Good Will
Hunting
DOWN &
DIRTY:
Drama: A therapist tries to help
a brilliant, but troubled young
man overcome his personal
problems and realize his
potential.
NITTY GRITTY:
Will Hunting (MATT DAMON) is a
brilliant, but troubled
twenty-year-old. Able to solve
complex mathematical problems,
Will is incredibly book smart,
but also a street tough.
Having never left South Boston,
Will spends his days working as a
janitor and his nights drinking
and partying with his buddies
Chuckie (BEN AFFLECK), Morgan
(CASEY AFFLECK) and Billy (COLE
HAUSER). He also meets a Harvard
student (MINNIE DRIVER), who he
really likes.
When mathematics professor
Lambeau (STELLAN SKARSGARD)
discovers that Will has
anonymously solved a math problem
his own university students
couldn't, he sets out to find
this brilliant thinker. The
problem is, Will's in jail after
being arrested for fighting.
Lambeau goes out on a limb and
arranges for Will to be let out
under his supervision. The
conditions are that Will meet
weekly with him to discuss
mathematics as well as with a
psychiatrist to discuss his
personal problems.
After his cocky, smart-aleck
attitude scares off other
therapists, Lambeau turns to Sean
McGuire (ROBIN WILLIAMS), his
former college roommate and now a
professor of psychology. Just as
stubborn as Will, Sean works hard
to get inside the prodigy's head.
At the same time, Skylar tries to
get inside his heart, and both
hope the young man will fully
realize his potential.
THE ENDING:
Will finally leaves South Boston
in an old beat up car to go to
California to be with Skylar.
WHAT EVERYONE WILL BE
TALKING ABOUT:
Robin Williams' Oscar
winning performance.
