  A perfect example of "write what you know": Ben Affleck's father had worked as a janitor at Harvard, his mother was a math teacher, Matt Damon's mother was a professor of childhood development who studied abused children, both Affleck and Damon grew up working-class in Boston, and Damon attended Harvard briefly. They integrated their life experiences in a brilliant way

  Its ben afflecks monologue about how Will owes it to his friends to not waste his talents that actually pushes will in the right direction .

  Robin finally won his Academy Award for this.  It was magical.  Billy Crystal, his best friend, was hosting.  When they hugged, I cried.  I miss Robin.  Thanks for the watch.

  Skylar's utter devistation when Will tells her he doesn't love her is so raw, so real that I feel her pain and forget I'm watching a movie.

  Everyone (rightly) raves about Robin Williams, but Minnie Driver and Stellan Skarsgård are absolutely incredible in it as well.

  Carly says "easy on the language", they're surprised about people getting in street fights, and amazed that Dunkin's is everywhere, clearly they've never been to Boston lol

  When Robin Williams passed away, Matt Damon reportedly went to the bench where they filmed the monologue to feel close to him. This movie catapulted Matt Damon to being a top box office star and Robin Williams will be remembered as one of the all time greats.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE0no4UGMuE&amp;t=3171">52:51</a> Robin Williams improvised the “stole my line”. When the director and Matt Damon heard it they knew it was perfect for the movie.
