About Good Will Hunting:
The most brilliant mind at America’s top university isn’t a student, he’s the kid who cleans the floors. Will Hunting is a headstrong, working-class genius who is failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will’s last chance is a psychology professor, who might be the only man who can reach him. Finally forced to deal with his past, Will discovers that the only one holding him back is himself.

"My boy's wicked smaat."
drumempire 💯
yesca jasta no shit Sherlock he just quoted a line because it connects with the video
What a great movie
No you aaahhh
Holy shit
NSA: So is that a no?
Lol! Exactly.
Will : "I'll keep your job offer in my cabinet for 6 months just in case I change my mind".
made me laugh
Keep ya head close to the Grindstone. lol
"Break this code: Get Bent!"
He just described why Veterans laugh at “Thanks for your service.”
I really think its a slap to the face. Veterans face homelessness and mental illness rates higher than pretty much every other demographic simply because old rich guys need to make more money.
and why i never say thanks for your service.
Don't thank Marines for our service. We don't give a fuck. If you want to show me thanks, come paint my house, put a new roof on or pay off my mortgage. Now that's how you say THANKS! Now fuck you very much.
I know it seems insulting to say soldiers are just "political pawns". But do you honestly think warfare compares to the first two world wars? WWII is as black and white as you're gonna get. Today it's based around financial interest. You know how much is spent on countering terrorism? Imagine if I invented a magic machine that made everyone all peaceful and we all smoke joints and fuck and live in prosperity. They don't want that, cause the defense contractors will lose hundreds of billions of dollars. So today, its fair to say warfare and war in general doesn't have the same meaning it had in the past. So yes, if you're a soldier? You're furthering someone else's interests who wouldn't give two fucks about you or even cares that you're "serving your country". And once you're done serving? They chew you up and spit you out. So it's either go straight back into the fire or find illegal means of making money. We serve our veterans so well don't we?
@Tommy Hass Wasn't suggesting everyone against Hitler was "good". I was saying WWII is as black and white as you're gonna get. Even then it isn't as black and white as some stories were at a certain time.
As a Marine who went to Iraq. I can honestly say this was a brilliant theory. More accurate than people think. Those waiting to disagree, at least be respectful. Being an arrogant disrespectful troll from behind a screen is nowhere near impressive to anyone except the person who types and others who co-sign it.
Crazy to think this was before Iraq. It's almost like this stuff is scripted
@@haandawg i mean Desert Storm was before
@@suspicioususer the 2003 invasion of Iraq is what people remember the most; Sadly, I doubt most people can even guess what Desert Storm was.
Hanibalistic27 I know right?!
Brandon Michaels True indeed
To think Matt and Ben wrote this while in their early 20's astounds me. This movie is so spot on and they spoke about issues that were not even popular back in the 90's! Matt was brilliant in this role. Ben was the perfect best friend. Great film!!!
People have been talking about these issues since Vietnam.
and now in 2023 Ben is pimping Dunkin' Donuts pumpkin spice coffee on tv commercials as "brand embassador" and trying to rap. smdh kzhead.info/sun/ZqyrgdOGinZ4e5s/bejne.html&ab_channel=Dunkin%27
agree this is brilliantly written. the issues that he brings up were probably more popular than you think in the 90s but the people in power have been developing a public relations strategy (essentially a propaganda machine) for many decades - a machine which disseminates information that conforms to a fairly strict agenda but also very effectively suppresses information that doesn't fit that agenda. Vietnam was arguably much worse in terms of human suffering - not only in southeast Asia but also here in the states (though to a much lesser extent)... and there were significant protests against the vietnam war. the people in power include experts at indoctrinating the population though - and they target young people especially... because young people of course are the future... and the powerful want to keep their military machine alive. this is the way every nation state operates by the way... they are power centers. power centers produce all kinds of violence and fear. i see them as mafias for the most part... criminal organizations
I am an Afghan veteran. Served two tours. Saw how the army contractors had insanely more money and better life than us. While those of us who joined the Army for 'higher cause' and followed directives of the NSA, are now left ashamed, useless, and wish we had listened to Matt Damon.
aw poor baby. It was your choice. YOU signed up. You wanted the money, or education, or whatever the fuck your motives were. But in the end it was Your choice.

