Awesome 😊
woops, thought i was on your Shift review for a sec there lol.
I honestly do not distinctly remember seeing this in the theater nor shedding any tears, but I know I was really pulling for Damon and Driver to get back together and make it work 😊
Of the era..... Mid late 90s what a time but I glad it's over. School ties with Brandon Fraser an matt Damon. Y'all may like
Most beautiful reactions yet ❤❤💯💯🙂🙂✅️✅️
Williams' monologue at the lake is simply perfection. It's stern, vulnerable, forgiving, and beautiful.
Man, I miss Williams. RIP.
💯🔥🔥
It’s more like a large pond; it’s in the Boston Public Garden 😉
"Men, be honest: did you shed a tear" - yes ma'am, I have no shame in admitting that I cried quite profusely when I first watched it, and even after all these years, it still brings a tear to my eye.
Great reaction to a great movie, ladies!
Aww love that!! ❤
Thank you! It will get you for sure!
Me too man. This movie hits hard.
I didn't but the Damon/Affleck combo have never interested me, they're just not believable as human beings
@@jonathandevereaux298 agreed, Damon and Affleck might be good writers and directors, but they aren’t good actors
The "It's not your fault" scene breaks me down every single time. This movie is a true inspiration. Your reaction was raw and awesome.
The scene where Affleck's character tells Will that the best day for him, would be one where he would wake up to the reality of hos friend having left...
Gets me every single time. The slight bitterness about not having such a gift, but the immense brotherly love for Will. That is acceptance. Peace of mind, in a nuttshell.
16:37 I remember hearing that "wife fart story" wasn't in the scripted and improvised by Robin Williams, that's why Matt Damon was laughing so hard and if you listen closely the sound picks up the camera man laughing too 😄
Robin Williams God rest his soul was a genius and an amazing actor. He did A LOT of improvising in order to get REAL reaction from his fellow cast. All of the DJ speeches in Good Morning Vietnam was improv. The scene in Mrs. Doubtfire when his teeth fall into the glass was improv. The reactions were all real and unscripted but kept in the movie.
Long, long story, but Good Will Hunting changed my life, and not just in a "I saw it and was inspired" kind of way. And Robin Williams was why I became an actor. I met him in 2011. He was adorable. When he passed, I spent 3 days in bed crying.
Yes, I was completely devastated when he ended his life too 😭
I suggested that they both watch Finding Forrester with Sean Connery. It’s the same director as Good Will Hunting… it wasn’t a big movie like Good Will Hunting, but it was just as good as it. Sean Connery was another celebrity death that devastated me 😭😢
Do you ever see Finding Forrester?
@@nsasupporter7557 Weird! I replied to this message, but I can't see it now! I'm actually Scottish too, so you can imagine how it affected us. I actually worked in a cinema as the inhouse film critic when it was released. I wasn't a fan personally, but I know a lot of people like it.
I'm 56 and have watched this film start to finish at least five times and have watched reactors respond to it at least a half-dozen times. Never fails to make me tear up at several points. It's just so good. RIP Robin Williams you rocked this.
For Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg had purposely cast Matt Damon as Ryan because he was virtually unknown and had All-American handsomeness. However, this movie came out a couple of months before and made Damon a star.
Also shaving Ryans private... a movie.. ina diffrente genre ...but with a simular name.
A beautiful movie with so many life lessons
As a strong man I of course blubbed when I saw this in 1997. The biggest reaction I've ever seen by men in the cinema was to The Green Mile. Nearly every man in the theatre was seriously crying during this film.
I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for the Green Mile!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Do something light first - Green Mile will break your heart.
Fun Fact: The farting wife story was completely improvised. Matt Damon laughed his ass off.
Also, Ben Affleck's speech at the end is such a great scene. So different from the usual speeches. A real friend would rather see his friend succeed if it means never seeing them again.
Wow 😂
That speech was so good!
Also, in the fart scene, you can see the camera shaking, because the cameraman was cracking up.
That Ben Affleck scene was the first take. Ben made them do a few more, but he nailed it the first time.
