Good Will Hunting

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2010)

I rented this movie a week ago, not expecting too much from it. After viewing this movie I was blown away. I thought the acting was exceptional. Robin Williams made easily the best performance of his career. Being that this movie was basically the start of both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's careers, it was a great start for both of them. If the performance by Matt Damon is not Best Actor material, then I have never seen it.
The movie is about a janitor at MIT, named Will Hunting (Damon) who is a mathematical genius. He has solved a couple of equations off of chalkboards that none of the students at MIT could solve. For one reason or another, he would rather go out and drink, although underage, with his buddies (Affleck and company) than do something with his life, other than work as a janitor. As he has been abused all of his life, he seeks guidance in his life from a psychiatrist named Sean Maguire (Best Supporting Actor Williams).
This movie is definitely one of my top 20 favorite movies of all time. If you catch it on TV, or have to rent it, do not miss this movie. This is the real Best Picture of 1997. 9/10 stars