'Not your fault' was probably the most brilliant scene, and 'Say you dont love me' was probably the most impressive acting performance, but this is my favorite part of the movie. It really hammers home that Will is actually a good person and just puts on a tough guy brovado. He deeply cares for other people and is so ridiculously intelligent he can deduce all of the 1% bullshit and call it for what it is. Plus, this message is extremely important for every American to hear.
Tommy Hass just why with the anti semitism tho
Right on right on.
@Some One So you know what every person in history was, is, or going to be going through because of their past with their parents/guardians. Your arrogance is mind boggling.
@Some One That was one of my favorite scenes. Didn't think it was forced at all. Almost everyone is affected by what happens to them during their childhood and it shapes them good or bad to who they are when they grow up.
my life...without the math genius part
Damn 20 years later and what he said is still so damn accurate.
Mah bois wicket smaht
He is a good actor and intellectual
The truth is always accurate
"History repeats itself" also means "shit never really changes."
@@tubehound69 It goes by many names. "War...war never changes" :D lol, only intelligent people can see it its like being on a different plane than everyone else. You see the aspects happening around you while so many mindlessly go about their day unaware of what is happening. Look at the US...same thing that happened to Rome is happening to the US now.
To think that this was written nearly 15 years before the Edward Snowden leak, this was remarkably insightful, accurate, and borderline prophetic.
Not prophetic because it had already been done.
The fact he hasn’t been pardoned just proves the United States is run by criminals. And there is no way to fix it
What Damon said has been the standard view that 3rd party movements in America have held for much of the 20th century. There were people questioning the logic of selling military goods to Germany and Japan prior to WWII. America has a rich tradition of questioning government power, it’s just rarely reflected in how our elections are decided.
@@hellsunicorn that's because you don't have democratic elections, the system most countries have is the illusion of choice. The entire system is ruled by the class who wrote the rules and own the media
Do you mean 25 years ago? Good Will Hunting came out in 1997.
I love how the scene changes mid monologue from the interview at the NSA to the chair in Robin Williams' office, where Will is telling him about the interview. Visually interesting detail that catches your attention and draws you in.
Solid point. One of my favorite movies ever.
loved the movie, so wrapped up in the dialogue, didn't notice the chair change, well spotted!
I could do you one better. They have a name for that, they call it "a transition". MIND=BLOWN right?
Not only that. The interviewer asks him "Why shouldnt you?", which is supposed to be a constructive cross question for the test. But that actually got the idea of why should he not, and he is explaining to Robin Williams in his office, that he thinks hes "holding out for something better". Reasons why he did not take in the job also. Genius storytelling in this scene.
AND the fact that will recited to Sean the response he gave to the NSA verbatim
this might be the greatest most underrated line in the history of cinema
it's not just a line, this is a goddamn speech.
I dunno, this one gives it a run for it's money. kzhead.info/sun/la2pe8qvaGljrJE/bejne.html
This scene is great because it reiterates that he isn't just innately intelligent with math. Throughout the film you see him read, crushing books, just to learn about something, like the military industrial complex, or psychology, organic chemistry etc... and then of course Robin's character shows him that fictional literary characters, while enjoyable, can't replace real life connections with people.
There's this one scene where he's going through a a book finishing through each page every few seconds
@@freddyhercz153 totally, and its cool because he's an immersive learner. He refutes bad arguments and ideas throughout the movie with stuff he's learned by reading. Sean knows this when he says, "you read those books, what about those books, which are the right books?' Will uses knowledge to keep the world at bay.
