I am watching Good Will Hunting for the first time right now. And I have finally found something that actually portrays how I feel. There is a scene where Will and Skyla get into a fight. She asks him to go to California with her and they start fighting. One thing leads to another and he pushes her up against a wall and punches right next to her head. She cries and takes his head in her hands and says that she just wants to be with him. That she'll leave forever if he just looks her in the eye and tells her he doesn't love her. And so he does. And he walks out.
He's being horrible. But the whole time you are sitting there watching him treat Skyla oh so horribly you are actually thinking that they should be together and you are hoping that they kiss and make up eventually. And you've seen just how bad Will can be. But you love him (platonically...as the viewer) anyway. And you know that he didn't really mean to hurt her and that he does actually love her (well, I think...I haven't gotten to the end of the movie quite yet).
When you think about it like that. Everything that I have done makes perfect sense. And most people I know would do the exact same thing. I wish people would watch that part. Just so they can understand me and not judge me.
Not that anyone I have ever met is a genius on the level of Matt Damon's character. I don't know if I would be able to handle that anyway.
