Experiences and difficulties shape us into who we are today. The influence of those around us can mold a person into who they are. Individuals are more likely to respect and value those whose opinions they value. People become more close to other people with a different personality than they. The film Good Will Hunting, for example, is about a troubled young South Boston teenager who struggles to find a place in the world. Will Hunting’s dramatic journey is captured in this film. He is required to undergo psychotherapy instead of being sentenced. Will lived as a foster child and was subject to physical abuse. He had many rejections and was betrayed throughout his life. He never really found someone who could understand him or trust him. Will was a brilliant intellectual who worked as a janitor in MIT. He was a 20 year-old genius with an undiscovered potential. Will’s past was traumatic and he suffered from trust issues. A professor from MIT also discovered Will’s remarkable mathematical abilities. When Will solved a complex mathematical equation left for students at MIT, the professor realized his talent. Will later was taken into custody by authorities after he attacked another officer. Professor Gerald Lambeau proposed a solution to Will’s case. Professor Lambeau proposed that Will be released from jail and placed under Lambeau’s supervision while he studies mathematics. He also wanted him to be supervised by a psychotherapist to help with his anger and deterrent personality. Will accepted the proposition and began seeing several psychologists because he was making them nervous and giving them trouble. He eventually met Sean Maguire, a close friend and psychologist. Maguire doesn’t fear Will. In fact, he had the courage to speak to Will and to break his heart. Maguire got a glimpse into Will Hunting by peeling back layers. Will is reluctant to take on new challenges and try out new activities. Maguire and Will bond because Maguire has shared their pasts. Maguire shares his personal experiences with Will that go beyond normal therapy. But Maguire knew that Will would not have been capable of surviving without the modifications. Maguire is Will’s closest dad figure. He is the one who challenges and questions him. Maguire was able to show Will how to be honest about a terrible experience and how to survive in a harsh world. Will was also restricted in his social interactions due to the abuse he suffered as a child. But, he still enjoys the best of his friends Chuckie Sullivan and his two best friends, Morgan. Although he didn’t have many friends, he was devoted to the people he grew up with. Chuckie is Will’s closest friend. Every morning, he takes Will to work. Chucky loves his best friend. Chuckie shows great support and respect for Will. For example, Chuckie sees Will get ready for a fight and goes to support him. Chuckie knows what it means to have someone to support you, especially when the person is homeless. It is easy to see that Chuck isn’t as brilliant as Will. Will always tries to conceal his genius. Chuckie is a great friend who understands Will need to leave their community, even if that meant moving from the area where they grew up. He knows that his talent will allow him to achieve amazing things.

Skylar was growing in her relationship with Will, although it did not go without difficulties. Both are very educated and well-informed about each other, especially in regards to the qualities, ambitions, and needs they desire in a romantic relationship.

Skylar and Will began to get along almost immediately the night they met. Chuckie tried hard to surprise Skylar by trying to be funny, but instead was bullied and mocked in Harvard. Will heard the argument and tried to defend Chuckie. However, the Harvard student eventually became embarrassed. Skylar and Will both expressed their disgust at Harvard’s rude man and their criticism of the school. Skylar and Will had a brief conversation before they went on their own. Both of them noticed similarities in their personalities and were immediately attracted to each others. While they were dining at a fast-food restaurant, they shared many personal details about each other. Skylar and Will were comfortable together, but Will tried to mask his true identity. Skylar doesn’t think he wants to suggest that he is vulnerable. Although he later admitted to his truth, he felt very guilty and vulnerable. He couldn’t cope with the overwhelming emotions he was feeling. Will couldn’t understand Skylars attempts to make him feel better. He was afraid of her. Skylar was able, despite his attempts to keep her away from him, to provide Will with many experiences to show that he is worthy and not unlovable.

Will is able to accept his intelligence and decides he wants to follow Skylar. He chose to leave in the night, as he didn’t want to grieve his loved ones. Will experienced a new level of confidence after his last encounter with Migure. He was able to let go of his shell, and pursue the passions he had. Will had to let go of his past, but everyone knew he would be fine.
