Good Will Hunting

So I have a thing about predictable movies: I hate them. I'd almost rather them end really awfully than really happy all the time. But I suppose this isn't a uniform statement because I did actually like Good Will Hunting. But I'm not sure if it's for more than the fact that it was a sincerely excellent "feel-good" film. In every sense this movie was predictable. There was a bad fella, his excellence was unlocked, he fell in love, he gets help, and oh, he ends up with the girl. Of course he does. There's nothing wrong with being predictable, but of late I feel like a lot of the movies I have been seeing bear that unfortunate element of: "Okay, this is so obvious, I could walk out now and know the ending." Well, aside from that, I feel that I should perhaps focus on the movie I've titled the blog with. The acting in this film was supreme, really great. I'm a big fan of Robin Williams, especially when he plays those more serious roles. A lot about this movie was really beautiful. I liked the way Will Hunting sort of humbled himself to become something. I'm totally down with that: when those people who tend to be a bit cocky and macho get over themselves and do something great. I feel that Will Hunting had to do a lot of that in this film to become what he did. Despite the painful predictability this movie was a viewing pleasure.
