It's not as prophetic if you realize that what happened in Iraq and Afghan is exactly what our government has done to dozens of other countries before this movie was ever conceived of.
The fact that we sit here watching brain-dead garbage like "Dancing with the Stars" and co-opted news media as our government continues to kill thousands of innocent people and ruin the lives of hundreds of thousands more who had nothing to do with 911 under the guise of "fighting terrorism" should disgust us.
I noticed a lot of people are making this statement, and I would shed some light. Since this movie was released in 1997, the nominal oil price at the time was $20 a barrel, 42 gallons a barrel roughly equates to 50 cents a gallon. Even adding 50 cents on top of that to account for refining/transportation and then making money off every gallon sold would make $2.50/gallon a huge price.
@Hafwaffy All that proves is that you're probably barely out of high school. Gas was 85 cents a gallon in 1993 where I lived. This movie was written in 1996. I know schools these days are pretty terrible but even you can see the disparity there.
I knew gas was cheaper in this time period when I made that comment. I guess my comment didn't give a humored impression, but I was just laughing how much the prices of gas have changed since then.
FBI, CIA, NSA the creation and history of those agencies has always been mysterious. Most recruits would be clueless of their clandestine histories. Matt Damon's boy genius character fails to have done his homework prior to this interview? NSA was Satanic in origin long before self admitted Satanist, M Aquino was groomed for the head position. A legitimate copy of the Zapruder film, clearly shows the driver of the Limo turned towards the President holding a handgun before assasinating JFK.
It 'actually and literally' goes: "You're WORKING for the NSA".
Then you claim conscientious objector status as WH did, and run for President. It's the only Office where the NSA works for you, ergo, the only exit from the NSA.
Doesn't sound democratic, so one crashes planes into thine face, NSA.
Just a thought. It doesn't matter what company you get interviewed for, if they ask you why you shouldn't work for them, they don't want you to give a worst case scenario for working for them. When they say "why shouldn't you work for us?" they don't want you to give a detailed answer. If you don't want to work for them, all you say is "this job isn't for me, I am going to look elsewhere."
@Rawk4Life the point of his respponse is to give the viewer insite into who he is as a person, it's not about the job and entirely about Will, the point is that Will has a negative out look on life which is strongly demonstrated in this scene.
So I was looking for past comments to see opinions and reactions about this scene and all I find is political crap. jesus fucking christ what a shitload of BULLSHIT. why the hell its so hard to ENJOY this amazing scene? This movie is not even close about politics and Gas . You wanna talk about gayBush , Arab and gas? then go to fucking CNN
@BriscoCountyJr23 not really, it was an economical prediction that, given forsite into the world economy and political standings of the world, would have been hard for it not to be right.
OH SHUT UP ALREADY! Enough with this whole "he predicted the George W. Bush Presidency" mumbo jumbo. Quit blaming Bush for the increase in gas prices and implying he threw us into an unjust war. He is no longer President, so stop talking about him.
To everyone who thinks this movie somehow "predicted" the events to come in Iraq, you do realize that every powerful nation in the history has been involved in proxy wars right?
It's not rocket science, what matt damon's character said in this movie is stuff that we been doing since the end of WW2. It's more like pointing out the obvious than "predicting" anything.
Honduras, Panama, Phillipines, Guatemala, Colombia, Afghanistan and Iran. Shit, and that's just the 1980s onward.
@Mulciber87 Very true, however the bit about " shooting my buddy, give his job to his sworn enemy, hit the hash pipe and join the national guard. Might be able to become president" sounds very much like Bush jr. Always cracks me up though.
True. However Damon's lines are still very similar to what happened w/ respect to the results of the War in Iraq. Maybe the very fine details (such as the NSA) are fiction but the overall conclusion of those lines are freakishly identical to that of what eventually happened. To deny that would be to deny facts, thereby making you just as much of an idiot as the person you called an idiot. Not trying to be ass... Just saying.
lol Y do u bring up the Gulf War like I 'forgot' somethin? Have u ever heard of bein relevant? My previous comment was in response 2 NJRocks281's reply which was directed at another person who made a comparison between wat Will said in the clip and wat actually happened as a result of the War in Iraq. All I said was the lines in the movie didnt 'predict' the War in Iraq but were still curiously similar 2 wat actually happened. Im sorry I jus dont c how the Gulf War plays in2 this conversation...
I mean to say that this kinda thing happened in the gulf war, and it's as completely relevant. A lot of what happened in the gulf war parallels with the related stuff described in this scene. They pulled Will's tirade from what happened at the Kuwait Gulf war; they didn`t predict stuff from the current War in Iraq - It's more that a lot of what is happening now parallels what happened then, yet people think that stuff like this only started after 9/11 or something.
I get what youre saying. Recently did sum research on the Gulf War to familiarize myself w/ the events that took place during it (I'm a war history nut but w/ modern ones; except WWII) and I get what you're saying. But many parallels are made between the present and past history; hence the saying, 'history repeats itself.' Ppl focus on the second Iraq War b/c it's the 'hear and now.' The problem is that they don't ponder enough on the past 2 prevent similar mishaps from reoccurring.
@Nueroactive, we must throw a molotov cocktail through ya mommas, mommas house.

