Good Will Hunting (1997)

This flick of the year 1997, the year that marked motley of films, films like Titanic, As Good As It Gets, L.A. Confidential and not to forget The Full Monty were all brilliant. But in all that hype, stood Good Will Hunting, penned down by Matt Damon ( as a assignment for a playwriting class ) and Ben Affleck, starring Robin Williams and the writers of the film with also Stellan and Minnie Driver.

Good Will Hunting is a journey, a quirky journey that was well written. This quirky journey is actually quite predictable and might be fairly common to some but intensely rich at the same time. Plus the psychological aspect of the film is quite believable since it is comprehensible for a human to sidestep responsibility and shove the blame, that concept was well grasped. The fragility that gets denied by the main character, Will Hunting is also found quite common in people and that is executed vividly.

  The cast has done a brilliant job especially Robin Williams who displayed a full spectrum of emotions in his role with that beard which he grew for his role. Minnie Driver executed her part quite plausibly. Matt Damon played his part as Will Hunting well by showing acknowledgement of the complexity and the torment during personal growth exceptionally.

This movie has a real slice of life and could be watched again and again and still it would ignite something inside.