@@ianhenefield6491 I just rewatched it and he's reading faster than what I previously said. I tried to scan my eyes through my book as fast as he did and you would almost have to understand what the book was telling you just with the whole box of text in your peripheral. Ya know, I thought I knew a lot through tiktoks, articles, and random facts, but books that really challenge me have crazy influence.
@@freddyhercz153 totally...they have the benefit of being deeper, rather than surface- level information which we enjoy (social media, tok, articles etc...) Like, a good book will make you feel anger, sadness, humor etc...in a way that surface level media just can't touch.
@@ianhenefield6491 he reads so fast, but you can also see that he laughed at the book and didn't finish it. It's impressive how fast he was reading, but what makes a book good as well is if it challenges your judgment, which he clearly has.
This is my favorite clip; Will has a great grasp of the unintended consequences of working for an intelligence agency/ military industrial complex not knowing what they plan to do with the info you are giving them.
You know exactly what they’re going to do with it.

This is so prescient, but such a painful mindset to live in. "You don't want to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing 10 miles down the road." This film is an astonishingly accurate portrait of someone who's been traumatized.
Lots of people, myself included, fear success, and self-sabotage as a result. It seems simpler to stay with what's familiar, and to fear accomplishment because it may create expectations of you in the future, and some fear on failing to meet those even before they are actually expected of them. Hence, the self-sabotage. It's very common, and I sympathize with anyone else suffering similar thoughts. It's not also necessarily just because of trauma either, but fear of rejection, fear of disappointing those that you care about and who care about you, fear of the unknown. Sometimes it's just fear: non-specific and irrational. In this movie, Will has both that fear, as well as a trauma that adds onto it, but it doesn't necessarily need to be both. Often times it's just that fear by itself: an irrational fear of something that you don't even know yet. You used a good road analogy, and I'll say that it can be an existential fear: a fear of nothing, a fear you don't even know what, just fear. Someone might be afraid of roadblocks on the road, but they're still too paralyzed by that fear to even start the path, because they aren't even 1 mile down that road, let alone 8, to see the roadblock at mile 9. There are other reasons too, but often there that underlying element of fear. I agree with you, I am just trying to add that it's not necessarily about trauma. Will has trauma sure, but as it's pointed out, he's also afraid to take those risks, emotionally, spiritually, academically, etc. because he's so afraid of things not working out that he's content in his familiar life. While I myself, and many others, didn't necessarily suffer the same level of physical and emotional trauma Will suffered, each of us potentially has our own emotional traumas that create those fears, of losing people in our lives (sometimes even fear of losing negative people, because, again, it's a familiar state to be in). In this film, a lot of his fear of losing good relationships is for sure born of trauma, but again I think it goes a bit more broader. Hence why the movie is probably so beloved. Thanks for your comment, as I believe you are right, and additionally, it had the added result of inspiring my own additional thoughts on the matter.
he's describing reality.
Yeah. The contention is that to see things as mostly negative at most levels is the most accurate and realistic way to see them. It's just not useful to overly see it that way. Positivity brings delusion, but a little, and occasionally a lot, can be a choice that actually helps to continue to improve that baseline state of affairs. Just because of course life is suffering, doesn't mean there aren't ways to attempt to leave it slightly better than you found it across multiple timescales. It's why idealism is perennial, and so should it be, as it represents something not only genuinely benevolent and admirable our species' capacities, but it's adaptive too. Or to get spoonier: one can suggest our species has variously decided that love and/ or positive focus are at least equal to truth, and so that has proven a pragmatic psychological strategy to progress and improve in the face of the harsh challenge of life.
