  • Hiya! So today I'm reacting to Good Will Hunting (currently Number 81 on IMDb's chart of 250 Greatest Movies of All Time). After this video, however, I will mostly be using suggestions found in the comments instead of choosing from a list at random. I appreciate the support you've shown by viewing my past videos and/or this one. Thank you for watching!

    The fart story scene was completely improvised by robin williams and the laughter by matt damon was genuine. In fact, you may notice the camera was shaking a bit because the cameraman and crew were breaking up with laughter. The director liked it so much, he kept the scene in the film.

    This movie won two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor for Robin Williams and Best Original Screenplay for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. It was their first ever screenplay.
    For another Robin Williams movie that will make you cry, you should watch Dead Poets Society. And I think you would love The Shawshank Redemption as well, but can't say why without giving spoilers. It is just the #1 movie on IMDB Top 250 list.

      Apparently Matt and Ben wanted to make it into a thriller much like 'A beautiful mind' with Russel Crowe. When they showed it to Rob Reiner and stated their intention Rob asked them why they were trying to ruin this great script lol. Needless to say they took Robs advice.

    You’re definitely one of the more insightful reactors I’ve watched. A lot of folks just very superficially give their take on the movie, no real analysis, no real examination of themes, no real discussion about the film’s place in culture. What really makes reactions transformative is what it makes you think and feel, not the big pops when something dramatic happens. Keep it up, I’m really looking forward to what you do next.

    I gotchu on the math.
    The first problem was about walks on graphs, more or less a routine problem in linear algebra. The second problem was also about graphs, determining how many different graphs are equivalent to a given one of a certain shape. That one’s not too hard either. The third problem you asked about is a bit harder, and it’s about finding a formula for the number of ways to color the vertices on that Triforce-looking shape such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. Although they’re not super-hard or particularly deep problems, they are also not trivial exercises, they are real, and they do look nice on film when you present the shapes and equations for the audience.

      I pretty much figured as this. As a software engineer, I'm aware that most computer languages look complicated to those who don't understand it, when in reality, it's not all that difficult, it just takes a logical mind to understand. I know mathematics is the same. It's ironic, I can write algorithms in several computer languages, but not so much in mathematics languages.

    • @matthew55793
      @matthew55793 Год назад +4

      The math is real, but it's not what they presented it as. They presented a lot of it as something that a serious mathematician would really look deeply at, something that would be meaningful because of its insight, and while they could have used stuff like that they didn't. Nothing in this movie is nothing more than high-level busywork.

      Very well put. I got a headache trying to recall my college finite math, etc..and they are real problems. There was just so much rust on my brain it took days to get through the first 2, a month to get thru the 3rd. lol. I entered the banking/finance field where none of this was applicable at Charles Schwab. lol. But it was worth the revisit just to see if I could work thru it. Common core has ruined students minds ( the smart ones). Forcing the top of the class to come down to the idiot level with dots and diagrams when all you need to do is carry a digit to the next column. This is why the avg IQ has dropped 9 points in 30 years.

    I grew up with the same type of childhood. I'm 32 years old and I've been and still am healing from it all.
    If you did not grow up with an abusive / alcoholic environment it's nearly impossible to understand the amount of issues you get downloaded onto you. Everyone basically thinks you're crazy, you get called many names, etc. You learn to lie to protect yourself from an early age even to doctors, "I fell down the stairs and there was a knife at the bottom..." type of lies. It's rough to trust anyone after abuse and lies start early from your "guardians".
    When there's no one else to take care of you, and you don't believe that any adult wants to actually help you out... you have to do whatever it takes to survive.
    This movie really helped me not feel alone growing up and really helped me grasp that only I was in the way of a better future for myself.

It really is the perfect way to describe them. They sincerely needed one another to push through the difficult crossroads in their respective lives. Brilliantly written.

