We're just some guys in Boston, blogging about Good Will Hunting.
Alex remembers seeing GWH once it achieved a wide release in 1998, at the Seneca 8 theater in Seneca, South Carolina. He went alone, very pleased with himself for seeking out this small indie film. Afterward, he drove home down a highway that so resembled the closing scene of the film; it seemed significant. Several months later he went to college in Massachusetts. If this were 1998, you'd probably call Alex this site's "webmaster." Please don't, though.
Dave saw GWH in a theater not far from the MIT campus. He expected this to make the experience more vivid, but it didn't really make a difference. He loved the movie nonetheless and subsequently formed a musical crush on Elliott Smith. On a related note, he likes them apples.
Mike never saw GWH in theaters. He has been atoning for this transgression ever since by cultivating a deep and loving appreciation for the film. Mike once met Gordon Wood; they discussed the pre-Revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.
Katherine gave a high school film studies class presentation on GWH and showed a scene from the movie on a VHS cassette tape from the library. However, instead of the scene in the NSA office, she inadvertently showed the end of the masturbation scene.
