VHS Movie Reviews of Good Will Hunting [VHS]
Movie Review: GREAT MOVIE...BUT DVD HAS BEEN ALTERED :-0 BOO!
Summary: 4 Stars
Why do they do this??? I have the VHS of this movie and now have the DVD. The school yard fight scene has a different sound track on the DVD!??? Why?? What really makes me mad is that it ruins the scene. The first time I saw this movie and heard the mellow(Gerry Rafferty?)song playing while the boys are duking it out in the school yard....I thought...WOW! what a cool choice of music for such a violent scene! Now In the DVD version, they have replaced the song with some audio effected bells??? Weird and exasperating!! 5 stars for the movie,but one deducted for the cruel joke they have played on me! Boo..... Movie Review: But who is Will hunting?
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard the name of this movie many years ago, I was wondering who Will was hunting? Talk about your double-entendres for a title? Now I know better; for the title tells us Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon, is a good man; but a broken one like we all are who live in this imperfect world.
Anyway, I wasn't sure whether to see this film when it came out, but having come from a broken home myself, I loved the film once I saw it. Both Damon and Williams carry the plot line well while using their own natural charisma to draw you into their characters. The camera work in this is also well done. Jean Escoffier did a marvelous job with all the shots.
It's a simple plot of a young man, orphaned; brilliant, who is disconnected in some ways from the world, well in need of love and understanding and who keeps himself protected via his brilliant mind. He's a master wiz with math and is in need of a brilliant intercessor, played by Robin Williams, to help him find his place in the world: Enter in Robin Williams as the psychiatrist. It's a great film dedicated to character development which I've always been big on, even when I was in my teens and twenties; which I must say is a nice walk away at times from the roller coaster ride thrillers Hollywood likes to put out these days. So if you love good character development and a good delivery of the human condition; I'd watch this film.
Both Matt Damon and Robin Williams do a great job with the acting in this. In the scene when Matt breaks down and starts to cry, once Williams brings his character to full term and the gestalt takes place between them in terms of Will Huntings greatest fear, tears started to come down my eyes as well when I think back of the broken home I came out of. Great film: Not boring at all. Well worth the price of admission!
Case and DVD quality were just fine: No complaints. Delivery was on time: Again no complaints.
Movie Review: More Liberal Bias From Hollywood
Summary: 2 Stars
Good Will Hunting is basically a story that is wrapped around one big huge anti NSA message. The main character paints the NSA out to be some omnipotent, sinister organization which is out to drop bombs on harmless people in Africa. It's part of Hollywood's enormous campaign to brainwash the American people to agree with their line of thought, which is liberalism. In Hollywood land, every intelligent person is a liberal and of course the most intelligent person on the planet (who is played by Matt Damon in this movie) has come to the conclusion that the NSA is evil.
The NSA actually protects Americans from terrorism. It is simply an information-gathering organization and it is a vital part of our national defense. Don't let the Hollywood writers fool you. They are not as intellectually superior as they think they are. Steer clear of this film if you want to avoid being brainwashed, but I doubt if you'll be able to, as it is a favorite movie for cable companies. They play it over and over and over again, like it was one of the greatest movies ever or something. They must be in on the conspiracy too.
Movie Review: Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars
When this came out I really did not know what it was and so I ignored it and watched other movies. One day I was at a rental store I was looking around and I seen it on the shelf and so I took a chance and got it finally after all these years. This movie suprised me because I did not think it would be good because of the young writers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were new and did not have any experience at all. The story was good and it worked some how. I recommend to people who have not seen to take look at it and for those who have seen good for you. I bought the movie after I rented it but I recommend people to rent then make a decision.Movie Review: Very good for viewers who don't always need to take sides
Summary: 4 Stars
What I like most about this film is its characters. There's a Harvard professor, a depressed psychologist, a good friend, and last but not least, a pretty, intelligent girl. Not to mention the main character, a genious with an extensive police record who seems to enjoy getting drunk and fighting on the street.
These characters have different points of view, but this does not mean that some of the characters are good and some of them are evil. Everyone has good intentions. But the "right" thing to do doesn't seem to be crystal clear.
