Graduates - truly reformed, beautiful ideals can still be realized.

The film became interesting from the time that I wanted to marry Irene; originally I only wanted to give the film two or three stars, and I began to consider giving it four stars. After Ben fell into that terrifying mud pit, when he had to meet Irene, he couldn't forgive himself, but he couldn't see the future either. Only after breaking up with the past and marrying Irene sincerely can he recover himself and gain her understanding; thus, he insisted on confessing to Irene again and again, despite being driven to a dead end by the Robinsons and overcoming all difficulties, and finally rushed into the church and put what was going on now. Irene, who was holding the wedding, pulled out; and Irene saw the real Ben in time and was willing to follow him out of the church. The end of the film is great, with Ben and Irene catching up to a bus and sitting in the last row, all of whom are looking back at the two: one in a wedding dress and one sweating; which means They will have a great future. The film seems to give people two inspirations: First, no one can do anything ethical, and second, only by making a complete break with the past and truly washing the face of the new revolution, beautiful ideals and sincere wishes can still be realized. And the viper-like Mrs. Robinson in the film is not worth mentioning and will not end well.