That line “Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50” really hit me hard. I turned 50 this year and I feel like Chucky. I’ll be working forever doing the same shit. I’ll be watching all my friends retiring and traveling and golfing everyday. I’ll be breaking my back working until the day I drop dead. And I know there’s nothing I can do to change that.
Probably one of the best screenplays ever written.
Kudos to you ladies for this watch reaction 👍🏻
Good Will Hunting is a timeless masterpiece that strikes a chord with its powerful storytelling and brilliant performances from Matt Damon and Robin Williams. It’s a real tear 😢 jerker of a movie 🎥
Yes he is!
Finding Forrester is another beautiful movie by the same director. It wasn’t as big of a movie as Good Will Hunting but still just as good
One of the best films ever made.
If you watch when Will is hugging Sean and crying, you'll see that Sean's eyes are smiling and joyful. He knows what a breakthrough that was. Notice throughout their last
couple of encounters that he calls him, "Son". He doesn't mind being a surrogate and a mentor, and he'll be happy to stay in contact with Will. It was a breakthrough and Will
is a genius but he certainly doesn't have all the answers. It will be invaluable to have someone he knows he can trust to help guide him. 'We all could use someone like that.
I'm a 56 year old man who has seen more than any ones fair share of shit, I cry every time I see this movie or just a reaction to it. If you are not moved by this movie you have to be dead inside. Robin Williams is and will always be missed by we who were fortunate enough to see him perform. His all improve stand up was as amazing as his acting. You should watch some of his stand up if you have not already.
I highly recommend his episode of Inside The Actor's Studio.
It is a very touching movie! Therapeutic really!
One of the best movies ever.
That was great, can we have more tears?😁 Dead poet Society, Hachi, The Lovely Bones, Stand By Me, Sophie's Choice and, of course, Evil Dead😊
Name 3 things you've seen
Saw it in a theater back in 97 as I was just getting into film. As a teenager, I wasn't mature enough to fully appreciate the movie (and its themes) but I thought it was great. It wasn't till I watched it later in life that it hit different. Great Video, as always!
Aww thanks John!!
This was your best reaction. Being vulnerable is being real, and being real is what people are attracted to.
This movie makes me cry every time, and I've probably seen it a dozen times. It's really inspiring to me.
They don't make enough movies like this in Hollywood. I think I felt every emotion there is in this one. ❤
Good job ladies
Thank you!!
With the greatest of respect; it was good to see you both cry. Beautiful reaction ladies.
Thank you!
Red is absolutely gorgeous, and intriguing 😮
RIP, Robin Williams, we love you, we miss you.
You two are sweet, everyone cries at this movie.
This movie still messes me up. As I mentioned during Monday’s livestream, this movie inspired me to become a therapist. I loved both your honest reactions. I was right there with u both!!! Love and hugs to u both! 😊🤗
Aww thank you! That’s awesome!!
You need to watch Finding Forrester, if you haven’t yet. it’s the same director as Good Will Hunting. Though it wasn’t as big as Good Will Hunting, it was just as good as it. It stars Sean Connery, he plays a reclusive writer who teaches an athlete how to write
Absolutely, without a doubt, the best editing of this movie ever!
Cool how in the beginning Robin Williams's character calls Will "Chief" or "sport" but at the end it's "son"
Michelle and Natalie I loved your reactions to such a good, thoughtful movie. Major props to your honest and sincere reaction to a story of a person struggling to find himself and the friends, mentors that help him along the way plus the love and caring of a good woman. Vincit qui se vincit. He conquers who conquers himself! A lot of moments that mattered.
Thanks KB!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment You are welcome!😄🌷
For this film both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won an Oscar for best original screenplay and Robin Williams won for best supporting actor. Thank you ladies great reaction.
Thanks for watching!!
Yes, Robin Williams beat out Greg Kinnear in As Good as it Gets for best supporting actor
@@nsasupporter7557That's right
@@nsasupporter7557burt reynolds and Robert forrester
Robin Williams improvise all the faro scene, but recently I knew that Robin Williams improvise all the last line like doing like a 100 hundreds tienes, and the last line remains.
