      not a romance

      Ben graduated. Facing the blessings and expectations of his family and friends, he was very confused. At the beginning of the film, he was restrained by the old woman. His ignorance and helplessness can only be found in the old woman for some comfort, but it is difficult for the two to have a spiritual intersection. It is difficult for young people who have just entered the society to have their own opinions. He lives in the palm of the existing society and must act according to the inherent...

      Pretentious presentation of youth subcultures

      Petite Dustin Hoffman is still so young at this time, maybe his shoulders are not broad enough, which is different from the idol temperament of the previous male protagonists, but the youthful interpretation interprets the theme of this film, that is, youth subculture ... During the same period of the film, the subculture in the United States emerged after World War II. In addition to the feminist movement, the gay movement, and the black movement, young people wanted to express themselves and...

      Graduates - truly reformed, beautiful ideals can still be realized.

      The film became interesting from the time that I wanted to marry Irene; originally I only wanted to give the film two or three stars, and I began to consider giving it four stars. After Ben fell into that terrifying mud pit, when he had to meet Irene, he couldn't forgive himself, but he couldn't see the future either. Only after breaking up with the past and marrying Irene sincerely can he recover himself and gain her understanding; thus, he insisted on confessing to Irene again and...

      graduates see graduates

      I sat in the classroom this afternoon and watched the graduates. The last time I saw a clip of it was exactly four years ago, in the same classroom, although I just watched some clips inside. From the beginning of the opening song, my tears were rolling in my eyes, because I was also graduating, and the sound of silence made me very confused and sad.

      Now is the time to watch this movie, and I know that if I watch it earlier, I will feel a little different. The only thing that makes me...

      The Graduate

      Dustin Hoffman lost his life at a young age and became a dementia man.
      Can't the film critic hide it?

      Ben's emotions still stay on SEx: I
      accidentally saw the spoiler, I glanced at it, and saw "Escape from Marriage".
      My reaction at that time was:

      Ben seems to have changed, no tryst, no confusion, Get on the right track in life. Then, at the wedding with Elaine, he suddenly ran away from the marriage and left alone.

      The music is good:

      I have...

      "The Graduate" reflects the growth of young people and their resistance to adult society. The film appeared in a blockbuster manner and became a pivotal masterpiece in the "New Hollywood Film". The first I heard about this movie was the trailer I saw on CCAV-6 in junior high school. After hearing the familiar "Sound of Silence", I knew it was the soundtrack of this movie. It was only after graduating from college that I realized that the film was terrifyingly...

      There is an important detail here. It was Xiao Xianrou who went to the wedding scene and snatched the bride away. He blocked a group of "old diehards" in the church with a cross. I personally feel that this place has some hints. The movie was set in 1967, and at that time, America was using the new ideas of young people as its biggest banner. Calls for sexual freedom, moral freedom, etc. have a great impact on tradition. I think that's one of the reasons this movie was...

      My favorite ending has mixed feelings every time I watch it. I never get tired of listening to SG's classic songs. The last rebellion and persistence are the best attitude of a confused youth. It is better to give it a try than to be raped by society. What three views do young people want? , the slightly lame plot can be better understood in the context of the late 1960s. The ecstasy clip after the break, the new wave-like photography skills of Sertis, the push-pull depth of field of the diving...

      The soundtrack is classic and has been sung from generation to generation. The plot is ups and downs, the male protagonist is confused and troubled, and his heart is empty and lonely, so carnal desires fill the loneliness, but the cravings are hard to fill, and the deeper and deeper he gets, and then he finds his true...
