I think my favorite scene in this movie was the first time that the Robin William’s character ‘gives it’ to Will. I’ve never heard the “you don’t know everything kid” speech done so well… I guess that’s cause the kid does “know everything”… except what can’t be learned in books. I think this movie really says that we all have something to learn. Just think, if you ever reached that point where you did know everything there was to know, what would be the point anymore? What would you do? I think the actual character of Will wasn’t important, it was the development of that character which was most interesting. I could take the more cynical approach and just mark this one off as another “abused kid overcomes his problems”, but I think this movie is better than that. (I would like to know if the actual math problems were real though)
