Good Will Hunting - As You Wish
Brilliant minds, deep emotions, and the courage to confront the past.
Will Hunting, a janitor at MIT, is secretly a mathematical genius. After a run-in with the law, he begins therapy with Sean, a professor who challenges his defenses. As Will confronts buried trauma and ambition, his relationships are tested. The story blends intellect, vulnerability, and emotional growth. It becomes a portrait of potential versus fear.
Will Hunting, een conciërge aan MIT, blijkt een wiskundig wonderkind te zijn. Wanneer hij in aanraking komt met de politie, krijgt hij de kans om therapie te volgen in plaats van celstraf. Psycholoog Sean helpt hem zijn verleden, zijn woede en zijn potentieel onder ogen te zien. Ondertussen worstelt Will met relaties en vertrouwen. De film onderzoekt trauma, talent en zelfacceptatie.
