Good Will Hunting

I thought Good Will Hunting was a good film. I enjoyed the comedy in it and also the big fight scene. I also really liked the theme of this movie. Its about an abused foster child who never left Boston and grew up to be extremelly smart in Math. If you have a gift like he did you should put it to use no matter what kind of a life you had growing up. You have to learn to put things in the past and move forward. I also feel this is the reason why this movie has been so highly acclaimed over the years. I really liked Matt Damons character, Will Hunting, because he was very cocky and had an "I don't care" attitude. He didn't let no one push him around and he was very smart on top of it all. You don't expect someone with that type of personality to be so smart, which made the film very interesting. My favorite scene is the big fight scene with Will Hunting and his high school bully. I love the violence in movies because it adds so much drama, especially when Will Hunting threw the first punch, I nearly jumped out of my seat with excitement. I also like towards the end of the movie when he met with Robin Williams for the last time in the film because you seen the tough guy bust into tears after he kept telling him it wasn't his fault. I didn't like the fact that the professor tried to live his life through Will Hunting by trying to make him do things he wasn't ready for and also going behind his back and setting up meetings and etc. I feel that even though the professor was trying to help make Will successful, he should have let him do it on his own.

on the waterfront

I thought On the Waterfront was decent movie. It was an easy movie to follow and figure out the message it was trying to send. I disliked the music they chose for it. My favorite scene was at the end when Terry and Johnny in the fight at the waterfront. It was my favorite because you actually got to see Terry's fighting skills that he talked about. I feel this movie has been so highly acclaimed over the years because of how controversial it is. The mob had so much control over the community. Everyone knew what they were up to, but no one would speak up because they feared for their lives.

Casablanca

I must say I like the movie, Casablanca, even though it's not my style of movie. I really like Rick's character he was a stand up guy and never got into anyones business because he was neutral. My favorite part of movie was at the end when Rick shot Major Strasser. This allowed the plane to freely make it to the US, this is what he knew would be best for his love. The movie touched on a little of everything such as drama, a little action, a little comedy and romance. The movie was pretty easy to follow. Over the years Casablanca has stayed so popular because the film was made during the WWII. It is a movie of inspiration and redemption. Each characters life is some how changed.