    I enjoyed your reaction and I find it really elucidating to see someone react who doesn't have a strong understanding of Will's inherent distrust of everyone. You're in the majority I'm sure, but it's refreshing to see how it looks like from that side; The frustration with his self-sabotage and irritation that he just can't make anything of his talents. It's like you understand on paper, but not internally what it's like to be that broken. I found that refreshing and interesting.

      They exist, people just don't know where to look. I've mostly abandoned Hollywood but they still surprise me sometimes. But they exist out there, somewhere. Sometimes as a short TV series, or film that flies under most people's radar or films people avoided because they believed they wouldn't of liked them.
      When I mean you have to look outside of Hollywood. I mean video games are a good example with some of the best stories the last twenty years, or film/TV markets like Japan's animated film industry which has produced some of the best films of our generation.
      That being said, not everything is about story telling either. Presentation matters as well. Perfect blend of atmosphere, music, dialogue, camera work. Even if one element is missing it can completely destroy a scene. I mean it is what makes a movie vs just a short story you've read. You can take the best story ever written and still make a bad movie of it even if you have every ounce that story present.

    Great reaction! I love Williams in this one. He's rightfully loved as a comedic actor, but this is one of those memorable dramatic performances he had that really showed his range and depth of feeling. An absolutely unforgettable performance.
    I appreciate how much you're getting invested in these movies and are taking the time to look at them analytically as well as emoting to what you see (though that's great too). Not every reactor is as mindful about character motivations and theming as that. I hope you keep it up. Tell your cat I also appreciate them and their vigilance in guarding the wall socket.
    I support doing random IMDb picks because it can be fun and a good way to start, but whenever you feel comfortable doing so I would still suggest looking for other sources of recommendations. That list has a lot of great movies but is also fairly flawed with a lot of recency bias and weighs votes in a way that a lot of major blockbusters that (while decent movies) maybe shouldn't be on it are there. It tends to over-prioritize American films as well since a disproportionate number of people rating films will be American. 20 of the top 100 are non-English language. Over half the movies in the top 100 came out after 1990 and about a third since 2000, in a medium about 120 years old. To be clear, the movies that are on that list that I've seen are generally good movies and are worth watching, and ultimately you will probably enjoy watching them, but there's also a lot you'll miss out on if you strictly stick to that list long-term. At some point if you feel up to it I would suggest looking up some critics' top film lists, or perhaps things like Oscar nominated films of the past or the AFI (American Film Institute) lists (though the latter also is strictly American cinema by definition), etc. etc. To be clear I'm not saying this is something you need to think about right now, but If you eventually decide that film is a medium you really like and want to explore deeply, this will probably be something you'll want to do at some point.

Went home and tried solving it but couldn't and he couldn't ask the professor about it because he didn't want to get called out for missing the lecture. So in the end he solved it and gave the prof his book. He thought he might be too late but apperently he just solved one of the unsolvable math questions and mostly because no one told him that it couldn't be solved :D

Out of the movies on the list, I would recommend "To Kill a Mockingbird". It is an older movie but is very important historically. It also has a great script, great acting, and was a protest against racism at a time when racism was rampant. It is Black and White but I'm sure you would enjoy it. Keep up the good work.

The thing that makes us be frustradet with Will for me is that he is so real, not all movie characters feels real and genuin.

    ...never been here before... but I never miss a chance at a GWH react... especially when I see the reactor is a young person... and this reactor... with all that crazy nervous banter... chatter all the way... then... complete silence, and a slightly gaped jaw at Robin's famous monologue.... and in that moment... Whimsory was pure reaction gold... everything one could hope for!
    ...then at the I Don't Love You line Whimsory perfectly responds with "Hard to watch! That hurts. Why would he say that?" ...really great stuff.
    ...and yet at the 'It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's not your fault.' moment of truth -- no tears!?! So...
    Whimsory saved it with her great post react commentary. Very good indeed!

    One of the important messages of this movie that many miss is what Robin Williams' character was trying to say to the math professor: Talented people who pursue that talent but aren't passionate or excited about it end up discontented and unfulfilled. It's better to "waste" your talent than to waste your life.

