One-of-the-best teacher-student drama ever PERIOD!!!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2013)

This film shows the value of a good teacher in one's life and it also portrays the difficulties faced by geniuses so poignantly. In a way this also gives a preview of what is to come from both Affleck and Damon,brilliant in their own rights."Good Will Hunting" feels like instant therapy. It is about society's inclination to push people who maybe aren't ready to be pushed. And it's for those who believe they are academic underachievers. It does not realize how much it flirts with the "person who doesn't want to be helped" scenario. That is a powerful theme, used to devastating effect in films such as "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Taxi Driver." Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are happier than that. Where others see reality, they see hope. And so they won't quite go there.
