1448 words
An individual is shaped and molded by how they are treated by those that surround them. Most people value the opinions of those they care about and want to act in accord. Consequently, the choices people make are greatly influenced by the people in their lives. Sometimes, someone will become close with people who are different from each other. Such is the case in Good Will Hunting. Will Hunting (Matt Damon) struggles between the people that created him and the people that discovered him. Will Hunting is a 20 year old genius with untapped potential. Lacking a post-secondary education, Will spends his time reading borrowed library books. What he reads, he knows. He can quote college textbook pages and understand theoretical math and science principles that men at the top of the math field struggle with. But his knowledge isn’t put to use as he mops the floors of Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a janitor. He takes breaks from cleaning to solve the math problems that Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard) post outside his classroom. Lambeau wants to know who solves his math problems, which are too complex for all his theoretical math students. As Lambeau is leaving his office late at night, he discovers a janitor grafting on his board. Lambeau chases Will off, but soon realizes he has found a genius. Assuming he’s fired, Will heads out with his friends to blow off steam. When they come across Will’s old elementary bully, they decide to beat him up. As Will is wailing punches on his former bully, the cops show up. Will recites quotes about American liberty as he represents himself in court. The judge is unimpressed as he reviews Will’s rap sheets and says there is no way for Will to talk his way out of j... ... middle of paper ... ...rspectives and opportunities. It is friendship that has the power to keep a person close to home. And it is friendship that gives a person the support to leave their home. Works Cited Ebert, Roger. "Good Will Hunting."

232 wordsRead More - Dr.Maguire helps Will by generally using empathetic psychodynamic therapy, encouraging the intimate discussion of the client's symptoms and the effects on the client's life. By providing clients with meaningful self-insight on their experiences, psychodynamic therapy is useful for people with a traumatic childhood. But the most important aspect of Dr.Maguire's method is his strong relationship with Will. Other psychologists failed with Will by using outdated therapies like “free association” and not creating an empathetic relationship. Good Will Hunting has thus humorously dealt with the stereotypes of outdated psychotherapies and incompetent therapists. Charlie also receives psychodynamic therapy, though the film doesn't depict the exact dynamics of this treatment. Charlie's situation differs from Will's in that he isn't treated until he is hospitalized for a severe mental breakdown, while Will is treated before his mental condition can deteriorate. Charlie's sessions with psychiatrist Dr.Burton help him recover, and he continues seeing her on a weekly basis after his release from hospital.

One’s family cannot be with them all the time, especially as a person grows older.
