Synopsis
Set in working-class South Boston, a psychological drama about a 20-year-old lad who works as a janitor at MIT and spends most of his time with his coarse friends at the neighborhood bar. Blessed with a certain genius, Will, who has never attended college, can summon obscure historical references based on his exceptional photographic memory. He can also solve difficult mathematical problems with an ease that makes MIT's richer more educated students envious of him. When big shot professor Lambeau presents a math challenge to his students, with a fine reward to match, Will anonymously solves the formula on a blackboard placed in the school's corridor. Lambeau begins a search for the mysterious student, and upon finding Will takes him under his wing. It's the only way for Will to get parole after a number of run-ins with the law. Lambeau makes two conditions: that Will meet with him once a week for math session and that he begin therapy.

George Plimpton, 1927-2003
George Plimpton, the wry, self-effacing author whose engaging film appearances enlivened many movies over the years, died of a heart attack on September 25 in his Manhattan apartment. He was 76. George Ames Plimpton was born on March 18, 1927 in New York City. The son of a diplomat, he was well connected to high society. A scholarly man of the letters, hip, urbane bohemians knew him for decades as the unpaid editor to the much respected literary quarterly, The Paris Review, which introduced emerging authors such as Gore Vidal and Jack Kerouac. In 1963, the gaunt, unassuming Plimpton documented his time training with the Detroit Lions, and turned the antics into a shrewd, witty piece of sports fulfillment, Paper Lion. The film was adapted for the big screen by Alex March in 1968 with Alan Alda playing the role of Plimpton. That same year, he made his film debut as a reporter in Gordon Douglas' police thriller The Detective (1968) starring Frank Sinatra and followed that up with an amusing cameo as a gunman shot my John Wayne in Howard Hawks' Rio Lobo (1970). A few more cameos came up over the years, but it wasn't until the '90s that he proved he himself a capable performer and found regular film work: an appropriate role as a talk show moderator in Jodie Foster's Little Man Tate's (1991), the president's lawyer in Oliver Stone's Nixon (1995); a psychologist in Gus Van Zandt's Good Will Hunting (1997); a clubgoer in Whit Stillman's discursive drama The Last Day's of Disco (1998); and a very comical doctor in Jean- Marie Poire's Just Visiting</I&! gt; (2001). His acceptance as a pop culture icon came to a full head when he appeared in an episode of The Simpsons playing a professor who runs a fixed spelling bee! He is survived by his wife Sara Whitehead Dudley and four children. Michael T. Toole

Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting (1997) was written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, childhood friends who had grown up together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After college, they moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. In 1994, Affleck and Damon got tired of waiting for their big break and decided to write their own film, based on a short story Damon created in a creative writing class in college. Good Will Hunting was passed to Damon's agent, who sent it around town. Like something out of a Hollywood movie, it created a bidding war almost immediately between studios and was eventually purchased by Castle Rock. As often happens, the script changed hands again until it reached director Kevin Smith, who sold it to Miramax.
According to author Michio Kaku, "Good Will Hunting is loosely based on the life of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the greatest mathematical genius of the twentieth century, a man who grew up in poverty and isolation near Madras, India, at the turn of the last century. Living in isolation, he had to derive much of nineteenth-century European mathematics on his own. His career was like a supernova, briefly lighting up the heavens with his mathematical brilliance. [...] Like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, he dreamed of mathematical equations." Damon has spoken about his and Affleck's own real-life experiences living near Harvard and MIT, and of their resentment toward the out-of-town college students who invaded the city each year. Damon himself went to Harvard, where Affleck's father was the janitor.
Kevin Smith preferred to direct films that he had written himself, and so the assignment was offered to Gus Van Sant, who called Good Will Hunting, "probably the best written screenplay I had ever read. We called it a color-by-numbers script: if you just filled in the scenes as they were written, it would come to life." After reading the script, Van Sant immediately called Affleck and Damon and agreed to take the project on, "because you just don't find that a lot all in one screenplay."
Good Will Hunting was shot on location at the University of Toronto (doubling for Harvard and MIT) and around Boston. The film was edited by Pietro Scalia who found that judicial editing helped strengthen Robin Williams' performance, admitting that he "tended to go for the early takes from Robin Williams where he was low-key. As the takes progressed he became more artificial, more exaggerated. When Robin Williams saw the film, he was shocked because it seemed far from the performance he thought he had delivered!" That performance earned Williams an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Released in the United States on January 9, 1998, Good Will Hunting was nominated for seven Oscars® - Best Picture, Best Actor (Matt Damon), Best Supporting Actress (Minnie Driver), Best Director (Gus Van Sant), Best Song (Miss Misery by Elliott Smith), Original Music Score (Danny Elfman), Film Editing (Pietro Scalia). It won two awards - Best Supporting Actor for Robin Williams and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) for Affleck and Damon.

Good Will Hunting
South Boston native Will Hunting (Matt Damon) works as a janitor at MIT despite being a genius. To avoid jail time for assaulting a childhood bully, he is ordered to study advanced mathematics, for which he has an astonishing aptitude, and visit a therapist, played by Robin Williams. This therapy makes Will reevaluate his life and his relationships with his girlfriend (Minnie Driver) and best friend (Ben Affleck).
Good Will Hunting (1997) was written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, childhood friends who had grown up together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After college, they moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. In 1994, Affleck and Damon got tired of waiting for their big break and decided to write their own film, based on a short story Damon created in a creative writing class in college.
