the graduate毕业生观后感

I don’t like the film so much, but found something interesting in it. As a graduate like Ben, I have the same confusion like him.We both don’t know what to do about our future.

Without wonderful fightings, or anything else that were necessary for a good movie, the film is just soso. But it occured to me that with a reputation of having affected a whole generation of Americans ,it should be more than a normal ethics film. But after the first watching,I decided that there was nothing special.

It was not like what I’d imagined. There must be something more in the film. So I tried to search for some others’comments about the film to help me get a deeper understanding . Then I got to know it was such a story:

Ben, as a graduate, was confused about his future. Though he performed excellent academics, maybe that was just a way to pleasant his parents who liked to flaunt and used to control nearly everything of Ben, arranging everything from dating with Elian to the foolish show in the swimming pool. Ben’s voice was never heard and he seemed accustomed to it until he mat Elian who made Ben braver. Maybe she become his temporary goal of life at that period. Ben pursued for this goal bravely. He

announced to his parents his decision to marry Elian, and left them in amazement and confusion. Even he finally ran into the wedding church, crying ‘Elian !’’Elian !’, then stroke though all his ‘enemies’ in the crowded church with Elian in hand, crushed out of the church and successfully jumped onto a bus together. Different from other disgusting and shallow films, the story didn’t end by the protagonists kissing and living together happily forever. After the passion, their expressions changed, which told me that they didn’t know what to do next. Just like the bus heading for somewhere unknown, they don’t know where themselves should be heading for, just like me.
