Williams' monologue at the lake is simply perfection. It's stern, vulnerable, forgiving, and beautiful. Man, I miss Williams. RIP.

"Men, be honest: did you shed a tear" - yes ma'am, I have no shame in admitting that I cried quite profusely when I first watched it, and even after all these years, it still brings a tear to my eye. Great reaction to a great movie, ladies!

The "It's not your fault" scene breaks me down every single time. This movie is a true inspiration. Your reaction was raw and awesome.

16:37 I remember hearing that "wife fart story" wasn't in the scripted and improvised by Robin Williams, that's why Matt Damon was laughing so hard and if you listen closely the sound picks up the camera man laughing too 😄

The scene where Affleck's character tells Will that the best day for him, would be one where he would wake up to the reality of hos friend having left... Gets me every single time. The slight bitterness about not having such a gift, but the immense brotherly love for Will. That is acceptance. Peace of mind, in a nuttshell.

For Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg had purposely cast Matt Damon as Ryan because he was virtually unknown and had All-American handsomeness. However, this movie came out a couple of months before and made Damon a star.

Long, long story, but Good Will Hunting changed my life, and not just in a "I saw it and was inspired" kind of way. And Robin Williams was why I became an actor. I met him in 2011. He was adorable. When he passed, I spent 3 days in bed crying.

I'm a 56 year old man who has seen more than any ones fair share of shit, I cry every time I see this movie or just a reaction to it. If you are not moved by this movie you have to be dead inside. Robin Williams is and will always be missed by we who were fortunate enough to see him perform. His all improve stand up was as amazing as his acting. You should watch some of his stand up if you have not already.

Fun Fact: The farting wife story was completely improvised. Matt Damon laughed his ass off. Also, Ben Affleck's speech at the end is such a great scene. So different from the usual speeches. A real friend would rather see his friend succeed if it means never seeing them again.

As a strong man I of course blubbed when I saw this in 1997. The biggest reaction I've ever seen by men in the cinema was to The Green Mile. Nearly every man in the theatre was seriously crying during this film.

Kudos to you ladies for this watch reaction 👍🏻 Good Will Hunting is a timeless masterpiece that strikes a chord with its powerful storytelling and brilliant performances from Matt Damon and Robin Williams. It’s a real tear 😢 jerker of a movie 🎥

A beautiful movie with so many life lessons

I'm 56 and have watched this film start to finish at least five times and have watched reactors respond to it at least a half-dozen times. Never fails to make me tear up at several points. It's just so good. RIP Robin Williams you rocked this.

This movie still messes me up. As I mentioned during Monday’s livestream, this movie inspired me to become a therapist. I loved both your honest reactions. I was right there with u both!!! Love and hugs to u both! 😊🤗

This was your best reaction. Being vulnerable is being real, and being real is what people are attracted to.

The worst part is you see Hollywood won't make a movie like this anymore. Doesn't bring enough draw for the time. Writing is almost dead and so are good movies

Michelle and Natalie I loved your reactions to such a good, thoughtful movie. Major props to your honest and sincere reaction to a story of a person struggling to find himself and the friends, mentors that help him along the way plus the love and caring of a good woman. Vincit qui se vincit. He conquers who conquers himself! A lot of moments that mattered.

Saw it in a theater back in 97 as I was just getting into film. As a teenager, I wasn't mature enough to fully appreciate the movie (and its themes) but I thought it was great. It wasn't till I watched it later in life that it hit different. Great Video, as always!

Probably one of the best screenplays ever written.

With the greatest of respect; it was good to see you both cry. Beautiful reaction ladies.

One of my faves. First saw it in the theater, but have watched it so many times and shed tears every time. I’m a softy, what can I say.

One of the best films ever made.

For this film both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won an Oscar for best original screenplay and Robin Williams won for best supporting actor. Thank you ladies great reaction.

They don't make enough movies like this in Hollywood. I think I felt every emotion there is in this one. ❤ Good job ladies

"Do you like Apples? Michelle and Natalie loved this movie. How about them Apples!" Y'all about got my with the tears 🥲. It's a great movie and I remember feeling the emotional moments the first time I watched this movie. 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉 Take care ladies.

I too never saw this movie when it came out despite everyone I knew raving about it. I think my favorite scene is the park bench scene. Robin Williams owns every scene he is in. He truly was a great, versatile actor. If you want to see him like you have never seen him before, I recommend the movies "Insomnia" and "One Hour Photo". If you want to see an great underrated dark comedy with him and Edward Norton, watch "Death to Smoochy". Great video as always ladies.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the best editing of this movie ever!

