On this day, he went to the bar with his good friend Chuck, but he had to go back early.
It turned out that when Will was working during the day, he saw a math problem on the blackboard, and he wanted to go home and solve it.
The next day, he quietly wrote the answer next to the question and went to play squash with Chuck.
What he didn't know was that his actions caused an uproar and changed his fate.
It turns out that the Fourier formula is an assignment left by the professor for students at school.
The people who solved this formula before were all famous mathematicians and spent a long time.
Now someone has solved this problem in just one night. The professor wanted to know who the math genius was, but after asking around, no one admitted it.
The professor had no choice but to send another post. He wrote another more difficult problem on the blackboard, which he and his colleagues spent two years solving. He hopes that the "silent genius" will appear again.
Sure enough, Will solved the problem again, but the professor found out and interrupted him when he was solving the problem, so he had to run away in a hurry.
Will and Chuck go to the bar next to Harvard for a drink. Chuck took a fancy to a girl and went to strike up a conversation.
Chuck pretended to be a Harvard student, trying to find something to talk about, and was caught by the girl's friend.
The boy asked Chuck a tough academic question, trying to embarrass him.
Seeing that his friend was teased, Will stepped forward to take the boy's words and talked with Kan Kan, pointing out that he was talking about the content of a book, not his real understanding.
Knowing that he was not as good as Will, the boy left despondently.
Will saved his best friend and caught the attention of skyler, the girl Chuck had accosted before.
Skyland left Will his phone number before leaving the bar, hoping to meet again in the future.
The professor has been trying to find Will. When he saw Will dressed as a janitor, he went to the logistics office to inquire and successfully obtained Will's contact information.
It was in court that the professor saw Will again.
In court, Will was accused of beating others, but he did not repent. Instead, he talked about it in Kan Kan and defended himself with the law.
Judging from the judge's statement, it is not the first time that Will has been in prison. He has been in prison many times for fighting and stealing before.
He was an orphan since he was a child and moved out of foster homes many times because of abuse.
Previously, because of his tragic life experience, most judges gave a lighter sentence.
This time, the judge decided to let him learn his lesson and never forgive him easily.
Professor Lambert found Will and told him that he could be released on bail on two conditions.
First, Will meets him every week to study math.
Second, Will needs to see a psychiatrist.
The first condition is not a problem for Will. He refused to see a psychiatrist, but he gave in and wanted to escape from prison.
There is no doubt that Will is a rare mathematical genius. He and Professor Lambert are good at math.
But seeing a psychiatrist is a headache.
Will was naughty and left several psychiatrists in succession. Seeing this, Professor Lambert had to ask his college roommate, Dr. Shane, a famous psychology professor, for help.
Dr. Shane and Will's first treatment was not pleasant.
Will analyzed that his and his wife's life was not happy through a painting by Dr. Shane, and unscrupulously guessed the reasons.
Dr. Shane was tolerant at first, but he was very angry after hearing his increasingly rude words and warned him not to do it again.
After the treatment, Professor Rambo saw that the atmosphere was not pleasant. He took the initiative to tell Dr. Shane that he didn't need to continue the treatment.
But Dr. Shane refused his kind advice.
In the second treatment, Dr. Shane chose to talk calmly with Will outside.
Dr. Shane said that he was angry with Will's words, but after thinking about it, he calmed down again.
He thinks Will is still an immature child.
Perhaps he has read a lot of books and mastered a wealth of knowledge, but he has never experienced it personally, never really loved a person, and naturally he cannot understand the feeling of loving his wife.
The doctor also briefly analyzed Will's psychology, saying that he was conceited and timid, but at the same time promised not to simply analyze him with the knowledge in the book.
However, in the third treatment, Will remained silent all the time, and the doctor didn't say a word.
Fourth time, the same thing.
By the fifth time, Will couldn't help it. He told a joke and broke the deadlock.
Then he said something about himself.
Will recently dated Skyland and was very happy, but he didn't contact her again because he "wanted to keep the existing perfection."
The doctor disagreed with him.
He told a little story about his wife's love of farting before her death, but the doctor didn't think such an imperfect wife was bad. On the contrary, he still loves her.
After talking to the doctor, Will went to ask Skyland out on a date.
Skyland asked Will about his family, and Will said that he had twelve brothers.
Skyland was surprised and said he wanted to meet his family.
Will agreed and said he would take her to his house if there was an opportunity.
Professor Lambert went to see Dr. Shane and asked about Will's recent treatment.
Dr. Shane said that he has been getting better little by little recently, much better than before.
Professor Lambert and Shane have great differences on how Will should develop.