What so special outside The Matrix that isn't already here, kidd? To have self awareness of the real world? I stay strong but I don't perceive or see a light. A few good moments of existence should downturn the hollowness of the prison engulfed?
@Nueroactive, I tried to rape a beer bottle but I got my dick stuck in it and the fire strucks had to coming blazing at full speed to determine the correct procedure to cure me of my ailment.

I died inside that moment.
Robin Williams won the academy award for best actor for this film. Matt Damon won the academy award for best screenplay (script). If it wasn't for Jack Nicholson (one of the all-time greats), Damon would've probably won the academy award for best actor too. Even the director and minnie driver got nominated for academy awards.
Moral of the story? This movie is fucking bad ass.
oh and the movie overall was nominated for best picture but lost to titanic (probably the most epic movie in history).
If it wasn't for titanic and jack nicholson being nominated in the same year (two standouts in history), this movie was owned the academy awards that year.
@TomatoBasil23 Jack Nicholson can lick on my balls. Robin Williams won best SUPPORTING actor. The Director is Gus Van Sant. And why the fuck did Chasing Amy not get nominated for best screenplay? Because the star of said better picture did this, which got more press but was not as good.
@cobybcdude obviously it's a typo, i meant to write best supporting actor in relation to robin williams. i already said that jack won best actor and damon got nominated for it. also, your last sentence doesn't make much sense, 'the star of said better picture' - which star are you referring to? and which movie are you referring to as better - good will hunting, as good as it gets, or chasing amy?
@TomatoBasil23 What I meant was Ben Affleck starred in Chasing Amy, which was slightly better than Good Will Hunting. However, since Kevin Smith got shit thrown down upon him for his last picture, Mallrats, Chasing Amy got no press, especially since it wasn't backed by a studio for production, only for distribution. Because of this, Ben and Matt got the Oscar nod instead of Chasing Amy, which was obviously the better picture. I'm saying Matt Damon should have one best actor and Smith best script
I actually used this monologue to audition for a play back in high school. It's just all memorization, plus I love the film and I've watched it countless times so it wasn't as hard to remember it. Now obviously mine wasn't nearly as good as Matt Damon's. Anyways, Shakespeare soliloquies are more difficult to memorize than this.
see if you can find a scene from Blackadder back and forth where Edmund Blackadder travels back in time and meets William Shakespeare, gets his autograph then punches him in the face saying: "that is for every schoolboy and schoolgirl for the next 400 years" lolol
good call. i recently worked for an extremely wealthy father who was a prick and treated his family like garbage, bcuz he found it easier to buy thier love.
teo829, your time on this earth is absolutely NOTHING compared to eternity. Don't pass up eternity just so you can make some money on earth for a bunch of Luciferians. To say it's not worth it is a big understatement.
Religious zealots have wreaked havoc throughout recorded time. It doesn't matter which one. Love one another and be happy if you can support yourself. I would like to be a shepherd too. There just aren't that many sheep around.
This movie was relased in 1997. At the end of his explaination as to why he should work for the NSA he says, "I could probalby be President". Gas Prices $2.50 a gallon, Manufactoring job going overseas, Service Members deployed to North Africa and the Middle East. Now that was interesting.
Enemy of the state (1998) "bad senator" and gang gets killed, Mercury rising, "bad patriot guy" gets killed. The Net (beautiful movie with sandra bullok) psycho patriot gets wasted. So, happy endings in those movies. Enemigos elegantes, limpios y locos son asesinados o arrestados y los heroes defienden la libertad del pueblo. Somebody can make an aftermath of those movies? like: Look, you killed the bad guy but now terrorist attaked us cause the bill doesnt passed. Ironic?
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve either liberty nor safety." - B. Franklin To whatever extent bin laden was or wasn't responsible for some or all of the events of 11 Sep 2001, g.w. bush's government (which is supposed to serve us rather than rule us) did, in fact, do plenty of harm to this nation in it's violation of the Constitutional separation of powers, as well as the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments.
to all you who believe in this 911 conspiracy bullshit I got a message for you:
I love my country and I want to build it up, not tear it down. And on an intellectual note, your questioning of 911 isn't enlightenment, its a refusal to accept reality and in doing so you are either treasonous (you don't believe it to be true but say it to bring the nation down) or you are just stupid type that would belive the world is a rectangle if it was popular and fashionable.
You just described yourself as a dumb, gullible patriotic who blinded believes anything he's told by his government. You love your country but your leaders couldn't give a rats ass about you. Your a dollar sign to them. Your life will literally be spent to produce more dollar bills and that's all your ever going to be worth unless you do some research and realize the truth for yourself. Go open a dictionary and read the description for conspiracy and learn something.
That's fucking hilarious you telling the Alexn guy that all that he's going to be doing is life is making money ok smart-ass so what are you going to be doing, beginning on the streets? Or slurping the dicks of 9-11 conspiracy theorists for the sake of some "loose change"?
The question isn't whether you believe 9-11 conspiracy theories the Q is do you believe the 'official' government explanation.
Please read John Perkins "Confession of an Economic Hit Man" and then read the entertaining "Term Limits" by Vince Flynn. Perhaps you can indeed build up your country!
Why do I have to be believe either conspiracy theorists or 'official' government explanations? I saw a plane crash into the trade tower on live television, and then i saw the building fall down. plane crashes into building, building falls down. i mean... right? Can't I believe in, like, gravity? I don't understand why someone's response would be: hm, i wonder how those buildings fell down... it couldn't possibly have been the enormous jet airliners that just crashed into them...
I don't want to get involved in another one of these arguments, but all the evidence provided on the video i've seen shows that a plane crashing into a reinforced building would not make it collapse.
"Unless you read different points of view, your mind will eventually close, and you'll become a prisoner to a certain point of view that you'll never question." Read Gen Smedley Butler on War, John Perkins Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, Former President of Italy Francesco Cossiga testimony of Operation Gladio throughout Europe in 1960-80's & concept of False Flag Operation. You can believe whatever you want. Total symmetrical collapse at free fall speed = controlled demolition
We haven't exactly done good test modeling of the results of airplanes crashing all the way into large buildings and then burning there for a long time before collapse.
Watching airplane crash into building and assuming collapse is due to controlled demolition = extreme skepticism- and don't get me wrong, that can be a good thing. I just think you should consider that maybe it was as simple as it looked.
"Total symmetrical collapse at free fall speed = controlled demolition"
As an Islamic convert to Christianity, I can tell you that that is exactly what is happening to Islam as we speak. And within 5 to 10 years, it's going to be nothing more than a giant molten heap of smouldering shit.
Huh? I am not Islamic, live in the USA ,and am proud of the principles of its founders with rare exception (accepting slavery). Both 'parties' are now corrupt beyond belief.
Whether any religion can sustain itself depends on its adherants confidence in beliefs, ability to demographically propagate, their ability to within their belief construct benefit / treat all well, and last be a constructive social influence on other people. IMHO (think, seek, gain wisdom, learn)
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon co-authored this entire movie...

