Then and Now…How Will Hunting Got It Right

Consider this:

The following is a snippet from a film made 16 years ago.

The film is called Good Will Hunting

The scene:

The relevancy of Will’s answer to an NSA recruiter’s question  and our current geopolitical issues is astonishing.  Watch it flow from there.

It’s an amazing scene.  I may be the only one that thinks so, but see for yourself.

[Great Movie Scenes] Good Will Hunting – NSA

As I was preparing to go out to dinner with my family, I was watching Good Will Hunting The film is one of my all time favorites. 

The scene below is a total mind blower.  Keep in mind that this movie was made in 1997.  Both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won Academy Awards for the movie for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen.

Will, a genius from Boston’s working class, who never attended college,  has an interview with the NSA.  The dialogue sounds like it was predicting the Bush era,oil spills, jobs lost overseas for cheaper labor, etc.  In actuality, we were having the same problems back then.
