  • Analysis of the Film Good Will Hunting

    2142 Words  | 5 Pages

    Good Will Hunting is the graceful tale of a young gentleman’s struggle to find out where he belongs in the world, by first finding out who he himself is. In this film, Matt Damon takes on the role of a disturbed genius that has a keen understanding of the deepness of human character. The film is a voyage through the mind of Will Hunting as he is required to undergo psychotherapy as an alternative to serving jail time. With the assistance of a psychologist, played by Robin Williams, Will learns about himself and recognizes his individual worth in the world by comprehending what is most important to him in his own life. This motion picture serves as a source of superb example for film technique. Gus Van Sant’s directing ability joined with the writing skills of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who also plays Will’s best buddy, Chuckie, is a vibrant mixture of technical features used to induce sentiment and compassion amongst the viewers of this heart-warming film. Characteristics of the color, angles, shots, camera movement, editing, and distortions are all each particularly noteworthy to the general composition of Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting.

    Context and Tradition: Published in 1954, The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien is a work of fiction written during the modern literary period. Historically, many things were going on during the time it was published, such as the Korean War, beginning in 1950. Other notable events during this decade include the beginning of the civil rights movement in 1954, when segregation was ruled illegal in the United States, and the beginning of the Space Age with the launch of Sputnik I by the Russians in 1957. An artistic work that The Fellowship of the Ring reminds me of is The Game of Thrones, a high fantasy novel by George R.R. Martin. Both worlds are filled with magical creatures, and concern themselves with an alternate world heavily reliant on magic, as both universes do not have access to the technology available in the real world.

    ...e people and love the living. Next, since when have vampires protected humans? Vampires are supposed to be creatures that prey ruthlessly upon humans, not cold-blooded creatures that assure the safety of humans. Along with that, what type of vampire refuses to drink human blood? Isn’t that what the most basic and well-known trait of a vampire? Apparently, Twilight has changed the most fundamental and defining trait of the monster called the vampire, the thirst for human blood. What do you call a vampire that doesn’t drink blood. This change has led Yabroff to say “Twilight especially pushed the vampire myth to it’s extreme”(Yabroff par.7). Thus, there are many differences with the original vampire and the new Twilight version. The past work of all fictional writers, movie directors, etc. have all been spat on by the new refined vampire image from the Twilight Saga.
