What can I do to save you, Will? -A Review of Good Will Hunting

0? 2. (I accidentally turned to an assignment last year, so I posted it to commemorate it.) As a film that won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Good Will Hunting is really a masterpiece that can stand scrutiny and is worth savoring. When I first saw this movie, I still stayed at a superficial level. After watching it, I didn't leave much impression in my mind, and even doubted the supremacy of this film. However, the second time I saw it in class and thought about it, I realized that the best adapted script really deserved it. I think Sean can save Will not because of his superb professional level, but because of his off-court quality. Specific analysis can be divided into the following "four steps". As for Professor Sean's characterization, I personally think it is the most perfect in the whole film. His career, his background, his lines, and every detail all set the stage for him to successfully heal his will and make the ending of the film reasonable. Sean's lines are the essence of every sentence. The physical conflict between Sean and Will when they first met, or Sean's deterrent to Will (when Sean warned Will, it showed that Will was no match for Sean in force), was Sean's first step towards Will. Will's arrogant teasing, sarcasm, satire and provocation made the initial counselors unacceptable and unbearable, and finally left angrily. Will's sharp language attack, if it is completely nonsense, is just crazy talk; But if misfortune is right, it is humiliation. You can imagine that when you meet a stranger on the road and he tells you what to do, you may just feel bored; But if he exposes your scandal in public, you may feel angry and ashamed. As a soldier, Sean may turn a deaf ear to Will's arrogant banter, sarcasm, satire and provocation. But when Will mocked his love, he finally couldn't bear it. But the difference is that he didn't give up, but hit back at will with force: "I will treat you as you treat me", thus ending Will's arrogant attitude (Will never dares to provoke Sean again). If you don't put an end to Will's endless destruction, you can't start psychotherapy. Sean took the first step of treatment in the fastest and most direct way. Maybe some people will think this method is a little violent? Is there any other way to achieve the same effect? As far as I know, there are only two options for violence (verbal violence is also a kind): resistance and non-resistance. If you choose not to resist, whether your purpose is to pursue "moving with emotion and understanding with reason" or to expect his conscience to be found and get lost, the premise of these is to endure violence. If there is not enough patience, the most effective solution is to fight violence with violence. Of course, Sean doesn't have to use force against Will's verbal violence. He can fight back with sharper words than will. However, to do this, we must first have a sharper insight than will, and secondly have a more cunning eloquence than will (including speaking speed and reaction ability). It's not easy to have these two points (you know, Will's genius is not just in mathematics). Maybe we can let Dr. Letterman, a polygraph expert in Lie to Me, compete with him. However, Letterman is not common, but there are still many powerful soldiers (besides, polygraph experts may not have room for psychological counselors). Step 2: Open your heart actively-establish an equal doctor-patient relationship through lakeside dialogue, which is the key to successful treatment. I think everyone who has seen a doctor knows that the doctor-patient relationship is very distant. Sometimes doctors complain that patients don't cooperate, patients are responsible for doctors' bad attitudes, and doctors and patients don't trust and understand each other, which leads to many problems and disputes. The important reason for this result is the unequal relationship between doctors and patients, and I think doctors should be mainly responsible for this result. Although we can understand the boredom of the doctor profession, it is by no means a reason for lack of patience with patients. From the professional ethics, it is the responsibility and obligation of doctors to treat patients, so doctors should have full patience and responsibility to help patients build confidence and trust. Whether it is physical therapy or psychotherapy, it is essential for doctors to care for patients. Sean's opening remarks imply that if the patient doesn't trust you, the treatment can't continue. How to gain Will's trust? Trust comes first. Sean knows that you should treat others as you want them to treat you. So he first opened his heart to Will and talked about love, war and his own experience. This is how Sean and Will establish an equal relationship-their own participation, which is also the weak link in most doctor-patient relationships. Many doctors have a condescending attitude. Dialogue is like a priest listening to confession, without personal intervention (that's a dialogue between the confessor and God, not the priest), and then they just make a prescription (it's really a bit like a priest touching his head), and