The movie progresses around Will Hunting (Matt Damon), M.I.T janitor who has. Will is concerned with doing what it takes to get by-his activities have no inherent purpose. The film co-starred Affleck’s younger brother Casey ( Good Will Hunting, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Manchester by the Sea), along with Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris, Michelle Monaghan and Amy Ryan, who earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance. Good Will Hunting is a movie released in 1997 directed by Gus Van Sant. He is the main character his problems occur in the physics domain.

He made his directorial debut to positive reviews with 2007’s Gone Baby Gone, a drama about the investigation of a Boston-based child kidnapping that Affleck adapted from a Dennis Lehane novel of the same name. After Good Will Hunting, Affleck co-starred in such Hollywood blockbusters as Armageddon (1998), with Bruce Willis, and Pearl Harbor (2001), with Josh Hartnett, Jon Voight and Alec Baldwin. The best male role model in the film is Sean McGuire, the therapist who fills the gaps in Wills parenting by telling Will of his own experiences. His early film credits include writer-director Richard Linklater’s 1993 cult comedy Dazed and Confused (which also featured the then relatively unknown Matthew McConaughey) and writer-director Kevin Smith’s slacker comedies Mallrats (1995) and Chasing Amy (1997). Good Will Hunting shows that even a tough kid from a working-class neighborhood has emotions and that he can fulfill his destiny only if he gets in touch with those emotions. Born on August 15, 1972, in Berkeley, California, Benjamin Geza Affleck-Boldt was raised in the Boston area, where he became involved with acting as a child.
