It's not your fault

>>220565178
The script was written by two guys from Boston, what do you expect if not the most blunt pseudointellectual character

>>220565178
The whole point of the movie is Will learning and accepting that he is an idiot in basically every facet in life except for booksmarts.

>I like Affleck's character more.
>Content with life
>Accepts that he is going to be a wagie forever and probably gets wife with 1,5 kids.
>Has friends to drink beer with.

>>220565334
So that means OP is the real idiot then

He was supposed to be killed in a construction accident but they changed it to that leaving without saying goodbye. Way more memorable.

>>220565334
Nah, he is cartoonishly intelligent. Same way the lead in suits has the law book memorized. Completely ridiculous anyone thinks humans work like that. I liked the mentats in dune but the human mind just doesnt work like that. There is Muslims who learn all of the Quran and recite it to perfection but that takes years.

>>220567051
The asian girl from the Pitt as well.

>>220565178
I too saw the Rob Ager video

>>220565178
You’re like my idea of a dumb person

>>220565178
reminder that the original script implies it's an entirely sexual relationship between the two men

>>220565178
>It's another "anon watches Good Will Hunting and feels intellectually inadequate" thread

>>220565334
No it’s about him growing up and not being a permanent manchild digging ditches and getting drunk with his childhood buddies.

>>220565412
He isnt content, he has just accepted his lot in life. There is a difference! He wants his friend to succeed even if he knows he will lose him and belong to another class.

>See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!
How do you respond without sounding mad?

>>220567194
I wouldn't say anything, I'd drive over his pleb body in my ferrari and have my parents pay off the judge, which is what no one else did.

That's not it, chief.

>>220567224
You mean the open air drug market liberal hell hole that is full of methadone clinics for miles? Have you been to Boston? It's little Somalia with mass and Cass the center of the degeneracy.

>>220567194
All elite education is artificially inflated to keep the hoi polloi out. Its why William has. Macy's wife got into trouble for lying about the extracurricular to get into college. Its an illusion meant to give the veneer of opportunity, it doesnt mean anything.

>>220567296
The Boston bat party was quite a video, you should watch it.

>>220565230
Underrated

>>220567194
A degree isn't about education, it's about having proof that you can get a degree.

>>220567337
Its another hoop the oligarchy places in front of you to leech off your money and gatekeep the lower classes from their human rights.

>>220565178
this movie shows how dumb people think smart people are. that retarded wiki factoids spouting scene in the bar comes to mind

>>220567349
Nope, Boston thugs are breaking car windows in a narrow street and a cholo driver pulls out a miniature to give them a reality check.

Mini bat, no one dies but they do get a couple of hacks to recalibrate them. I have seen no news report about it. Tense minute when he loses the bat and they chase him down.

>>220567176
Isaac Newton or Carl Friedrich Gauss would feel intellectually inadequate compared to Will Hunting.

>>220567682
Newton was autistic and unlikeable to everyone.

>>220567194
>150 grand
College only costs like 40-50k NOW if you live with your parents and go in-state. And that's not mentioning scholarships, which Will would have no problem getting.
>you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!
Midwit take. College gets you credentials and connections. Yeah, obviously you can learn everything in the classes on your own. But most people aren't that self-motivated, and for those that are college has tons of extra opportunities.

>>220565178
well,Damon wrote the piece for himself to play. Think about it

>>220567735
To working class people that is a lifetime of money.

>>220567767
There's this thing called a need-based scholarship.

I love all these movies showing Southie to be some rough blue collar irish mob neighborhood when it all finance tech bros and bleach blonde bimbos. Most yuppie neighborhood in boston

>>220567051
how is he cartoonishly intelligent lmao?
at best he's average

also hes not at all stupid he's undirected

will hunting is just intelligent how have you not met a will hunting type they are not even that uncommon

speaking to some guy
he knows a ton of shit about a ton of shit
also is some insane drug addict with no direction in life

>>220567682
not even close will is the kind of intellegence that could talk and argue with them but never create what they have created

is will "smarter" maybe but its more of an inballanced peership

i found will relatable and grounded rofl

btw the entire point is he is NOT booksmart hes smart not trained

>>220567051
>the human mind doesn't work like that!
>here's the human mind working like that
>but that doesn't count!
Will is a retard with photographic memory. He mocks the ponytail for plagiarizing but that's exactly as he does as Robin Williams shows. They push it a little with the mathematics I guess but it was written by ben affleck what do you expect?

