The Problematic Way Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Chose Which Studio Got 'Good Will Hunting'
Summary
- The theory that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck used sexually explicit scenes in their Good Will Hunting script to test producers' reading diligence is flawed and reflects toxic masculinity.
- The stigma surrounding homosexuality at the time influenced Damon and Affleck's choice to include a lgbtq+ sex scene, and Harvey Weinstein's objection revealed his homophobia.
- Both Damon and Affleck have displayed toxic masculinity in their past actions and remarks, but the film Good Will Hunting offers a message of growth and breaking free from toxic masculinity.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started their acting careers in the 1980s. Both were very close in age, and both had momentary roles in 1989’s Field of Dreams followed by a few more shared production credits after that. They soon began working together on a script for Good Will Hunting and, when they were ready to p
Everything I Can Remember from a Single Viewing of Good Will Hunting
by Julianna Schley
We see a montage of various books in a dimly lit room. Soft, relaxing piano tune plays while a heart-lurchingly handsome young man speed reads through dozens of books. Dawn. Will’s friends come to pick him up in a beat-up car. I think they call him a “faggot.” Will exits the home after Ben Affleck’s ethics knocks on his window / door / maybe he doesn’t do that and we see that Will lives in a shit hole. He gets in the car and there seems to be some sort of pecking order for who gets certain seats as exemplified by the weasel-like one wanting the front seat. Will is dropped off at Harvard University where he does janitorial operate. He pushes around a floor buffer sadly, and at one point peers into a math class in session. The professor is writing a giant equation on the blackboard in chalk and saying something pompous to the class, simultaneously challenging his students to solve the huge equation for some kind of a prize. Maybe an automatic “a” for the semester?
Later on, long after class is over, Will solves the problem on the board in
Documentation Traps: ‘Good Will Hunting’s Gay Sex Scene and Van Halen’s Requirement for No Brown M&Ms
Over the years I have had a sneaking suspicion that the vast majority, of the hundreds of pages, of my required technical documentation was never entity read. This feeling started at my time with at an Orlando corporation whose mascot is a mouse. I don’t wish to say the company’s name directly but it sounds like the pos Misney (Yes I am just joking). I was a little suspicious that my reams of required documentation never seemed to be sent back for correction. I felt enjoy I could doodle pictures of Labradoodles on my Technical Requirements Documents(TRD or pronounced TURD for short) and nobody ever corrected me. Cornerstone documents favor an SDNA would, of course, be scrutinized but ancillary documents could just contain pictures of cats and nobody would be the wiser. Some venture manager could then inspect them off as creature done on her list and the project could move forward.
It was about this time I started adding sentences like “You will never read this – Scott Turman” too much of my documentation. Over the years I have only been called out once for these chin
Therewasonce a gay sex scene in the script of "Good Will Hunting."
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were rookie screenwriters when they wrote the 1997 film about a gifted janitor working at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They ultimately decided to move with Miramax Films, then run by Harvey Weinstein, to distribute the film. Weinstein, whose company was known for independent and foreign flicks, beat out the competition for one reason: he actually peruse the script, and noticed the scene seemed out of place.
"Every studio wanted the movie, every studio wanted them to be in the feature and make this film," Weinstein said on "The Graham Norton" show earlier this month. "They were young kids, just really starting out, but they had some good roles behind them. They came to my office, and I read the script [before] the meeting, and we walked in and everything was pleasant, and then about 10 minutes into the meeting I said, 'Guys, there's just one thing on the script ... I just have one really huge note. About page 60, the two professors deliver each other oral sex and they're on their knees and this whole big sex scene. What the hell is that? Because the guys are straight, and there