Robin Williams won the academy award for best actor for this film. Matt Damon won the academy award for best screenplay (script). If it wasn't for Jack Nicholson (one of the all-time greats), Damon would've probably won the academy award for best actor too. Even the director and minnie driver got nominated for academy awards.
Moral of the story? This movie is fucking bad ass.
TomatoBasil23 2 years ago 91
oh and the movie overall was nominated for best picture but lost to titanic (probably the most epic movie in history).
If it wasn't for titanic and jack nicholson being nominated in the same year (two standouts in history), this movie was owned the academy awards that year.
Brilliant brilliant movie.

@TomatoBasil23 Robin won for best supporting actor actually. But yeah i agree with you its a great freaking movie..

@TomatoBasil23 Jack Nicholson can lick on my balls. Robin Williams won best SUPPORTING actor. The Director is Gus Van Sant. And why the fuck did Chasing Amy not get nominated for best screenplay? Because the star of said better picture did this, which got more press but was not as good.
cobybcdude 1 year ago
@cobybcdude obviously it's a typo, i meant to write best supporting actor in relation to robin williams. i already said that jack won best actor and damon got nominated for it. also, your last sentence doesn't make much sense, 'the star of said better picture' - which star are you referring to? and which movie are you referring to as better - good will hunting, as good as it gets, or chasing amy?
TomatoBasil23 1 year ago
@TomatoBasil23 What I meant was Ben Affleck starred in Chasing Amy, which was slightly better than Good Will Hunting. However, since Kevin Smith got shit thrown down upon him for his last picture, Mallrats, Chasing Amy got no press, especially since it wasn't backed by a studio for production, only for distribution. Because of this, Ben and Matt got the Oscar nod instead of Chasing Amy, which was obviously the better picture. I'm saying Matt Damon should have one best actor and Smith best script

I actually used this monologue to audition for a play back in high school. It's just all memorization, plus I love the film and I've watched it countless times so it wasn't as hard to remember it. Now obviously mine wasn't nearly as good as Matt Damon's. Anyways, Shakespeare soliloquies are more difficult to memorize than this.

