To commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the release of "Good Will Hunting", to trace the origin of the story

In 1993, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon found a new apartment in Los Angeles. Two imaginative young artists chose this fairytale house. This unusual little house was created in 1923 by the French architect Jean-Louis Egasse and the owners Albert and Constance Braasch. The cottage draws inspiration from French architecture and Scandinavian flair, and adds some quirky character elements, such as stained glass windows, wall reliefs and rough woodwork, and a playful asymmetrical arched entrance. It was here that Ben and Matt completed the script for Good Will Hunting. In 2013, it was listed as a historical and cultural building by the City of Los Angeles.

    3.5. Only from this script can it be seen that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have active creative talents and ideological levels. What the film captures at the core is actually the confusion caused by Aristotle's teleology: Does the flute appear to be able to be played? Is honey so sweet to be eaten? Mathematics professors have always insisted on teleology, Matt Damon strongly rebelled against teleology, Robin Williams wavered in the middle. The three parties subvert each other and try to make the other party suspicious. These doubts represent how to recognize and treat the outside world, and then try hard to get into the camp or resist and destroy oneself. The philosophical setting of the core theme is perfect, and the creative motivation can give 90 points. It's a pity that the film is caught up in the boring showy and long and straight emotional argument about the talent of Matt Damon in appearance, which is directly beautified, without the moving contrast and dramatic effect. To me, Ben Affleck’s monologue facing Matt Damon next to his car is the most exciting of all his performances so far. The emotion is restrained and abundant, sober and moving. What's also interesting is that its architecture is actually a martial arts film model.

    The experience did not bury my talents, but it wiped out my self-confidence. I was frightened and grew up with arrogance. I depended on this way to protect myself, and finally waited for the sentence: It's not my fault.

Good Will Hunting quotes

  • Lambeau: You're angry at me for doing what you could have done; but ask yourself, Sean. Ask yourself if you want Will to feel that way, if you want him to feel like a failure.

    Sean: Oh, you arrogant shit! That's why I don't come to the goddamned reunions, 'cause I can't stand that look in your eye. Ya know, that condescending, embarrassed look. You think I'm a failure. I know who I am, and I'm proud of what I do. I was a conscientious choice, I didn't fuck up! And you and your cronies think I'm some sort of pity case. You and your kiss-ass chorus following you around going, "The Fields Medal! The Fields Medal!" Why are you still so fuckin' afraid of failure?

  • Chuckie: [in a bar] I didn't get on Cathy last night.

    Will: No?

    Chuckie: Nah.

    Will: Why not?

    Chuckie: I don't know.

    [yells across room]

    Chuckie: Cathy!

    Cathy: What?

    Chuckie: Why didn't you give me none of that nasty little hoochie-woochie you usually throw at me?

    Cathy: Oh, fuck you and your Irish curse, Chuckie. Like I'd waste my energy spreading my legs for that Tootsie Roll dick? So go home and give it a tug yourself.
