I WISH I had the ability to figure out numbers like Will Hunting!! I absolutely love this film! – Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote and starred as Chuckie Sullivan (Affleck) and Will Hunting (Damon) in this undeniably beautiful story. Directed by Gus Van Sant and released in 1998, the film shows that ‘Some people can never believe in themselves, until someone else believes in them’.
I loved Will’s arrogance and stubbornness juxtaposed against his intelligence and fear of believing in himself ( I cant believe I just used the word ‘juxtaposed’ – welcome to high school English again.. :P) Anyhoo…Matt’s performance was fantastic, and as much as you wanted to slap Will Hunting and say ‘wake up to yourself’, I also felt his fear and vulnerability as a character which just made me want to hug him – I love movies that get you really connected to the characters. I also loved Minne Drivers performance as she played Will’s love interest Skylar, I loved her down to earth performance of the character, I found it was fun to watch and also very relatable from and audience perspective, not to mention her is has stunningly unique facial features that makes her interesting to watch visually.
I think I would rate this movie another 8.5 out of 10 – I know it seems like I’m ranking these really high and all – but I keep watching these amazing movies!!.. I know its only early days – but I really think this will make my top 100!!
