Different than alternative lifestyle (often used to describe being part of the LGBTQ+ community), alternate lifestyle describes a life outside the social norms. It may include making money by selling drugs, living as part of a gang, living on the streets by choice, choosing a job of stealing/robbery instead of a law abiding legal job. Living an alternate lifestyle is often a choice by someone (at first), where someone is choosing to live alternate to the lifestyle they are currently able to live. It is not someone living without a house due to job loss, or other unfortunate circumstances, it it a chosen lifetyle for whatever reason (looks/sounds cooler than what they are doing, friends are doing it, they are mad at parents and are choosing to live away instead of going home.).

Ahh, yeah his parents are looking for him.

Get the Alternative mug.A few unhappy endings that an audience wouldn't like that would turn Good Will Hunting from a comedy to something else are Matt Damon doesn't go to California to look for the girl, she cries inconsolable for a short while, then marries another guy, while Matt Damon stays in Boston going to Little League games long enough for Ben Affleck to follow through on his promise of killing him (a fact and not a threat in his words). Ben Affleck would think he was doing the world a favor, kind of like the Of Mice and Men story, and puts a bullet in the back of his head down by the river, dropping his body to the bottom. Another possibility Robin Williams provided was for Matt Damon to become another unabomber, perhaps he puts a bomb in the mailbox for Skylar's husband to open, but instead of him being the one to check the mail that day, Skylar is disfigured forever or killed by the bomb when she opens the mailbox, and Matt Damon has to live with that for the rest of his life. There's more possibilities than just those two that nobody explored.
An alternate Good Will Hunting ending would have been more interesting than the one the audience got.
