Title origin

Could anyone tell me why it is called 'Good' Will Hunting? It has puzzled me for a long time. I can see the possible play on 'goodwill', is it that simple? TIA Peter — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.23.62.125 (talk) 12:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Damon plays Will Hunting. Will Hunting is an orphan so is searching for a legacy. 194.207.86.26 (talk) 18:45, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See the section called "Title" above (from 2006). --Ken Gallager (talk) 20:53, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the movie was inspired by this mathematician's real life event is worth at least 1 sentence mention in the article. User:Dr. Jamir Harber has accused me of vandalism. That's a very serious accusation. He either needs to back up his claim with proof or retract his accusation against me. 2600:6C44:117F:95BE:64B8:239:D331:9773 (talk) 08:01, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, turns out that it's a sock. If anyone wants to remove my added info, I'm down for a debate. 2600:6C44:117F:95BE:64B8:239:D331:9773 (talk) 08:06, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
