Review
Another classic - I'd watch this movie any day. To think that it was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck too makes it that much more special, and its sheer genuine-ness makes it easy to love. Will is a legendary protagonist, with the whole movie being centered around his character arc, facilitated by Sean (Robin Williams), who was a close second-best performance. Their chemistry was indescribable, and made the movie to such an extent that most of the movie was just them sitting in a room and talking to each other. Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard) was a believable human character, Skylar (Minnie Driver) was a likeable human love-interest, and Chuckie and Morgan (Ben and Casey Affleck) were a great complementary cast to round out Damon's scenes. The dialogue was incredibly iconic, with "Carmine Scarpaglia", "How'd you like them apples", and a lot of outbursts making the movie insanely entertaining. Artistically, the movie wasn't lacking either, and its background music was a solid complementary piece whenever it appeared.
