Will Hunt's Film Criticism

1997' s Good Will Hunting is a classic. When the depressing and slightly hopeful opening music sounded, people slowly entered this touching and heartbreaking story of spiritual rebirth. Over the years, there have been too many film reviews about Good Will Hunting. While people are admiring the miraculous change of the protagonist's will, I want to talk about the sideline characters and supporting roles in the play.

The success of this film lies in that everyone is not an independent paper maker. If you think carefully about everyone's words, you can feel their inner pain and desire, and these pains and desires are vividly displayed through their conversations, struggles with people around them, or loneliness when they are alone. Under the profound observation, we found that we humans have the same tragic fate, so eager to be loved, understood and seen.

At the beginning of the film, Rambo, a math professor who won the Fields Medal, gave a very free and easy class demonstration. In fact, Professor Rambo, who has a charming appearance and high academic achievements, is an unhappy person. Since he was a teenager, he has won praise and attention from others through his academic achievements. He believes that only if he is good enough can he be loved by people. The lack of self-confidence in intimate relationships made Professor Rambo struggle to support himself for many years, but one day he was defeated by a cleaner. Those mathematical talents that he is proud of and regarded as part of his own value are not worth mentioning and vulnerable in front of a cleaner named Will. Professor Rambo fell into deep anxiety, so he had the opportunity to re-examine himself.

When he was a teenager, he followed Professor Rambo. The psychologist Thorne was remembered by Professor Rambo at the critical moment to save Will's soul, but obviously, Professor Rambo didn't like Thorne. You know, Will saw five psychiatrists. Finally, when he was desperate, Professor Rambo said that everyone had an idea. It can be seen that this person is unwilling to face Rambo, but he agrees with it in his heart.

If we go back to the time in the movie more than 20 years ago, imagine that Thorne, who was born in poverty and his father was a construction worker, was abused to be introverted and lonely, and faced Rambo, who was handsome and invincible as a schoolmaster, how inconspicuous and non-mainstream. At that time, Rambo despised Thorne, and how many times Thorne was hurt by Rambo's superiority. The inner struggle between the two old people has been entangled for many years, so that Thorne has never been interested in attending regular reunion ceremonies. He would rather avoid it than touch the pain of that year. However, in this action to save the talented boy Will, the two enemies met again.

Besides Rambo's entanglement with Thorne, there are other minor clues. For example, among the friends who hang out with Will, there are Chuck and Morgan. They fight and hang out together, and are regarded as marginal teenagers by everyone. But even among these people, there is an undercurrent. Although Will was born in poverty and abused by many foster families, he was treated specially by Chuck, the oldest of these teenagers, because of his high talent.

Chuck will introduce Will to the work on the construction site. When Will is about to give up, he will say some touching words-"I will pick you up at your house every day, and we will go out to drink and laugh together. That's great. But the best moment of my day is only ten seconds. From parking to your door, I hope you leave every time I knock on the door. Never say goodbye forever, nothing, and you left. I don't know much, but I know it very well. " For Chuck, Will is a part of his ideal, or how much he wants to be a genius who can control his own destiny like Will, but God doesn't care, so Chuck chooses to protect this talented boy as much as possible and send his blessing at the right time.

Compared with Will's genius and Chuck's boss position, Morgan in the foursome is the most insignificant little role. People even give him a slightly ironic nickname "Grey Mouse". But for Morgan, who is short and dark, his greatest wish in his heart is to get Chuck's approval. So in the process of getting along, he will constantly provoke Chuck. Although he often embarrassed himself and presented an image of a little boy full of resentment and anger that could not be recognized by his powerful father, Morgan had to compromise in the face of the cold world.

So when Chuck said that Will would be introduced to the construction site, Morgan would be very angry and say, "I asked you for it early in the morning, but you never satisfied me." Later, when Will, who filled Chuck's heart, finally succeeded in getting out of the four-person world and heading for his own world, Morgan was more excited than anyone else. He jumped up from the back seat of the car, rushed to the front row, and sat in the seat that once belonged to Will. His mood was high, which seemed to show that life had brought him new hope, that is, he might win more attention and recognition from Chuck in the future.

In fact, Morgan is not the only child who longs for the approval of a strong father. Professor Rambo's assistant Tom is also such a lost child. He followed Professor Rambo for many years, but he didn't get more love and attention from Professor Rambo. When Will, who was just a teenager that day, was wantonly wasting the care and opportunities offered by Professor Rambo, on a sad afternoon, he said something to Will, who came to see Professor Rambo, roughly meaning, "Many people don't know their talents, because they can't find a teacher who believes in them, so they firmly believe that they are stupid. I hope you can cherish this opportunity, because it is beyond the reach of too many people. " Next, Professor Rambo & amp walked into the office and naturally said to his assistant Tom, "Go and get me a cup of coffee. I want to talk to Will & amprdq."

uo； . At this time, the film pulls out the lonely figure that the assistant can't get rid of his fate.

And will's Harvard girlfriend is also such a child who longs for love. The girl who inherited a large inheritance was anxious to exchange all her money for her father's life. In the relationship with Will, she has been waiting for Will's initiative. She didn't dare to take risks, for fear that she would lose her will like losing her father. So, even after receiving Will's phone call for the first time, she pretended to be calm. When Will went directly to the girl's apartment to find her, she refused to get along with her lover on the pretext of finishing her chemistry homework. The superficial calm is just a restraint to the heart. In her mind, there is still the little girl who is full of guilt about her father's departure. She is afraid that if she is too enthusiastic, she will be punished by fate again. When she got up the courage and hoped that Will would accompany her to other cities for further study, Will, who was full of pain, rudely refused her, so the girl dared not insist. She thought that Will's departure was her destiny, just like her father's sudden death.

Good Will Hunting is such an absent-minded film. It seems dull, but it is arranged ingeniously everywhere. Everyone is a story and struggle history about the suffering of human mind. Fortunately, in the end, Will finally got out of the haze and faced life again. As family therapy says, each of us is in a system, and only by dancing harmoniously with others can we achieve health and perfection. When Will makes changes to this system for the first time, maybe the fate of others around him will take a turn and make new arrangements. Zhou mangrove psychology consulting center
