Tentang film Good Will Hunting

"Mastin? Gooooood"

Eh, itu Good yang lain. Ini quotes yang bener:

"You don't know about real loss, 'cause that only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.

I look at you. I don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius, Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine. You ripped my fuckin' life apart. You're an orphan, right? Do you think I'd know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, 'cause I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally, I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't wanna do that, do you, sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief."

Film ini pertama tayang tahun 2007. Tentang Will Hunting, seorang remaja jenius berusia 20-an, yang memiliki abandonment issue. Will bekerja sebagai janitor di MIT. Film ini disutradarai oleh Gus Van Sant (Sutradara Elephant dan Milk) dan dibintangi oleh Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, dan tentunya-the great Robin Williams. Film ini tentang bagaimana Sean (Robin Williams) membantu Will (Mat Damon) untuk sadar, bahwa hidup tidak untuk disia-siakan, dan masa lalunya bukan salahnya.

Berlian, meskipun berada dalam lumpur, tetaplah berlian. Will Hunting, meskipun miskin dan tidak kuliah, suka menghabiskan waktunya untuk membaca buku dan memecahkan soal matematika. Bakat ini ditemukan oleh Profesor Gerard Lambau, yang memberikan soal matematika tingkat tinggi kepada muridnya di kelas, namun justru Will yang bisa memecahkannya. Will kemudian ditahan karena memukul polisi yang pernah memukulnya ketika kecil. Lambau berhasil membuat Will bebas bersyarat asalkan Will membantunya dalam penelitian dan bertemu secara berkala dengan terapis. Banyak terapis menyerah untuk menolong Will sampai akhirnya Sean berhasil membuat Will membuka hatinya. Sebuah film yang layak tonton dan sarat akan quotes bagus.

Seperti ini:

Sean: " Look at me. What do you want to do? You and your bullshit. You got a bullshit answer for everybody. But I ask you a very simple question and you can't give me a straight answer, because you don't know."

atau ini:

Will: "See the sad thing about a guy like you, is in about 50 years you’re gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you’re gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One, don't do that. And two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a fuckin’ education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the Public Library"

Sebuah film yang cantik, serta mengingatkan kita akan Robin Williams. Satu hal tentang film ini, yang saya temukan ketika membaca review-reviewnya:
Some people can never believe in themselves, until someone believes in them.

Indeed.
