you want to see more Robin Williams where he can make you laugh or cry type role, react to "The Fisher King" (1991). An excellent movie directed by Terry Gilliam.
Haven’t heard of it. Thanks!
Just watched your reaction and I just subscribed to the channel. I loved your reaction so much . Keep it up
Thank you so much!!
The first movie I saw u react to was Monty Python Holy Grail. I have really enjoyed in many ways ever since. Well wishes.
Thank you!!
Recommend a movie I hope I don't regret...Robin Williams plays the King of the Moon! The Adventures of Baron Munchausen! There's NO movie like it!
Even this far back, I think Affleck retained the old Boston accent better than Damon. Ben sounds more authentic to my Massachusetts-born ears.
They don't make enough movies like this in Hollywood. I think I felt every emotion there is in this one. ❤
Good job ladies
Thank you!!
I think that's the biggest problem honestly..no emotional connection
I was thinking bout this movie and I just realized that last scene with Robin Williams and Will was a metaphor for how Will was pushing those he loved away so he wouldn't get hurt. Will physically pushes Williams character away but he stands firm. He shows he won't abandon him even after he has built trust with Will. Then the breakthrough.
I think masculine energy is more prone to be adept at showing the firm and strong, supportive but not smothering love. That brotherly/father type of thing.
I guess Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are smarter than I thought as screenwriters. LOL
I cried at the movie but I have overactive tear ducts and will cry at a Folger's commercial or yawning. It's so attractive to the ladies....😅
Warrior with Tom Hardy is another tear jerker well worth a watch. Gets most men I’ve known teary and my wife, who is training to be a counsellor, “ugly cried” for fifteen minutes after.
No one reacts to that movie and I been waiting years for the reactors to start doing it lol
Y' all are both beautiful. This was an excellent, authentic reaction. Thank you.
Aww! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much, #ForceOfLightEntertainment, for the awesome movie reaction. I'm still supporting you because your content is so amazing, and also because I enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.
We appreciate that!! Thanks!! 💚
Twas the worst hunting movie I have EVER seen! The title is misleading. If the title says "Hunting" you expect hunting, not laughing and crying. They didn't even kill a fly or even step on a roach. I would have settled for a roach.
Sometimes, you get close enough to a person... and all you find is hate - sometimes, it's self-hatred. I know what that feels like - poor Will. I adore this movie. Self-destructive, shitty tendencies not just on display, they're on *parade*.
This is one of those rare movies...
New to the channel: I'm not saying it's exclusive or completely inclusive of the whole group, but men LOVE a fart joke 😂❤
The brunette reminds me of a young CHER the deep voice, attractive smile, laugh ...thats a compliment btw😊 the redhead is also very attractive, don't want her getting jealous 😂
I thought this film was very good. I do have a math background and I have never met any math genius that acts like Matt Damon. LOL. Usually a little to very odd. On the spectrum.
I love you both (but Natalie is my weakness ❤) I know very well this movie, I have a story similar to Will (not a genius, just "better" than the background which I grew up), but some tear still came out watching you crying😂
Hello beautiful ladies!
Had a great time to watching this video. Also this was my first Casey Affleck movie. Maybe next time you might consider to watch Manchester by the Sea.
Take care
As an action science fiction horror fan, I don't often cry ^^
But there are exactly two films where even I have to get out my handkerchief.
Good will Hunting and Meet Joe Black
Absolutely, without a doubt, the best editing of this movie ever!
"I love the honesty."
That's how men talk.
Men are direct, women avoid any and all confirmation so you compliment without meaning it whilst men bully without meaning it.
Off the top of my head, I'd say The Green Mile is the biggest tear jerker movie for me. I saw it in the theaters and remember thinking this movie is almost over, I better pull myself together, but then I could hear others in the audience just balling uncontrollably and I felt relieved that I wouldn't be the only one walking out of the theater looking like I was having an allergic reaction to clams.
You might check out "Mr. Roberts". since you liked Goodwill Hunting.
There's so many iconic lines from this film. It's one of the few "perfect' films.
You ladies are beautiful with big hearts. Instant subscribe here.
I find the swearing hard but when you look past that it’s beautiful funny and emotional movie that brings me to tears every time. Matt did a fantastic job but the one that takes the prize for me is robin Williams for sure. Fantastic actor.
You know if you don’t cry at this movie you must be hard hearted, broken inside or dead. ❤❤
Be careful with cocaine or other mind-altering substances. Robin was never the same after his experience. Still sublime, but forever haunted
Farts can be powerful things. They can blow your whole house down... like the 3 little pigs.
great movie, I remember reading that the farting wife scene was improvised by Robin Williams, the laughter was real.
RIP, Robin Williams, we love you, we miss you.
16:39 - That was an improv by Williams, which explains Matt's laughter
Have you seen Dead Poets Society w/ Robin Williams?
I (Michelle ) have but not sure about Natalie
I was holding it together until you two started😢 and then that was all she wrote for me😭. I love your reviews they’re always so honest and genuine.
