Good script and actors

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 1998)

I really love this movie. The script was wonderfully written. It combines with lots of literary elements, such as a person's quest of self, pair contrast, etc. The genius, the math professor and the shrink establish a well-constructed triangular attachment and conflict. And the three actors, especially Robin Williams, are all excellent indeed. But near the end, this gifted kid seems to change himself too fast. A bit inconvincible But still it's a touching movie, dealing with value judgment, friendship, and "carpe diem". For those who haven't seen this, go see it!
