Analysis of Good Will Hunting

The film, Good Will Hunting, follows the 20-year-old South Boston laborer Will Hunting, an unrecognized genius in math and chemistry. Later he is appreciated by a renowned professor of advanced mathematics who takes him to therapists. Through his therapy sessions with Sean, Will re-evaluates his relationships with his best friend, his girlfriend, and himself, facing the significant task of thinking about his future. Finally, Will opens his heart and walks out of that door. One important element that is significant through out the entire film is the relationship of blood brotherhood between Chuckie and Will. They grow up together; they know the other the same as they know about themselves; they are there for each other; they want the best for each other. The relationship between them is as pure as crystal, as selfish as close relatives. And this paper will analyze how the elements of this relationship stands as symbol for accompany of a closed and lonely heart. The viewers will see it actually turns out to be an important part of the courage and reason for love and life.

In the beginning of the film, the four friends hang out a lot, in bars, in batting cages, etc. and all this time Will’s life is the same as it used to be, which is simple and self-closed in that safe but lonely circle. One day after watching a baseball game, Will decides to beat the daylights out of Carmine (a gay that they four hate).

Will loves her but he is too frail to open himself to her because he’s afraid to be hurt by those who he loves. So when he calls his girlfriend in a heavy rain but he dares not speak a word.

And when Will’s girlfriend comes to visit them three, Chuckies plays a perfect role as a brother: he is polite to the girl and lend Will his car. These two scenes show that true friends are those who know all your weakness but they will try to protest and company you rather than unmask you.

Towards the end of the film, Will, after some therapy sessions with Sean, has already gone to the acre of his heart but he still needs a hand to open the door for him. When on the building field, Will tells Chuckie that he has broken up with his girlfriend. “ Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by to pick you up, and we go out drinkin' or whatever and we have a few laughs. But you know what the best part of my day is? The ten seconds before I knock on the door' cause I let myself think I
