Genius In Good Will Hunting

Improved Essays
Many people believe that an intelligent person are more likely going to life a happy life, but this movies shows otherwise. It really shows how that even intelligent people don’t always have it easy in life. The main character, Will, is portrayed as a genius but lives in a poverish like life style. Rather than use his talents to the best of his ability he would often hang out with friends. They would typically would do delinquent (not juvenile delinquent) like activities and get themselves in trouble. The movie show his genius level intellect by shows a scene where the judge explains that Will managed to avoid jail time many times by expressing all of his rights in the courtroom. And show his delinquent lifestyle by showing Will and his friends attack another person. The movie would also portray other …show more content…
The couple would be sleeping on the bed calmly until Skylar suggests that Will should come with her to california with her. Will refuses to go and answers in a panicky state. When skylar begins to ask questions on why Will rejects the offer Will begins to give an excuse that she might regret choosing him. Will begins to overthink the situation causing Will to break down. The scene then shows Will’s traumatic experiences appearing when he starts to yell at Skylar about his past, revealing more information about his past. As Will does this he then continued to break down even further in front of the weeping Skylar and eventually told her that he didn’t love her and left. The reason I don’t like this scene is because of the many emotions put into this scene. While the movie did well in show Will’s rational disappearing and continued to break down, I really didn’t like it when they had Skylar crying in front of Will. In terms of a personal view i don’t like it, however, in terms of a meaningful view the movie does it

The Warden paid the price for his crimes when he knew he had an innocent man in jail just for him to use Andy for his accounting skills. The Warden ended up committing suicide and I feel that was the ultimate penitence that the Warden had to pay in order for his crimes to be forgiven.…
