★★★★★★★★☆☆
 
  In Detroit America 1962, when there was deep-rooted racial discrimination of black people, there were three black country girls who dreamed of succeeding in the singing world. One day a man noticed their talent and produced them. They invented hit songs one after another and joined top star, but....

I went to see this with my friend two years ago, but I still remember having goosebumps because this is musical movie and Beyonce, Jennifer, Eddie sang very powerfully and soulfully. I was kept overwhelmed their outstanding singing ability. There were many good songs. This movie seems to be success story, but it contains jealousy, friendship, love, stratagem, betrayal, success and setback. So you can enjoy! I recommend you not only watch this movie, but also borrow or buy the sound track!!

In South Boston Will Hunting(Matt), a young man who is a genius at math, works as a cleaner in a prestigious college. One day math professor finds Will's great talent and tries to develop his talent. But Will often gets into trouble with the police and is under probation. Then the professor let him meet a counselor Sean(Robin). Will has trauma and won't open his heart to people, but the counselor begins to change his heart...

This story shows what a young man is getting matured . It made me consider about human connection, love, life and courage. I felt refreshed when I have finished this movie. So I recommend this movie. If you watch this, you can see young Matt Damon!! He is very cool and his acting is very great! I want to watch this movie again some years later.
