Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting

            While reading and going through chapter 3, I read many film making vocabulary/ideas. But the biggest ones I saw, and that I can relate are: suspense, significance of title, and conflict. In this blog I will be going through all of them. They were not hard at all to find while watching the movie, it was harder to try to keep up with the movie while writing.

            The first one is suspense. When I think of suspense, I think of things that I would never expect. So in this film, the biggest twist to me was that the janitor was actually very educated in the science and mathematics area. I thought since Will Hunting was a janitor, he was not very well educated, but boy was I wrong!

            Next is significance of the title. The first time I read the title, I thought that it was going to be a movie about the sport of hunting. I think that the significance is that he gives up so much for what he loves. He does it for the good of the idea, not for the money. This is where conflict incorporates in with this.

Having the opportunity to go somewhere else, and have a better paying job, but turning it down for his wife, construction job, and to stay in his childhood neighborhood. Yes all these things mean a lot to me, but the way I look at it is your wife could come with, He would get a better job, and he could start a new experience at a new neighborhood.

From analyzing this film, I thought very hard on what the theme and plot was. But after thinking hard about it, I think the movie tries to get the idea across not to judge people, and do not underestimate them. The most famous people now a day’s did not have anything before they started. Kind of like this story.
