The film "Goodwill Hunting" reflects a lot over friendship. The film shows how important the presence of a friend is when the other one is facing tough times. I feel Will and Chucky hold a very comfortable relationship among each other. They each feel comfortable talking to each other as in rude or just straight forward. Both of these young men help each others back and are always there for one another in the good and bad times. They also show support and provide advice when they ar facing a problem.
Will and Skylar hold different beliefs and thoughts among each other. Will compared to Skylar is a poor young man that is very stubborn and doesn't accept he is wrong sometimes. He is a very brilliant man that cannot accept his brilliant side into a chance to change his life. Skylar in the other hand is a beautiful young lady that attends Harvard University and is wealthy. She is a very enthusiastic and fun lady that sees everything positive and doesn't judge. Throughout Skylars and Wills dating period they both show a great connection with each other even though they both are very different from one another. Skylar plays a very important role throughout Wills life, she changes his perspectives on life and helps him realize it's okay to be an orphan and be poor. Professor Lambeau also helps him throughout the film by giving him another opportunity to make a success out of his life. Although it's not easy to help him get through this process in the end Will sees life a different way and realizes none of his past was his fault thanks to the therapies he attended with Sean.Will realizes he has the value to have the talent of being a genious and not everyone has the opputunity he has. He realized this but didin't make much of a change to that perspective, he also realized he lost a good girl for being a fool and thinking he didin't deserve her. They both were in a way different class. As we have discussed in class over values, this film shows how important humility can help a person pursue his or her personal growth. Will was helped in many ways by different people, such as Professor Lambeau, Sean, Chucky his friends, and Skylar. Each one of these persons helped him pursue his life in a positive way. Even though Professor Sean's values compared to Sean's were not much alike they both had the need to help Will and make his life much better. Professor Lambeau and Will were very different, Will was poor and Professor Lambeau was rich. They both enjoyed math but had a different view in what Will's future should be like.
In the end Will decides to follow his heart and goes in search for Skylar, realizing that's what he really wants. Not only does he follow his heart but he reaches what truly makes him happy. He ends up appreciating everyones help, and shows his friends he's off to achieving something new in his life, and that he can't always stay in the same place thinking everything is his fault, and that he will take advantage on the chances he is faced with.
