![]() ![]() Will smokes cigarettes throughout the film. Substances: Drinking and bars are seen throughout, as well as beer bottles and other drinks. The F word is used in every other sentence (I think around 140/150 times total), as well as other curse words throughout. Swearing: Pretty much every swear word in the book used. Child abuse is referenced, specifically in Will and Sean’s cases. In another scene, Will and Skylar are fighting he pushes her against the door and punches the wall near her head. At the beginning, Will gets into a fight where he ends up beating a guy up and hits a police officer (which lands him in jail). Violence: The violence isn’t especially graphic. The entire scene talks about him using a baseball glove for it. In another scene, you can slightly hear moans in the background and the guys yell at their friend to stop “jerking off” in his mom’s room. In one scene, Skylar makes a pretty graphic blowjob joke. ![]() There are no actual sex scenes, the closest gotten to one was when Will and Skylar were talking and Will kisses down her body and lays on her chest (which ends in them making out). Sexual Content: Sex is a relatively prominent theme throughout. However, I can definitely see where it would be inappropriate for younger kids.

Smith has worked alongside Weinstein since Clerks debuted in 1994, but has since distanced himself from the disgraced producer. Prior to being mired by dozens of sexual misconduct and rape allegations, Weinstein was the gatekeeper for many up-and-comers in Hollywood and was seen as a powerful man within the industry. Good Will Hunting follows Will Hunting (Damon) as an undiscovered math genius, who works as a janitor at MIT and is paired up with a therapist (Williams) to find the right direction for his life. The film earned nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. The small indie darling was made on a budget of $10 million and ended up earning $225 million worldwide. RELATED: ‘Clerk.’ Trailer Follows the Life and Career of Kevin Smith in New Documentary “I remember when ‘Good Will Hunting’ was leaving theaters and it felt weird because it was like, ‘Wait? There’s all this Oscar buzz, so why would you pull it if it was just making money? And they did it because keeping it in theaters meant that more of the money would go to Robin, whereas the moment it went to video the split wasn’t Robin-heavy. In Kevin Smith’s new book Kevin Smith’s Secret Stash, the writer/director, and executive producer of the 1998 Oscar-winning film, claims that Harvey Weinstein, head of Miramax at the time, pulled Good Will Hunting from the theaters early to screw with Williams's back-end deal, which allegedly stipulated that if the film grossed over $100 million dollars at the box office, Williams would receive a greater percentage of the films gross, splitting that money with Miramax, “I’m not sure if it was a 50/50 split”, says Smith in an interview with The Daily Beast.Īt the time the movie was pulled from theaters, it was doing exceptionally well. However, under the shiny veneer of success lies greed and maliciousness. Throw in a big name like Robin Williams in a prominent, dramatic role, and you get two Oscars (Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor - Williams) and two launched careers. Comprised of unknown writers and lead actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, a well-known indie film director in Gus Van Sant, and Miramax, a studio who made its name producing films like Clerks, Pulp Fiction, and other films that, at the time, were seen as small independent projects that strayed away from the traditional Hollywood blockbuster. Since its release in 1998, Good Will Hunting has been a poster child for the indie movie scene. ![]()
