Movie No 2 - Good Will Hunting

Which movie have I watched the most number of times ?
Instantly my mouth will utter GOOD WILL HUNTING... Why? Lets see..

First of all it stars Matt Damon, one of the best dialogue deliverers in Hollywood. Second, its his own screenplay!! (well, Ben Affleck added a few lines to it too I guess.. :P). Last but not the least, it stars Robin Williams, and that too in a sentimental and inciting movie, playing the mature friend cum philosopher character (none does that better than him, eg. Dead Poets Society, Patch Adams etc).

Plot Outline:
A trailer trash punk who possesses insane mathematical genius in him (they compare him with our Srinivasa Ramanujan) works as a janitor in MIT and solves the toughest challenges chalked on the board outside the mathematics classroom but is reluctant to make his life in academics. Caught red handed by the mathematics professor (supposedly a Fields Medal winner - played by cold-eyed villainous Stellan Sakrsgard) and is invited to work under him serving that time on parole (basically, Matt gets nabbed for hooliganism). Matt obviously amazes the professor but maintains the air of superiority due to his genius and constantly screws up the job interviews setup by the professor. One more condition for him to be on parole is to be under the treatment from a psychologist and so the professor invites renowned psychologists whom Matt with his genius discomforts and drives them off. So, the professor knows that only one person can help him and it is his college time rival , Robin Williams who due to the constant pressure of competition from the professor gave up mathematics and chose psychology instead and is like a street smart pro in it. Matt tries to discomfort Robin in the very first meeting and ticks off Robin enough for Robin to choke Matt. In the next meeting, Robin takes Matt to the park and explains him how his genius is no use in understanding the realites of life. Slowly they bond together, also with Matt falling in love for a Harvard medical graduate gal alongside. The story goes on as the professor pressurizes Matt to work under him, Matt is defensive in revealing his girl friend that he is an orphan and was raised by a cruel foster father , Robin fights the professor constantly to allow Matt to chose his own way of life, and also Ben Affleck (yeah, forgot to mention that he's also in that movie... and infact, hez pretty cool in it) kicking Matt to use his genius constructively and finally, Matt breaks up with his girlfriend, Robin & professor argue infront of Matt, Robin consoles a crying Matt (coz Robin pries Matt to open up his feelings) and atlast Matt goes off to be with his girlfriend leaving all behind to 'see about a girl' !

Comments:
I know the plot is kinda uninteresting. Yes, it is from the outside. But what drives the movie in top speed is the screenplay (it got an OSCAR!!) and obviously the acting. Moment you watch the famous bar scene you'll know that the movie is worth the Oscar and as it goes on you will find that the bar scene was juz like a trailer for the awesomeness of the screenplay!



And below is the scene in which Robin explains how Matt's genius is not enough to understand life. One of the best scenes in the movie.



Anyways,this movie has got tons of such scenes and it is what makes this movie an amazing experience to watch.

Recommendation:
A must watch for everyone and especially for girls coz you'll obviously drool over Matt for his fresh looks and carefree streetboy attitude! ;-)
