I must admit, Afflecks character was one of the best I've ever seen. It's hard enough to come to terms with the fact that your life won't be anything special, it's quite another to convince your childhood best friend to leave and potentially never return, for his own good as an individual. It's a difficult choice to make. Had he said otherwise, Will would probably never have left
KMS.... very true but being best friends I'm sure they met up later on with their respective partners & kids etc... that's what lifelong friends do... xx
This scene is bittersweet. Chuckie is happy to know that his bestfriend is pursuing better dreams and yet he knows he'll probably won't see Will for a long while, maybe never. Thats selfless friendship
Oh, I doubt it. Will and Chuckie are close like brothers. Will would probably return in a few years, with Skylar and a kid in tow, and knock on Chuckie's door for a change.
The professor tried, the therapist had a go, and so did his girlfriend, but in the end it was the wise words of his best friend that brought him to realization. This scene is extremely powerful and indeed bittersweet
The thing that did it was that he pointed it out that Will owed it to him and the other guys. None of Seanâs feel good bullshit, or Lambeauâs empty talk of ambition. He owed it to the boys, simple as that. Itâs duty to his friends.
"Let me tell you what I do know. Everyday I come by your house and I pick you up. And we go out and we have a few drinks and a few laughs, and it's great. Know what the best part of my day is? For about 10 seconds, from when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door...cause I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. No goodbye, no see you later, no nothing. You just left. I don't know much, but I know that."
This came out in 1997, before the age of social media and instant communication. When a friend left town, you generally would not hear from them. Ever again. And that makes this all the more profound.
The part at 1:33 always gets me right in the heart, because Chuck realizes that his best friend is on his way to bigger and better things, but also that he may never see him again, most definitely won't share the same bond of nightly camaraderie they had. He loves Will and wants whats best for him, so he is glad to see Will taking his advice, but deep down it hurts, losing that constant companion. That battle of joy and pain is a bitterly beautiful thing to behold, and Ben Affleck portrays it spectacularly.
My coworker did this to us today. He said he was going to retire a few weeks from now and when I came in this morning, his desk was cleared. I smiled, laughed and said out loud, "you good will huntinged me!!"
I always found it to be awesome that through all of the outreach Will received it was his best friend that made him wake up and aspire to be better. When I first watched the movie I did not see that coming. Two other cool things that I thought were great, and truly make this an amazing film are that talking to Will was therapy for Sean. It seems like about midway through the film Sean starts to realize that he is preaching to Will about taking chances and moving on in life, but he was not practicing what he preached. And lastly the title of the film is genius. Good Will Hunting serves to remind us that Will Hunting is a good guy despite everything he portrays on the screen, but they are also Hunting for his Good Will. At least that was my take. Amazing film, and is easily in my top 5 of all time.
This scene is one of bens best performances ever! It's such a seamless transition from the heartbreak of "holy shit, my best friend is gone" to the realization of "he got out. He's going to do great things" it's so heartbreaking!
Everyone talking about how Chuckie reacts when Will isnât there to answer the door - which is great, fantastic acting from Ben Affleck. What touches me possibly more than that is Morganâs reaction to finally being allowed to sit in the front passenger side of Chuckieâs car, knowing that their best friend has gone on to fulfill his potential. One of the most powerful films ever. Brilliant.
1:34 - 1:50 holy shit Affleck shouldâve gotten the Oscar for those 15 seconds alone. Not even nominated though. Some of the best acting Iâve ever seen without Dialogue. I understood every emotion he was feeling from confusion of whereâs Will, to happiness that Will actually did it, to sadness when he realizes heâll never see his best friend again.... god damn. One of the best 15 seconds in film history.
1:49 I always get teary eyed. Chuckie turns around on the porch after seeing Willâs not there. He faces *His* neighborhood for the first time. A simple man that begins the rest of his beautiful, normal, average suburban life with a humble resilience.
R.I.P. Robin Williams. You will be missed, but you will live on through your films and comedy. I'm glad you got the Oscar for this, you truly deserved it. You will be missed, but will be loved for years to come as well.ï»ż
Part of me really wishes we got to see Will meet Skylar again and for her to take him back etc. but Robin's line was to perfect not to end on! And it ends the film on the impetus of optimism. It's just there's something inside me which feels this film isn't quite over!!!
+Jack Lynch I like it when films leave it up to your imagination, at least to an extent. That way, it never truly ends in your mind. It's always ongoing.