Ladies, I cry every time I watch this... even with you in the abbreviated version. It's with Shawshank Redemption for feel-good buddy movies where characters experience tremendous growth throughout the film. Thank you for reacting to this one. It is a special piece of art when one watch just isn't sufficient. 📽🎞💚
There's so many iconic lines from this film. It's one of the few "perfect' films.
Warrior with Tom Hardy is another tear jerker well worth a watch. Gets most men I’ve known teary and my wife, who is training to be a counsellor, “ugly cried” for fifteen minutes after.
No one reacts to that movie and I been waiting years for the reactors to start doing it lol
Off the top of my head, I'd say The Green Mile is the biggest tear jerker movie for me. I saw it in the theaters and remember thinking this movie is almost over, I better pull myself together, but then I could hear others in the audience just balling uncontrollably and I felt relieved that I wouldn't be the only one walking out of the theater looking like I was having an allergic reaction to clams.
One of my faves. First saw it in the theater, but have watched it so many times and shed tears every time. I’m a softy, what can I say.
I love seeing peoples first reaction to Good Will Hunting because this movie really hit me the first time I saw it, yes its impossible to sit through some of those scenes and not cry like a baby.
he redeems himself as an exceptional counselor as much as his friend is a great mathematician
During Sean's speech on couple intimacy, it's amazing to feel how he takes us from laughter to deep emotion. I love this film and I've seen a lot of reactions about it.
This is the film with the most authentic emotions I've ever seen, without using children, etc., how easy they are to bring us to tears.
oh yeah, this movie makes me cry every time i've seen it. it's one of my favorite movies.
Great reaction girls ❤ - thank you both!
Thank you!!
Robin Williams acting range was amazing. A great example of his chops is his performance in the 1998 film What Dreams May Come. It will definitely make you feel strong emotions throughout and evoke a strong reaction so I hope yall add it to your must see list as a Robin film follow-up.
I said before and I’ll say it again, it behooves one to watch this movie every year to remind us of life’s important lessons. Yes, I cry as a 69 yr. old man but I’ve always been emotional due to Cerebral Palsy. Although my disability is ever so slight, it’s enough to notice a difference in my motor skills.
Never watched a first time reaction where they didn't cry, just like you two ladies did and it binds us all together with our shared humanity...Williams and Damons characters needed each other and drew each other out from their past into a new life....and Williams 'Park' monolgue is one of the greatest, to think Damon and Affleck wrote this in their early 20's.....astounding...(I think the bench where Williams said those words is a shrine often visited)
"Do you like Apples? Michelle and Natalie loved this movie. How about them Apples!" Y'all about got my with the tears 🥲. It's a great movie and I remember feeling the emotional moments the first time I watched this movie. 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉 Take care ladies.
Thanks Stephen!
This is one of those rare movies...
I cry every time.
I cry when I think about some of the scenes.
Your gonna get charged is one of my favorite lines. Glad you enjoyed it.
It's one of my favourite movies, if not my favourite. I cry every time without fail.
I don’t know how anyone could get through this without crying.
I too never saw this movie when it came out despite everyone I knew raving about it. I think my favorite scene is the park bench scene. Robin Williams owns every scene he is in. He truly was a great, versatile actor. If you want to see him like you have never seen him before, I recommend the movies "Insomnia" and "One Hour Photo". If you want to see an great underrated dark comedy with him and Edward Norton, watch "Death to Smoochy". Great video as always ladies.
Thank you! RW was a special talent!
I just love this movie. Made me tear up again watching you lovely ladies. I love watching both your reactions
Thank you! It’s a tear jerker for sure!
I have watched this film so many times. It is just so good. Robiln Williams was a truly extraordinary actor.
I don’t even think I fully understand his talent level until this!
It’s one of my favorites. I get teary eyed sometimes. Love it. Love the set it’s set up in, Boston.
😭😭😭 Thank you for this reaction, ladies.
Thanks for watching!
This movie is one of Robin Williams best performances I have ever seen next to One Hour Photo. It’s really my favorite movie of all time. He definitely proved that he can be both a serious actor and a comedic actor at the same time.