The problem for most seems to be seeing these aspects as necessarily opposed. Just because cognitively they often must take turns doesn't mean they can't evolve their cooperation with increasing sophistication. Analytical mind is a subset of human mind: the brain is the impressive dominant infrastructure, the source of power. So my only pointed criticism of the logical aspect of truth-seeking is it tends to presume its own higher level cognitive superiority to other packages on the basis of some absolutely respectable comparisons, but quite without more fundamental justification in a fuller context. This is probably one of those rivalries-that-always-becomes-true-alliance tropes that every generation and perhaps every individual has to think and feel through for themselves.
except this clearly isn't just about trauma and self-sabotage. fuck you guys think the NSA does lol, what matt damon says in the scene is pretty accurate.
And this is why Will volunteered Project Treadstone, became Jason Bourne
The kind of actor who plays many roles, on all sides of the equation. I'd imagine he played a Martian cosmonaut. Might as well play a religious maniac next or some kind of rebel. Bad guy roles do well for him, as well as "nasty good guys."
@@nickolausafon5458 ''the green hornet'' Wasn't that a war film he starred in as well, taking place in the middle east somewhere ? Edit: I just googled it. it's ''Green Zone''
Lmao
As an Army vet I concur: The truth really is greater than fiction.
I couldn't disagree more. Fiction is almost always far more entertaining and engaging than truth. Real life and reality is usually boring, tedious, and feels like a chore.
@@CheerfullyCynical829 No, non-fiction espionage stories are very entertaining. War stories too. There are channels on KZhead that tell stories about various aspects of history that are very interesting. There's stories about animals doing amazing things.
Matt Damon was a savage....a beast! There're few actors this good.
That is very true.
You ask my why this won an Oscar for best original screen play, I show you this.
It wasn't until it got this far in the movie, where I realized exactly how BRILLIANT this guy actually is. There is no limit to his capabilities, mentally wise.
.
There should be more comments on this. Its too brilliant not to be talked about and discussed with the general public.
lol
Mika West it's True!.. so true..
Brilliant? This junk? Ugh!
it's too generic of a statement: "bet you were a stepdaughter, poor, molested, fucked, never had a steady boyfriend." most popular quotes from this movie are a bit boring.
to clarify: i like this movie a lot, but you have to assume the dude is a genius to enjoy it. don't just nod and think "man, he's so right!" when the fact is everything here is written by screenwriters, not geniuses. it's like thinking mr. robot is deep and smart, or rick and morty reqs. 200 IQ.
1:11- the seamless transition from the NSA interview to Sean's office. Subtly brilliant.
Maybe on the first viewing. The audio switch is not subtle.
Why shouldn't I work for the NSA? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at NSA and somebody puts a code on my desk, something no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it, maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels are hiding. Fifteen hundred people that I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were all pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie over there takin' shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe they even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work, he can't afford to drive, so he's walking to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin', 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard. I could be elected president
Julio JA1 you wrote this at the perfect time. 50 minutes later, I'm looking through the comments for the transcript to read along to it. Thank you :)
Ethan Ross lol copy and paste
damn. how can matt damon memorize all those lines?
@@shah1668 how do you know it wasn't there for him to read?
This....is why genius's always worry. Cause that's how far ahead they think, and they know all the road blocks. So it's very easy for one to say "why do anything?".
Everything in this film and specifically in this scene was inspired by Damon's respect and relationship with Howard Zinn. If youve real interest in digging into how and why he thinks like he does, and where this film garnered its inspiration, "The Peoples History of the United States". He references it in and outside this film.
Best book ive ever read. Followed that up with confessions of an economic hitman while in the army. Lost my mind 🤣
1998 Department of 'Defense': "This is a pretty good movie but that NSA scene gave me an idea...hmm..." *3 years later*

Love the use of symbolism in this scene. There’s what looks like a dorsal fin sitting atop the desk, letting us know he’s a dangerous man.
There were two, and we know which one the NSA is. Whole scene is pitch perfect. “Do you feel alone Will?”
One of the best monologues I've ever heard
When you realize that even despite telling people the truth....handing it to them on a silver platter...they are still to ignorant and will continue to listen to the blatant lies of those who dont give a shit about them...
