1) It reflects struggle of an individual to establish his identity & figure out what he wants. Asking questions like these which are of paramount importance but we are scared shit less to face them.
2) Gus Van Sant the ace director & brilliance of Mat Damon / Robin Williams.
3) Late Elliot Smith - the maverick with his sweet whisper ( music composer for the movie) who sang some memorable slow songs especially - No Name 3# & Angel Eyes

It narrates story of a orphan genius Will Hunting , who is a hoodlum & janitor in daytime and a voracious reader , student & scholar at night in the safe recluse of his one room house amidst piles of books & a shady table lamp.
But he is scared from nearness , proximity & love offered to him.; maybe due to his past experiences Hence retorts to violence , busting off smart kids of MIT n Harvard & sarcasm.
Until a fellow genius n maverick ( now himself a recluse ) Robin Williams rescues him & offers him the right questions he should be asking to himself & figuring out the meaning of his own life.
===============
Who So Special ?
===============
Robin Williams asks Will ( Mat Damon ) a simple question :
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO ?
( He is clueless and has no answer )
I ask myself once a while & at many occasions I am clueless too ..But I try hard to find an answer :)
( well , Will finally has an answer at the end of the movie. But for that you have to watch the movie. )
PS : Matt Damon & Ben Affleck won Oscar - Best Screenplay for the movie