Agreed!
1 Hour Photo was a very sad movie. It was supposed to be “scary and suspenseful” but it was just depressing more than anything. Another great “villainous” role by Robin Williams is Insomnia which came out the same year
It may seem sacrilegious but I always enjoyed Robin Williams in dramatic roles over his comedic ones.
One thing that does seem to hold is that traditionally funny actors can play serious roles more easily than traditionally serious actors being able to play comedic roles.
@@jmiyagi12345 sorry, but I strongly disagree with that for the most part.
From what I understand, it’s the other way around… dramatic actors can do comedy even better than alot of comedians and comedians can rarely ever be good dramatic actors. The only 2 comedians that can pull off dramatic acting is Robin Williams and Jim Carrey… Jeff Daniels is mostly known for drama, but he blew everybody away in Dumb and Dumber with Jim. He was funnier than most comedians in that movie
@@nsasupporter7557 Will Ferrell, not to be confused with a good actor, does very solid work in his dramatic roles. Probably his better work. Carrey, as you mentioned, was much better than he was given credit for. I am honestly struggling with coming up with dramatic actors who can do straight comedy. Maybe Jack Nicholson, but it’s usually just him being crazy, which might just be his default setting.
"You disrespect my Wife again i will END You... you got that Chief?" I frickin love this film, one of Robin Williams best performances for sure, Ben Affleck is that rare Best friend we all need more in our lives, true Best Friends always want the best for you even if it means you moving on from them in some way. I love that you Ladys have discovered this gem. Hey Nat! 😉
It is an excellent movie!
As an action science fiction horror fan, I don't often cry ^^
But there are exactly two films where even I have to get out my handkerchief.
Good will Hunting and Meet Joe Black
This is just...a beautiful film. One of those that everyone with a heartbeat needs to see at least once.
Also yes...I teared up. Several times.
If y'all want another amazing Robin Williams performance, check out "Dead Poets Society"
"Do you like apples?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?"
Fun Fact: Gus Van Sant painted the picture that hangs in Sean Maguire's (Robin Williams') office.
Five Year Dream Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen.
What Script Fact: The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. Robin Williams' last line in the film "Son of a bitch. He stole my line" was also ad-libbed.
MIT Connection Fact: Matt Damon, a former Harvard student, originally intended to make the title character a physics prodigy. He discussed his idea with Sheldon L. Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics and, at the time, a Harvard professor. Glashow told him that the premise did not ring true to him: he suggested that the main character be a math prodigy instead. He referred Damon to his brother-in-law, Daniel Kleitman, a professor of mathematics at MIT, who provided advice on the story. Both Glashow and Kleitman are thanked in the credits.
😢😂😂😂
We all love ❤️ & miss you 😔 Robin Williams.
Fantastic film. Truly.
Yep, teary eyes every time I see this one.
Robin Williams improvised his last line.
Ben Affleck's character in this movie is the best friend you could EVER HAVE!
I cry every time i watch it. Or any reaction I see. 100’s of times. Sean’s speeches on the park bench and at the end along with chuckie’s speech at the end are some of the best monologues in history
You've both narrowed down what makes this movie so special. You're both so awesome!
Aww thank you Charles!! You are too!
Following because I randomly caught this reaction.
Y' all are both beautiful. This was an excellent, authentic reaction. Thank you.
Aww! Thanks for watching!!
We miss you Robin
I didn't cry, you did.
We definitely did 😂
You're correct, great insight. Beauty and pain do go together. Everyone on this Earth goes through pain and suffering but the real beauty of people and life is how we come together and hold each other up, and deal with pain and suffering. I've seen this movie many times, and I still cry.
Seeing Ben Affleck feel some happiness for his friend when he realizes he isn't there, even though he lost his friend and his heart is also probably dropping, is so beautiful. That was a great piece of acting, first he realizes it and it takes a few seconds to process it and you can see that little grin. I cried on that scene too just like you lol.
Masterpiece!
16:39 - That was an improv by Williams, which explains Matt's laughter
Thank you ladies for a genuine and heartfelt review.
