i got to know this Good Will Hunting movie when Johnny and Mark mentioning the way they made a movie (Freaky Handshake) together was just like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. i don't check the movie right away but i'm glad i finally did.
so, one time, at lunch break, i watch this movie...
i don't read any synopsis or anything about the movie, so i was completely clueless. it's an old movie (1997, after i google it). Ben Affleck look sooo different, he's so young. the movie is written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (i thought it's just because they both starring in it). its look like typical American movie that i know (which not that much), and since Robin Williams also playing, its somehow reminds me to Dead Poets Society (watch it in Middle School and i still remember how sad it is).
so Chuckie (Ben Affleck) is a rich friend who pick up Will (Matt Damon) with other 2 friends Billy and Morgan to work everyday, including paying for their meals and drinks. Will work as a janitor at MIT (w😏w). He solved a math problem that was posted in a hallway blackboard by Prof. Lambeau, anonymously. so now, Prof. Lambeau is searching the person who solved it, as it was a big deal for him, even calling him 'Mystery Math Magician' and post another math problem that took him and his team 2 years to solved😏
meanwhile Will get into a fight with his kindergarten bully then arrested. this is not his first arrest, but he manage to get a way out in court several times. he could not get away on this one because he assaulted one of the officers.
Will solved the math problem again and almost get caught by Lambeau who think he drew graffiti on his math problem but left shock after looking at the board.
Will and his friends are going to 'Harvard' bar, when Chuckie tried to impress some girls. an entitled guy come over trying to embarrass him and impress the girl at the same time by quoting book that he read as if its his own opinion, so Will get in (in a super smart-cool way) to expose him. One of the girl, Skylar is impressed, so she ask Will if they can go out and get some coffee.
"Gotta' get up early and waste some more money on my overpriced education."
"... maybe we could just get together and eat a bunch of caramels.When you think about it, it's as arbitrary as drinking coffee."
so here is some of my favorites parts and lines:
"How do you like dem apples?"anyway, so... Lambeau start searching the janitor who solved his math problem and saw how Will defend himself in court. Lambeau making arrangements with the judge that Will will be under his supervision with 2 conditions: 1. meet him once a week to solved or proved math problem and 2. seeing a therapist. Will ended up agreeing but mocking his therapist along the way. Until he met Sean (Robin Williams) who once Lambeau's roommate in college.
"You know what the real bitch of it is? It's paint by number.""The sky's fallin' on your head, the waves are crashin' over your little boat, the oars are about to snap.You just piss in your pants, you're cryin' for the harbors, and maybe you do what you gotta do to get out.Yeah, maybe you became a psychologist."😤sotoy banget Will😤
SEAN
I thought about what you said to me the other day,
about my painting.
WILL
eah?
SEAN
Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something
occurred to me, I fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and I
haven't thought about you since. You know what
occurred to me?
WILL
No.
SEAN
You're just a kid. You don't have the faintest idea what
you're talking about.
WILL
Why thank you.
SEAN
It's all right. You've never been out of Boston.
WILL
Nope.
SEAN
So, if I asked you about art, you'd probably give
me the skinny on every art book ever written.
Michelangelo. You know a lot about him. Life's work,
political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual
orientation, the whole works, right? But I bet you
can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel.
You've never actually stood there and looked up at that
beautiful ceiling. Seen that....If I ask you about
women, you'd probably give me a syllabus of your
personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few
times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake
up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a
tough kid. I ask you about war, you'd probably
uh...throw Shakespeare at me, right? "Once more into
the breach, dear friends." But you've never been near
one. You've never held your best friend's head in your
lap, and watched him gasp his last breath looking to
you for help. I ask you about love, y'probably quote
me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and
been totally vulnerable...known someone that could
level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel
on Earth just for you..who could rescue you from the
depths of Hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like
to be her angel, n to have that love for her be there
forever. Through anything. Through cancer. And you
wouldn't know about sleepin' sittin' up in a hospital
room for two months, holding her hand because the
doctors could see in your eyes that the terms visiting
hours don't apply to you. You don't know about real
loss, because that only occurs when you love
something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've
ever dared to love anybody that much. I look at you: I
don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky,
scared shitless kid. But you're a genius, Will. No one
denies that. no one could possibly understand the
depths of you. But you presume to know everything
about me because you saw a painting of mine and
ripped my fuckin' life apart. You're an orphan, right?
Do you think I'd know the first thing about how hard
your life has been, how you feel, who you are because
I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you?
Personally, I don't give a shit about that, because you
know what? I can't learn anything from you I can't
read in some fuckin' book. Unless you wanna talk
about you, who you are. And I'm fascinated. I'm in.
But you don't wanna do that, do you, sport? You're
terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief. "He just sat there counting the seconds until the session was over.Pretty impressive, actually."
WILL
Yeah. Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doin'.
