what be about mathematical genius that get the critic juice flow . a beautiful mind wasn ` t up to much in my opinion ( fellowship of the ring deserve the oscar that year ) while good will hunt have several award lavish on it undeservedlyfirst off be the script . when i attend film school i be tell good will hunt be a very good example on how not to start a script and the tutor be right . this movie lack any type of open hook and for the most part it very very slow . if you write an unsolicited script like this the script reader would have give up on it by page 15structure aside the idea of a member of the american underclass be some sort of intellectual god doesn ` t really ring true . ask yourself this represent if he the cleverst character in the movie how come he go through his short life without anyone notice his ability . not one single teacher from his childhood notice his gift . highly unlikely a be the fact he read so much mind expand litrature . and if will so clever how come he so oblivous of what happen to young good look boy in american prison . but it the cast that let much of the film down . you want to get a couple of actor to play rough tough irish gang member . let get matt damon and ben affleck which be like get russell crowe to play a pacifist or charles bronson to play a liberal do gooder . i fail to be convince by the foul mouth damon and affleck a they strut about smack people in the chop and couldn ` t help thinking that even though they write the script the part should have be award to different actor and after all billy bob thornton have write screenplay for film he hasn ` t be cast in and the same criterion should have be apply herethere be some good point to the movie . robin williams be excellent a the man who try to show will his potential and also very good be stellan skarsgard who be quite simply one of the great character actor to step foot outside of europe and despite my previous criticism of the script there be quite a move piece of dialogue at the park a williams character explain to will what he have see in lifebut i ` ve get to repeat that there less plus point than negative to this movie and i ` ve get to agree with the people who ` ve say good will hunt be boring and unconvincing .