>>220567682
You are vastly underestimating Gauss.

>>220567865
Will makes a Fields Medalist break down and cry because he's so much smarter than them. Do you know how rare it is to get a Fields medal?

>>220567801
The requirements and competition make it i.possible to achieve if you havent been academically groomed since kindergarten.

>>220567884
do you know how easy it is to make somebody feel inadeqaute.... read my post.

if you dont feel inadequate its probably because you dont have a fields medal.

inadequacy is the natural state of man the fact that you dont know that should upset you

>>220567893
I didn't get any, but my friend who had multiple scholarships definitely wasn't that. He just worked a bit harder. Look I'm not saying a college degree is the be all end all of success, but ESPECIALLY 30 years ago it was extremely valuable.

>>220567908
That's not true. 5 minutes in Boston will show you that narcissism is the natural state.

>>220567921
narcasism born from inadequacy.... anon please i dont want to make you cry

btw the fields medal cried because hes smart

your angry not upset because your stupid

>>220567908
>inadequacy is the natural state of man
NTA but huh??
Maybe for men who've been enslaved for generations and feel inadequacy as an ingrained instinct, but that's not common to everyone

>>220567865
>>220567867
He can spout the page number of a book that he happened to read from the curriculum. It is unrealistic. The card scene from that magic movie with lizzie Kaplan is more realistic. The Quran memorizing takes years and dedication and it is only one book. Will happened to know a random history book he read for fun.

>>220567869
Gauss worked all the time and lived to be almost 80. Will just solved the hardest open problems in math like they were nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if Gauss (and other "geniuses") were just like 98th percentile intelligence combined with 99.9th percentile drive.

>>220567937
He's an idiot projecting his own feelings and can't imagine people feeling anything else than how he does.

>>220567951
Eidetic memory is a real thing even if 'unrealistic'

>>220567951
when i was like 22 and reading alot i could read a book in about 3 days takeing like 20 secconds ish a page

i could qoute full paragraphs

thats a learnt skill
it just chews brainpower >>220567937
nono its like

Comparison is the thief of joy

fucking
the more i know the more i dont know

ect ect its a fundemental of being human sadly

its just a lense but it describes the problem

>>220567977
>true photographic memory has never been demonstrated to exist

>>220567981
Social intelligence is intelligence and you are completely lacking.

>>220567981
>20 seconds a page
Holy shit dude slow down and fucking THINK about what you're reading.

>>220565178
You can only really get it if you're in his position: just coasting through life without accepting that you can't just think your way through everything.

>>220568000
How do you explain this zesty nigger
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wiltshire

>>220567957
>Will just solved the hardest open problems in math like they were nothing.
What are you talking about?
He is shown to solve two problems, ones that Lambeau himself says have already been solved.
The blackboard problem in the hall, and the one Lambeau gives him, which he just solved in a novel way.

>>220568009
what you might find upsetting is how devilishly good i am at playing that game kek

its ok though

rich people dont have a loveing family

>let me know when you figure out what i just said

>>220568022
thats the point i was
you can go even faster

not only was i thinking about it i was fully absorbing it

people would be like hey you know you read to fast right

then i could argue at lengnth about litterly anything in the book while quoteing it directly...

20s isnt even fast

now im old that ability is almost non existant

>>220568023
He wasnt just coasting, he was actively self sabotaging himself like Patrice O'Neal did in show business.

>>220568000
Well, how true does it have to be? If it's 99.6% accurate, is that not close enough to be practically true eidetic memory? Especially to cover what Will does in the film?

>>220565178
he cant be that smart taking the books of america hating far-left jews(redundant, i know) seriously

>>220568032
I hope you are rage baiting and arent anime villain acting in public
, anon. God, dont do that! Reminds me of Charlie from that penguin channel ripping his shirt off in the rain because he thought it was cool.

