Good Will Hunting

#12 on Scavenger hunt No 20; produced by one country set in another (filmed in Canada, set in Boston) I, for some reason or another, have avoided actually watching this movie which is kind of absurd because 1: Elliot Smith, 2: Casey Affleck, and 3: Boston accents. I suppose also there are so many pop culture references to this movie that I knew were from this movie but never really got (it's not your fault you say). So much so that I was determined to screen grab every references to apples throughout but was a little disappointed that there are actually only 2, and then a pear fakeout at the end. Still, Good Will Hunting is Great Will Hunting. It's a perfect example of solid film making, encompassing all elements of human emotion, limiting it's predictability, and encouraging after thought. Which is weird to me that Gus Van Sant can be so completely Bi-polar as to whether or not his films connect. GWH connects, Last Days does not. My Own Private Idaho, To Die For, Drugstore Cowboy... All spectacular and original, but then wtf is Finding "you're the man now, dog" Forrester or that unnecessary late nineties remake of Psycho? I haven't actually watched Finding Forrester so maybe I will now just to get a better understanding. Maybe I good will forrester.