they don't care whether the patient is good or not. I have to come again because I'm not well anyway. But doctors are not priests after all, and getting sick is not a crime. It is unfair to receive such courtesy. Therefore, in order to gain the trust of others, we must stop the attitude of keeping people away. Imagine a conversation in which you keep talking about yourself, and the other person keeps silent except that you should do this and that. How do you feel? There may be resentment, there may be loss, but it will never be trust. But if both parties are willing to talk about their feelings or opinions, the situation is very different. Therefore, it is very important to use "talk about your problem" or "let's talk about it" in the opening remarks of psychologists. When Sean finished talking about himself, he immediately led the conversation to Will. He knows many things that Will has never tried, and all he knows are other people's stories, so he can't really understand the taste. He thinks he can see through others at a glance, but he is deceiving himself. Sean said to Will, "Do you think I can understand your misfortune just because I have seen Oliver Twist?" The answer is no. As lev tolstoy said, "Every unhappy family has its own misfortune." If Will doesn't talk, no one can understand what misfortune he has experienced and what pain he has suffered. Step 3: Wait patiently-"Start from the weak point" After giving Will a hint that he wants to communicate with him, what Sean has to do next is to wait patiently and wait for Will to take the initiative to break the deadlock, and never speak first. This is a buffer period for Will to adjust himself. At this time, Will's love affair finally reversed the confrontation. Will, who has just entered adolescence, longs for love but is confused. He gradually tried the sweet experience that love brought him, but his inferiority made him afraid to get too close to this relationship. Finally, Will couldn't hold back his restless heart and began to discuss the fascinating topic of love with Sean. This also gave Sean a chance to "start". Will is still in an ideal state of love and dare not put it into practice. Will's reason is that he is worried that if he continues to develop, he will find each other's imperfections and break his beautiful image, that is, "distance produces beauty." Will is afraid to open his heart to a relationship, which has always been a way of self-defense. In the second half of the film, Will's childhood experience is explained. As an orphan, Will was fostered by several families, but he was abused instead of being loved by his father. This had a very big shadow on Will's heart, which made him feel insecure. In order to avoid being hurt, he has strong resistance and aggression. In fact, this relationship has always been the woman's initiative. The sudden love made Will feel a little overwhelmed. He is not ready to start a new relationship. The desire for love and the trauma of the soul make it possible to treat love positively in psychology and negatively in action. He was afraid to be honest about his girlfriend's problems. He is afraid that the other party will look at him differently when they learn about his life experience. He is afraid that the other person will pity him and sympathize with him, instead of really loving him. He is more afraid that the other party will abandon him. In fact, this is a bit similar to lovelorn. Many people lose confidence in love after a failed love, but they are afraid to open their hearts and get hurt again. In this way, it is even more impossible to have a successful love if you shrink back again and again on the road of love, because success is only known when you try, and there will definitely be no success without trying. In fact, no one is right or wrong in love. Emotional failure does not mean that there may be many reasons, such as differences in ideas, because who is not good. Most importantly, don't run away after every relationship is over. Go back and think carefully about what caused the failure of this relationship, so as to learn from the next love and avoid repeating the same mistakes. And there is also a rational reference to measure whether a new relationship is worth developing. In fact, the feeling of failure is also a rare experience. What timid and negative people get from it is only pain and stagnate on the road of love. Brave and positive people can gain a lot of experience from it, and memories are beautiful things, so that they can March forward bravely on the road of love. "Everyone is afraid sometimes, but brave people will put their fears aside and move on. The result may be death, but more often it is to win. " This is a famous saying of an ancient Greek philosopher. We really need such courage. Back to the film discussion, Sean saw that Will's theory was actually a cowardly and self-deceiving rhetoric about love. What he is really afraid of is that when the other party discovers his imperfection, he will abandon himself and hurt himself. Sean and Will share their love stories and talk about his wife's quirks, but these so-called imperfections make their love life full of fun. In retrospect, they are not bored, but