Good Will Hunting (1997) is an award-winning movie drama starring two of Hollywood's most liberal actors: Matt Damon and Robin Williams. Damon, who co-wrote the screenplay with supporting actor Ben Affleck, plays a young man in Boston whose desire to fit in with his peers conflicts with his desire to succeed in career and love.
Will Hunting and his best friend Chuckie (played by screenwriters Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) lived in South Boston ("Southie") since they were kids. Chuckie has a good job in construction. Will works as a janitor and can't even afford a car.
Blessed with academic genius, Will is a poster boy for underachievement. A page at a glance reader, gifted with perfect recall, he has taught himself so well in mathematics and history as to win bar debates with Harvard grad students. But he just sits alone in his room at night.
It all changes when two things happen (and three new people come into his life).
