I have now seen "Good Will Hunting" twice, and I liked it even more the second time.
             Now THIS is a terrific movie. Just a terrific movie from start to finish, with barely a flaw to speak of. It is moving and funny, romantic and painful, familiar and fascinating. And it's a wonderful story to boot. In case you don't already know (which would mean you're not a subscriber to "Entertainment Weekly" or "Premiere" or any of that stuff), "Good Will Hunting" was written by two young men by the names of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who recently won a richly deserved Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay. Affleck and Damon are best friends in real life, and apparently worked on this as quite a labor of love for quite a long time. It paid off, big time.
             Will Hunting (Damon) (mmmmmmmm....Matt Damon) is the kind of smartass genius that just drives people nuts. He can do crazy things with math, the kinds of things that don't make any sense to more than maybe one-quarter of one percent of the population. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of history and political theory, not to mention an extraordinarily quick wit. What he's doing with his life as the film begins is hanging out with his buddy Chuck (Affleck) and a couple of other guys, and working as a janitor at MIT. Will doesn't feel completely at home at MIT, to say the least, because he's from South Boston and isn't really comfortable with the college crowd. (One of my favorite lines in the movie comes when Chuck suggests they go up to a bar near Harvard and Will says, "What're we doing to do up there?" Chuck replies, "We'll [mess] up some smart kids.") But when a math professor puts a very complicated problem on the board for his students to ponder, Will can't help sneaking in during the night and finishing it.
             Despite his obvious promise, however, Will has a tendency to do some stupid things. One day he gets into a fight for no particular reason, and he winds up in trouble, which he...