Yeah, but this girl is like, you know, beautiful. She's
smart. She's funny. She's different from most of the
girls I've been with.
SEAN
So, call her up, Romeo.
WILL
Why? So I can realize she's not that smart, that she's
fuckin' boring? Y'know--I mean...this girl is like
fuckin' perfect right now, I don't wanna r--ruin that.
SEAN
Maybe you're perfect right now. Maybe you don't
wanna ruin that. I think that's a super philosophy, Will,
that way you can go through your entire life without
ever having to really know anybody....
SEAN
Oh Christ....aahhh, but, Will, she's been
dead two years and that's the shit I remember.
Wonderful stuff, you know, little things like that. Ah,
but, those are the things I miss the most. The little
idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. That's what made
her my wife. Oh and she had the goods on me, too, she
knew all my little peccadillos. People call these things
imperfections, but they're not, aw that's the good stuff. >
And then we get to choose who we let in to our weird
little worlds. You're not perfect, sport. And let me
save you the suspense. This girl you met, she isn't
perfect either. But the question is: whether or not you're
perfect for each other. That's the whole deal. That's
what intimacy is all about. Now you can know
everything in the world, sport, but the only way you're
findin' out that one is by givin' it a shot. You certainly
won't learn from an old fucker like me. Even if I did
know, I wouldn't tell a piss ant like you.
WILL
Why not? You told me every other fuckin' thing. Jesus
Christ. Fuckin' talk more than any shrink I ever seen in
my life.
SEAN
I teach this shit, I didn't say I know how to do it.
WILL
Yeah.......You ever think about gettin' remarried?
SEAN
My wife's dead.
WILL
Hence the word: remarried.
SEAN
She's dead.
WILL
Yeah.. Well, I think that's a super philosophy, Sean. I
mean that way you could actually go through the rest of
your life without ever really knowing anybody. SEAN
Time's up. WILL
You ever wonder what your life would be like if you
uh..if you never met your wife?
SEAN
What? Wonder if I'd be better off without her?
WILL
no,no,no, I'm not saying, like, better off.
SEAN
No.
WILL
I didn't mean it like that.
SEAN
It's all right. It's an important question. Cus' you'll
have bad times, but that'll always wake you up to the
good stuff you weren't paying attention to.
WILL
And you don't regret meetin' your wife?
SEAN
Why? Because of the pain I feel now? Well, I got
regrets, Will, but I don't regret a single day I spent with
her.
WILL
So, when did you know, like, that she was the one
for you?
SEAN
October 21st, 1975.
WILL
Jesus Christ. You know the fuckin' date?
SEAN
Oh yeah. Cus' it was game six of the World Series.
Biggest game in Red Sox history.
...
WILL
Did you rush the field?
SEAN
No..I didn't rush the fuckin' field, I wasn't there.
WILL
What?
SEAN
No..I was in a bar havin' a drink with my future wife.
WILL
You missed Pudge Fisk's homerun?
SEAN
Oh yeah.
WILL
To have a fuckin' drink with some lady you never met?
SEAN
Yeah, but you shoulda' seen her. She was a stunner.
WILL
I don't care if fuckin'--
SEAN
Oh no, no, she lit up the room.
WILL
I don't care if Helen of Troy walks in the room, that's
game six!
SEAN
Oh, Helen of Troy..
WILL
Oh my God, and who are these fuckin' friends of
yours they let you get away with that?
SEAN
Oh...They had to.
WILL
W-w-w-what'd you say to them?
SEAN
I just slid my ticket across the table and I said, "Sorry
guys, I gotta' see about a girl."
...
WILL
You're kiddin' me.
SEAN
No, I'm not kiddin' you, Will. That's why I'm not
talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar twenty
years ago and how I always regretted not going over
and talking to her. I don't regret the 18 years I was
married to Nancy. I don't regret the six years I had to
give up counseling when she got sick. And I don't regret
the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell
don't regret missin' the damn game. That's regret.
