Short plot
20-year-old Will Hunting (Matt Damon) of South Boston has a genius-level intellect but chooses to work as a laborer in construction and spend his free time with his friends Chuckie Sullivan (Ben Affleck), Billy McBride (Cole Hauser) and Morgan O'Mally (Casey Affleck). He also works as a janitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Fields Medal-winning combinatorialist Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård) has posted a difficult problem taken from algebraic graph theory as a challenge for his graduate students to solve. Will solves the problem quickly and anonymously, leading Lambeau to post a much more difficult problem. He chances upon Will solving it, but Will runs off.While out drinking with his friends, Will meets Skylar (Minnie Driver), a British student about to graduate from Harvard University and go on to Stanford University School of Medicine in California. Afterward, Will gets in a fight and attacks a police officer, and is faced with incarceration. Lambeau arranges for him not to serve jail time if he agrees to study mathematics under Lambeau's supervision and to see a therapist. Will agrees, but treats his first few therapists with contempt and they refuse to work with him. In desperation, Lambeau calls on Sean Maguire (Robin Williams), his estranged college roommate who also grew up in South Boston. Unlike the other therapists, Sean pushes back at Will and overcomes his defense mechanisms, and after a few unproductive sessions Will begins to open up...

Review
Amazing piece of work! This is the movie in 1997 that should have won best picture.I don't think people truly realize the genius behind a film like Good Will Hunting. This story is so intelligent and thought-provoking that several producers who read the script could not fathom it was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, actors who at their age would normally be portraying drunken frat boys at a party. After all, there are some very mature themes in this movie: abuse, personal pain, distrust and coping with guilt. Yet, there were also comic elements in the film that kept the story from becoming too serious and depressing. This movie demonstrates that despite our natural talents and strengths, we are still vulnerable human beings who get hurt. Absolutely Brilliant! It would have been understandable if this was written by a psychologist, but it wasn't. Hence the widespread acclaim and brilliance behind this piece of work! If THAT is not an indication of sheer genius, then tell me what is? Please, don't say a big boat that collides with an Iceberg.
The acting in Good Will Hunting on all accounts was superb. This was by far Robin Williams's best role to date. He nailed the part with such frank and believable honesty. It couldn't have been done any better. I'm glad he finally got his long deserved oscar. Thankfully, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon did, too. It would have been a crime if the authors of this brilliant work didn't receive the recognition they deserved.
