IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT...

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2020)

PROS:The writing of the movie is impeccable (the screenplay written by Damon and Affleck!!!). It is a story about a genious man with a traumatic childhood who believes that he knows everything because of his intelligence but in reality doesn't allow anyone to be close to him aside from his friends and dismisses every gift that he has been given. Matt Damon portrays this troubled young being impressively well as an arrogant and selfish man in the beginning but in the end he eventually lowers his defense in a emotional way.
The perfomance of Robin Williams is flawless. He shines in lots of scenes and specifically when he puts Damon's character in place by telling him that he sneers at moments that he has no real life experience (monologue in the park). He is the man that guides him to move on with his life but also learns to keep his own wounds behind.
Ben Affleck gives a strong perfomance by playing a supportive friend who desires the best for his buddy. Stellan Skarsgard and Minnie Driver add more complexity with their portrayal into Damon's character.
CONS:The way that the movie depicts the intelligence of Will Hunting is a little forced and unrealistic