Cool how in the beginning Robin Williams's character calls Will "Chief" or "sport" but at the end it's "son"

"You disrespect my Wife again i will END You... you got that Chief?" I frickin love this film, one of Robin Williams best performances for sure, Ben Affleck is that rare Best friend we all need more in our lives, true Best Friends always want the best for you even if it means you moving on from them in some way. I love that you Ladys have discovered this gem. Hey Nat! 😉

Ladies, I cry every time I watch this... even with you in the abbreviated version. It's with Shawshank Redemption for feel-good buddy movies where characters experience tremendous growth throughout the film. Thank you for reacting to this one. It is a special piece of art when one watch just isn't sufficient. 📽🎞💚

he redeems himself as an exceptional counselor as much as his friend is a great mathematician

Your gonna get charged is one of my favorite lines. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great reaction girls ❤ - thank you both!

Thank you so much, #ForceOfLightEntertainment, for the awesome movie reaction. I'm still supporting you because your content is so amazing, and also because I enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.

You two are sweet, everyone cries at this movie.

RIP, Robin Williams, we love you, we miss you.

Great movie. Glad you liked it. Robin Williams did a great job. I'm not a big _love story_ fan, but this one felt real and honest, not cheesy or unrealistic like most of the others do.

😭😭😭 Thank you for this reaction, ladies.

Lovely reaction. Enjoyed your intelligent and empathetic response to this incredible script. I’ll watch more of yours, many thanks.

oh yeah, this movie makes me cry every time i've seen it. it's one of my favorite movies.

You've both narrowed down what makes this movie so special. You're both so awesome!

Y' all are both beautiful. This was an excellent, authentic reaction. Thank you.

Following because I randomly caught this reaction.

I just love this movie. Made me tear up again watching you lovely ladies. I love watching both your reactions

"Do you like apples?" "Yeah." "Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?" Fun Fact: Gus Van Sant painted the picture that hangs in Sean Maguire's (Robin Williams') office. Five Year Dream Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen. What Script Fact: The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. Robin Williams' last line in the film "Son of a bitch. He stole my line" was also ad-libbed. MIT Connection Fact: Matt Damon, a former Harvard student, originally intended to make the title character a physics prodigy. He discussed his idea with Sheldon L. Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics and, at the time, a Harvard professor. Glashow told him that the premise did not ring true to him: he suggested that the main character be a math prodigy instead. He referred Damon to his brother-in-law, Daniel Kleitman, a professor of mathematics at MIT, who provided advice on the story. Both Glashow and Kleitman are thanked in the credits.

Warrior with Tom Hardy is another tear jerker well worth a watch. Gets most men I’ve known teary and my wife, who is training to be a counsellor, “ugly cried” for fifteen minutes after.

I said before and I’ll say it again, it behooves one to watch this movie every year to remind us of life’s important lessons. Yes, I cry as a 69 yr. old man but I’ve always been emotional due to Cerebral Palsy. Although my disability is ever so slight, it’s enough to notice a difference in my motor skills.

Thank you ladies for a genuine and heartfelt review.

If you watch when Will is hugging Sean and crying, you'll see that Sean's eyes are smiling and joyful. He knows what a breakthrough that was. Notice throughout their last couple of encounters that he calls him, "Son". He doesn't mind being a surrogate and a mentor, and he'll be happy to stay in contact with Will. It was a breakthrough and Will is a genius but he certainly doesn't have all the answers. It will be invaluable to have someone he knows he can trust to help guide him. 'We all could use someone like that.

The Fisher King, Dead Poet's Society, Awakenings, and Good Will Hunting... all must-see Robin Williams films (IMHO). Good reaction, ladies :)

During Sean's speech on couple intimacy, it's amazing to feel how he takes us from laughter to deep emotion. I love this film and I've seen a lot of reactions about it. This is the film with the most authentic emotions I've ever seen, without using children, etc., how easy they are to bring us to tears.

It’s one of my favorites. I get teary eyed sometimes. Love it. Love the set it’s set up in, Boston.

Off the top of my head, I'd say The Green Mile is the biggest tear jerker movie for me. I saw it in the theaters and remember thinking this movie is almost over, I better pull myself together, but then I could hear others in the audience just balling uncontrollably and I felt relieved that I wouldn't be the only one walking out of the theater looking like I was having an allergic reaction to clams.

This is one of those rare movies...

Never watched a first time reaction where they didn't cry, just like you two ladies did and it binds us all together with our shared humanity...Williams and Damons characters needed each other and drew each other out from their past into a new life....and Williams 'Park' monolgue is one of the greatest, to think Damon and Affleck wrote this in their early 20's.....astounding...(I think the bench where Williams said those words is a shrine often visited)

Great reaction! You two are the cutest

It's one of my favourite movies, if not my favourite. I cry every time without fail.

