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 Graduate quotes

  • Mr. Robinson: Do you ummm... do you want to tell me *why* you did it

    Benjamin: Mr. Robinson!

    Mr. Robinson: Do you have a special grudge against me? Do you feel a particularly strong resentment? Is there something I've said that's caused this contempt, or is it just things I stand for that you despise?

  • Benjamin: Listen to me. What happened between Mrs. Robinson and me was nothing. It didn't mean anything. We might just as well have been shaking hands.

    Mr. Robinson: Shaking hands? Well, that's not saying much for my wife, is it?