I have always thought that the note to Sean was essentially telling the audience what is going to happen with Skylar and Will. I love it when films end it in this way because like Seamus said it feels like the movie is always going. For me the biggest thing for the "Sorry, I have to see about a girl" line is the fact that Sean said it in therapy in reference to his wife who we all know was his soul mate. So in a way it's Will saying that Skylar is his soul mate. I've always looked at it from a positive angle. He's gonna go to California and they are going to be happy for the rest of their lives.
Nah, he gets pissed, can't handle the embarrassment, and changes his name to Jason Bourne. I DID hope to see Skylar smiling out of her window watching him approach.
love that part at 01:20 where the only high note just sits there quietly alone just like Ben's character. The lonely oboe comes in, sad, before the rest of the orchestra joins in together. It's amazing how the music adds to the story of what the character is feeling at the same time.
Im convinced that Chuckie is not only the best friend you can have but also smarter than most people think. His self reflection about his life is something only few people are capable of
Shelbee Pollino Will started a Tech company in Silicon Valley, asked Chuckie to come out and be in charge of maintenance and Chuckie said ânah, bro, Iâm goodâ
The âSon of a bitch. He stole my lineâ was improvised on the spot by Robin Williams. Matt Damon said Williams did about 15 takes of this scene. He only said this line once, in the middle of all the takes he would do for this scene, and never said it again afterwards. It was decided to use this take because it was the best one from all the takes.
The moment in the music at 01:20 when the strings hit that high note solo moment ... the same moment he realizes that he is gone, reveals the power of music that speaks louder than any dialogue could ever achieve. Those lonely strings break my heart that a friend is gone ... but also the beginning for both of them with the challenge to push forward on their own using the inspiration of the other as their guide.
Love the fact that Sean essentially helped send him on the journey of personal life and the discoveries within , something discarded throughout his childhood / adolescence due to his upbringing and extraordinary gift. An incredible film with so many hidden . positive messages.
The realisation that his friend is gone- sadness at knowing he might not see him in a long time. Changing to happiness that hos friend was going for his happiness⊠My favourite moment in a movie.
Priceless scene and priceless acting by afleck. At first he is in a bit of a shock, state of ambivalence, partially sad then he rejoices in selfless happiness for his friend who went on to do what was best for him.
Chuckie's moment of 'goodwill' comes during the discussion that leads to this moment. Makes me smile every time. True friendship is about what is truly BEST for your friends.
It's Great to see the Boston Irish depicted in a more positive and commendable light, against a backdrop of higher learning and MIT classrooms, this movie filled with deep intellectual discourse and brilliant revelations, AS OPPOSED to all the other made in Boston movies. For in most of those locally filmed movies the Irish are depicted in this less than flattering and savory light, and the criminal and scumbag elements drive much of the narrative. Not something for the Boston Irish to be proud of. Though this gem of a movie, magical as it is, keeps the more vile, violent and vulgar elements at bay, and reveals the better, more humane and intelligent side to the Boston Irish. I love that!
So many emotions were hit upon in this scene. For a couple of seconds, Chuckie looked confused, then he came to the realization that he just lost his best friend, to happiness for his friend, to just a hint of sadness. This was such a beautiful scene and it was so cool that Will remembered the "best part of Chuckie's day" was right here. This was the best gift Will could've given his friend. Brilliant.
Now I understand the value of leaving some people. It's a part of evolution towards the greater you. In respect to achieving the greatness, your dreams, we must move on.
Old times when leaving the town was pretty much goodbye forever and both understand they won't be seeing or talking to each other again. it actually meant something. Now we have social media and you can always reach out to your old friends with your fingertip but you don't and have to feel guilty about it.
This movie resonates because there is so many of us with low education struggling everyday to make someone else rich. Life is tough and life is a struggle if I could do it all over again I would definitely get a better education. 52 years old cooking for 20 bucks an hour is the hell im in for now.
Imagine if Ben Affleck thought Matt left for good, so he's happy, but never realizes that Matt was taking a nice long shit and didn't hear the knocking on the door. Lmao
+Snot Nose The Goblin what if they are miserable? do you stick by them or no? it's all in taking responsability and avoiding pain, its hard to ignore their pain when they are miserable.. life can be a good adventure, can't be painful all the time. (you prolly knew that already though)
Snot Nose The Goblin maybe they just want attention (not worth my time i think...) maybe it's fake.. I don't have a specific example in mind, I know that some poeple just want attention and they fake being miserable.. i've seen it many times
