2. Damon's Best and Most Powerful Scene to Date
Not only did 'Good Will Hunting' give Matt Damon his best one- liner, but it also gave him the greatest scene of his career. Damon has starred in countless dramas, but never has he reached the level of intensity displayed in the "it's not your fault" scene in 'Good Will Hunting.' The scene is infamous and near perfect and one of the most emotional I've ever seen. Will Hunting has reached a pivotal point in the film and is feeling lost and abandoned and has put his usual shields up to deflect from true human contact. Williams' Sean has come to a point where he knows Hunting must get his act together or fall between the cracks and become just another lost soul drinking the nights away, working minimum wage jobs, landing in jail every few weeks and wandering aimlessly through the streets of Boston looking for trouble. So, Sean gives Hunting what he knows Hunting has never gotten: Understanding, empathy, acknowledgement. Yes, I know it's been hard, he says. Yes, you have been treated unfairly. Yes, you deserve more. Yes, the world screwed you over. Yes, you can change. He manages to say all that with one simple line that this macho guy is not afraid to admit brings him to the point of crying like an eight year old girl every time. Damon and Williams knock it out of the park and pull on the heart strings of every viewer. Damon had his best chemistry with every actor in 'Good Will Hunting,' especially a marvelous Robin Williams. Plus, the scene inspired a funny 'Family Guy' moment...
