Comment for Good Will Hunting
The name of the movie is Good Will Hunting, it tells a story of a lonely intelligent young man releasing his encounters in the past; learning to be loved and love others; “hunting”for the correct direction of his life through the things he experienced and the people around him.
The movie started by the scene of numerous Mathematical books, it shows his first character, he loves reading and has an extensive knowledge in math. The next lens is his friends came to pick up him, the process is muted and both of them said no word, which indicates his silent and introverted personality. Then the following plots present the figures of a group of furious and offensive young men who always attend to fight. Above made a show of personalities and lay the background of the story.
There are four relationships in the movie: Will and his friends, Will and Skylar, Will and Sean, Lambeau and Sean.
Will and his friends
The first are his three friends, they talk to each other with dirty words; don‟t have any ambition and work as labors or do some sanitary works because they were not well educated and civilized; hanging out together is the only fun. On the other hand, they got the closest and intimate relationship; they never allow others to insult any one in them. They are
the same kind of people perhaps because they all have unbeknown misfortunes in the past, they all passive, lonely, and afraid of hurt; they are so afraid of lonely so they like being together and passing in and out the chaos bar; they are so afraid to express themselves so they talk rudely; they are so afraid of hurts from others so they hurt others initiatively. There is a fragment which adequately shows their aloneness that one of them wants to drive farther road for lunch, but another young man said: “because you like the take-out girl in the canteen”. That means they have affections but they don‟t express them directly like ordinary people. Will is same with them and also he is different from them. He talks few and sometimes he like taking the bus alone to avoid the noise of people and licking the pain himself, because the noise can only bring him away from the scar in his heart for a little while, being alone can make him feel safe and no one will see him through. And he also has his amazing intelligence on math unknown by others. The three guys are the whole relationship between him and the outside word before he met the people who would change his life. They are not good at expressing their feelings in words, they are rude and poor, but they will bring Will a car for his birthday present. This taught Will that there is a kind of wordless love called friendship.
