Will Hunting = Edward Snowden ??
I can't help thinking this movie had some part in Edward Snowden making the decision to become a whistleblower and expose the criminal activities of the NSA --- especially when you watch the scene where Will Hunting basically tells the NSA recruiter to go F himself because of a hypothetical and horrific end result of Will's codebreaking skills at the agency.
Will Hunting is a troubled soul but luckily has a strong moral code that he lives his life by --- and I think Snowden is the same type of person. No amount of money can make you compromise your values. That is the real genius of this film.
God bless ya, Will Hunting and Edward Snowden!