Snot Nose The Goblin There's a happy medium. If you're in a situation which is dragging someone down then the best thing to do is to be selfless and let them go.
JessikahAznBabyy That's a pretty harsh thing to say...Robin Williams is an amazing actor and hilarious comedian, renowned for his originality and uniqueness. We must be referring to different people...
It took me 10-15 years till just now to grasp this for the truth it is, he finally did it made something of himself his friend knew he should be something have something more than himself hell, he admitted it to him.
When you greatest hope is to have hope in your friends great gifts and they hope the get from them. Yeah there is a sweet sorrow but down the line you all meet.. And you sigh and cry and crack a good drink and tell stories of how it all came to be.
Just watch more indie films... Loads of great indies get released every year, but they get overlooked or never seen by many just because box office hits overshadow them.
Whenever I watch rewatch this I always like to imagine a scene, years in the future, when Will comes back to visit Chuck. Like imagine Chuck walks out of the construction site one day and Will is there in a suit or some other expensive set of clothes, and they just hug each other and go for a beer to discuss how theyâve been doing
back when this came out in 97 when everyone went to see titanic nobody had any idea that Good will hunting would be better. I was born in 2001 and I was born late but when I saw both I was so confused at why Titanic was the biggest movie ever at the time and this was not even close because this movie made grown men cry where titanic made Girls cry
All-Time Classic scene where Ben's half grin tells all. Also looking at it again, when the other friend ran to the front and took Will's spot, I felt like all the friends were hoping he was going to leave for better things at some point and they were all happy he was gone. Sigh. I'm sure we all have had friends like these some point or the other. But like Will, we never know how our friends/loved ones react to our absence. This must be how it is.
One of the best endings to a movie ever. Chuckie just took a minute to let reality set in. Then just a big smile. He's happy to know that his friend is out there, living his life. He was the most selfless person in this whole movie, pushing Will away, knowing he might never see him again. A true friend.
You know, i was watching this the other day on an old dvd, and goddamnit the film glitched up right on the part that this video covers. Seeing it here, I'm wishing I saw it in the context of the film 'cause this looks like the best scene of the movie. What strikes me is Ben Affleck's acting. That look as he realizes that his best friend is gone on to better things is really touching. You can really see that he's genuinely happy for Will, but there's also a hint of sadness 'cause he knows Will ain't coming back, not for a few years at least, and he emotes all of this in a 30 second shot with zero dialogue. I'm totally seeing why Ben Affleck is as big a deal as he is based on this movie.
Inspite of everything, Will taking his advice to heart and his realization of that is amazing. The ending felt like sliding in the final piece of a puzzle. Good ass movie this one is.
"SOB... Stole my line" was actually improvised by Robin Williams in the moment and made the final cut. RIP Robin Williams. A true talent that brought joy to so many. A tragedy he was unable to find it in his own life.
This is one of my favorite movies. I like to think he put that amazing intellect of his to work, made hundreds of millions in the stock market, and got his boys out of the hood.
Friendship level be happy for your best friend making his own future and squeezing all the potential that he have even if that means you probably won't see him anymore
One of my favorite movies of all time. Plus love the whole cast especially my favorite actor/comedian of time with a heart & soul of gold. Robin Williams đ€
I'm astounded by how strong Chuck's character was. It takes a lot of strength to admit the limit of your capabilities but it takes greater strength to send off your greatest friend to gain ambition and have a better life after realizing his potential.
The final scene of Good Will Hunting, the definition of the Greek comedy. It's heart breaking to see Chuckie realize that his friend is gone, but he's gone off for better things. Sean realizes Will gave up the job to pursue the woman who makes him truly happy. You just have to sit back and really take it all in. Our protagonist has turned the coin and went off after what he really wants.
i remember watching this movie with my dad for the first time maybe a decade ago? i was enjoying it, of course, but by this point we were talking about the themes and ruminating on Robin Williams as an actor rather than fully paying attention. we get to this scene and he shushes me. Chuckie looks through the window, and the second he pulls back and realizes that Will's not there, my dad points at the tv screen and just goes "Watch Ben Affleck _act"._ its stuck with me all these years. because yeah. watch that man _act_
I must admit, Afflecks character was one of the best I've ever seen. It's hard enough to come to terms with the fact that your life won't be anything special, it's quite another to convince your childhood best friend to leave and potentially never return, for his own good as an individual.

