GOOD WILL HUNTING: 1997 (Paramount+) Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is a mathematical genius with a photographic memory who prefers to work as a janitor and hang out with his rowdy blue-collar South Boston friends.  But Will does his janitor work at M.I.T., and secretly solves mathematical puzzles that confound the professors. Matt Damon (The Rainmaker and many others) and Ben Affleck (Chasing Amy, and many others), who have been life-long friends, wrote this film and the script is excellent.  They have good ear for dialogue and both acquit themselves admirably in this movie. They exploded on the movie scene and have gone on to star in many movies. But, the real standout is Robin Williams. I remember seeing a movie psychiatrist who was a nice human being was in, at that time, Ordinary People. Warm, human, and sort of noble, he plays a psychiatrist in Good Will Hunting, and he is wonderful.  I never care much for him when he is in a comedy role, but always like him in a serious one.  In this film he counsels Will Hunting, who through an altercation with a student at M.I.T, he is court-ordered to seek counseling. Minnie Driver plays Will’s love interest. The real love story in this movie, though, is the one we hear about from Williams.  The scene where he tells Will about his wife is one of the most moving in the film.  This is one very good movie!