You ladies are beautiful with big hearts. Instant subscribe here. I find the swearing hard but when you look past that it’s beautiful funny and emotional movie that brings me to tears every time. Matt did a fantastic job but the one that takes the prize for me is robin Williams for sure. Fantastic actor. You know if you don’t cry at this movie you must be hard hearted, broken inside or dead. ❤❤

One of my all-time favorite reactions to this movie. Beautiful.

This movie is one of Robin Williams best performances I have ever seen next to One Hour Photo. It’s really my favorite movie of all time. He definitely proved that he can be both a serious actor and a comedic actor at the same time.

I love seeing peoples first reaction to Good Will Hunting because this movie really hit me the first time I saw it, yes its impossible to sit through some of those scenes and not cry like a baby.

Great Movie and Reaction !! Thank You Ladies

As an action science fiction horror fan, I don't often cry ^^ But there are exactly two films where even I have to get out my handkerchief. Good will Hunting and Meet Joe Black

Great movie, Robin Williams was the best.

Amazing reaction, thank you

Fun fact: Both your souls are beautiful.

Love this movie: looking forward to this reaction 🍿

Well done ladies. Great movie. Excellent reaction video cause of your authenticity.

That was a fun reaction. And as always, y'all are looking great ladies.

Fantastic film. Truly.

As soon as I see your video thumbnail I drop everything and click on it!! “This is going to be GOOD!!”

I have watched this film so many times. It is just so good. Robiln Williams was a truly extraordinary actor.

ive watched most of the reaction videos to this film. this is the best! less commentary more listening and experiencing

Wonderful reaction. You're both true souls. :)

Exceptional movie and a Robin Williams gem!! Thank you for the reaction

I always crack up when "It´s not your fault" scene comes up so youre not alone whith this. Nothing to be sorry about. Good reaction girls. Keep on keepin on. 😇😎

I didn't cry, you did.

Just watched your review and remember it loved it, cried with you 😢

There's so many iconic lines from this film. It's one of the few "perfect' films.

One of the best movies!!!

Great react… appreciate the transparency. Keep’em coming!!

This is just...a beautiful film. One of those that everyone with a heartbeat needs to see at least once.

You're correct, great insight. Beauty and pain do go together. Everyone on this Earth goes through pain and suffering but the real beauty of people and life is how we come together and hold each other up, and deal with pain and suffering. I've seen this movie many times, and I still cry. Seeing Ben Affleck feel some happiness for his friend when he realizes he isn't there, even though he lost his friend and his heart is also probably dropping, is so beautiful. That was a great piece of acting, first he realizes it and it takes a few seconds to process it and you can see that little grin. I cried on that scene too just like you lol.

Masterpiece!

A really good Robin Williams film that you will love is Bicentennial man..great film..

The film “As Good as it Gets” won best actor and actress. But this movie beat it out for best supporting actor… Robin Williams! 😊

Omg i think i just fell in love with you two watching your reactions to the "its not your fault" scene. Precious. THATS what cinema should do.

This movie makes me cry every time, and I've probably seen it a dozen times. It's really inspiring to me.

Saw this with my girlfriend at an on-campus showing. Great reaction. Thank you.

You two are the neighbors I wish I had.

Y’all’s reaction to this is why ima follower. Love this movie and y’all’s perception

Ladies, I've seen this movie about 50 times and each time I cry like a baby. So yes, grown men do cry. ------- In fact i started crying from the monologue scene at the lake. ------ You ladies he'd up way longer than I did.

More than one, ladies.

16:39 - That was an improv by Williams, which explains Matt's laughter

Robin Williams improvised his last line.

Just watched your reaction and I just subscribed to the channel. I loved your reaction so much . Keep it up

great movie, I remember reading that the farting wife scene was improvised by Robin Williams, the laughter was real.

First time watching, and realized those were third year problems on the chalkboard. Took me a bit out of the movie. Recently, asked a history professor from the local uni if he thought the history lesson Will gave was too easy. He said no. So, not all watered down.

I was thinking bout this movie and I just realized that last scene with Robin Williams and Will was a metaphor for how Will was pushing those he loved away so he wouldn't get hurt. Will physically pushes Williams character away but he stands firm. He shows he won't abandon him even after he has built trust with Will. Then the breakthrough. I think masculine energy is more prone to be adept at showing the firm and strong, supportive but not smothering love. That brotherly/father type of thing. I guess Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are smarter than I thought as screenwriters. LOL I cried at the movie but I have overactive tear ducts and will cry at a Folger's commercial or yawning. It's so attractive to the ladies....😅
