You would ditch a friend over a tattoo you didn't like or over getting divorced? My friends all go through various difficult times in life. I support them, not ditch them. And their tattoos don't even register as events for me.

Who are you kidding, the wife has zero power in that relationship and that's just the way Matty likes it.

They need to rebrand their love story—The Worst Love Story Ever!

Same. jlo is arrogant as well but has more love for thr people around her. Jens comments about him says it all. He's not a nice partner.

He seems to really not like being married, he should probably stop marrying people.

I am from his area and know people who grew up with him. He is just a regular frat-bro with some intellect and looks who got lucky. He is in over his head with J LO.

Their monthly expenditures must be astronomical with these living choices.

I agree and in his 20s and 30s I just thought he was an enormous asswipe. But I liked Argo and The Accountant a LOT and that has sort of turned it around a bit for me, I forgive him his asswipery.

Yes, and immaturity. Jen G is a saint for continuing to support him for the sake of their kids.

Good Will Hunting was based on Ben’s dad who actually was a janitor at Harvard in real life as well as a playwright /wannabe actor who wasn’t able to make it due to…

Alcohol and gambling problems.

It’s obvious Ben really was affected by his dads story and he’s inherited his father’s similar issues while completing his dads dream of being a famous actor and writer

There are a lot real life inspiration in Good Will Hunting and not just the janitor at Harvard link. I think Matt also mentioned some of inspirations from his parents.
Also the two fights (the one in the basketball court and the other in the bar) were probably based on their real life competition encounter in Hollywood in the early 90s, not verbatim, but rewritten into the film's story line.
Incidentally Affleck's father was actually meant to do great things, as he very likely was the only protege to American writer William Faulkner who won a Nobel Prize for Literature in the 1950s. Shame he squandered all that away by drinking.

He'd be better off volunteering with the needy.