Brave of you to believe that people are able to be intelligent regarding these matters.

100% truth in film. This movie had a ton of balls! Thank you for posting.
You missed the point of this scene. It was to show how scared Will is of taking any chances, he'd go out of his way to see pitfalls to avoid doing anything with his life.
Well said! 😂 For a man with a chip on his shoulder, he still has empathy.❤️
One of my all-time favorite movie scenes. And dead-on accurate.
Just watched a ‘Watch Mojo’ video on the best monologues, and this do not even make the Honourable mentions. I remember when I saw this BitD I was blown away! This is crazy, one take! Love the way the shot zooms in then when he’s giving his response zooms back out!
This is absolutely perfect, I forgot how great this scene was
Earlier in the film, Will mentions Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and that's where he gets so much of this brilliant monologue.
He just said exactly what I've wanted to say and it's 2019... This is insightful
love this scene
"and join the National Gahd...." that shit kills me
Love this scene! Lines are perfect!
This is by far the best scene in any movie ever!
One of the most powerful scenes put on film, my fav of this movie, Mat be the man, it's always something when the truth is being told.
I know a lot of people see this scene as him spitting truth and there is something to that but I see it as someone who can take any opportunity and chance he can to show off his smarts and at the same time not make any positive moves forward. It's a great scene and his dumbass behavior is called out immediately by his therapist after this cuts off. I think the truth of what he is saying is irrelevant, give him any job interview and he'd have found a way to deflect it because he really IS brilliant but he's also afraid of stepping outside his comfort zone and being challenged. His ability to recount the entire idea seamlessly in my eyes shows just how much of an affect it was. This movie is so amazing.
He summed up and exposed u.s foreign policy!
Ricardo Feitosa more than people realize. The bombing stuff is tangential to the weaponization of chaos math.
A loaded god complex. Cock it and pull it.
What do you mean?
one of the best 90 seconds in the history of cinema.
My favorite scene of from every movie I've seen.
Absolutely THE BEST MOVIE INTERACTION SCENE IN THE HISTORY OF ALL MOVIES !!
I wish I am able to speak this much sense in my life time.
ill settle for just being able to write it.. which he did...
this movie is a true masterpiece and i have been saying that for the last 20 years
Legendary, this is not lying to yourself
the instant cut to the therapy session without skipping a beat in the story is what gets me every time xD. This movie has so damn many legendary scenes.
It's true how you can make a small decision can causes a chain reaction of events that could change the lives of many other people
This is one of the most powerful scenes in any movie. Damn
This for real! awesome dialogue delivery. arresting scene.
So much truth and so many accurate predictions in these minutes.
Major kudos to the screenwriters for this particular NSA script....which incidentally ARE Will Hunting and Chuckie Sullivan (Ben Affleck).
I'm surprised they didn't censor this part of the movie! When movies do good, reporting truth through fiction. I love it.
an awesome piece
Well put.
Insane insane insane, what a scene, one of the most powerful scene put on screen bcuz of it's truthfulness!! one of my favorite movies of all time, Will just shut the man down w/nothing but the truth of politics in America today!
To end it all with, "I could be elected President" really sums it all up.
This clip never gets old XD
He probably read a bit off a teleprompter but that was an iconic monologue
Basically described George W Bush- and this came out in like '97
Not really. Described Clinton and Obama though.
Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, Trump...take your pick. The republicans and the democrats are all the same on foreign policy.
theivory1 You're a cancer.
This has Clinton and Obama all over it
dumbass XD
pay attention . this is the way to complain.
now this is the way to gripe- Tom Hanks
I love how the camera zooms in on him but once he tells a grim picture of our system towards the end, suddenly zooms out for us to me the whole picture. Not sure if that was intentional but it felt that way.
That clip really did age like a fine wine
when you can write lines like these and then perform them you become Elvis. Iconic.
when you write these lines at 23 you are what? wicked smaaaat!
