On the eve of Teachers' Day, we invite you to revisit the classic film Good Will Hunting. The relationship between the rebellious mathematical genius Will and psychology professor Sean reminds us of the profound power of guidance and mentorship. Please watch the film at home beforehand and bring a book related to education, personal growth, psychology, or the teacher-student relationship. We will share our reflections on both the film and our chosen books, and everyone is welcome to share personal experiences. Perhaps we have all met a teacher who changed our lives, or perhaps we wish we had. Through this discussion, we hope to explore the power of mentorship and find a way to reconcile with past regrets.
Big Fish explores the stories we tell about our lives—and how they shape the way others remember us. Through a son trying to understand his larger-than-life father, the film invites us to rethink truth, memory, love, and the meaning we give to an ordinary life.
For this film book club, please watch the film beforehand and bring a book that reflects a particular way of seeing life, perhaps one about family, memory, love, storytelling, or simply a book that changed how you see the world. We’ll share our thoughts on the film, our chosen books, and the stories that have shaped us. If your life were a book, how would you choose to tell it?
