No, I didn't rush the f***in' field, I wasn't there.
I can't f***in' believe you had tickets to that f***in' game! Goin', "God! Get out of the way! Get 'em away!" Banging people. Yeah, and he's f***in' bowlin' police out of the way! OH, he goes apeshit, and 35,000 fans, you know, they charge the field, you know? He's going, "Get over! Get over! Get OVER!" And then it HITS the foul pole. High fly ball down the left field line! Thirty-five thousand people, on their feet, yellin' at the ball, but that's not because of Fisk. Steps up to the plate, you know, and he's got that weird stance.Īnd BAM! He clocks it. Bottom of the 12th, in stepped Carlton Fisk. You know, bottom of the 8th Carbo ties it up at a 6-6. I was sittin' in a bar, waitin' for the game to start, and in walks this girl. My friends and I had, you know, slept out on the sidewalk all night to get tickets. Cus' it was game six of the World Series. So, when did you know, like, that she was the one for you? Scenes such as Affleck's clumsy pep talk to Damon while they drink beer after work, or any number of therapy session between Williams and Damon offer poignant looks at the awkward ways men show affection and feeling for one another. The film's beauty lies not with grand climaxes, but with small, quiet moments. Both doctor and patient are haunted by the past, and as mutual respect develops, the healing process begins. Damon only avoids prison by agreeing to see psychiatrists, all of whom he mocks or psychologically destroys until he meets his match in the professor's former childhood friend, played by Williams. While working as a university janitor, he solves an impossible calculus problem scribbled on a hallway blackboard and reluctantly becomes the prodigy of an arrogant MIT professor (Stellan Skarsgård). Matt Damon stars as Will Hunting, a closet math genius who ignores his gift in favor of nightly boozing and fighting with South Boston buddies (co-writer Ben Affleck among them). Van Sant pulls off the equivalent of what George Cukor accomplished for women's melodrama in the '30s and '40s: He's crafted an intelligent, unabashedly emotional male weepie about men trying to find inner-wisdom. The unconventional director (My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy) saves a script marred by vanity and clunky character development by yanking soulful, touching performances out of his entire cast (amazingly, even one by Williams that's relatively schtick-free). In the same interview, Matt Damon describes just how far they have come and states writing another film with Ben Affleck has been a completely different experience creatively.Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nabbed one for Best Original Screenplay, but the feel-good hit Good Will Hunting triumphs because of its gifted director, Gus Van Sant.
The film basically launched their careers, and both actors have been in their fair share of major films and franchises, individually winning many awards during their career – including the Oscar they share for writing Good Will Hunting. It seems like it’s been a lifetime since the creation of the iconic Good Will Hunting, and the two friends have certainly lived lives of which most can only dream. So, we had all these kind of disparate scenes and then we kind of tried to jam them together into something that looked like a movie. We'd be like, 'Well, what if this happened?,' and then we'd just write different scenes. You know, because we didn't really understand structure so we wrote thousands of pages. I think that writing process for Good Will Hunting was so inefficient. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Damon explains just how many scenes were actually written for the film and how unnecessary it was: Being so new and handling such a daunting task, the two apparently put out a massive quantity of pages for the screenplay, resulting in a pretty inefficient movie-making process. When the pair wrote the film, they had only appeared in a few projects prior, and they usually appeared together. Good Will Hunting is just a plain impressive movie, but it is even more so when you consider that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were pretty young and inexperienced.
