If you ask me about art probably citeresti all art books ever written ... Michelangelo.
know many things about him: his work, political aspirations, he and the pope, sexual orientation, all of it true?
But I bet you can not tell me that smell is in the Sistine Chapel.
You've never been there with the head turned toward that beautiful ceiling ... ever seen.
If I asked you about women, I probably would a vision on your preferences, you can even have fucked a few times ... but can not tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel really happy.
you one soon.
And if I asked you about the war probably S hakespeare threw me in the face eh?
"Once more into the breach dear friends?" ...
But you've never touched one.
You've never held his head in the lap of your best friend saw him with his last breath while looking for help.
If I asked you about love I'd say probably a sonnet.
But looking at a woman you've never been totally vulnerable ... do not know one that you lifted his eyes, feeling that God sent an angel on earth just for you, to save you from the depths of hell.
do not know what it feels like to be her angel, to have so much love for her, beside her forever, in every circumstance, including cancer.
do not know how it feels to sleep on a chair in the hospital for two months holding her hand, because the doctors see in your eyes that the term "visiting hours" not apply to you.
do not know what the real loss, because this only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself, I doubt you have ever dared to love someone so much.
I look at you and I see an intelligent, confident, I see a bully that shit in fear.
But, you're a genius Will, who denies this.
Nobody can understand what you deeply.
But you claim to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine and you made my life pieces of shit?
're an orphan right?
Do you think that I can frame how difficult it was your life, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? This is enough to capturing them?
Personally, I strafrego of all this, because you know what, there's nothing I can learn from you not read in some fucking book.
Unless you do not want to talk to you.
who you are.
Then it fascinates me.
I'm .
But you do not want a true champion?
're terrified by what you say.
It's your move again.
ones I mentioned are exactly the words that Sean McGuire (Robin Williams) tells Will Hunting (Matt Damon) in what some may consider one of the scenes more crucial for the film Rebel Genius.
is the movie poster, which shows us just the psychologist and her patient hard side by side:
Actually Genius Rebel is a film that, like all great films should be seen (and appreciated) in full, to be understood seriously.
However, I wanted to, for once, give only a short dialogue (though I think this is something to be avoided, because only remember something through his hand, rather than the whole, is a bit 'kill what you want to talk) because this is the passage on which I focus my analysis today in this beautiful film.
A film that I have on video (that lovely, the old days, when it was still a DVD that you have to have to watch a movie!) At home for many years.
I had already seen years ago, but a few days ago, taken from the passenger wants (which could be followed over the next few days) to review at least the ones that impressed me most (what, then, in engineer that is made when you do not have the chance to rent a good movie different every night or so, and then, instead of into something never seen, even though they are old and familiar to everyone others, their neurons are wasted in the recovery of what is already known for some time).
Review Rebel Genius is useful because it allowed me to overcome the idea that I was partial and not complete in the memory of this film, based on my past view years ago.
I was convinced it was nothing but a movie about math, then belonging to that current scientific and technical (which I hate) that would stubbornly (and pretentiously) demonstrate that the only true knowledge is that which derives from mathematics and the fine and precise scope.
In fact, Rebel genius is much more.
It 's a movie that wants to embrace the culture at large.
And he wants us to reflect seriously on the need to live, in fact, life, to really understand it.
Why read about (and) life through a book is not enough.
offers just a bunch of information, certainly extraordinary, but designed to melt at the first contact with what's out there in the world.
is why it is so important to the piece, the psychologist-patient dialogue about which I quoted from the movie paro paro beginning (think I wrote all the jokes on paper stopped the VCR, to discover, after , who were present on the network, and that I would have been enough to show them a copy and paste, and in fact I used the latter option to bring them here, otherwise I would have to rewrite everything on the PC).
E 'important because it shows us exactly who are the parties involved.
A psychologist, who among other things is the first that is able to establish a fruitful dialogue with the difficult genius Will (previous colleagues had all been fooled by the patient brilliant, surrendering the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving more in do with him).
Professor Sean McGuire is actually the only one who attempts a direct contact with Will.
Trying to understand it.
Sure, the psychologist he had a troubled past (from the illness of his wife, then died), just as the genius of Will, who is an orphan, and passed through various families in foster care, being taken away from all the violence .
So there is this empathy, the psychologist and bonds well soon (not without some difficulties and frequent bickering) with his patient, because it captures the deeply troubled.
Will is a genius, but most importantly it is a genius that no one wants to understand.
fact is it was over to do the janitor in a university, but may, with his skills and knowledge, afford much more.
In fact, there is someone who will understand.
Professor Gerald Lambeau University of mathematics in which he works.
professor who will soon discover that Will is the only one in the right to know how to solve complicated mathematical problems that are impossible for all students, and even the professor.
But the genius Will not want to disclose what he does, it solves the problems of hidden, remain anonymous until it is caught writing on the blackboard by Professor Lambeau.
E 'comes from there that the whole story.
In this, if you will, there is also some optimism.
Why the genius Will it went well: he has found someone who has grasped the enormous talents, and wanted to do something for him, helping him to shed light on its problems, taking him into custody and saving it from a conviction that some genius would suffered yet another brawl in which he found himself involved.
But he could not go so well.
The film throws the hook, but then withdraws it, without waiting for us if we have the bait.
Like all best things.
So Genie Rebel the film winks at a problem that is primarily social.
Because if Will has been basically good, and has found someone who has taken care of him, trying to figure it out, so it is for many others like him missing genes, which most likely end up doing the janitors or construction workers (work respectable and utilities, with a their dignity, as is also explained in the film within a scene), but maybe you would like to say many more things in the world, face a different life, if only someone would allow him, and listen to them for that.
Instead remain abandoned to their humble (and honorable) destiny, without being able to take off.
I therefore believe that, ultimately, Rebel Genius is a film dedicated to all those people.
People with wings clipped by a company that does not want understand, which is an end in itself, and wishes to be, regardless of the rest.
Waiting for the first move of the other.
Expecting something in some form by those who would like to go further, but can not make it because he sees around him only indifference and careerism.
to people like these, one can not simply wish to have a good luck and happy as those that, in the end, while in the throes of the course, it's up to Will.
A life of love that we can fully grasp, away with not only a defense mechanism to prevent then to turn into love something worse, getting nothing but neglect.
But, above all, a life that, at some point, allowing the big jump.
Lets get away, far away from the world that does not understand, looking for better luck elsewhere.
It will be your best friend to look for your home to give you the usual step of every day.
Do not you find it.
And understand that you're finally gone, without even saying goodbye, but you did because it was the right thing for you.
And maybe you know it went well with a new car that your friends thugs, of which around you to give the illusion of a life of small things extraordinary and adventurous, you have got by putting the pieces together.
And, now, who knows where you are.
wonder if you read these lines without need them anymore.
