High Concept college movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 1998)

Good Will Hunting is an enjoyable look at life through the eyes of two screenwriters who seem upset at the lack of recognition for the talent they feel they have. It follows the three act high concept paradigm ( or formula ) to the letter. Act.1 Introduce the Character Act.2 Put the Character through a test Act.3 Watch the character redeem himself. The film is a metaphor for the lives of Affleck and Damon. Two kids that feel they are talented actors / filmmakers who haven't been recognised, dream about 'what if we could prove ourselves to be more talented than those with better credentials.' If we could beat the MIT maths professor without having to study. The irony is that they did prove it, they won an Oscar. This film is basically Top Gun set in academia.
