He’s an unbalanced equation emotionally and jail-time looms. Indeed, it’s his temper, rather than his intelligence, that dominates his life and, not surprisingly, Will is arrested for assault (not his first offense). In the meanwhile, Will hasn’t given it much thought, beering and brawling with his working-class buddies.
intellectual establishment is dumbfounded when it is discovered that a mere janitor solved the “unsolvable” problem. Even his brainiest graduate students can barely fathom its pristine brilliance. The head of the math department, Professor Lambeau ( Stellan Skarsgard) is daunted by the genius of Will’s solution. poses as a challenge to the brightest graduate students. In between these parallel and never-meeting courses, Will devises a proof of a highly complex mathematical theorem that M.I.T. by night, he prowls the bars with his Southie buddies, chugging beers and provoking fights. By day, he slogs away as a janitor at M.I.T. But emotionally, it’s an infinite and unattainable distance for Will, despite the fact that he has a gift for finite math, a photographic memory and a capacity to assimilate knowledge and then to synthesize it to reach new dimensions of understanding.Īlthough Will can factor in math of the highest theoretical level, his own life, in mathematical terms, is governed by chaos theory. Geographically, Will’s trek is but a short distance from his working-class South Boston neighborhood to the patrician elitery of Cambridge and M.I.T.
The shortest distance between two points is not a straight line, and that’s especially true for young Will Hunting (Matt Damon) in this personal saga. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl': THR's 2003 Review