This scene brings out the dilemma in man.
1. Work for NSA, make loads of money, feel important to the state but involves killing innocent people to further the NWO agenda.
2. Be a humble shepherd, take in the simple things of life but become a poor guy
3. What do I do, which one is reality? FUCK I had the same thoughts, somebody enlighten me!

This movie was relased in 1997. At the end of his explaination as to why he should work for the NSA he says, "I could probalby be President". Gas Prices $2.50 a gallon, Manufactoring job going overseas, Service Members deployed to North Africa and the Middle East. Now that was interesting.

Enemy of the state (1998) "bad senator" and gang gets killed, Mercury rising, "bad patriot guy" gets killed. The Net (beautiful movie with sandra bullok) psycho patriot gets wasted. So, happy endings in those movies. Enemigos elegantes, limpios y locos son asesinados o arrestados y los heroes defienden la libertad del pueblo. Somebody can make an aftermath of those movies? like: Look, you killed the bad guy but now terrorist attaked us cause the bill doesnt passed. Ironic?

Franklin To whatever extent bin laden was or wasn't responsible for some or all of the events of 11 Sep 2001, g.w. bush's government (which is supposed to serve us rather than rule us) did, in fact, do plenty of harm to this nation in it's violation of the Constitutional separation of powers, as well as the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments.

to all you who believe in this 911 conspiracy bullshit I got a message for you:
I love my country and I want to build it up, not tear it down. And on an intellectual note, your questioning of 911 isn't enlightenment, its a refusal to accept reality and in doing so you are either treasonous (you don't believe it to be true but say it to bring the nation down) or you are just stupid type that would belive the world is a rectangle if it was popular and fashionable.
Alexn1067 2 years ago
You just described yourself as a dumb, gullible patriotic who blinded believes anything he's told by his government. You love your country but your leaders couldn't give a rats ass about you. Your a dollar sign to them. Your life will literally be spent to produce more dollar bills and that's all your ever going to be worth unless you do some research and realize the truth for yourself. Go open a dictionary and read the description for conspiracy and learn something.

That's fucking hilarious you telling the Alexn guy that all that he's going to be doing is life is making money ok smart-ass so what are you going to be doing, beginning on the streets? Or slurping the dicks of 9-11 conspiracy theorists for the sake of some "loose change"?
Rocketeer1001 2 years ago
The question isn't whether you believe 9-11 conspiracy theories the Q is do you believe the 'official' government explanation.
Please read John Perkins "Confession of an Economic Hit Man" and then read the entertaining "Term Limits" by Vince Flynn. Perhaps you can indeed build up your country!
majik2hanz 2 years ago
there is no need for a government explanation, I was alive that day, I saw what happened, and I saw bin laden as he took credit for it.
unless you were stoned out of your mind that day you have no reason to doubt what happened. You might as well try to dispute reality itself.

tessler6868 2 years ago
Why do I have to be believe either conspiracy theorists or 'official' government explanations? I saw a plane crash into the trade tower on live television, and then i saw the building fall down. plane crashes into building, building falls down. i mean... right? Can't I believe in, like, gravity? I don't understand why someone's response would be: hm, i wonder how those buildings fell down... it couldn't possibly have been the enormous jet airliners that just crashed into them...
intoximacated 2 years ago 7
I don't want to get involved in another one of these arguments, but all the evidence provided on the video i've seen shows that a plane crashing into a reinforced building would not make it collapse.

"Unless you read different points of view, your mind will eventually close, and you'll become a prisoner to a certain point of view that you'll never question." Read Gen Smedley Butler on War, John Perkins Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, Former President of Italy Francesco Cossiga testimony of Operation Gladio throughout Europe in 1960-80's & concept of False Flag Operation. You can believe whatever you want. Total symmetrical collapse at free fall speed = controlled demolition
majik2hanz 2 years ago 2
We haven't exactly done good test modeling of the results of airplanes crashing all the way into large buildings and then burning there for a long time before collapse.
Watching airplane crash into building and assuming collapse is due to controlled demolition = extreme skepticism- and don't get me wrong, that can be a good thing. I just think you should consider that maybe it was as simple as it looked.

"Total symmetrical collapse at free fall speed = controlled demolition"
As an Islamic convert to Christianity, I can tell you that that is exactly what is happening to Islam as we speak. And within 5 to 10 years, it's going to be nothing more than a giant molten heap of smouldering shit.
Rocketeer1001 2 years ago
Huh? I am not Islamic, live in the USA ,and am proud of the principles of its founders with rare exception (accepting slavery). Both 'parties' are now corrupt beyond belief.
Whether any religion can sustain itself depends on its adherants confidence in beliefs, ability to demographically propagate, their ability to within their belief construct benefit / treat all well, and last be a constructive social influence on other people. IMHO (think, seek, gain wisdom, learn)
