"Good Will Hunting "( Gus Van Sant )

From the Paper:

"This paper analyzes Gus Van Sant's film, "Good Will Hunting," written by two of the film's stars, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The movie tells the story of a natural genius whose troubled background prevents him from using his gifts. Only when he is forced to spend time with a therapist with an equally troubling past is he able to free himself from the traps of his past.

Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is a "broom-pushing prodigy from South Boston" (Maslin B10). Orphaned at an early age, Will has traveled from one abusive, neglectful foster home to another, accumulating a juvenile record and a reputation as a rebel without any kind of a cause. His one saving attribute (besides his incredible good looks) is an amazing brain: a photographic memory, a fascination with history, and a genius-level facility.."
