As an educational and inspirational work, Thorne's methods are not disgusting persuasion, nor aggressive persuasion and preaching. His greatest charm lies in the way of alternating silence and eruption, which makes young and frivolous guys suddenly discover their stupidity at the moment of wantonly slandering others, and when trying to attack others with huge knowledge reserves, they know that their talents may not erupt in the right place.

Behind the scenes:
1. Director gus van sant once asked Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to rewrite the script so that Chuck, played by Ben, died in a construction accident. Damon and Affleck were reluctant, but they rewritten the script. As a result, Van Sant read it and admitted that it was a bad idea. ?
The picture hanging in Professor Thorne's office was painted by director gus van sant. ?
Thorne and Will are in the office. When Thorne told some funny stories about his dead wife, those lines were freely played by robin williams, which may be the reason why Matt Damon laughed so hard. The lens of the film is shaking at this time, which is also the reason.
