Good Will Hunting
We could not be where we are today if great minds like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton didn't exist. These individuals helped create who and what we are today. Without their help our world would be a far more primitive one. These incredible people are said to have a gift, which few could only dream of. But what if these individuals decided in not using this gift. Then where would we be today?

At the end of the movie Will makes a break through and realizes who he is. His first goal is to find Skylar and be with her. Then from there he can decide what he wants to do. Will does find success in the end because he realizes he wants to be with Skylar the love of his life.