>>220568085
he just needs a good memory to do what he does
he is not useing books hes using logic and reasoning then picking things from the books that resonate with the line of logic and reasoning

his memeory though impressive does not need to be at all

its all about his raw ability to just transmute and hes a monster

>>220568031
https://youtu.be/HMMEEQy6pDY
The Fields Medalist would be able to instantly grasp what he was doing. Any undergraduate math major can understand Gauss' proofs with ease. And Gauss, being a workaholic, labored over his work for hours and hours. It's a "joke" for Will to come up with a proof that stumps a fucking FIELDS MEDALIST. Nobody has ever been that intelligent anon

>>220568112
was that even a sentance you are not consensus and your contrivances paint me as some villian esque looming figure so bullishly that you have fucking personified me in relateable media

lay off the comic books .... also what the fuck

im some iddiot enguageing in the conversation

me disagreeing with you isnt a marvel movie

>>220567981
>>220568051
>>220568117
ok matt damon you can stop larping now your script sucked balls

>>220568096
Noam chomsky is a genius and is correct about American military war crimes.

>>220568151
my nickname unironically used to be will hunting kek

>>220568137
High level math proofs are not something you just glance at and grasp.
High level math is also very specialized.
Even a great mathematician might struggle to understand a proof outside his area of expertise.
There's also the fact that Lambeau had a different proof in mind (tunnel vision) and still harbors some resentment for Will.

>>220568068
Okay well that's because I self sabotage; I just frame it as coasting.

>>220568177
Im rolling my fucking eyeballs.

>>220568246
you should be hahaha

>>220568239
Are you a mathematician? The problem isn't that Will comes up with a novel proof. It's that to him it's as easy as addition and subtraction.

>>220568265
the maths is just a plot device to try to show how much raw brainpower the dude has

also this legit happens in maths it just takes weeks instead

theres tons of famous mathmeticans that see some problem and go hey i think i can solve that and 3 weeks later they are in the history books

that indian guy they made a film about comes to mind

i would also bet money thats what the scene is based on

>>220568335
Ramanujan was nothing compared to Will Hunting

I still havent been brave enough to start my educational journey. Have you guys?

>>220568375
life is an education

kek

>>220568350
>>220568335
Ramanujan was wrong about as much as he was right.

>>220567051
Mentats have a combination of genetic selection for mega-autism and drugs going for them. Just like the navigators and Bene-Gesserit. Roles in Dune are filled by people literally bred for them for millennia.

>>220567051
Dune is scifi wtf

>>220568397
what odds you give me this is what its based upon?

i litterly dont care but im just drawing a parallel
i would bet money they seen that story while reading about "increadible geniouses" in the local library or whatever the fuck people did before google

and they read

math prodogy solves problem overnight

as it was painted in the pappers


will >>220568350
does nothing that increadible

he psycology fucks his psychologist

hes the smartest dude in every room

he kind of does a math problem slum dog millionare style

whats super interesting is how people treat him and its spot on

>>220568397
>strongman failed to move as many five hundred pound boulders as he succeeded in moving

What a loser! I succeed in moving five pound boulders 100% of the time! Compare that to 50%!

>>220568418
>>220568420
The basic premise is that humans have the inherent capability of incredible cognitive power if training for it.

>>220568457
The point being that Ramanujan didn't prove much. Gauss was prolific and proved lots of theorems, but he was also a workaholic who had a 60 year long career.

>>220568494
its the standard 1% trope anon it does not even need defending


1 in 100 people is the smartest person in 100

he makes the bottom 50% look dumb as rocks trained or not

will is like a 1 in 1million type think nfl player vs highschool quaterback


its all fun and games untill you meet an nfl player


so the "educated" people going up against raw nfl talent just cannot even grasp the differnece

even untrained he makes them look average .... because they are.

the prizewinner crys because he feels average compared to the raw talent

like an nfl player whos trained his entire life looking at somebody who could walk on if he took a different path and still almost being comparible with no training

>>220567224
>anon doxxes himself for no reason at all
???

