American Logic

Chelsey 2022-03-20 09:01:21

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!

    01:07 began to enter the play, the front line is a bit long. What is the old woman's motive for Benjamin? In addition, the love between Nien and Benjamin was not enough. Imagine a girl who has just been humiliated by you in a vulgar and indecent way will forgive you so easily? The speed of emotional development is not very scientific, I think it is unrealistic. I thought it was an incest story. Benjamin's fish tank.

    Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, Elaine and I have a date, we're going for a drive.

    Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, do you think...

    Mrs. Robinson: I can make things quite unpleasant.

    Benjamin: How?

    Mrs. Robinson: In order to keep Elaine away from you, I'm prepared to tell her everything.

    Benjamin: [Ben stops the car] I don't believe you.

    Mrs. Robinson: [threateningly] Then you better start believing me.

    Benjamin: I just don't believe you would do that.

    Mrs. Robinson: Try me.

    [Ben gets out of the car]

    Elaine Robinson: [Ben barges through her bedroom door] Benjamin, I said I wasn't dressed.

    Benjamin Braddock: That woman...

    Elaine Robinson: What?

    Benjamin Braddock: That woman - that older woman that I told you about?

    Elaine Robinson: You mean that one?

    Benjamin Braddock: Yes, the married woman; that wasn't just some woman.

    Elaine Robinson: What are you telling me? Benjamin, will you just tell me what this is all about?

    [Elaine turns around, and sees her mother, Mrs. Robinson standing in the bedroom doorway; her expression turns to shock]

    Elaine Robinson: Oh, no.

    Benjamin Braddock: Elaine...

    Elaine Robinson: Oh my God.

    Benjamin Braddock: Please.

    Mrs. Robinson: Goodbye, Benjamin.
