Good Will Hunting Matt Damon and Ben Affleck both won an Oscar for their work on this screenplay‚ but everyone knows that.

The movie I chose to explore the concepts of existentialism was Good Will Hunting. I want to preface this by stating that I noticed not only a lot of existentialist ideas being applied in the movie‚ but much of the traits of good counseling (caveat: there were also a lot of ethical breaches‚ such as placing hands on a client’s neck‚ potentially excessive self-disclosure‚ broken confidentiality).

Hutcheon also wishes to view adaptations as adaptations‚ not as independent works. Three ways of story engagement: telling‚ showing

A king is technically a male ruler of a land‚ but what really is a king? What truly makes a king? That question could be answered in many ways through the knowledge of kings in our real world or even those in the literature we read. Gilgamesh‚ Odysseus and Oedipus are all kings in classic literary texts. Each king has a completely different dynamic than the other; likeable qualities and unlikeable qualities. All three of these men have qualities of what the model of a king should be‚ however they
