I just noticed how Sean claims Chucky is not someone who challenges Will, yet at the end of the movie it is Chucky's brutal honesty that convinces Will to pursue true happiness.
@NoahCameronGoldstein

Ya that is a very good point that you bring up. But Sean didn't know Chucky so he didn't know who he was as a person deep down inside. And I have to say, it took a lot of guts for Chucky to tell Will that he himself would never really amount to anything but that if Will applied himself, he (Will) could do great things. And I like the ending in how Will not only is convinced to pursue true happiness, but also the fact that in pursuing true happiness by means of reuniting with Skylar, he also comes to terms with the fact that the only person who was really holding him back was himself.

Blake Bradford What he means by "challenge" is for someone to see past his bullshit and force him to open up. Not because he has to (ie. therapy), but because he genuinely wants to. Chucky has accepted Will for who he is his whole life. He's always had his back, no matter the situation. Will knows that he will still be his best friend, no matter what. Thus, Chucky is safe. Skylar, on the other hand, forces Will to confront his feelings and insecurities. He's scared to admit he loves her, because it would require him to be dependent on her returning his love. He's terrified of being rejected by someone he loves. But deep down inside, he knows he loves her. That's why he tries to walk away. To escape before he has the chance to be hurt. Yes, Chucky stood up to him, but he did so knowing Will wouldn't run away. Because Chucky is the one constant who has always been there. There's no risk like there is with Skylar.

2:34 The minute Sean gets tired of Will’s sarcasm and games and decides to throw him out, Will’s repressed fear of being abandoned kicks in and he starts to fight back. His defense mechanism of insulting people and trying to seem powerful and smart activates, but Sean already sees Will’s central problem of being afraid and in denial. Sean completely undermines that defense mechanism with just one simple question. This is what a good therapist or good friend is able to do. They don’t take anything that you’re saying in anger seriously or personally. They just call you out on your bullshit. They pay attention and read between the lines of what your saying to get to the deeper truth and push that up to the surface. They don’t get angry or offended, they just get very blunt to help you realize your real problem so you can grow.

@saganist Hard work can only get people so far. In theory, yes, anyone can be anything they want... so long as they're not handicapped in some way. The REAL reality of life is that there's always someone better than you, either in one thing or many, and if you and this person get to chasing after the same thing, guess who wins? Sometimes it's not even about what you know, it's who you know. Personally, I've grown to hate that saying. "You can be anything you want". I used to believe that until my own experiences taught me that I'm naturally just a slow learner, and I have absolute shit memory retention which makes learning that much harder. You can push yourself as hard as you want in a direction but you always have to accept that no matter how hard you push, EVERYONE has their limits. I mean this movie paints that loud and clear. All these other guys around Will just don't have that "it" factor, which is why they've accepted where they are. Meanwhile, people who're like Will, who have that something, and just do absolutely nothing with that natural talent... it really is a waste. I know parents like to think "you can do better" to their kids all the time, but it's completely naive to state something like that as if it was a fact when they themselves don't know what their kids are fully capable of, and it can set them up for extreme depression when life gives them a reality check.

The beautiful thing about this scene is that, at least in the short term, Shawn becomes his soul mate. He becomes the person who challenges him. Will surrounded himself with people who couldn't challenge him because he was too afraid to allow anyone to access that part of himself but Shawn did. He showed Will that even though you're nearly always the smartest person in the room there are things intelligence can't teach you and that sometimes intelligence becomes a substitute for fear. That's why Shawn was able to get inside eventually. Because even though Will had a hard life and he was afraid to really trust anyone his intelligence wouldn't let him be ignorant to the fact that Shawn was right. Will couldn't combat Shawn with raw intelligence or stuff he learned in books. And he wasn't used to that. IN the end he had no option but to let Shawn in because he couldn't get rid of him. Shawn never "abandoned" him no matter how much Will tried to make him.

