Good Wilt Hunting Movie Discussion 11/23/06

[Chaos Wielder]

First of all, I have to say that I really loved, not just liked, LOVED this tv movie! It had so much heart and the humor balanced it out nicely as well. There were certainly many tear-worthy moments found throughout the whole thing and I am extremely impressed with how much Wilt's character was brought out in the movie. I can definitely say that I now have even more respect for him as a character and as impossible as this might have seemed at one point...I think I actually like him even more now! XD I am also even impressed with his creator for certain reasons that were found toward the end (I won't mention SPECIFIC reasons because I want to stay as FAR away as I can from spoilers right now mainly because of the fact that there might STILL be people that didn't get a chance to see the movie yet! But the rest of you that have seen it might know what I mean XP). I give this movie an A, simple as that.

Even though the questions actually arose of what happened to her kid, and why she was there all alone, you never get the answer. Technically even if she answered we wouldn’t be able to understand her, but still. Coco holds even more mystery then Wilt. Whilst now we know where Wilt came from, and how he came about; Coco is still unknown. Well sure, through information leaked on the internet (“Thank Goodness the internet offers nobody any privacy!” ~ Adam) we know she was created on that island by the child who survived a plane crash. But what happened to her child? Why did Coco stay behind? Maybe her child was in fact rescued, but Coco felt she was better off staying on the island where she had grown up. It would have been painful for them to separate like that, but maybe her child also felt Coco was better at home alone on an island. But we won’t know until we finally see what happened to her.

I totally agree with you-I was just a WEE bit disappointed with Coco's role considering the fact that she has a very mysterious past as well and it really wasn't resolved much at all here. In fact, I think it brought up even more questions than before! (Perhaps a tv movie based on Coco will solve that? )

What really surprised me was how Wilt REALLY lost his arm and damaged his eye! At one point (around when I saw seasons 1 and 2) I thought that something similar to that DID happen, but there were "supposedly" too many hints thrown in some of the other episodes (namely the later seasons) that it possibly could've been something...different...to say the least (I don't want to give away any spoilers and plus, I don't feel like going over the hints here-I'm sure some of us have posted them somewhere in the Wilt thread, though), but I was wrong!

I'm listing this as a semi-spoiler just to be safe:

But personally, I was actually glad that I WAS wrong because it would've been bad to have him getting hurt like that intentionally. It's nice that he did something so noble and brave instead. I'm glad it DID turn out to be that way because it's better than it being over-the-top violent as some people thought at one point.

And yes, the credits were very funny! XD
