Foi através do alpendre da outra casa do sr. Paulo que encontrei um texto que vai direitinho para a estante dos verdadeiros e merece, por isso, ser transcrito nesta casa. O texto pertence ao filme do rapaz que escrevia equações matemáticas nos vidros das janelas:
Sean: You got a lady now?
Will: yeah i went on a date last week.
Sean: How’d it go?
Will: Fine
Sean: Well, are you going out again?
Will: I don’t know.
Sean: Why not?
Will: Haven’t called her.
Sean: Jesus Christ, you’re an amateur.
Will: I know what I’m doing. She’s different from the other girls I met
We have a really good time. She’s smart, beautyfiul,fun…
Sean: So call her up.
Will: Why? So i can realize she isn’t so smart ? that she’s boring? You
don’t get it. Right now she’s perfect.I don’t want to ruin that.
Sean: And right now you’re perfect too. Maybe you don’t want to ruin that.
Will says nothing
Sean: Well, i think that’s a great philosophy,Will. That way you can go
through your entire life without ever having to really know anybody.
Sean looks directly at Will,who looks away. A beat.
Sean: My life used to turn the alarm clock off in her sleep. i was late for
work all the time because in the middle of the night she’d roll over and
turn the damn thing off.Eventually I’d put a second clock and put it under
my side of the bed,but it got to where she was gettin’ to that one too.She
was afraid of the dark, so the closet light was on all night.Thing kept me
up half the night.Eventually I’d fall asleep out a sheer exhaustion,and not
wake up when I was supposed to ‘ cause she’d have already gotten to my
alarms.
Will smiles, sean taes a beat.
Sean: My wife’s been dead for two years,Will. And when I think about her,
those are the things I think about most. Little idiosyncrasies that only I knew
about. those made her my wife.And she had the goods on me too.Little
things I do out of habit.People call these things imperfections,Will.It’s just
who we are.And we get to choose who we’re going to let into our own
weird little worlds. You’re not perfect.And let me save you the suspense
- this girl you met isn’t either.The question is whether or not you’re perfect
for each other.You can know everything in the world , but the only way
you’re findin’ that one out is by giving it a shot.You sure won’t get the answer
from an old fucker like me.And even if i did know i wouldn’t tell you.
Will smiles . A beat.
Will: Why not? you told me every other fuckin’ thing.You talk more than
any shrink I ever met.
Sean laughs.
Sean: I teach this shit i didn’t say I knbew how to do it.
Will: You ever think about gettin’ remarried.
Sean: My wife’s dead.
Will: Hence, the word remarried.
Sean: My wife’s dead.
Will: Well i think that’s a wonderful philosophy,Sean. That way you can go
through the rest of your life without having to really know anyone.
A beat. Sean smiles.
Sean: time’s up.

Se não tou em erro o filme onde uma pessoa escrevia equações matemáticas em vidros era este. O que tu referes ja vi a bastante tempo por isso talvez lá o Matt tambem brinque com canetas em vidros.
sim, sim, mas no Good Will Hunting, o moço também escrevia em vidros, agora que falas nisso não a certeza se seriam das janelas ou se nas vitrines do corredor da faculdade, que ele costumava varrer, é esta uma das imagens que me ficaram…
Não era nos vidros. Era nos quadros negros qua havia nos corredores do M.I.T.. O professor, de vez em quando, deixava lá uns problemas complicados para quem quisesse tentar resolver. O Will resolvia-os sem que ninguém desse por nada, enquanto varria o corredor.
Isso
O “Good Will Hunting” é o meu filme favorito desde há algum tempo. O que sempre me surprendeu nele é o facto do argumento ser tão bom e ser escrito pelo Matt Damon e o Ben Affleck. Aliás, por esse argumento, eles “só” ganharam o Óscar para o Melhor Argumento, o Globo de Ouro para o Melhor Argumento, o Ouro de Prata em Berlim, etc., o que é incrível se atendermos a que são conhecidos “apenas” como actores.
Eu identifico-me muito com toda a história, os sentimentos, os medos, as situações, as palavras… Esse excerto em particular define uma bonita filosofia de vida, que gosto muito de partilhar.
