Good Will Hunting

Matt Damon shines in this film and so does Robin Williams. Honestly the quality of acting here was unreal. This was a great film that inspires and gets its message across very well. Every scene with Sean Maguire felt raw and emotional, the shift of character for Will Hunting was done so well.  I do have some notes though. I felt like the end was a bit premature. I also felt like the film could’ve expanded further into the trauma that Will endured so that we could have a better understanding of his attitude. This is a recurring theme for me and something I’ve realized while watching movies made in the 80s - 90s era; I feel like there is so much pointless conversation between characters. Sometimes a persons will ramble on continuously for minutes on end just talking. It’s something that’s present in a lot of movies I’ve watched of that era and it irks me a bit.  However, as I said, it definitely gets its message across very well. Do what you want y’know, chase your dreams, pursue your passion. It definitely got me invested in the characters relationships and how they would play out. I loved the relationship between Will and Sean.  4/5
