My Opinion : Few scripts rise up to the vivacity and reflective beauty of Good Will Hunting. A calm, detailed and intelligent look at the themes of potential and the dilemma of balancing between logical problem solving genius and the concept of emotion. One problem is that some scenes tend to be left in the dark as we the audience await like excited children for the next dialogue heavy scene to commence.
