Not buying it...
Yes, *that* is the thrust of the movie and what drives the plot.

Good job.

The actual plot synopsis of Good Will Hunting:

"Will Hunting (Matt Damon) has a genius-level IQ but chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. When he solves a difficult graduate-level math problem, his talents are discovered by Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard), who decides to help the misguided youth reach his potential. When Will is arrested for attacking a police officer, Professor Lambeau makes a deal to get leniency for him if he will get treatment from therapist Sean Maguire (Robin Williams)."
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

I feel very sad for you, and your total lack of insight.

Maybe you should actually watch the movie before commenting.

Hint: Virtually all of the important and meaningful stuff is derived from the interplay/conversations between Damon and Robert Williams.

Yet, that is where your description ENDS.

Now please respond to the content instead of using the brain fart to divert attention from the fact that you don't know what you are talking about.

OK...OK


So you were a physically abused boy who now has both daddy and commitment issues and also sluffs off interviews for high-paying jobs while mentally abusing women that he actually cares about?

Help me out, Bush.

It truly amazes me how people can watch a relatively straightforward (yet powerful) movie, and still not get it.

I wonder what it's like to be them.

I don't think I have just ONE all-time favorite movie. Like music... I dig different ones in different ways and at different times.

Ask me on the right day...

Pulp Fiction
The Godfather
This is Spinal Tap
Requiem for a Dream
Stripes
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Dumb and Dumber
Saving Private Ryan
Goodfellas

Any of them (and probably more) might make the top spot.

Please, enlighten us as to which part of the movie you can personally relate to.

Just the math problems?

Are we talking about our actual favorite movie or the movie we'll say is our favorite so we won't be made fun of?

Are we talking about the movie we enjoy watching the most or what we think is the best movie we've ever watched.

All these things are very different to me.

Favorite movie.

I was called out for breaking the VERY clear rules set forth in the OP.

To be fair, Robert Williams' and Max Damon's acting was not up to par with the script.

Favorite or best?

I think Life of Pi or Pan's Labyrinth are two of the best movies I've ever seen but I wouldn't say they're my favorite.
