Good Will Hunting

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2015)

The winner of Project Greenlight, "Good Will Hunting" to me deserved to win every award that there was giving in 1997. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck did an amazing job depicting the want to be good enough to move on with "will" a metaphor established for the main character "Will" as he journeys from his innermost want to a real goal in society. The story journeys with Will as he battles his own demons for a chance to express himself in smarts. The movie explores the differences in classes in society in Boston but really stood as a metaphor not just for that difference in society, but of gender, status and affiliation as well. Themes that came up were "boys will be boys", "I am the King of my own mansion", "where there's 'will', there's a way" and "dreams, they do come true".