Professor Lambert thinks Will is a rare mathematical wizard. He should not be buried if he has talent, but should make contributions to mathematics and even society.
Dr. Shane thinks that Lambert is manipulating other people's lives, so he should listen to Will's own ideas and let him explore for himself.
The two men can't go on talking because they don't agree. Professor Lambert left the restaurant angrily.
Skillan once again offered to visit his hometown with Will, but Will refused.
Skyland thought that Will didn't take her home because he didn't love her enough. They had a big fight.
Will left Skyland after saying a lot of things that hurt her.
Will didn't want to stay in the lab to do math any more, so he went back to his old life and went to the construction site to move bricks with his good friend Chuck.
Chuck asked Will why he didn't accept the job recommended by Professor Lambert. Will said he didn't want to be a lab mouse.
Chuck was very angry when he heard what he said. He told Will that he had a talent that others didn't have, just like having a million-dollar lottery ticket, but he was too timid to cash it, which would insult those who dreamed of becoming Will.
Chuck's greatest wish is that Will can walk out of his inferiority complex and move towards a broader life.
Will came to talk to Dr. Shane, and this time he told the doctor about his miserable childhood.
He was abused by his stepfather since he was a child, and then abandoned by foster families several times, which made him sensitive and inferior.
He dare not face his life and love because he is afraid of failure and abandonment.
The doctor told him that the person who did something wrong was the one who abused him and abandoned him, and he did nothing wrong.
After hearing the doctor's words, Will couldn't help crying. This is the first time someone told him that everything he was afraid of was not his fault, which also made him feel relieved.
Will decided to accept the job recommended to him by the professor before, and he told the news to Dr. Shane.
The doctor was very happy for him and informed Will that this was their last treatment.
Will was surprised and sad when he heard it. He expressed the hope to keep in touch with the doctor.
The doctor left him contact information and told him to do whatever he wanted in the future.
The doctor intends to take a break and travel around the world to write. Before he left, he received a letter from Will.
In the letter, Will said that he was going to find a girl.
As soon as the picture changes, Will is already on his way to see skyler.
Good Will Hunting tells the story of a talented boy, Will, who gradually opens himself up and embraces the world with the help of people around him.
This is that Will was cured by the warmth of life, and he also learned to reconcile with life.
At first, he lived like a hedgehog because of his childhood sufferings. He always disguises himself with the sharpest shell, stabbing people around him.
Unfortunately, he was abandoned since he was a child and was abused by foster families many times.
So he closed himself up, preferring to deal with books rather than make new friends.
But fortunately, he met someone who really helped him, supported his friends and loved his lover.
These people, like lights, turned Will's world from a cold polar region into a warm oasis.
Just like another translation of this movie: the sun is like me.
Besides Will's self-redemption, another huge conflict in the film is the views of Professor Rambo and Dr Shane on Will.
Professor Rambo is very kind to Will. He valued and cherished Will's talent, but it was only talent.
He cherishes Will's talent and hopes that Will will realize social value with his own talent.
Dr. Shane wants Will to live the life he wants, without thinking about fame and fortune.
This is very similar to two kinds of people in our lives.
Professor Rambo is like a boss at work, cold and serious, occupying our work, but not caring about our lives.
Dr. Shane is more like family and friends. He doesn't want us to be famous, he just wants us to be happy.
At the end of the movie, although Will accepted the recommendation of Professor Rambo and went to a big company for an interview, he got cold feet and went to California to find his lover skyler.
We are always groping in the society, covered in scars, but we have to go back to our lover to feel the warmth.
Happiness is not as good as right or wrong.
What Professor Shane said to Will in the film was impressive.
"You're just a child, you don't know what you're talking about.
So when I ask you questions about art, you may put forward shallow arguments in art books.
You know a lot about Michelangelo. He is full of political enthusiasm, and he is addicted to sex.
But you don't even know the smell of the Sistine Chapel. You didn't try to stand there and look up at the famous paintings on the ceiling.
If I ask about women, you can tell me everything.
You may have slept several times, but when you wake up next to a woman, you can't express real joy.
When I ask you what love is, you may only say the moon.
But you haven't tried to put yourself into your heart and understand each other's heart when trading with your eyes open.
It's like God arranged for angels to come down to earth just for you to save you from the abyss of hell.
But you haven't tried to care for her in every way, you haven't tried to be single-minded, you haven't tried to lose the person you love ... "
Born to be human, we didn't know what love was at first.
Explore slowly, learn slowly, and learn how to love someone.
Say "dad" when babbling;
A hug when you just left;
The first card I made for my family at school;
A shoulder when others are sad. ...
No book can teach us how to love a person, only by personal experience can we learn.
