I sat in the classroom this afternoon and watched the graduates. The last time I saw a clip of it was exactly four years ago, in the same classroom, although I just watched some clips inside. From the beginning of the opening song, my tears were rolling in my eyes, because I was also graduating, and the sound of silence made me very confused and sad.

Now is the time to watch this movie, and I know that if I watch it earlier, I will feel a little different. The only thing that makes me relaxed in the film is when Benjamin's dad asks him to apply for graduate school, I'm relieved that I have a place to go, but Other than that, I feel Benjamin's every breath.

Benjamin and Mrs Robinson were lying in their own room and saw their parents talking in the restaurant, so they closed the door without hesitation. This scene turned out to be the most touching scene in the whole movie. When everyone has a secret, he doesn't dare to speak or doesn't want to speak. It seems that the more he talks, the more the secret will be exposed. It is probably at this time that the child and the parents have a deep estrangement. Sometimes it's because of talking to some people that you will keep reminding yourself of the mistakes you have made, so seeing that person is like seeing your deep sin, but no matter what the reason is, at that moment you should close the door and put it away. Lock yourself up.

When it comes to making mistakes, it seems that many people have done very stupid things, and they often do not realize what they are doing when doing it. Many times it is also due to the pressure of life that causes them to emotionally break down or get lost, but wait until they wake up. But regret it. I think this has happened to many people, but those who have experienced it probably know how bizarre and embarrassing and shameful these things are. A lot of things have happened and they can't change anything. The only thing I can do is get back to the right track and do what you are supposed to do. This is probably the biggest truth this movie can teach me. To put it bluntly, no matter what. How to have to move on ah. But no matter what I think people have a memory, I believe Benjamin will treat Elaine well in the future. A lot of people's experiences are probably like chickenpox. Once it happens, it won't happen again. No matter how unpleasant that process is in the past, it is in the past.

It seems that everyone has been confused about the future, but you can't turn around even if you walk on a path. Writing here, I remembered the solution about the graduate, which is the path that the poem I learned in the previous Chinese textbook did not choose.

The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

As the poem says, life is the way leads on to way, every step you choose determines your next step, and life is too short to take a few come backs. At this time, I really want to see how I am doing in a parallel world on a certain planet in the universe. Is it because of a small incident that I have embarked on a completely different path? Is she envious of me or am I envious of her?