You two are sweet, everyone cries at this movie.
They can't claim credit because in math te has to prove your work. SWEET.
A really good Robin Williams film that you will love is Bicentennial man..great film..
No one ever comments on the jacket Will is wearing after getting bailed out and wears throughout the remainder of the film hmmmm...
i've yet to watch the ending scene without crying. Ive watched this movie maybe 20 times. For more gut wrenching movies i recoomend Manchester by the sea if you havent seen it.
Oh yeah, this movie used that great Elliot Smith song (as if there's any other kind) haven't seen it in a long time. Thanks for the upload.
"I've heard reading makes you smarter. We should all try it."
I have a feeling that there are a lot who would fail in that attempt...
Bens chatacter is actually pretty smart in this also, just not in a non technical way.
Agreed
Elliott Smith and Robin both gone...in the same fashion too. Just unreal
Will's tall, curly red-haired sidekick is Rip from Yellowstone. 🙂
The old tried and true counseling method of : "the fart story"!
😂😂
This movie is one of Robin Williams best performances I have ever seen next to One Hour Photo. It’s really my favorite movie of all time. He definitely proved that he can be both a serious actor and a comedic actor at the same time.
Agreed!
1 Hour Photo was a very sad movie. It was supposed to be “scary and suspenseful” but it was just depressing more than anything. Another great “villainous” role by Robin Williams is Insomnia which came out the same year
It may seem sacrilegious but I always enjoyed Robin Williams in dramatic roles over his comedic ones.
One thing that does seem to hold is that traditionally funny actors can play serious roles more easily than traditionally serious actors being able to play comedic roles.
@@jmiyagi12345 sorry, but I strongly disagree with that for the most part.
From what I understand, it’s the other way around… dramatic actors can do comedy even better than alot of comedians and comedians can rarely ever be good dramatic actors. The only 2 comedians that can pull off dramatic acting is Robin Williams and Jim Carrey… Jeff Daniels is mostly known for drama, but he blew everybody away in Dumb and Dumber with Jim. He was funnier than most comedians in that movie
@@nsasupporter7557 Will Ferrell, not to be confused with a good actor, does very solid work in his dramatic roles. Probably his better work. Carrey, as you mentioned, was much better than he was given credit for. I am honestly struggling with coming up with dramatic actors who can do straight comedy. Maybe Jack Nicholson, but it’s usually just him being crazy, which might just be his default setting.
That car makes it to California, back, and there again. You don't gift a car for looks. You gift a car for how car it can car.
One of my faves. First saw it in the theater, but have watched it so many times and shed tears every time. I’m a softy, what can I say.
Following because I randomly caught this reaction.
Terrific reaction to this, and probably the most emotional I've seen you both get watching a movie. Robin Williams was amazing, worthy of the Oscar and Damon and Affleck deserving for original screenplay. I still get a bit teary eyed towards the end. It was up against Titanic and L.A. Confidential for Best Picture. A movie that still holds up well after nearly 30 years later.
Thanks! And agreed!
Never watched a first time reaction where they didn't cry, just like you two ladies did and it binds us all together with our shared humanity...Williams and Damons characters needed each other and drew each other out from their past into a new life....and Williams 'Park' monolgue is one of the greatest, to think Damon and Affleck wrote this in their early 20's.....astounding...(I think the bench where Williams said those words is a shrine often visited)
No Alexander hid his son . He was in your favourite movie dune part one. Fat villain.
You should defiantly watch saving private ryan!
I just love this movie. Made me tear up again watching you lovely ladies. I love watching both your reactions
Thank you! It’s a tear jerker for sure!
Lol I love when Southerners laugh at northeastern accents, cuz I laugh at southern accents.
Hard to see Matt Damon without hearing the Team America voice "Matt Damon"
I said before and I’ll say it again, it behooves one to watch this movie every year to remind us of life’s important lessons. Yes, I cry as a 69 yr. old man but I’ve always been emotional due to Cerebral Palsy. Although my disability is ever so slight, it’s enough to notice a difference in my motor skills.
The one thing this movie tries to show is that those with similar histories will spend years in therapy to undo the trauma and to feel worthy of love and good thigs.
Just watched your review and remember it loved it, cried with you 😢
Your gonna get charged is one of my favorite lines. Glad you enjoyed it.
During Sean's speech on couple intimacy, it's amazing to feel how he takes us from laughter to deep emotion. I love this film and I've seen a lot of reactions about it.
This is the film with the most authentic emotions I've ever seen, without using children, etc., how easy they are to bring us to tears.
No watch Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season.
If you watch when Will is hugging Sean and crying, you'll see that Sean's eyes are smiling and joyful. He knows what a breakthrough that was. Notice throughout their last
couple of encounters that he calls him, "Son". He doesn't mind being a surrogate and a mentor, and he'll be happy to stay in contact with Will. It was a breakthrough and Will
is a genius but he certainly doesn't have all the answers. It will be invaluable to have someone he knows he can trust to help guide him. 'We all could use someone like that.
