A Will To Change
Good Will Hunting is a movie made by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in the late 90's. It is a film about an abused orphan named Will Hunting who is incredibly intelligent, wise, cocky, and is in trouble with the law. The beginning of the movie opens up to Will working as a janitor at MIT. This is where he was discovered by a Fields Medal winning Professor, Gerald Lambeau, when he anonymously solves a formula on a blackboard placed in the school's corridor that took the professor two years to figure out. Professor Lambeau tries to get Will to turn his life around with the help of a therapist, Sean Maguire. With the help of the Sean, Will begins to realize there is more to himself that he actually realizes. Sean also helps him face his past so that he can move forward and embrace his future. It is a brilliant and inspiring film that includes many deep, hidden ideas of self concept, conflicts, intimacy, self disclosure, as well as many other interpersonal communication concepts.
Will is a person who doesn't care about social pressure. He is also indifferent about his own intelligence and uses it only to survive. This is what he perceives himself to be, but his perceived concept is hindered by the fact that he was an abused orphan. He believes that his rough life is his own fault. In the movie Sean asks: "Why is he hiding? Why is he a janitor? Why doesn't he trust anybody? Because the first thing that ever happened to him on God's green earth was that he was abandoned by the two people who were supposed to love him the most!" This broken childhood taught him to survive and to do that he must not show his feelings. That is why he is so defensive. He does not want to be disappointed. Will's self concept eventually changes when Sean tells him that "it [his abused childhood] is not his fault." This is the part of the movie where Sean convinces him of his self worth and what he means to his friends.
