Before I watched this movie, I heard the sound of silence for the first time, and I fell in love with it. Because of the quiet and soothing style of the song, I listened to it as bedtime music for a long time.
But after watching "The Graduate", I no longer regard it as bedtime music.
Because the film is intertwined with too many lusts and desires, and it is also saturated with this song. The surface is calm, but it is actually undercurrent, and all kinds of uneasy emotions are rolling, like a boiling volcano, lava is rolling, and the next moment will be Break through this pretentiously quiet ground, rush out, destroy everything, destroy everything.
Just like the protagonist of this film, Ben is a young talent, handsome and very good. He won a scholarship and has a bright future. He is the pride of his parents. His parents graduated and threw a party for him. It seemed that everything went well.
However, from the beginning of the film, Benn seemed out of place at this party with Benn as the protagonist. He wanted to escape from these overzealous crowds, but escaping caused him to encounter a greater crisis, and the trajectory of his life was also deviated. , like a derailed train out of control, driving off a cliff and heading for destruction.
The romantic Mrs. Robinson used every possible means to seduce and tease Ben. Ben's dullness and ignorance are evident. At this time, he was like a blank sheet of paper, but he did not escape the snares of desire, perhaps because he seemed to be honest. In fact, there has always been an element of restlessness lurking in his quiet personality. At this moment, when he encounters a kind of fire, it will burn immediately.
The first time Mrs. Robinson was asked to go to the hotel, Ben was overwhelmed with nervousness, and even hesitated, condemned by a deep-rooted moral sense. Mrs. Robinson, on the other hand, seemed to be at ease, and was amused by his childish and clumsy behavior.
But all the struggles were in vain, and Ben ended up being a prisoner of desire and loyalty.
Perhaps sinking into this lust allows him to temporarily escape from the confusion in life. After all, this is a brand new experience. Bold, immoral, unethical, and deformed, it adds excitement to the fog-like life. flavoring agent.
And the most ardent desires of a vigorous young man have also been relieved. People are always prone to indulging in the pleasures of the flesh, escaping from reality in short-term enjoyment, and it is also the easiest to consume people's will and spirit.
Ben soon met true love. Elaine is young, pure and beautiful, and Ben couldn't refuse Elaine. He should have pushed her away from her, but he was not consciously approaching her. And Benn's love with her pulled him out, who had lost his head in lust, like a shower of rain, dispelling the chaos in his mind, allowing him to regain the spirit and strength that a young man should have.
When the affair between Benn and Mrs. Robinson was exposed, Elaine, as a daughter, could not accept that her mother had a physical relationship with her boyfriend. All this made her like a lightning strike, collapsed and unacceptable. .
Ben went to save Elaine, doing everything like a madman who lost his mind. Facts have proved that as long as he is shameless and hooligan, he can still restore his lover who has been deeply hurt by him.
But no one will fulfill them. Under the arrangement of her parents, Elaine is about to marry someone else.
At this time, Ben seemed to be a beast that escaped from the cage, desperate, crazy, and desperate.
Finally they escaped from the wedding chapel, and the two jumped on the bus hand in hand, which should have been lighthearted at the moment, but the expressions on their faces were not so lighthearted, and deeper worries crept onto their faces.
What the future holds, no one knows.
This is also the most talked about scene in the film.
This is an attempt by young people to be confused about the future, anxious, confused, anxious, eager to find a way out, trying to break through the fog of life. They tried their best to escape from the current state of life. Although the process was full of twists and turns, full of deviant, full of unethical and unethical, they ran rampant, regardless of whether they were ignorant, rebelled against the world, even if their heads were broken and bloody, but in the end they still failed.
Whatever they have been through, the future is unknowable to them.
They are fighting a doomed war, and they can never escape their confusion.
But this war will never stop.