    Stelan is an amazing actor. I seen this movie at the theater with my dad. It is one of my favorite movies and still to this day. At the end of the movie when Robin Williams says that son of a b*tch stole my line. That was improvised by Robin. They kept it in the movie. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote this film. Robin got an academy award for this film. Matt Damon and Ben Afflack got an academy award for writing this film too

    Will wasn't really worried she would be boring, he was just using that as an excuse so he didn't have to face the fact he was afraid he would eventually have to let her know all the messed up parts of his life, and even more afraid she wouldn't accept him when she knew them. Him saying that is just a way to deflect and not have to face a challenge.
    Awesome reaction! It was fun to watch, and you have some super insightful thoughts. Thanks for sharing them with us!

    One of my all time favorite films and Robin Williams performance in this is one of my all time favorite performances from any actor, period. You should check out Louis CK's free clip of his Sorry standup he has on youtube. He does a great bit about the "how do you like them apples" scene.
    Also, on a side note. Did you film this after filming a commercial for some kind of hair product or something?? Your hair looked stellar for someone just sitting around watching a movie in a baseball cap :D

    I know you've gotten tons of recommendations, but if you're interested in another film written by the same person starring in it, you should check out "Rocky." Written by Sylvester Stallone, and he was super broke (had to sell his dog) but wouldn't agree to selling the rights to the movie unless he was also the lead. It's become a classic.
    And he bought his dog back :)

    I'm really fond of your reactions and how you pick the movies! If you stick with it, I suppose the only time it'd need tweaking is if you pick a sequel to a movie you haven't seen. Normally that's pretty obvious but maybe not so much with some entries like The Dollars Trilogy, each with somewhat different names. :)
    A few things in life have happened - or not - in recent years that make this movie mean a lot more to me; Will reminds me of someone I've known. On top of that, watching along with your reaction and thoughts this time, Will and Sean also reminded me of a pair of characters from the Last Airbender series, odd as that may sound, haha. Anyway, thank you for the beautiful reaction!

  • @tltatt
    @tltatt Год назад

    Great reaction to a great movie. So far, picking random movies from the list has worked for you. I wish you were able to do reactions twice a week (or even more often) and then I would suggest alternating using a list for random picks and using viewer suggestions. Although after looking at the IMDB list it seems very low on comedies and musicals which are some my favorites (especially for reactions).
    As has been pointed out by other commenters, using viewer suggestions could lead to mostly the same films being reacted to by most other reactors which may bring more views (which may be good for growing your channel because they are very popular) but there are only so many times I want to watch reactions to any particular movie so I'm hopeful for some different movies getting reactions.
    There's over 100 years of movies to pick from and the vast majority of reactions are from the past 50 years or so leaving a lot of older movies with few if any reactions. I also know that older films don't attract as many views but I still hope to see more of them.

    Your synopsis of the movie was excellent ... not many pick up on the "love" Wills friends have for him, they aren't envious of him and they want him to reach his full potential ... You're right about the bench speech, it's amazing ... One thing you are wrong about is your "self-doubt" ! You have accomplished something, you've built an excellent YT channel with 15.5 K subs in a short time with some excellent movie reactions & reviews (ok, I've only seen 3 but I would imagine they're all good !) ... Yes, Robin Williams was an amazing actor / comedian /person, it's tragic what he went through in the last few years of his life. If you get chance, I'd love to see you react to 'Dead Poets Society' with Robin W. in fact I'll throw down a challenge to you, to produce the best ever reaction to it ... I think you probably can !

    Yes, the maths is real. Some of it looks a lot more complicated than it actually is. The first problem Lambeau puts up as a challenge is a very complex series of equations related to graph theory. The second problem, the trees, isn't actually that difficult and I think most people could solve it if they had the basics of Cayley's formula explained to them. Which is funny considering the movie presents it as the harder proof.