Well said..his happiness...true altruism...for his friend...

***** On the bright side, Casey Affleck finally gets to ride shotgun!
+NJDJ30 He got promoted. ahahaha. I noticed that right away.

Oh, I doubt it. Will and Chuckie are close like brothers. Will would probably return in a few years, with Skylar and a kid in tow, and knock on Chuckie's door for a change.
I cried so much at that scene
this is one of my favorite movies, a friend that supports his friend no matter what.. even if he is no longer a part of his life anymore..
The professor tried, the therapist had a go, and so did his girlfriend, but in the end it was the wise words of his best friend that brought him to realization. This scene is extremely powerful and indeed bittersweet
I love That movie scene along with Robin Williams explaining how much he loved his wife
đąđ
The wise words of one of the least sophisticated, yet 100% loyal and true, characters in the film.
The thing that did it was that he pointed it out that Will owed it to him and the other guys. None of Seanâs feel good bullshit, or Lambeauâs empty talk of ambition. He owed it to the boys, simple as that. Itâs duty to his friends.
The therapist had a HUGE impact when he repeated "It's not your fault." Some demons died that day.
Ben Affleck's acting is superb, you can see how his character is trying to mask his absolute joy in knowing that his friend is pursuing happiness.
Both happy that his friend is moving forward and sad that he may never see the guy again. Great acting for sure.
later Chuckie becomes Batman
+CarbaXGamer and does a fine job in spite of a shit movie
Its a shame that Ben Affleck didn't have any scenes with Robin Williams !!!
Oh, I'm sure Chuckie and Will would cross paths again. They're too close of friends not to.

Mike F., you are a poet. Even if you are just quoting Chuck, it is so poetic of you to write that here!
Every dude needs a friend who can say that kind of stuff. Best friend in the world indeed.
Hardly a friend if what he's really saying is "I don't want to see or hear from you ever again"
best part of the movie too
seriously? That's what you got out of that line?
I love that moment when chuckie realizes that will took his advice to heart. :
he did not take his advice about the job though he did what he wanted not what anyone wanted him to do.
he still went and applied for the job idiot.
@@Theateam911 This is literally what Chuckie wanted him to do

I have always thought that the note to Sean was essentially telling the audience what is going to happen with Skylar and Will.

For me the biggest thing for the "Sorry, I have to see about a girl" line is the fact that Sean said it in therapy in reference to his wife who we all know was his soul mate. So in a way it's Will saying that Skylar is his soul mate. I've always looked at it from a positive angle. He's gonna go to California and they are going to be happy for the rest of their lives.
I always looked at it as she may or may not take him back. What's important is that he took the emotional risk and tried anyways.
Nah, he gets pissed, can't handle the embarrassment, and changes his name to Jason Bourne. I DID hope to see Skylar smiling out of her window watching him approach.

This movie resonates because there is so many of us with low education struggling everyday to make someone else rich. Life is tough and life is a struggle if I could do it all over again I would definitely get a better education. 52 years old cooking for 20 bucks an hour is the hell im in for now.
Imagine if Ben Affleck thought Matt left for good, so he's happy, but never realizes that Matt was taking a nice long shit and didn't hear the knocking on the door. Lmao
That's why he looked inside the house to make sure Will's things are not there
If you love something, let it go
+Snot Nose The Goblin what if they are miserable? do you stick by them or no? it's all in taking responsability and avoiding pain, its hard to ignore their pain when they are miserable.. life can be a good adventure, can't be painful all the time. (you prolly knew that already though)
Snot Nose The Goblin
maybe they just want attention (not worth my time i think...) maybe it's fake.. I don't have a specific example in mind, I know that some poeple just want attention and they fake being miserable.. i've seen it many times
Snot Nose The Goblin
There's a happy medium. If you're in a situation which is dragging someone down then the best thing to do is to be selfless and let them go.
Snot Nose The Goblin
there is a way out of anything; just keep your powder dry and your pecker hard and the worm will turn. : )

who hurt you :(
One becomes Bourne, the other Batman. I'm working construction right now, hopefully my time will come too.

@@RyanSmith-wo2pi problem?
A scene that makes me very grateful for mobile phones. Friends will always be a part of the road to happiness.
the powerful scene which shows not only happiness for the friend but also sadness that he may won't meet his best friend ever.
So sad but so beautiful at the same time. Amazing
SUPERB.
OUTSTANDING.
Thank you, Robin. We will miss you.
Any good person out there deserves to have a friend like Chuckie.
so many chills at this end scene
"son of a bitch, stole my line" :)
ironic cause robin williams made a career out of stealing other comedians lines

