Good Will Hunting | 'Perfect for Each Other' (HD) - Matt Damon, Robin Williams | MIRAMAX 

“Maybe you’re perfect right now, maybe you don’t wanna ruin that” The sentence that literally describes the way Will thinks.

"You ever think about getting remarried?" "My wife is dead." "Hence the word 'remarried'." "She's dead." That. That is how much I want to love someone someday.

Fact: Williams about his wife farting was unscripted and had the camera crew in stitches

This is something every young person who's feeling insecure, alone or has no hope of dating should see

Robin Williams was unbelievably good in this movie.

There is an old saying, "You are attracted to the perfection, but you love the imperfections." That old saying was never better described than this scene right here

Fun fact: if you pay attention you can see the camera is actually shaking. The guy behind it was laughing so hard at Robin's story he couldn't keep the camera still XD

This scene has it all. - super well written dialogue - an improvised scene with a genuine reaction - multiple callbacks/parallels ("super-philosophy"/ "Time's up.") great cinema. :)

Matt's "pig squeal" is real! Robin improvised the story in a way that only He could do.

"You're not perfect, sport. And let me save you the suspense, this girl you know? She isn't perfect either. Whether or not you're perfect for each other, that's the whole deal." Words to live by. RIP Robin Williams

Every word out of Robin Williams mouth In this scene is completely true. I've always loved this movie but even more so In the past 2 months. My Fiancé passed away on January 15th this year completely unexpectedly due to complications from her cancer. She had just had her tumor removed a few months prior and she really seemed to be doing good. All of a sudden she's really sick one day and just feeling like shit so we go to urgent care, they admit us to the hospital, and within 12 hours she was gone. The way Robins character describes the feelings he had for his wife are the exact same feelings I had for my Fiancé. If it weren't for that girl, I would not currently be here writing this. She came into my life a month before I was planning on taking my life after 10+ years of fighting and losing to depression/bipolar disorder. She breathed new life into me and showed just how much beauty there can be in this world. Made me feel things I didn't know a human being could ever feel. Pure, raw, unrelenting, unyielding love. We were both impossibly, madly, head over heels in love with one another and that love only grew with each passing day. She was my reason for living. Even on my worst days, I always knew that she would be at home waiting for me and that was more than enough to outweigh even my darkest, saddest, most hopeless feelings. Now that she's gone I'm impossibly lost and confused. I feel like someone who has been in an accident of some sort and has to learn to walk all over again. Our lives were so intertwined and we were together so often that just about everything I do throughout the day is now different as I am so used to doing it with her. Even the most simple things such as brushing my teeth constantly remind me of the countless nights she would be next to me laughing, joking, and playing around. You miss the little things sometimes more than anything else. Inside jokes, silly nicknames, things you would do/say to one another. You become so used to it that when it's suddenly stripped away from you all at once, it shakes you to your core. I know I'll never get over this and I wouldn't want to. The best I can hope for is that I am able to go on and lead a happy successful life to make her proud. I miss you more than words can explain. love you more than you'll ever know baby girl ❤️

I love how this relationship was a two way street. He was brought on to help the kid, and most movies this would be all about how the therapist helped save his life and taught him how to live. But it turned out, they needed each other. They challenged each other in a way that no one else could both emotionally and intellectually. Little scenes like this where you get the overwhelming feeling that Sean knows it all and has the perfect insight, only to have it instantly turned around on him to highlight his own issues. Brilliant.

That is so true man. No girl is perfect but the question is are you perfect for each other.

“Maybe you’re perfect right now, maybe you don’t wanna ruin that” what a line

"I teach the shit. I didn't say I know how to do it" LOL!!!

People need to realize. Robins character represents the missing father figure that gains his sons trust, respect then teaches his son who he is and how to be a man.

Their chemistry on screen together was amazing.

I just love how natural their performances feel, why can’t we get more movies like this?

“People call these things imperfections, but they’re not. Oh, that’s the good stuff.”

