Good Will Hunting - Collector's Edition (1998, DVD)

Movie Description
A South Boston whiz kid elects to clean the halls of learning rather than enter them, slumming his way through life as a janitor at MIT. But his natural ability to unravel complex equations attracts the attention of a professor who won't let him quit, a beautiful Harvard student who wants to save him, a sympathetic buddy who wants him to escape South Boston, and a counselor who encourages him. A soundly acclaimed, homegrown effort from lifelong Boston buddies Damon and Affleck, who pushed their script through development by disguising it as a suspense thriller.

    A story about an unusually intelligent young man whose past family life is having strong, negative effects on his present. His gift becomes known to a professor at MIT, who hires him on as an assistant. His violent and untrusting nature, however, strains this partnership, and the professor has him see a series of psychiatrists. GET THE MOVIE!!!!

    This is a father's day gift for my husband from my son. My son broke the first one, so we decided a perfect new one for my husband. It's a great family movie with a great story line based on a true story about dedication and faith.

    I bought this film to do a film analysis in my college class. I fell in love with the beauty of redemption in this movie. Everyone can connect with what is addressed and I highly recommend it.