Thanks for watching!
More than one, ladies.
Fun fact: Both your souls are beautiful.
☺️☺️
This is a personal all-time favorite of mine. Excellent the whole way. I still get emotional, I still connect with it. Great movie
One of the best movies!!!
"I've heard reading makes you smarter. We should all try it."
I have a feeling that there are a lot who would fail in that attempt...
The Fisher King, Dead Poet's Society, Awakenings, and Good Will Hunting... all must-see Robin Williams films (IMHO). Good reaction, ladies :)
Thank you!!
I was thinking bout this movie and I just realized that last scene with Robin Williams and Will was a metaphor for how Will was pushing those he loved away so he wouldn't get hurt. Will physically pushes Williams character away but he stands firm. He shows he won't abandon him even after he has built trust with Will. Then the breakthrough.
I think masculine energy is more prone to be adept at showing the firm and strong, supportive but not smothering love. That brotherly/father type of thing.
I guess Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are smarter than I thought as screenwriters. LOL
I cried at the movie but I have overactive tear ducts and will cry at a Folger's commercial or yawning. It's so attractive to the ladies....😅
🙏❤🌹 Robin 🌹❤🙏
😢
One of my all-time favorite reactions to this movie. Beautiful.
Great movie. Glad you liked it. Robin Williams did a great job. I'm not a big _love story_ fan, but this one felt real and honest, not cheesy or unrealistic like most of the others do.
You two are the neighbors I wish I had.
☺️☺️
The film “As Good as it Gets” won best actor and actress. But this movie beat it out for best supporting actor… Robin Williams! 😊
Awww crying again watching this with u two😢
Great reaction! You two are the cutest
Thank you!!
Ladies, I've seen this movie about 50 times and each time I cry like a baby. So yes, grown men do cry. ------- In fact i started crying from the monologue scene at the lake. ------ You ladies he'd up way longer than I did.
Love this movie: looking forward to this reaction 🍿
A really good Robin Williams film that you will love is Bicentennial man..great film..
Amazing to think this was written by Matt Damon in college,then turned in to a film that gave Robin Williams his only Oscar.
And yeah,I teared up..A 56 year old man can still get emotional.Especial THAT scene.
Omg i think i just fell in love with you two watching your reactions to the "its not your fault" scene. Precious. THATS what cinema should do.
😢❤❤❤
Thank you so much, #ForceOfLightEntertainment, for the awesome movie reaction. I'm still supporting you because your content is so amazing, and also because I enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.
We appreciate that!! Thanks!! 💚
We all cry at the one scene 😢
Hard to see Matt Damon without hearing the Team America voice "Matt Damon"
Exceptional movie and a Robin Williams gem!! Thank you for the reaction
It is 30 years ago but I think it took only 10 years after this movie before a lot of the places they filmed in no longer exist, except M.I.T. When I watch this film it is a nice walk down memory lane.
Are you from Boston?
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Yes. It is amazing how many movies they film north of Boston. Grown Ups was filmed about a mile from my parents house. A friend didn't believe me until I took her to the park where they filmed. A good friend always gets into movies as an extra. His biggest scene was in The Fighter with Christian Bale and Donnie Walberg. He played a prison guard and improvised in a scene. The director yelled cut and asked him why he grabbed Christian Bale during the prison fight scene. His response is I am a prison guard, of course I am going to stop the fight. They kept it in. We get a kick going to bars and telling women he is a movie star and then we show them his two scenes.
Some of the big release movies all filmed with 10 miles of each other:
Witches of Eastwick
Mermaids
Grownups
The Crucible
The Town
The Proposal
Paul Blart Mall Cop
Glory
Blown Away
Fever Pitch
Field of Dreams
Mystic River
Great Movie and Reaction !! Thank You Ladies
Thanks for watching!!
Why is it when you two started crying, I started crying.
First time watching, and realized those were third year problems on the chalkboard. Took me a bit out of the movie. Recently, asked a history professor from the local uni if he thought the history lesson Will gave was too easy. He said no. So, not all watered down.