The transition between the story about his wife farting and then to her death is the difference between getting tickled by a feather compared to being hit by a train. Incredibly powerful.

Robin was excellent in this movie. Acting skills TOPS.

The funny part of this entire scene is how correct robin williams is. Those annoying little habits we see from people we love are often missed the most when someone is no longer in our life

If you can get the camera guy to laugh, you know you’ve mastered comedy. Robin was a genius

@3:11 that genuine smile Sean gives after Will turned his own line against him shows how much he appreciates this kid and his smarts.

This scene has it all. It's sad, sweet, hilarious and painful.

The closest explanation of love that will ever exist in our modern day.

It was Robin William's birthday the other day and I had to come here to pay my respects ❤

Shawn pauses before telling the story. He had to think about it before deciding to "let Will into his weird little world." By doing so he showed the faith in Will that no other adults ever had, and thus began to earn Will's trust in return.

Thats what made her my wife. Married my dream girl. Almost 20 years in. Know everything i could about her. Love her more than myself. Couldnt imagine braving that storm. She is my harbour

This is possibly my favorite scene in the whole movie. It's also known as "Idiosyncrasies," or "Intimacy," or "Imperfections." "Wonderful stuff, you know? The little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. ... People call these things imperfections but they're not. Oh, that's the good stuff. ... That's what intimacy is." Beautiful.

Robin Williams was by far the best part of Good Will Hunting. He deserved that Oscar. RIP

I met a girl, I let her into my weird little world, she let me into hers, it was the best thing in the world. She was the best she wasn't perfect but the fact that the imperfections exist made it better to me. I was so happy with her and thought she was the one. But my imperfections doesn't align with what she wanted so she left me. I wish I could've done better. I miss being our weird little world. And I really thought she was the one. But what Robin williams said is really what I need to hear today.

Lol...Even in dramas, robin couldn't help to be himself.

I still dunno why but every time I watch this clip, I tear up a little. It’s the most honest definition of love.

Funny thing is that robin improvised the farting bit

RIP and long live Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014), aged 63 You will always be remembered as a legend.

It’s something to see an highly intelligent experienced individual talking with an highly intelligent inexperienced individual.

Matt Damon going from laughing his arse off to freezing when he's reminded he's talking about his dead wife. That's some class acting right there.

This is literally the best psychology movie I’ve ever seen. To say “someone who challenges you,” is the best description of a soul mate ever. PERIOD. I understand psychology well, and this is as perfect a depiction of proper psychology I have ever seen.

Jesus, I’ve never seen this movie and this was one of the best scenes I’ve ever watched. No I have to watch this movie.

Just. WOW… And rest in peace, robin williams🌹..

As a child, this scene cemented to me what unconditional love in a marriage was. Death that ends only a life, not a relationship. Williams didn't "change his mind" or "realize he was wrong" When Will threw the superphilosophy line at him. Getting to know someone hardly needs to be through a romantic relationship. But he maybe did realize he was hurt and closed off, the same way Will was. Still, beautiful. We need more people who love that way. You can see in this scene that Will can barely grasp it.

Never realized how often the "times up" or "times not up" line comes up. They truly drove each other this entire movie.

The smile on Sean's face after Will uses the philosophy he just used says to me "Huh, this kid's smarter than he looks, I like that"

When he says "times up" is also saying, "hey, u got back to your defenses Will by roasting me cuz I won this round"

Robins presence in this scene just aches with nuance. The cadence of his voice when he speaks. His ability to be so in the moment and with it. It’s utterly spell binding. He was more than an actor in this film. And all of his work. He just got it.

I read somewhere that Robin Williams ad libbed most of this scene and Matt Damon's laughter was mostly spontaneous. Robin Williams was the greatest ever.

Every line uttered in this movie is so moving.