That's a pretty harsh thing to say...Robin Williams is an amazing actor and hilarious comedian, renowned for his originality and uniqueness. We must be referring to different people...
This film is an absolute master piece.
This scene makes me cry like a baby oml
It took me 10-15 years till just now to grasp this for the truth it is, he finally did it made something of himself his friend knew he should be something have something more than himself hell, he admitted it to him.
When you greatest hope is to have hope in your friends great gifts and they hope the get from them. Yeah there is a sweet sorrow but down the line you all meet.. And you sigh and cry and crack a good drink and tell stories of how it all came to be.
Miss Hollywood with legendary scene like this... we watch movie for acting of people not just 3D effects.
Just watch more indie films... Loads of great indies get released every year, but they get overlooked or never seen by many just because box office hits overshadow them.
Whenever I watch rewatch this I always like to imagine a scene, years in the future, when Will comes back to visit Chuck. Like imagine Chuck walks out of the construction site one day and Will is there in a suit or some other expensive set of clothes, and they just hug each other and go for a beer to discuss how theyâve been doing
Haha Casey wagging his tongue out when he gets the front seat
"i got bumped up! woo-hoo!"
1:30, great acting! Just the looks in his face. Body language. They eyes. The smile. No word.
This scene is so powerful, i cried when I watched it
back when this came out in 97 when everyone went to see titanic nobody had any idea that Good will hunting would be better.
I was born in 2001 and I was born late but when I saw both I was so confused at why Titanic was the biggest movie ever at the time and this was not even close because this movie made grown men cry where titanic made Girls cry
All-Time Classic scene where Ben's half grin tells all. Also looking at it again, when the other friend ran to the front and took Will's spot, I felt like all the friends were hoping he was going to leave for better things at some point and they were all happy he was gone. Sigh. I'm sure we all have had friends like these some point or the other. But like Will, we never know how our friends/loved ones react to our absence. This must be how it is.
Emotionally perfect movie.
One of the best endings to a movie ever. Chuckie just took a minute to let reality set in. Then just a big smile. He's happy to know that his friend is out there, living his life. He was the most selfless person in this whole movie, pushing Will away, knowing he might never see him again. A true friend.

That's no friend, that's a brother. Chuckie and sean were one of the best supporting characters I have ever seen on screen.
Best movie ever made.
You know, i was watching this the other day on an old dvd, and goddamnit the film glitched up right on the part that this video covers. Seeing it here, I'm wishing I saw it in the context of the film 'cause this looks like the best scene of the movie. What strikes me is Ben Affleck's acting. That look as he realizes that his best friend is gone on to better things is really touching. You can really see that he's genuinely happy for Will, but there's also a hint of sadness 'cause he knows Will ain't coming back, not for a few years at least, and he emotes all of this in a 30 second shot with zero dialogue. I'm totally seeing why Ben Affleck is as big a deal as he is based on this movie.
Inspite of everything, Will taking his advice to heart and his realization of that is amazing. The ending felt like sliding in the final piece of a puzzle. Good ass movie this one is.
Not much talking, but you can see real emotions here, Chuckie is really happy for his friend
"SOB... Stole my line" was actually improvised by Robin Williams in the moment and made the final cut. RIP Robin Williams. A true talent that brought joy to so many. A tragedy he was unable to find it in his own life.
Legend says Will became Jason Bourne and Chuckie became Batman after this.
This is one of my favorite movies. I like to think he put that amazing intellect of his to work, made hundreds of millions in the stock market, and got his boys out of the hood.
All their smile is very nice !
I cried a good bit during this movie, but this is the scene that made me bawl, like that little smirk from Chuckie says it all
I wish everyone could just follow their own way in life like Will did.
Amazing cinematography. So much is conveyed in so few words. Will gave both Chuckie and Sean the best gift he possibly could.
The music fills my soul
As a hood guy, you can't understand how deeply this movie affected me; I felt every second of it, with different history but the same way of feeling
Friendship level be happy for your best friend making his own future and squeezing all the potential that he have even if that means you probably won't see him anymore
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Plus love the whole cast especially my favorite actor/comedian of time with a heart & soul of gold. Robin Williams đ€
I'm astounded by how strong Chuck's character was. It takes a lot of strength to admit the limit of your capabilities but it takes greater strength to send off your greatest friend to gain ambition and have a better life after realizing his potential.
Mannnn I love this scene!
i've cried such an amount of tears each f**** time i saw this scene...
man this is what a true friendship is â€â€
Great ending very touching. RIP Robin Williams
The final scene of Good Will Hunting, the definition of the Greek comedy. It's heart breaking to see Chuckie realize that his friend is gone, but he's gone off for better things. Sean realizes Will gave up the job to pursue the woman who makes him truly happy. You just have to sit back and really take it all in. Our protagonist has turned the coin and went off after what he really wants.
i remember watching this movie with my dad for the first time maybe a decade ago? i was enjoying it, of course, but by this point we were talking about the themes and ruminating on Robin Williams as an actor rather than fully paying attention. we get to this scene and he shushes me. Chuckie looks through the window, and the second he pulls back and realizes that Will's not there, my dad points at the tv screen and just goes "Watch Ben Affleck _act"._
its stuck with me all these years. because yeah. watch that man _act_
one of the very best films ever
