(I think the story alone is not very fulfilling, so Samsung. It is more of a shooting technique that I don't understand very well.)
Recently, a question has been puzzling me. Why do I have a stable job after graduating from graduate school, and I have been anxious all the time. I am afraid of going to bed every day because I know that I will never fall asleep earlier than two o'clock, and I will not open my eyes later than seven o'clock. Today's mobile phone push, oh, the screen time is 20% more than last week.
Did the epidemic disrupt my rhythm, maybe 10%. If there was no epidemic, I should be busy sorting out graduation materials, preparing graduation photos, sending graduation gifts to each other and saying goodbye to friends who have been with them for seven years.
After answering the defense, the goal is gone all of a sudden, and it is completely possible to disconnect from the outside world. How nervous before, how confused after that. There's nothing to do...what am I worrying about, my present, my future, or like Ben's answer, I don't know what I'm worrying about. Ben said he wanted to be special, and I thought about it, I wanted to see the bigger world. Yet comfort now is like boiling a frog in warm water, and I'm being boiled.
Ben and Elaine are hard to be happy in my opinion. Ben grabbed his wife but betrayed his family. Sadly, the family is his only source of income. Does he really love Elaine? I don't think so. They just had a burger in the car, and Elaine was just expressing her understanding of his college life. Is Elaine really relieved? Ben slept with her mother! Running to catch up with the bus, after the two laughed, the helpless, empty look came back little by little. At the age of 20, maybe he was still a child at heart. Elaine looked at Ben with a smile, but Ben didn't give her the slightest response. When life is at a loss, whether to place more hope on sex and feelings, and find an outlet through exciting feelings and fresh love, so Ben experienced Mrs.Robinson and Mrs.Robinson's daughter Elaine. Elaine is Ben's supposedly seemingly correct target, a victim of Ben's selfish search for existence, and of course he still fails, fails, fails! There is no failure without youth, ho, what a glossy excuse. Because I am also deeply involved in it, but can not agree.
Graduation always has many topics, youth, parting, growth, confusion. An excellent character in school, but who will be in the larger community. The skin of the painting was torn apart, and what he faced was no longer a treadmill at a constant speed, but a boat that was forced to slow down and speed up at any time, and had to deal with unexpected wind and waves. Only then did I realize that the arranged life that I always wanted to resist was just my imagination, or I was brainwashed by the crowd, and the thoughts were really beautiful. Who would arrange it? Work can be arranged, even relationships can be arranged, but the final position has to be found by yourself. The arrangement is only superficial. No one has the ability to arrange your position in the society and the position you think you are in the society. So all the confusion is looking for an answer - who am I?
The movie doesn't give a solution, and Ben is still free. Finding a place to find existence is an eternal topic. Society is changing, and every generation has reasons for confusion. Habits are hidden in smaller communities, at home, in social accounts, in sudden fluff, in gossip news, and in this post-truth era, one after another has been reversal. The originally fragmented life has become even more fragmented. I think I have to do it, put down the phone, stop acting, communicate more and browse less. Before rejecting something new, think about whether the rejection is fear or genuine disgust. Since you have a little fantasies about art, let’s put the fantasies into action first. Although it is not necessary to write if you want to write, or to draw if you want to draw, you will definitely see new things, the bigger world that I hope for. If you can't figure it out, get moving. If you stay in the nest for too long, you will always lose blood.
Maybe the text also reflects my confusion itself, but it seems that there can be a little action. I thought I would lament the regret of graduation and the sadness of parting, but in reality, it is more anxiety and confusion. Writing something is not only about sorting out the stories in the movie, but more about sorting out myself selfishly. Although this is not the purpose, it often gives me some surprises.