*So much genius in this movie that took me decades to decode.* *Will is a genius that can gain insane amount of knowledge in books. But the knowledge he is missing & needs in his life is not found in books, only a mentor with life experience can share with him, and that is what Sean (Robin Williams) role in this film is.*

Just rewatched this for our podcast and it was a great reminder of how well Robin Williams was able to pull a certain feeling out of you. He really was his own Patch Adams, making people feel better with laughter, but also someone you can be sympathetic towards depending on his role!

No matter how many times I watch this, I get goosebumps from head to tippy toe.

This scene is just so real. Their chemistry is just so absolute. I can think of a 3:30 scene that makes me both absolutely laugh and cry in such a systematic fashion. One of the greatest actors that will ever have lived for sure.

The ending is amazing, you just see Will trying to test the boundaries with the new shrink, he identifies as a father figure. Beautiful piece of writing

Everyone is disappointing when you get to know them. Remember that.

Hes so committed that he refuses to remarry that really shows how much dedication and love he had for her.

This scene speaks to me in deep, deep, deep level. Trying to be prefect in a relationship or expecting my wife to be perfect. One moment in time, this scene is going to change my future. Awesome, awesome, awesome movie.

In a thousand years, Robin Williams' performance in this film should still top the list of greatest acting performance of all time.

I miss Robin, I really do. It's so sad he's not with us anymore ☹️. The world is definitely a lesser place without him

I've spent some time in therapy. Really helped me. Robin Williams portrayal here is so spot on awesome. That look on his face when Will turns his words around on him. He realizes Will is truly paying attention and must accept the student has learned. WOW. This script is one of the greatest ever written.

This is what I like about the cinematography here... See how the over the shoulder shots just barely catch the head of the person in the foreground? I guess that's usually called a dirty OTS. Their heads only look like dark blotches in the frame, but it makes it intimate. It lets us focus on the subject. They use a long lens for this. Then when the professor finally makes his point they open it up and we see his whole body. He is comfortable and relaxed. You don't even have to be paying attention and you know something important happened. And throughout they keep crossing the line allowing the heads to obscure the frame as if you, as the audience, is trying to get a better angle when the dynamic is changing. They break all the rules and it's great. These are things they don't teach, but real professionals do this because they know what they're doing and you will NEVER see this in a superhero movie. Side note... see when Williams raises his hand to scratch his beard? They match it in the reverse cut. This could only have been done on purpose since, clearly, there is no camera hovering behind his head when we see him.

My goodness, this entire movie's dialog is thought provoking brilliance. I'm watching clips even though I've seen it a million times. Never gets old and always puts you back on track. Bought the DVD just so I felt liked I paid for what it offers.

Going from anecdotes about his wife to talking about her being dead is such a huge tonal shift. The film is full of them and they work perfectly.

The mistake that we all inevitably commit to the beginning of a knowledge is to idealize the other, to project our desires, our expectations, our needs onto him ... in reality we are approaching another "strange little world "of which we are hardly willing to grasp the essence ... and when that imperfection, which is completely natural, is revealed before our eyes, makes us doubt, move away, sometimes even renounce because it does not fit with our ideal starting ... I think the most beautiful and human show is to want to know each other in the long run exactly for how it is and discover yourself in love every day of the qualities but also the weaknesses, delusions, imperfections that characterize it ... obviously within limits of the norm, there are imperfections that can not and must not be loved at any cost.

Matt's jumpy nostrils when he laughs always made me wonder what made this part of the scene SO funny, but I just realized now it's all improvised by Robin Williams. What a great comedian... Matt's face shot is shaky because the cameraman is laughing his ass off! I'm not a fan of improvisation in cinema, but that was a good one to keep. Thank you Mr. Williams.

A great scene. In it, Sean gives Will more words of wisdom to think about than anybody's has probably ever given him before. But at the end, Will turned the tables on Sean and says the same way, what about you too? By doing that, he basically said to Sean that when you're carrying so much emotional baggage, it not that easy to do. And you Sean should know that better than anybody. And that's the thing that makes this movie truly great. Those two basically helped save each other.

We really lost a good one when we lost Robin.

