Good Will Hunting

I liked this movie, "Good Will Hunting" the best out of all three movies we have watched so far. It was easy to understand and up-to-date so to say, so that I could somewhat relate to the movie. It was a very good choice for a movie to watch.

The movie was about Will Hunting, who worked as the janitor at a prestigious college called "MIT." While growing up, Will didn't have a very good childhood, which I believe he took his madness and rage out on other people including at the bars. He was often beat by his dad and was also stabbed. Needless to say Will went through multiple foster homes. One day while Will was doing his janitorial work he came across a mathematical problem on a chalk board and decided to answer it. He answered it correctly and was later on discovered by Professor Lambeau. Professor Lambeau found out that Will was a try genius and wanted to put his intelligence to good use. Next, Will ends up getting in a fight and is suppose to be sent to jail for quite some time, but instead Professor Lambeau reasons with the judge and Will's punishment is changed to math classes with the professor and counseling. After going through five different psychiatrists, Professor Lambeau asks a good buddy from college, Sean.

After a few sessions of counseling with Sean, Will learns to take Sean's advice and Will in turn helps Sean move on from the death of his wife. The two help each other to grow both mentally and spiritually.

Also, during the movie Will meets a girl that is going to college to become a doctor and is very intelligent as well. He falls in love with her and eventually follows her to California in the end.

I think that the hero in this movie is the psychiatrist Sean. Sean was a hero to Will by helping him to deal with his madness and to help the world. Also, Sean helped Will to follow his dreams and heart, including with Will's girlfriend.

In addition, I think that the symbolism in this movie is Will's intelligence and how everyone wishes they had it, but he didn't think it was that important.
