DVD Reviews of Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)
DVD Review: 5 stars easy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wont explain the whole story here as many others have done so already. But I will say that I think it's incredible how the two best friends in this movie, and the two best friends in real life wrote the script for this movie! It's a very good story with great acting, particularly by Robin Williams who needs just as much credit for his acting ability as he has for his comedic sense. This is one of my favorite movies and I recommend it whole heartedly! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might relate to it, and even though you're not a New Yorker, you'll start saying "how do you like them apples?".DVD Review: Good Will Hunting
Summary: 5 Stars
If its the reviw of the film, I think is very good exept for the sexual relationship that shows, really it's not need to bring the message forward. DVD Review: One of my favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie and have been meaning to buy it for years. It's one of those classics (and will maintain classic status) for years to come. I've seen it maybe 8 or 10 times and still love it every time-there is always a new line to pick out or character to identify with. Fantastico!DVD Review: Good Movie, bad DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
No real issues with the film itself, but this disc is awful. Low bitrate (poor picture quality) and non-anamorphic widescreen transfer (so you get those black bars on all 4 sides on your widescreen HDTV). It has been 10 years, isn't it time this got a decent quality DVD release?DVD Review: A movie that makes you think......
Summary: 4 Stars
A must have. Good Will Hunting takes you through Matt Damon's role as a headstrong, working-class genius who has run-ins with the law. Although this movie is recommended for everyone, people that use mathematics or psychology as part of their regular life will strongly benefit from the content of this movie. Also, those that live in the Boston area will really enjoy the movie.
Description of Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)
A true motion picture phenomenon, this triumphant story was nominated for 9 Academy Awards(R) -- winning Oscars for Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor) and hot newcomers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (Best Original Screenplay). The most brilliant mind at America's top university isn't a student ... he's the kid who cleans the floors! Will Hunting (Damon) is a headstrong, working-class genius who's failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will's last chance is a psychology professor (Williams), who might be the only man who can reach him! With acclaimed performances from Academy Award(R)-nominee Minnie Driver (GROSSE POINTE BLANK) and Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) -- you'll find GOOD WILL HUNTING a powerful and unforgettable movie experience!Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nabbed one for Best Original Screenplay, but the feel-good hit Good Will Hunting triumphs because of its gifted director, Gus Van Sant. The unconventional director (My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy) saves a script marred by vanity and clunky character development by yanking soulful, touching performances out of his entire cast (amazingly, even one by Williams that's relatively schtick-free). Van Sant pulls off the equivalent of what George Cukor accomplished for women's melodrama in the '30s and '40s: He's crafted an intelligent, unabashedly emotional male weepie about men trying to find inner-wisdom.
Matt Damon stars as Will Hunting, a closet math genius who ignores his gift in favor of nightly boozing and fighting with South Boston buddies (co-writer Ben Affleck among them). While working as a university janitor, he solves an impossible calculus problem scribbled on a hallway blackboard and reluctantly becomes the prodigy of an arrogant MIT professor (Stellan Skarsg?rd). Damon only avoids prison by agreeing to see psychiatrists, all of whom he mocks or psychologically destroys until he meets his match in the professor's former childhood friend, played by Williams. Both doctor and patient are haunted by the past, and as mutual respect develops, the healing process begins. The film's beauty lies not with grand climaxes, but with small, quiet moments. Scenes such as Affleck's clumsy pep talk to Damon while they drink beer after work, or any number of therapy session between Williams and Damon offer poignant looks at the awkward ways men show affection and feeling for one another. --Dave McCoy
