Good Will Hunting (DVD, 1998, Collectors Series) Robin Williams, Matt Damon

Description: Good Will Hunting (DVD, 1998, Collectors Series). A true motion picture phenomenon, this triumphant story was nominated for 9 Academy Awards(R) -- winning Oscars for Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor) and hot newcomers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (Best Original Screenplay). The most brilliant mind at America's top university isn't a student ... he's the kid who cleans the floors! Will Hunting (Damon) is a headstrong, working-class genius who's failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will's last chance is a psychology professor (Williams), who might be the only man who can reach him! With acclaimed performances from Academy Award(R)-nominee Minnie Driver (GROSSE POINTE BLANK) and Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) -- you'll find GOOD WILL HUNTING a powerful and unforgettable movie experience!Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nabbed one for Best Original Screenplay, but the feel-good hit Good Will Hunting triumphs because of its gifted director, Gus Van Sant. The unconventional director (My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy) saves a script marred by vanity and clunky character development by yanking soulful, touching performances out of his entire cast (amazingly, even one by Williams that's relatively schtick-free). Van Sant pulls off the equivalent of what George Cukor accomplished for women's melodrama in the '30s and '40s: He's crafted an intelligent, unabashedly emotional male weepie about men trying to find inner-wisdom.Matt Damon stars as Will Hunting, a closet math genius who ignores his gift in favor of nightly boozing and fighting with South Boston buddies (co-writer Ben Affleck among them). While working as a university janitor, he solves an impossible calculus problem scribbled on a hallway blackboard and reluctantly becomes the prodigy of an arrogant MIT professor (Stellan Skarsgård). Damon only avoids prison by agreeing to see psychiatrists, all of whom he mocks or psychologically destroys until he meets his match in the professor's former childhood friend, played by Williams. Both doctor and patient are haunted by the past, and as mutual respect develops, the healing process begins. The film's beauty lies not with grand climaxes, but with small, quiet moments. Scenes such as Affleck's clumsy pep talk to Damon while they drink beer after work, or any number of therapy session between Williams and Damon offer poignant looks at the awkward ways men show affection and feeling for one another. --Dave McCoyProduct detailsAspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 1.85:1MPAA rating ‏ : ‎ R (Restricted)Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 7.5 x 5.38 x 0.6 inches; 4 OuncesDirector ‏ : ‎ Gus Van SantMedia Format ‏ : ‎ Multiple Formats, AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Special Edition, Widescreen, NTSC, LetterboxedRun time ‏ : ‎ 2 hours and 6 minutesRelease date ‏ : ‎ December 8, 1998Actors ‏ : ‎ Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Stellan Skarsgrd, Minnie DriverLanguage ‏ : ‎ English (Dolby Digital 5.1), UnqualifiedStudio ‏ : ‎ MiramaxASIN ‏ : ‎ 6305216088Writers ‏ : ‎ Ben Affleck, Matt DamonNumber of discs ‏ : ‎ 1 All Movies are authentic releases and may have some wear on outer plastic case due to genuine age of product.
