American Logic

It should be admitted that the songs in "The Graduate" are still good. After listening to it for many years, I was able to see the movie today. I thought it was a very serious and romantic movie, but I didn't expect it to have a slow pace, absurd plot, and the performance of the characters violated the logic of reality. It was very literary and depressing. In the name of love, the protagonist can rob other people's wives. If this unethical thing happens, he should be punished or leave quietly. Because Joseph in the Bible was innocent, but he was imprisoned for a false accusation; in "Thunderstorm", several people died, which seems to be a daily report; in "Infidelity", there was a murder case. However, "The Graduate" is stable, the law can't stop him, and morality can't stop him. Not only is he not afraid of any embarrassment, he even goes to the wedding to grab the bride. What's even more incomprehensible is that the girl thought he was good and finally got married. American logic is indeed powerful, powerful beyond human comprehension. "Love", how many crimes are committed in your name!
