Kathryn Scott’s The Help takes place in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960s. This movie emphasizes tense racial conflicts that dominated the South during this post-World War era.  Segregation of whites verse blacks was a prevailing and dominating theme of the decade.

Differing opinions exist regarding the purpose and usefulness of a college education. While attending college appears to be a legitimate course of action to advance one’s educational and professional aspirations for some, it may seem senseless when considering the rise of college tuitions coupled with the fact that a college degree does not necessarily guarantee a job. Either way, defining the value and worth of a college education remains subjective. However, in the film, Good Will Hunting, the importance or perceived importance of a college education seems to be rejected at large, namely by the main character, Will Hunting, and his psychologist. Specifically, two main perspectives are shown regarding the frame of mind one should possess regarding education, one that values academic achievement and jobs, and the other that rejects those ideals and focuses primarily on self-discovery to figure out what is wanted in life. Consequently, both perspectives result in different behaviors among the characters in the film. Although Good Wil Hunting accurately highlights some of the major downfalls of a college education, it unfairly criticizes the emphasis college cultures places on achievement and future success. Because of this, the film takes devalues a college education and subtly frames it as a waste of resources through overtly ridiculing it.

Most comedians suffer from depression, and they use their battles as jokes that hide their true emotions behind laughter. The movie The Graduate directed by Mike Nichols, is intended to be a comedy. It portrays a young man named Benjamin who is returning from college and received a highly prestigious award. Not only did he win an award, but he graduated before he turned 21. The average age of a college graduate is 22, therefore, Ben graduated 2 years early with a special recognition, and he does not acknowledge it.

Good Will Hunting, a world famous film by Matt Damon, is one of the most well-crafted and profound films the world has ever seen. Released in 1998, the movie depicts a young South Boston screwup as he journeys from convict to mathematician thanks to his brilliant mind and the guidance of two clever but contentious men at each shoulder. Will is a young man looking to get through life with easy drinking and careless behavior, but after a run-in with a group of policemen and a challenging chalkboard, he is forced into therapy with a recovering widower and begins completing complex math problems with an unstable professor who is past his prime. He also takes up with a pre-med student at Harvard from England who shows him new ways to think about the world, even when he thought he had seen them all. The brilliance of Good Will Hunting comes in the shape of the witty dialogue, symbolic motifs, and a retinue of dynamic characters around the changing Will, and these all come together to create not just a film, but a work of art.
