Where To Watch Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting follows Will Hunting (Matt Damon), a brilliant but troubled young man from Boston who works as a janitor at MIT while hiding an extraordinary talent for mathematics. After secretly solving a difficult graduate-level mathematics problem, Will attracts the attention of Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård). But Will's intelligence cannot protect him from his troubled past, anger and fear of failure. Following a legal problem, he is required to attend therapy with Sean Maguire (Robin Williams), a therapist whose own painful experiences allow him to connect with Will in a way others cannot. Meanwhile, Will's relationship with Skylar (Minnie Driver) and his friendship with Chuckie Sullivan (Ben Affleck) force him to confront an important question: is he willing to leave behind the life he knows and finally use his potential

Did You Know

The famous mathematics problem Will solves at MIT is not simply random movie decoration. The filmmakers consulted mathematicians to make the mathematical material believable. The movie also draws heavily on the contrast between academic genius and emotional intelligence—Will can understand extraordinarily complicated mathematics but struggles to understand himself and accept genuine emotional connection.
