      Yeah, "exec-produced" by Kevin Smith, though Smith has said his biggest role was reading the script and giving it to Miramax who bought it and got the ball rolling. Damon and Affleck even asked him to direct, to which he said, NO WAY; it has to be directed by a MASTER director.
      Robin easily should've won the Oscar for FISHER KING (his best lead performance in my opinion), but GOOD WILL HUNTING definitely gave him some great speeches (and him deciding to do the movie was what got it made in the first place)

    Most people don't realize this, but the reason why Matt Damon's character opened up to Robin Williams characters is because when Matt damn disrespected his wife, Robin Williams reacted in the same exact way that Matt Damon's character would have reacted. With full fledged anger and rage.
    Fun fact: the scene where Robin Williams explains that his wife use to fart in her sleep was completely ad libed. Matt Damon's laugh in that scene is his genuine laugh. You can even see the camera shake a bit because the camera man was also laughing very hard.

As you said, Robin Williams is brilliant at delivering those heart felt lines with deep meaning. Even though I’ve seen this film many times, it still makes me emotional, when he finally breaks down the wall. This film deserved ever Oscar that it won.

    This movie is great, and it deserves all the praise it gets. Btw, there was a limit of how many f-words they were allowed to have in the movie, and the script supervisor said they were off by over 200 times 😂 but the nasty language kinda adds a nice touch to it

    I went to see this movie when it came out as a date night while in college. I only chose it because Robin was in it. By the time he shows up in it, I had forgotten he was in because the story had sucked me in. Ben and Matt wrote this film to give them a chance to act. I always forget that younger generations don't know Robin's more adult work. The movie you must see to really experience the genius of Robin Williams is Good Morning Vietnam. The legendary DJ scenes are completely improv, which is why the actors reactions are so authentic. The script only said DJ talk. Watching that movie and any Robin Williams Stand Up specials will let you understand how talented Robin Williams really was.

That’s exactly why Affleck tells him “you’re sitting on a winning lottery ticket and you’re too much of a pussy to cash it in.” Damon merges that thought process with what he gained from Williams and takes the risk, not to go find a job, he knows he can get any job he wanted…but to find a true companion and true happiness.

    My first introduction to Robin as a child was Mork and Mindy. From his zany antics, he had me hooked on his energy and bizarre outlook his character portrayed. From the Na Nooo Na Nooo, I drove my mum nuts using it at the end of my sentences.
    People from my generation grew up with him, watching him evolve from funny to deeply and darkly serious roles.
    I miss him greatly. And if he was still around, I often wonder if he would have ever been in well known films like Harry Potter as a teacher. He was a total other element with a beautiful empathy built in. And full of almost innocent child like humour that current comedians cannot match.

    I think the problem Will had was that, deep down, he felt he did not deserve Skylar or the opportunities that the professor was dangling in front of him. He "knew" that sooner or later they would realize that he wasn't worth it and abandon him, so he pushed them away first. This is a very insidious thing to deal with as the more someone praises you and tells that you are good at something, the more you become convinced that they are wrong and sooner or later they will finally realize the "truth" and turn on you or abandon you. It will ruin the life of anyone who suffers from this condition as anything negative reinforces your belief while anything positive also gets turned around in your mind to be a negative.

    Ben and Matt are best friends in real life and no acting writing experience and no one take them seriously so they wrote their own parts in movie script. As very young and first timers and non pro they found Gus Vanzant to do their movie and they got Robin Williams who did part basically free as he was a well paid star. So Robin added or changed a couple lines and made the role his own. They all won
    Nominations at Oscar night including Robin best support actor award the script win the director and Matt and Ben big win for two young unknowns.. Btw The kid Ben was picking on played his brother in movie and in real life Casey Affleck is Ben's real brother and started all 3 careers. Was Great movie. I was always huge Robin Williams fan. RIP

    3:59 Ben Affleck was Matt Murdock in Daredevil. Today, Daredevil is a big part of the MCU- which you guys need to watch - all 40 movies and 20 tv shows. They get great views on CZcams for reactors. Ben Affleck is also the most recent DCEU Batman- most recently played him in The Flash-- which bombed as all DCEU movies do. 8:58 "This kid..." THAT kid is Casey Affleck, Ben's brother -who is ALSO an Academy Award winner for Best Actor in 'Manchester By the Sea.' He also won just about every Best Actor award that year. He also got nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

    The thing about this movie is that everyone has met a Good Will Hunting in their life.... Everyone has been on the either side of of the 35:09 conversation where you realize that this person can either sink or swim and it happens when you're very young and naive. It's heartbreaking most of the time but those times you see some realize their potential in the world is an eternal fire unto your own soul.

The same bar where shows off his intelligence to the smug jerk bothering Chucky and meeting his love interest Skylar.

If you want to see a fun heist movie with Casey and Matt Damon I suggest “Ocean’s Eleven”…or an action Damon film is “Bourne Identity”. For another serious Robin Williams you can try “Dead Poets Society”…otherwise some of his fun movies are “Mrs Doubtfire” or “Jumanji”
