This blog is a personal journal of all the movies, Tv-Shows, & Games I consume during a year which enhances my overall experience. The ratings that I give are fully based on my personal preference and enjoyment at the time of watching and I'm writing spoiler-free reviews.

"I'm a guy who is smart but with a procrastination problem as I'm always seeing all the potential things that can go wrong while I'm super stuck inside my Comfort bubble which gives me an enjoyable and carefree, but not always to most fulfilling life. I want to get a motivational boost by watching a movie, can you recommend me one.
In its Reply there were 5 Recommendations of which 3 I already watched and loved. So it was a no brainer to watch one I had not seen yet which happened to be Good Will Hunting.
Good Will Hunting (9.2/10)
This movie is directed by Gus Van Sant who I never really heard of and it can be seen as a one hit wonder as his 2nd best movie is Milk (2007) which I barely knew existed.
The movie is about a young guy who is extremely talented and smart, but because his home childhood situation is an underachiever with a low paid job mostly hanging out with his friends who don't really have the capacity to do better. He works as a cleaner in a university and one day solves one of the equasions a professor put on a whiteboard for his students. He gets in a situation afterward where he gets in a fight (again) and is set for some prison time. The Professor who put up the equasion finds out he solved it and takes him under his wings as he sees his potential to avoid jailtime. This deal also involves him seeing a Psychologist which is played by Robin Williams.
Image SourceI absolutely loved this movie because it was more or less about me at the core of it and there were multiple scenes with lines that perfectly described this in a way I had not heard yet.
Super Philosophy This scene about the Super Philosophy concept kind of woke me up and I have quite some of those myself. Basically it's a theory that justifies never having to do anything. I also really liked how Will Hunting turned this around back at the face of the psychologist at the end.
Sitting On A Winning Lottery Ticket This is another one that perfectly described how I'm kind of feeling in words that were very motivation and will stick with me forever.
I also loved seeing Robin Williams delivering an acting masterclass reminding me how good he actually was. The music by Elliot Smith also was excellent bringing solgs I never heard but wanted in my list instantly so I looked them up. Say Yes and Between The Bars were 2 songs that stood out for me which were perfect for the scenes.

Conclusion This is one of those movies that for me personally was one that deserves to be in my top 10 movies ever watched and I do plan on rewatching it again at times when I need some strong motivational drive. More so, I can say that this movie is potentially life changing but that needs to be seen though. For that, I score it a very high 9.2/10 with still potential to grow. Absolutely loved this one!
