影片對白 The sky's fallin' on your head. The waves are crashin' over your little boat. The oars are about to snap. You just piss in your pants. You're cryin' for the harbor. So maybe you do what you gotta do to get out. You know, maybe you became a psychologist.
文化面面觀
Howard Zinn 和 Noam Chomsky 是兩位政治激進主義者，他們的觀點在美國有很大的反響。
1. Howard Zinn
Howard Zinn is most famous for his 1980 book A People's History of the United States, a "radical" view that has earned him the reputation of revising history with an anti-American bias. Called "history from the bottom up" by some, Zinn's book sought to tell the story of the United States from the perspective of the disenfranchised minorities rather than the more traditional perspective of the powerful elite. A decorated veteran of World War II, Zinn was educated at Columbia University in New York, then taught in Georgia during the 1950s. In the late 1960s he began teaching at Boston University in the political science department, and he and Noam Chomsky (of MIT) were two of the nation's most prominent academics in opposition to the war in Vietnam; in the '70s and '80s he was a critic of US policy in Central America; and in the '90s he was a critic of the Gulf War. His social activism and written works have earned him scorn over the years, but his history book is a standard text in many US high schools and he has had a strong influence on the public's perception of Columbus, the Founding Fathers and American foreign policy.

Matt Damon 小時候和他是鄰居，還曾在他這本書的有聲版里獻過聲。
2. Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky is a leading linguistic scientist and a longtime professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His 1957 book Syntactic Structures outlined his theories of transformational generative grammar and made him a prominent and controversial figure in the field. Chomsky is also known as a political activist suspicious of big media, big business and big government. His books include Manufacturing Consent （《制造共識》） (1988) and Propaganda and the Public Mind （《宣傳與公共心靈》） (2001). He is sometimes compared with another scholarly activist, Bertrand Russell.
Chomsky was the inspiration for the name given the sign-language chimp Nim Chimpsky.
我觀之我見
Will Hunting 由于從小被拋棄，在多個寄養家庭中生活，遭受過虐待，所以對這個世界懷有戒心。他不愿接受心理治療，不想讓別人進入到他的內心，認為這樣就可以保護自己。在接受Sean的治療前，在Gerald 的安排下，他見過幾個心理醫生，都成功地讓他們“知難而退”了。這個片段中，Will 第一次見 Sean。他們兩個人其實有著相似的背景，并且都愛書。Will 就從滿屋子的書開始，對Sean恣意批評、表示不屑。他隨意評論、揣測Sean，卻對Sean的問題一概不回答，也是因為他懼怕回答會暴露自己的內心。而在評論和揣測中尋找Sean的弱點，希望能像前幾次一樣，也讓Sean自動放棄治療。他激怒了Sean，也激起了他的興趣。