He is so wholesome, he has that sweet childish grandpa look

This was the film where Robin Williams showed the world he is a world class act, not just a comedian. What an amazing talent.

Dear god, this is such an amazingly well written movie.

so cool to see how even though this bout ended in a draw between them, his shrink is winning trust on Will on something not even all his intellect can see.

No movie scene touched me so deeply like this one. Robin Williams was all tenderness...

I miss emotions I miss the little things that make us volatile but at the same time vulnerable and scared I miss Robin Williams the world is not the same without him

It’s scenes like this is why I love the movie so much.

Proof that this man was a comedic genius. He completely ad-libbed that story about his wife farting and didn't warn anyone prior to shooting the scene. Not only was Matt Damon's laughter 100% real, but the camera is shaking because even the camera operator couldn't help but laugh. Celebrities die all the time, but his death by suicide rocked me to my core. I had to postpone a meeting I had scheduled for that evening just to attempt to wrap my head around it. Oftentimes, the ones we lose to suicide are the ones who seem the happiest: optimists, clowns, people who just can't seem to stop smiling, etc. Tell the people in your life that you love them. If you've already done that recently, it's time to do it again. You'd be amazed at how much a simple "I love you" can do for a hurting soul. Your move, chief.

Robin Williams king of acting, a true actor always playing a role and never gives true himself in front of us....

My god did Robin ever deserve that Oscar. His performance is - ahem - perfect.

I only got around to watch this movie when I was in college. And at that age, I could relate to it so so much. RIP Robin Williams

GREATLY MISSED .ROBIN WILLIAMS . .GREAT PERFORMER . .

Robin Williams is the most underrated actor of all time

I never really got that line when will said it back to him. Until now he loved his wife so much what they had was perfect why would he want to ruin that. God what great writing.

Happy Birthday you wonderful, lovely, dearest man. You are everyday missed. 🖤🖤🖤

“I teach this shit doesn’t mean I know how to do it.” I loved how Sean himself was vulnerable in his approach to working with Will. He opened his heart to the relationship and led by example. His smile at the end when he said he stole my line said it all. Masterful acting and peak humanity in the form of Robins role here.

Good Will Hunting is one of the few movies I will always finish watching no matter where I start.

How can one scene be so perfectly accurate. So beautiful.

I used to say this to my ex all the time. All her little things she hated I loved about her.

1:03 Matt gets the cue to go on 😂😂

Even the camera clues are shaking laughing lol

Watch how the camera pans across as the power dynamic shifts towards Sean with his 'breaking the ice' comments about his wife. Then it pans back in anticipation of Will turning the conversation on its head and batting back Sean's 'super philosophy' comment. Brilliant.

My favourite scene of all time!!!! My second favourite is the river bank scene. And obviously, Good Will Hunting is my favourite movie ever. I'm so passionate about this movie.

The chemistry and just the raw intimacy of this scene conveyed in such light banter between the two. A confident, new comer, Matt Damon paralleled by a learned and depth stricken Robin Williams.. With characters of equal comparison. Such spontaneous presence from both in this moment. I dont think you could reshoot this better if you tried. Perfection.

I miss Robin William. RIP, with love.

One of the greatest improvised scenes in movie history.

find someone should be an obligation, life should not be seen only from romantic perspective, cause it alienates when you confront romance with reality. don't rely only in what feels good, it might not be true, it's only a feeling, an instinct. but this kind of friendship between this conversation, this is genuine, this is what worth, even if it's just for this moment...it's real.

watched this before a relationship, while in a relationship, and after. each time seeing something new.

I like how he turned the "super philosophy" line right back at him

Damn this movie man. Doesn't matter what phase of life, what situation. It always had that little nugget that you need. God bless Robin Williams

Robin Williams one of the grestest actors ever!!

This has to be one of my favourite movie scenes from one of my top 5 movies. Hits relationships to a tee. 2 movies legends

1:29 Matt Damon’s side-splitting, squeaky laughter (which was non-scripted) is a hoot...

".....those are the things I miss the most" Hit me hard
