On the evening of November 15th at 7:00 PM, the Sichuan University -Pittsburgh Institute held a movie screening in Classroom N111 in the Jiang’an South Campus.

The featured film, Good Will Hunting, tells the story of Will Hunting, an orphan working as a janitor at MIT. One day, Will unexpectedly solves a complex math problem left on a chalkboard by Professor Lambeau. Amazed by Will’s brilliance, Lambeau encourages him to join in mathematical research and seek psychological therapy. After numerous attempts, Will finally opens up himself with the help of psychologist Sean Maguire, confronting his past and taking a bold step towards his future.

Reflections from Students

• “After watching this movie, I made peace with my past. Sean’s words, ‘It’s not your fault,’ hit me deeply. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life, but we shouldn’t live perpetually in the shadow of trauma. Instead, we should face the future with a smile.”
  — Quanyi Liu, Class of 2028, ECE
• “Everything must have a crack, as that’s where the light gets in. Lost children will eventually find their way home. Our lives are the same—we will find the light, the direction, and the meaning of life.”