'I'm holding out for something better' lol I use that line with recruiters all the time
Brilliant and right on.
My favorite monologue of all time!!!!
Will is right. I’d rather have a simple life with an average income than be rich and powerful but have to take advantage of innocent people everyday to stay rich and powerful.
“At least I won’t be unoriginal.”
Most important scene from the movie. Accurate even after 25 years!
This and the Tom Hanks long one shot take towards the end of ‘Castaway’ are examples of cinema monologues done right
Great monologue xxx
They left out the best part..."Do you feel alone, Will?"
I'm a recovering Chickenhawk. Then in mid 2000's I started rethinking all the flag waving and "war war war" "bomb em!" stuff and I've felt my views really changing ever since. And what Damon's character says in this scene...shit.....I think it's virtually impossible to argue it. It's sort of sad really.
Good on you for pulling your head out of your ass.
Smart answer!!! Woww!!! Talking about being yourseld no matter what format. Love this movie
I feel like people miss the point of this scene. Yes it is meant to show Will’s ability to see unintended consequences which appear to be viewed as being thought out and well intended. Yet that’s not the reason why he’s doing what he does. The learning he is doing constantly throughout the film is almost meant as a coping strategy for multiple aspects of his life. Meaninglessness from having the intelligence yet being primed at a young age to have negative schemas of the world. This meaninglessness temporarily being filled by defending his friends and the small “victories” in solving equations that no one but him sees, and keeping himself from getting close enough to someone who he would in selfish, not selfless sense, care about. The point following this where he tells robin at least some have the sack to ante back up and play again is a prime example of this push away. Then Robins character once again brings all his fears to the front by pointing out that he can answer all those questions besides “what he wants to do”. All the learning is to hide the fear of emotion.
Crazy Ben and Matt wrote such a masterpiece in their 20's
You actually think those two meatheads wrote this?
I'm surprised that Bob Stuyvesant had the time to work for the NSA. He's usually playing golf near Possum Lodge!
Movie was ahead of it’s time
This is one of the most brilliant scenes ever written.
Basically Edward Snowden making up his mind to leave the NSA.
Getting drunk and playing slalom through icebergs sounds kind of exhilarating.
Absolutely brilliant.
Jason Bourne in the closet. 😎
This is the most memorable monologue in movie history for me.
A classic. Damon and Affleck were smack on with this one.
That's pretty much the blueprint to become president.
Psychopaths tend to go the "1%, business tie, back-stabbing" route. People like Will have the map, who know all the pathways to life. They don't take that route, cause they know the potential effect of their actions.
not a blue print to presidency, but a roadmap of US foreign policy
He is a great actor 👍👌😎, Thank you for all you do 👍👌😎
I think this is the realest thing I've ever heard
I give Damon props for doing this speech, and then becoming a thinking-man's action hero later without becoming a blind war propagandist. Nothing wrong with being patriotic, and he proved that by being in Saving Private Ryan
I think this scene is very powerful in the sense that it's a good example of "Just because I can do it doesn't mean I have to/should. Especially if it's got a lot of benefits to me." Yes, I can be an NSA code breaker but I don't want to work for the NSA and fuck over my fellow Southern Southie Brother. Or anyone for that matter. Yes, I can be a car chopper but I legitamately love cars and just want to be an honest mechanic. Yes, I can over time learn to control; as chief of police; certain sections of the city more than others which I have left in "trusted" hands and overall crime everywhere will be reduced as my backdoor drug dealers make a shit ton of money, everyone involved gets their cut including myself. But I shouldn't. The line doesn't even have to be where legality ends or not either like this example.
Why even go to the interview then?
This scene is incredible
I love the transition but I would love to see the guys reaction to that
" We don't like to brag about that."
Really kept waiting on sunglasses and blunt to emerge. Thug Life
Beautiful.
That was just ... WOW !!!
