Graduation is a load-bearing word. In this article, the male protagonist is undoubtedly excellent, but he is very confused, anxious and helpless. He has always lived the way his parents wanted. He wants, but he doesn't know what he wants. As if I was in my current state. He was tempted, he couldn't resist, he wanted to grab the last straw in his confusion, or he wanted to find an existence that would make him not confused, and then he was addicted to the two scenes that the film loved the most, one was him in When diving in front of everyone, wearing a diving suit, falling into a silent world, listening to the breathing of our own life, jumping into the sea, isolating everything, maybe there are times, when we are confused, we stop and think, want to hear our own voice, our own Breathe, walk on the silent road that has no end to the day, and immerse yourself in your own world.

After that, he had a relationship with the heroine's mother for the first time. At first, he was helpless and embarrassed, and then became numb and addicted. The relationship between them was just a simple sexual relationship. He gradually felt empty and helpless until he met The person he wanted to meet.

The end of the film is very sad. The heroine and him left the church desperately. From the joy and excitement at the beginning to the panic and deeper despair when they met each other, as the bus went away, the future was still unclear.

But young is possible, who says it isn't?

The Graduate quotes

  • Mr. Robinson: Do you ummm... do you want to tell me *why* you did it

    Benjamin: Mr. Robinson!

    Mr. Robinson: Do you have a special grudge against me? Do you feel a particularly strong resentment? Is there something I've said that's caused this contempt, or is it just things I stand for that you despise?

  • Benjamin: Listen to me. What happened between Mrs. Robinson and me was nothing. It didn't mean anything. We might just as well have been shaking hands.

    Mr. Robinson: Shaking hands? Well, that's not saying much for my wife, is it?