happy, because "only I know her quirks". He told Will that no one is perfect, what is important is how to combine two imperfect people perfectly. In other words, to love someone, we should not only love her strengths, but also tolerate her weaknesses. As Marilyn Monroe said, "If you can't handle my worst, then you don't deserve my best." He encouraged Will to try love bravely, to know each other, to practice, and not to leave regrets in life. The dialogue in Sean about whether to regret meeting his wife involves not only love, but also friendship, which is closely related to the choice made by Will later. Sean gave up going to the ball game with his friends in pursuit of his wife, while Will sacrificed (at least temporarily) friendship for his girlfriend and the life he chose. Among them, Will once asked Sean, how did you tell your friends that you didn't go to the ball game? Sean replied, I don't need to explain, they can understand at a glance. This is actually a mapping between Will and his friends. Will's friend Chuck told him at the construction site that they all wanted Will to live a better life, even if they were not together. This is the highest level of friendship. It is worthwhile to think of each other completely unselfishly, even if it requires sacrifice. A true friend is thinking about what he can do for you, not what you can do for him. Just like Sean's friends, when Will finally left, his friends didn't need to explain or even say goodbye. At the end of the film, Will's friends excitedly ran from the back seat to the passenger seat. This is the best seat. It used to be Will's position, and it has always been Will's position in their hearts. Will's friends can even be beggars in order to get him a car; They would rather sacrifice their friendship for a better life for Will. These so-called "street hooligans" have explained to us what true friendship is. It is enough to have such a friend in life. Step 4: Give affirmation-"It's not your fault." After completing the guidance of love, I happened to meet Will's career choice opportunity, and Sean and Will began to discuss other life problems. Will has his own unique views on career choice. He doesn't think that the job that everyone envies is a good job. He thinks there is no distinction between high and low, which coincides with Sean. Sean also leads a miserable life. In the eyes of Professor Rambo and others, he seems to be "nothing", but he feels very proud of his career. This is the life he likes. He doesn't need the affirmation of so-called "successful people" or the pursuit of fame and fortune. What he needs is his honest choice. Sean's concern for Will is not Rambo's love for Will, but his real understanding and concern, which makes Will feel respect from strangers for the first time. Rambo only values the will in mathematics. He regards Will's life as "rubbish". He only cares about how much will can achieve in mathematics, and doesn't care about will's real feelings at all. In Will's eyes, this is not respect, but more like use. Sean is different, perhaps because they have many similar experiences, such as being abused as children and now being looked down upon by others. He understood all Will's thoughts and feelings, and affirmed Will, which made Will feel valued and respected. He is a good boy), yes, Will is still very kind at heart, but years of disguise make him look like a bad guy (aggressive). He likes reading books and won't talk to girls casually. When Sean tells him not to smoke in the office, he will put the cigarette case in his pocket. Many details show the nature of a good boy. Sean saw it, too. He always treats Will with a positive attitude. Everyone else has seen the bad side of Will, but he can see the good side of Will. It was this tolerant and loving heart that saved Will. When Sean said "It's not your fault" to Will's bad record, it completely broke Will's inner barrier and Will began to cry like a child. Years of grievances and bitterness have been released with tears. In the end, Will took off the burden of many years and re-examined his life. As Sean said, he "followed his heart", made his honest choice and started a new life. And Sean packed his bags and seemed to start his new life journey. Will is unlucky, but he is lucky. He experienced a miserable childhood and an ignorant teenager, which failed his genius. But God closed a door and opened another window for him. He got selfless friendship, sincere love and Sean's kindness in the process of meeting him. He chose the life he wanted, and many people dreamed of a life they could not have all their lives. Maybe we haven't got these precious friendships yet, at least we know how to try to get them; Maybe we lost our eyes in an impetuous society. The dream of our youth is only a fleeting passion in front of real life. Many times, we live just to live, but should we summon up the courage to listen to our inner voice? One of the advantages of literature and film and television works is that we can find some shadows in our own lives through other people's stories, thus triggering our own thinking about life and making positive changes in our lives. A good work is like a mentor, so is a good hunting.
