Good Will Hunting is one of the greatest movies of all time and helped to shape Matt Damon's career, while also changing the way people view and judge movies. The movie revolves around Will Hunting, who happens to be a twenty year old with a genius-level IQ that chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. After he discovers an extremely difficult math equation written on a chalkboard, Will finishes the equation, and by doing that, an award winning mathematician professor discovers the janitor's potential. Because only a handful of people in the world can solve the problem, Will's brilliance is quickly demonstrated. The professor goes to find Hunting, but the teacher only discovers the genius after Will gets arrested for assault. While in jail, Will makes a deal with the professor to work with him a few times a week and go to therapy once a week, and in return, he will be released from prison. 

 After working with Will, the mathematics professor soon learns that Hunting's bright mind could be once-in-a generation and could potentially rival the likes of Albert Einstein. However, things do not going so smoothly with therapy. Will doesn't think that he needs it, assuming that therapy is just a waste of time, so he goes out of his way to be obnoxious, difficult, and be as unhelpful as possible. Because of this, the mathematician goes to an old friend of his and asks him to act as a psychologist to Will. The main goal of the therapy is to help Will with his issues and teach him that he should be making better use of his time, not getting drunk with his friends, getting into fist fights, spending way too much time at a bar, and working as a construction worker, but instead use his brains for the better good of mankind.  

 It takes awhile, but Will soon opens up to the psychologist, and a close, powerful bond is soon created. However, the same cannot be said about the relationship between the psychologist and the mathematician. The professor wants to make the psychologist convince young Will about his need to change the world and do what the teacher would do, if he had Will's mind. Because the professor understands Will on a more personal level, he refuses to, and this causes many feuds between the two old friends as they quarrel over the right way to handle Will's situation. But at the end of the day, Will is confronted with unlimited possibilities, and he is forced to decide what he wants to do with his life, regardless of what everyone else thinks, which happens to be something Will hasn't even begun to dwell on. 

 Matt Damon is just perfect as Will Hunting in Good Will Hunting, and he just couldn't have acted any better. Robin Williams as the psychologist is a perfect match, and the combination of a perfecting acting duo between Matt Damon and Robin Williams, as well as Will Hunting and his best friend, who's played by Ben Affleck, (Damon's best friend at the time the movie was made) helps to create the actors' chemistry with one another to the next level.

 Good Will Hunting is just fabulous from start to finish and possesses a marvelous tale that is beautifully depicted that is sure to impress. The dialogue of Good Will Hunting is simply brilliant, and saying it is spectacular feels like an understatement. The enticing ending of the movie is heartwarming, emotionally rich, and truly helps to elevate this movie to the next level, as well as match the greatness that the middle and the beginning of the movie create. The beginning starts things off incredibly and sets the tone for the rest of the movie to follow, and the middle just continues to add on to this amazingness without over-complicating the plot, but, instead, managing to pack the plot to the brim with character development and dramatic, intense scenes. 

 The visual effects of Good Will Hunting aren't exactly the greatest, but they aren't a necessity. The movie doesn't need modern-day technology to shine, because the actors and the dialogue are just so superb that visuals aren't even considered in the slightest bit when people view Good Will Hunting. Not only does the movie continue to be an enormous hit with viewers, but it was also a triumphant success with critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an outstanding 97%, and it seems like everyone from across the board were fans of the compelling story. A whopping 94% of Google users liked the movie, helping to demonstrate that the movie appeals to a wide variety of groups. Good Will Hunting is one of the movie industry's greatest and is an absolute must see for just about anyone and everyone, as long as they are able to watch a movie with some explicit language.