>>220567132
How sure are we that Rob Ager isn't a Mike Myers character?

>>220568547
even useing this thread some guy probably lurking is the smartest person in the thread

to him we are like animals

he is an animal to the smartest person in his city

and he is a complete moron compared to the smartest person in the country

now can the smartest person in this thread write a better script than the script writers in this thread

maybe maybe not

but the smartest person in the country could in about a week just from haveing seen movies

>>220568642
You have no grasp of what is intelligence.
And your posts make you sound like a bot or an idiot.

>>220568642
this sounds doom and gloom but its not anybody could have a divinely inspired moment where the stars just align and create an undeniably beautiful script

the real difference is how much hard work it would take to make an average script and how much better the smartest persons average script would be

and its not even close its so absurd it could make you cry

>>220568733
prey tell us about intellegence
nobody knows what intellegence is but my frame still applies

>literally everything that ever went wrong in the world is the fault of the u.s. and/or britain

brilliant

>>220568826
It literally is.

>>220568813
content over context

that said my grammer is baked in
its syntax not grammer

it forces you to parse and use your brain
plus i like the part of us that fills in the gaps so my miss-spellings (a shortcomeing of mine) activate the part of your brain that auto corrects and that brings me great joy

what does this have to do with intellegence again

or are you thinking i think im smart and are trying to say im not

even though i said im an iddiot..... do you feel inadequate

were on the same side kek

>>220568858
I hope you aren't using that pickup artist real social dynamics in real life because it is awful.

>>220568834
some ideas are so stupid only high iq people can come up with them

>>220568910
i have no idea what that is but you are correct its very hard to convince people of their own best interest

why are we focusing on me not the ideas or subject matter btw

its refreshing to see somebody not fully comited to the hate thobeit

you sound asif you are on the fence it reeks of intellegence

but what do i know

>>220567735
Woahhh I can go to college and waste four years and 50 grand to impress a Jew at a business who will fire me for the slightest mistake! Fuck you, subservient mind-nigger. I know true sentiment comes from the philosophically meaningful, and not from material vice. I am free of all of your psychological trappings. Ben Affleck won in this movie.

>>220565178
>cartoonishly intelligent
nope he is not
the main character is nothing special
the math problems are just graph theory and linear algebra
its a really stupid movie

>>220569015
i liked it lol

not a single gunshot and yet im on the edge of my seat every time will walks into a room

a strage antihero esque slice of life that rails against the system while working within it

super fun watch

TLDR>>220565178
will hunting is cartoonishly fun!

_

Ben and Matt's entire shtick is to pretend to be salt of the earth Boston types. Neither is. Damon grew up neighbors with Howard Zinn, hence his leftist lecture that name drops Zinn in the bar. Both well-heeled libs whose wealth makes them immune from the consequences of their subversive views.

>>220569230
OK smart guy, give me a personal insight of your own that I may or mayn't get

keep it as short as you can

>>220568965
Im just pointing out that will is a fantastically character and you shouldn't try to emulate him.

>>220565178
If you have a cartoonish level of intelligence like he had in this movie you are for sure also on the spectrum, which Will wasn't at all in this movie. He was basically the biggest possible NPC while somehow having magic INT stats.
But in reality your brain would be wired differently if this is the case and he wouldn't care about stuff like wanting to have and simp for a woman like that.

>>220570742
Right and wrong. He wouldn't be poor and he could get any girl he wanted. He wouldn't be a self sabotuer.

>>220567171
Example? Which 2 men, Will and Ben Affleck or Will and Robin Williams? Or do you mean the Skarsgard prof and his twink assistant? They seemed kinda gay to me.

>>220567337

in-state college can be cheap with aid but 50k isn't even enough for one full year of tuition at an IV league school like that guy was going to. Can't remember if it's Harvard or MIT but they both are like 30k per semester, 60k per year for just base tuition, not including any kind of room and board like dorms or housing.

He was a genius but the book thing was a party trick. His fluency with multiple languages and his ability to master math and chemistry to appease his father who wanted him to get a stable career was astounding.
