Not just young people

"I don't know" is often said in the film, they are not running away, they really don't know what to do next, they are confused and at a loss. But in fact, middle-aged people don't know it. They are also in a state of confusion, but they always pretend to be very clear and understand, and like to be self-righteous to be experienced guides, so this sentence is often said by young people. But in fact, we have been vulnerable and confused at every stage of life, but maybe we will admit it when we are young, but the more we grow up, the more we want to escape and are reluctant to admit it. We have never been out of confusion in our life, or we have never been out of confusion at the right stage. It is always one step too late to truly discover, face up to, and recognize our confusion and confusion, and then proceed to the confusion that we have not recognized in the next stage. (The confusion of young people is that the future is not a foregone conclusion, everything is unknown, they have a lot of things to grab, and they don’t know where to grab it: while the future of adults is given, they are living in a fixed life In fact, adults should be more depressed, because it seems that everyone defaults that young people can be confused, and adults do not seem qualified to talk about it)

    The smiles of the last two gradually solidified, and the exhausted and dazed faces reappeared on their faces, just like life, which will always return to boring, repeating and wave after wave of confused cages, it is so cruel.

    Hou Lang discounted the book "Invisible Edit", so I reviewed the recent old film ING. This is the kind of "famous but I can't see it". Especially when I was young, I didn't even get the jokes. After the age of the protagonist, the editor, director, and editor are eager to find a target for that kind of emptiness and irritability-even if blindly, it is too accurate to capture this boring psychology.

The Graduate quotes

  • Mr. McCleery: [asks Benjamin why he is in Berkeley] I just like to know what my boys are up to.

    Mr. McCleery: You aren't one of those agitators, are you?

    Benjamin: What?

    Mr. McCleery: I hate 'em. I won't stand for it.

  • Benjamin: It's like I was playing some kind of game, but the rules don't make any sense to me. They're being made up by all the wrong people. I mean no one makes them up. They seem to make themselves up.
