Good Will Hunting

I was very excited to watch this movie. I had heard from many people how great of a movie it was. So going into the movie, I was already positively influenced on the film. The film started out eye catching right away, and never lulled me at any time. The story was very well put together and the conflict throughout the film kept you wondering what was going to happen next.

The film definitely followed the criteria of a good story. The film was unified in plot, most definitely credible and was absolutely interesting. The next thing I noticed in the film was the fact that Will’s last name was hunting. I know it sounds dumb, but I thought the title meant Will was “hunting” for something when I first seen the title. But when I figured that out I realized how significant the title really was to the film. Especially because at heart, Will was a very nice young man, however he had a very difficult and messed up childhood.

There were also a variety of characters in the movie. However, the most significant were the developing characters in Will and Sean. In Will, Sean saw himself when he was young. Sean was a very smart guy who chose a different path than mathematics. But just like Will, Sean also had a rough childhood. I think this is a huge reason why Sean also knows how to deal with Will, not only because he is a professional.  There is a lot of irony in this, and most of all when Will leaves for the girl, just like Sean did. It was very interesting that Will helped Sean, just as much as Sean helped Will. The therapy sessions were great for both of them.

Overall, the movie was a classic film that kept you wanting more when the movie ended. The film was also full of star studded actors which helped make the storyline even better. I also think that everyone wants to see the little guy (Will, just a janitor), survive and be something special to show the world that everyone has capabilities to do anything in life. This, the story, and the actors involved made this film an A+ film.
