This post contains spoilers for Good Will Hunting.
Now that Matt Damon & Ben Affleck are working together for the script of The Last Duel, let’s look back at their Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting, which won them Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for the late Robin Williams. The movie excels at making an empathetic movie that has the audience grasping for the main character to overcome the lie he believes.
Good Will Hunting follows Will, a Boston kid with the misfortune of being an orphan since a very young age, but also with the uncommon gift of eidetic memory. Will believes a very specific lie: he believes that emotional suffering will follow if he steps outside his comfort zone. This lie that our character believes is protected by the walls Will built around himself as a coping mechasism, after a childhood of traumas thanks to his foster father. These defensive mechanisms tend to hurt whomever challenges him to face the truth that challenges the lie he believes, before the possibility of him feeling any emotional pain, as in a “Better them than me” attitude.
His life pivots drastically when he solves an almost impossible math problem, and Professor Lambeau seeks him to add the wonder-kid to his close group. The Professor doesn’t want to see this kind of talent wasted so he gives Will the necessary tools for him to explode his intellectual gift and follow a successful professional life.
This turn of events happen at the same time he meets his love interest for the rest of the movie, Skylar. The opportunity to exploit his intellectual gift and his new girlfriend serve as a challenge to the lie he believes, to which Will, true to his character defense mechanisms, regresses every time some notorious progress is made.
Will continues to self-sabotage his life by not allowing himself to step outside of his confort zone by turning down jobs or knowingly hurting his girlfriend when things get too serious. All the missing opportunities only frustrate the audience and the characters surrounding Will, who are left with impotence while they try and make Will see his true potential.
Ben Affleck’s character (Chuckie) serves as the audience voice, expressing his frustration while seeing the potential waste that Will may become because of his pride and unwillingness to step forward. Chuckie, Lambeau and Suzie are all stomped by Will’s stubbornness and fail to break down the walls around his emotional side by not knowing precisely what the root of his trauma is. Each character helps Will look the reality he needs to face but are unable to break his walls. All but one:
Enter Sean the unorthodox psychologist played by Robin Williams.
Through their sessions, Sean starts peeling the onion layers in Will’s defensive mechanisms by the means of example and wisdom; by not treating him like the gifted wonder he is, but the scared boy who hasn’t fully experienced what life may show him. The different treatment that Sean gives Will becomes a lesson which is very well explained in their talk by the lake, juxtaposing knowledge and experience which helps them bond in a way that leaves Will vulnerable.
Sean needed to embody a father-like figure for Will and fill the void left by the death of his parents and the scars that his foster father left in him. The key for unleashing the trauma that was wearing Will down was the cathartic realization that the abuse he suffered as a kid was not his fault. This small but powerful realization was needed for Will to tear down the powerful lie.
This simple, yet powerful change of mind was the missing piece that made Will finally grow, step out of his comfort zone, make the most of his intellectual gift, and finally: go see about a girl.