"It's not fair. I've been here for four years, and I've only just found you."WILL
You could be in California next week and, you know, you might find out something about me you don't like and, you know, maybe you'll wish you hadn't said that and then, you know, it's such a serious thing that you can't take it back and now I'm stuck in California with someone who doesn't really want to be with me who just wishes they had a takeback. ...WILL What am I so scared of? SKYLAR Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else but defend yourself because that would mean you'd hafta' change. WILL Oh no. Don't, don't, don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world! I mean you just wanna have you fling with like the guy from the other side of town. Then you're going to go off to Stanford, you're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming too, once. SKYLAR Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. Nearly every day I wake up, and I wish that I could give it back, that I would give it back in a second if it meant I could have one more day with him, but I can't and that's my life and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me, when you're the one that's afraid. WILL I'm afraid? Wha--wha--what am I afraid of, huh? What the fuck am I afraid of? SKYLAR You're afraid of me. You're afraid that I won't love you back. And you know what? I'm afraid too. Fuck it. I want to give it a shot and at least I'm honest with you. WILL I'm not honest with you? SKYLAR No, what about your twelve brothers? WILL All right. SKYLAR No. You're not going. You're not leaving. WILL What do you want to know? What? That I don't have twelve brothers? SKYLAR Yes. WILL That I'm a fuckin' orphan! SKYLAR Ye WILL No, you don't wanna hear that! SKYLAR I didn't know that. WILL No, you don't wanna hear that. SKYLAR I didn't know it. WILL You don't wanna hear that I had fuckin' cigarettes put out on me when I was a little kid. SKYLAR Oh...I didn't know that... WILL That this isn't fuckin' surgery, that the motherfucker stabbed me. You don't wanna hear that shit, Skylar. SKYLAR I do wanna hear it. WILL Don't tell me you want to hear that shit! SKYLAR I want to hear it because I want to help you. Because I want to-- WILL Help me! What the fuck? What I got a fucking sign on my back? That says "save me?" SKYLAR No. WILL Do I look like I need that? SKYLAR No. God, I just want to be with you because I love you! WILL Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me. Don't you fuckin' bullshit me! SKYLAR I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life... WILL I don't love you.SEAN You feel like you're alone, Will? WILL What? SEAN Do you have a soul mate? WILL Define that. SEAN Somebody who challenges you. WILL I have Chuckie. SEAN You know, Chuckie's family, he'd lie down in fuckin' traffic for you. I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you. Touches your soul. WILL I got..I got.. SEAN Who? WILL I got plenty. SEAN Well, name 'em. WILL Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, o'Conner, Kant, Pope, Locke... SEAN That's great. They're all dead. WILL Not to me, they're not. SEAN Yeah, but you don't have a lot of dialog with them. You can't give back to them, Will. WILL Well, not without some serious smelling salts and a heater. SEAN Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying. You'll never have that kind of a relationship in a world where you're always afraid to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road. WILL What? You're going to take the professor's side on this? SEAN Don't give me a line of shit. No. WILL Look. I didn't want the job. SEAN It's not about the job. I don't care if you work for the government. But you can do anything you want, you are bound by nothing. What are you passionate about. What do you want? I mean there are guys who work their entire lives laying brick so that their kids have a chance at the opportunities you have here. WILL I didn't ask for this. SEAN No. You were born with it. So, don't cop out behind "I didn't ask for this." WILL What do you mean "cop out?" I mean, w-w-what's wrong with layin' brick? SEAN Nothing. WILL There's nothing wrong---That's some-- That's somebody's home I'm building. SEAN Right. My dad laid brick. Okay? Busted his ass so I could have an education. WILL Exactly. That's an honorable profession. What's wrong with..with fixing somebody's car. Someone can get to work the next day because of me. There's honor in that. SEAN Yeah, there is, Will. There is honor in that. And there's honor in, you know, taking that forty minute train ride so those (college kids come) in the morning and the floors are clean and the wastebaskets are empty. That's real work. WILL That's right. SEAN Right. And that's honorable. I'm sure that's why you took that job, I mean, for the honor of it. I just have a little question here. You could be a janitor anywhere. Why did you work at the most prestigious technical college in the whole fuckin' world? And why did you sneak around at night and finish other people's formulas that only one or two people in the world could do, and then lie about it? Cus' I don't see a lot of honor in that, Will. So, what do you really want to do? WILL I wanna' be a shepherd. SEAN Really. WILL I wanna move up to Nashua get a nice little spread get some sheep and tend to them. SEAN Maybe you should go do that. WILL What? SEAN You know, if you're going to jerk off, why don't you just do it at home with a moist towel? WILL You're chuckin' me? SEAN Yeah, get the fuck out. WILL Hey, no, no, no. Time's not up, yet. SEAN Yeah it is. WILL I'm not leavin'. No! SEAN Listen. You're not going to answer my questions, you're wasting my fuckin' time. WILL What? I thought we were friends. Whadoyou mean you-- SEAN Playtime's over, okay? WILL Well, why're you kickin' me out, Sean? I mean, what? I mean...you're lecturing me on life? Look at you, you fuckin' burnout. What winds your clock? SEAN Workin' with you. WILL Where's your soul mate? You wanna talk about soul mates? Where is she? SEAN Dead. WILL That's right, she's fuckin' dead. She fuckin' dies and you just cash in your chips and you walk away? SEAN Hey, at least I played a hand. WILL Oh...You played a hand and you lost. You lost a big fuckin' hand and some people lose a big hand like that and have the sack to ante up again. SEAN Look at me. What do you wanna do? You and your bullshit. You got a bullshit answer for everybody. But I ask you a very simple question and you can't give me a straight answer. Because you don't know. See you, bo peep. WILL Fuck you. SEAN You're the shepherd......Shepherd...Fuckin' Prick.CHUCKIE Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you. WILL What the fuck are you talkin' about? CHUCKIE Look. You got somethin' none of us-- WILL Oh come on..Wh--Why is it always this, I mean, I fuckin' owe it to myself to do this..why if I don't want to. CHUCKIE All right. No. No no. Fuck you. You don't owe it to yourself. You owe it to me. Cus' tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be fifty. And I'll still be doin' this shit. And that's all right, that's fine. I mean, you're sitting on a winnin' lottery ticket. And you're too much of a pussy to cash it in. And that's bullshit. Cus' I'd do fuckin' anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin' guys. it'd be an insult to us if you're still here in twenty years. Hanging around here is a fuckin' waste of your time. WILL You don't know that. CHUCKIE I don't? WILL No. You don't know that. CHUCKIE Oh I don't know that. Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by your house and I pick you up. And we go out, we have a few drinks, and a few laughs, and it's great. But you know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds from when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door. Because I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. No goodbye, no see you later, no nothin'. Just left. I don't know much, but I know that.