“What do you wanna do?” This can apply to everyone no matter how young or how old you are. There’s a lot of people working their 9-5 making an honest living and providing for their families yet still not sure what they want to do that brings them happiness, fulfillment, or a sense of accomplishment. Like Will implied, nothing wrong with working a 9-5 but many of us just do it because we need to and we end up doing something that is not quite what we’re passionate about. But then again, it’s just a job.

For most of us, our passion could be a hobby or playing a sport or doing something that we'll never be paid for. Something that we're willing to do without making money. Nowadays, people try to get multiple income sources rather than just one main source of income or job. KZitem for example, has many people making videos and they're making money. Either cooking, teaching, singing, storytelling, entertaining etc. The internet has actually given people the chance to fulfill or discover what they want to do.

My passion was to think for myself and not be affiliated with an institution. I remember when I was six years old and met a nice gas station attendant in cottage country. I later had a fantasy of being a pleasant worker like him by day, and a researcher by night. I took low-level jobs as necessary and had time for the research. I strongly identified with the janitor scene and thought it was great that Will enlightened that strait-laced professor. i loved the comparative freedom that Will had. Thanks.

It doesn't matter if he decides to become some great scientist or whatever. What is important is that Will is honest with himself and takes the chance to find something he enjoys. And there is no way Will would be content being a shepherd.

3:05 "Hey, at least I played a hand". When the late, great Robin Williams says that through his character of "Sean", what instantly comes to mind is anyone stepping out of his or her (or their) comfort zone to try something new and challenging, even as they consider the risks and rewards involved. Just never afraid to challenge themselves to be something different or do something different...and then look back with no regrets.

His line about not taking the first step really hit me hard. I want to perform for people and entertain them with all of the raw emotion I have built up, but I'm terrified of success. What if, what if, what if. It's my fear of the what-ifs that prevents me from living my life.

@@akshaynatu1084 you probably kid, but it is a legitimate crutch. Ulysses S. Grant and Winston Churchill were notorious drunks but led their countries through great achievements and victories. Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest American novelist in his time but was just as well known as being a lush. It's a dangerous and slippery slope to rely solely on it, to be addicted and consumed by the crutch, but there's a reason people refer to it as 'liquid courage.'

"You got a bullshit answer for everybody, but I ask you a very simple question and you can't give me a straight answer." I love how Will starts insulting him the moment he opens the door because he is afraid to be abandoned again and pulls up the facade, but Sean doesn't feel offended nor angry because he knows he doesn't mean what he's saying and he simply brings down his whole fake persona with ONE question.

This scene is so true,,; has so much substance: Like I always say: Unless you have been through it; You have no idea what it is like to go through it. You don't learn wisdom; from a textbook. I think Robin Williams was as great of as serious actor; as he was a comedic actor. I think I could have totally understood him. The funniest people; are usually the ones who have truly known pain.

That's true: I have always felt close to suffering people. My best friend suffers; I suffer. We share the best days and the worst memories, and that's beautiful. I made people laugh, but I rarely smile or laugh. It's the tragedy of helping other people: you can relieve their pain, because you felt that pain (or you still feel it). Pain is the true master of our lives.

RIP Robin Williams. He never seemed like the kind of actor who would drop the f bomb and Good Will Hunting is actually the only movie I heard him say it in. He definitely never said the f word in Mrs Doubtfire,Jumanji,Jack and definitely not Hook. Can't say whether or not he said it in the Birdcage because I only saw parts of that and never fully from beginning to end. I have a gut feeling Good Will Hunting was the only movie where the f word was used by Williams.

Saying "I don't know" is actually the most humbling and daresay, the smartest thing, a person can say. Wisdom comes with knowing how much you really don't know about a lot of things which is why you continue to search instead of just settling in with the idea that you already know everything. I think there's a quote that goes: "The more you know, the more you know you don't know." I could be misquoting that lol

So, it might be that the idea of answering "I don't know" really did not cross his mind...

The part at the end where Sean genuinely gets upset from Will still playing the defensive. He has gotten close to him at this point and it hurts him to say “get out” similar to when dad and son argue. Also I think he feels genuinely hurt that Will still has barriers and easy answers at this point too, but an important point that we can’t always piss about and sometimes the serious needs to be addressed.
