Good Will Hunting

Watched this almost 1.5+ months ago, but haven’t had time to review it.

Anyways, been meaning to watch this for a super super long time but haven’t had the chance to do so until now. Had really high expectations about it and surprisingly, it turned out to be somewhat different than what I expected but still met my high standards anyways! No wonder it won so many awards.

Before I watched it, I actually thought that another character would be playing Matt Damon’s character, but no, it was Matt Damon. Since I got that mixed up, the story went in a different direction than I had anticipated, but it was still really very good, especially because of the story and the direction. The story development was frustrating at times but it was what the movie tried to achieve, so I have no complaints about that. The ending was also quite good.

Performances were of course very solid from the all-star cast, but the person who stood out the most for me was actually Minnie Driver, who unfortunately did not win any awards or nominations for her role. Her character was really charming and man, a lot of her lines were just really funny. I think it’s because she’s English, which is awesome.

All in all, a very good movie that deserves all its praise. Had some very moving scenes too that really got to me. Robin Williams, you…!!! Not sure how he can seem so convincing and moving while saying such cheesy lines, but hey, that’s the magic of it, I guess. 90/100
