Good Will Hunting Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Answer Key (R – 1997) challenges students to learn multiple life lessons from this classic film. Explore the depth of Will’s genius and character. Compare Gerry and Sean’s approach to helping Will. Analyze Gerry’s internal struggle between wanting to help Will succeed in a field he loves and feeling worthless compared to Will’s ability. Discuss the concept of honorable work and ponder whether or not Sean’s advice about no one being perfect is relevant today.

Note: This movie is rated R and has multiple instances of the f-word and other profanity. The answer key alerts teachers to skip 25 seconds of sexual banter between Morgan and Cathy.

This resource consists of 14 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information. See the thumbnail images for sample questions.
