Good+Will+Hunting

Class Notes 10/11 (recorded by Molly Tillis):


 * Mr. Donnelly thinks this is a good movie, not great, but good. **


 * ** kind of like a desert movie, like Shawshank  **
 * ** the questions for this movie are different because they’re about you and not about the movie  **
 * ** Will makes the right decision in going after Skylar in the end  **
 * He likes discussing the question of which is harder...to love or be loved? **


 * ** there was about a 50/50 split in the vote  **
 * ** Will says it’s harder to be loved because people find out how you really are  **


 * Ambiguity **


 * ** theres this one composer who wrote a piece called 433 that is 4:33 of silence  **
 * ** it is hard to argue what is good  **
 * ** things that have lasted for a long time are good (the Odyssey)  **
 * ** theres not alot to debate about this movie  **
 * The word of the day is Stache **


 * ** the book in the movie that Will makes reference to is the People’s History of the United States  **
 * Don’t ever say “I’ll be a success in life, and you’ll be a failure.” **
