GOOD WILL HUNTING
Manage episode 429267996 series 3586720
It hasn't even been thirty years, and yet so much about this film feels distant and almost irretrievable. Robin Williams and Elliott Smith are sadly gone, as is much of the Southie neighborhood of Boston depicted in this film. Affleck and Damon aren't kids anymore. And yet, if you squint, you can still kind of see today's world peeping through: there's Stellan Skarsgaard playing a prickly genius; there's Harvard University, being held up for public ridicule; and there are some kids looking for meaning in a confusing world. That's where we come in: join we three New England Dads as we shepherd you through Clinton-era Boston when life and traffic seemed to be simultaneously frozen and about to launch forward with terrifying speed as we do our own Big Dig into Gus Van Sant's 1997 era-defining film GOOD WILL HUNTING.