LAMBEAU
Well, what problems does he have, Sean? That he's better
off as a janitor? That he's better off in jail? Better off
hanging out with a bunch of retarded gorillas?
SEAN
Oh, why do you think he does that, Gerry? Do you have
any fuckin' clue why? Hmm?
LAMBEAU
He can handle the problems. he can handle the work. And
he obviously handled you.
SEAN
Gerry listen to me. Listen to me. Why is he hiding? Why
doesn't he trust anybody? Because the first thing that
happened to him, he was abandoned by the people who
were supposed to love him most.
LAMBEAU
Oh, come on, don't give me that Freudian crap.
SEAN
Aw, now listen, Gerry. And why does he hang out with
those retarded gorillas, as you call them? Because any
one of them, if he asked them to, would take a fuckin' bat
to your head, okay? That's called loyalty.
LAMBEAU
Yeah, that's very touching.
SEAN
And who's he handling? He pushes people away before
they have a chance to leave him. It's a defense
mechanism, all right? And for twenty years he's been
alone because of that. And if you push him right now,
it's going to be the same thing all over again, and I'm
not gunna let that happen to him.
WILL
I can...come back.
LAMBEAU
No come in. uh...I was just leaving.
SEAN
A lot of that stuff goes back a long way between me and
him. You know...it's not about you.
WILL
What is that?
SEAN
This is your file. I hafta' send it back to the judge for
evaluation.
WILL
Hey, you're not gunna fail me, are you? What's it say?
SEAN
Wanna read it?
WILL
Why?... Have you had any uh...experience with that?
SEAN
Twenty years of counseling. Yeah, I've seen some pretty
awful shit.
WILL
I mean have you had any..experience with that?
SEAN
Personally? yeah...Yeah I have.
WILL
It sure ain't good.
SEAN
My father was an alcoholic. Mean fuckin' drunk. He'd
come home hammered, lookin' to wail on somebody.
So, I had to provoke him so he wouldn't go after my
mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when
he wore his rings.
WILL
Yeah...he used to just put a uh...a wrench, a stick, and a
belt on the table, and just say choose.
SEAN
Well, I gotta' go with the belt there, Vanna.
WILL
Uh..well, I used to go with the wrench.
SEAN
Why the wrench?
WILL
cus' Fuck him, that's why.
SEAN
Your foster father?
WILL
Yeah. So uh...you know, what is it? Like, Will has an
attachment disorder? Is it all that stuff? Fear of
abandonment? Is that why uh...Is that why I broke up
with Skylar?
SEAN
I didn't know you had.
WILL
Yeah...I did.
SEAN
You wanna talk about it?
WILL
No...
SEAN
Hey, Will? I don't know a lot. But you see this? All this
shit. It's not your fault.
WILL
Yeah, I know that.
SEAN
Look at me, son. It's not your fault.
WILL
I know.
SEAN
It's not your fault.
WILL
I know.
SEAN
No, no, you don't. It's not your fault.
WILL
I know.
SEAN
It's not your fault.
WILL
All right.
SEAN
It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
WILL
Don't fuck with me.
SEAN
It's not your fault.
WILL
Don't fuck with me all right? Don't fuck with me,
Sean, not you.
SEAN
It's not your fault...It's not your fault...
WILL
(through heavy sobbing)
Oh God....Oh God, I'm so sorry...
SEAN
Fuck them, okay?
WILL
Hey, does this violate the uh...patient-doctor
relationship?
SEAN
Eh...only if you grab my ass.
WILL'S NOTE TO SEAN
Sean, if the Professor calls about that job, just tell him,
sorry, I had to go see about a girl. Will
SEAN
Son of a bitch, he stole my line.
