Good Will Hunting is a touching drama written by the then-unknown screenwriting duo Affleck/Damon. It is surprising that two people with absolutely no experience can write a screenplay filled to the brim with emotion.
Matt Damon plays the lead character of Will Hunting. Hunting, throughout the movie tries to get relationships with people, and in the end, just pushes them away.
Damon acted brilliantly, but the heart of the film is with the underrated Minnie Driver, who plays Hunting's woman friend. She acts great, for someone who hasn't had any experience.
The surprise of Good Will Hunting was the emotional dexterity of the script, which at some points was hilariously funny, while at other points made people pour tears.
This film got snubbed at the Oscars because people don't like movies with bad content. Just don't let the young un's watch it without adult supervision.
