I want to write an article about the movie viewing experience of "The Graduate". I don't know why I always feel deja vu when I watch it. This is a borrowing to describe the confusion of graduates. At the beginning, there will be some discomfort, but at the end, you will feel wonderful. This expression is perfect! The first thing I knew was his soundtrack, "The Sound of Silence", full of silent loneliness and seemingly agitated shouts, which fit the film's theme: confused and restless graduates looking for meaning in the future. There is a detail in the film. The protagonist Benjamin is sitting in an unfamiliar hotel, waving to the waiter, his tone is clumsy and stagnant, the waiter seems to be unable to hear his voice or see his existence. This is too real. The graduates' incompatibility with the outside world is vividly displayed through the effect of drama. We are like people with aphasia, who are often overlooked because of our lack of sophistication. We have no sense of security in this unfamiliar world, so we want to understand as soon as possible that we can manipulate it and grasp it in our own hands. We are eager to prove ourselves, eager to find meaningful things, and eager to get rid of confusion and integrate into this world. Ben's clumsiness is in stark contrast to Mrs Robinson's sophistication and shrewdness, and I think that's one of the reasons why Mrs Robinson appeals to Ben, and more of a search for authenticity Excited and eager to escape the confused mood, such a depraved incoherent love made Ben even more confused. The film looks witty and interesting. There is a scene where Ben is wearing a diving helmet and a wetsuit, standing silently looking at his parents waving their hands outside, silently moving, the noise outside and the sound of his own breathing can only be heard in the helmet. Ben, at this moment, Ben seems to have escaped the turmoil and anxiety of the outside world, and then fell into the pool. This world has nothing to do with Ben. Ben in the helmet feels that everything is quiet, and there are still cheering parents outside. Everything seemed too out of place. Ben fell in love with another young girl, and despite Mrs Robinson's objections, he tried his best to pursue this true love. Of course, he encountered many difficulties during the period. He never gave up, like opposing everything, regardless of anyone's opinion, and finally She fled with the girl she loved. There were innocent and beautiful smiles on their faces, like the success of the rebellion, but in the next second, the smiles gradually faded from them under the camera, and the confusion about the next thing reappeared in their eyes. Next, there is still confusion, silent confusion.
