My Feeling of The Graduate
2015-11-23

This is an old and classical movie which goes that a graduate, Ban, just graduates from university and gets scholarship which makes his parents very proud. However, Ban seems unhappy in that he concerns his future. It is at that time that Mrs. Robinson seduces him. Disappointed to the situation, Ban has an affair with Mrs. Robinson. What makes the story complicated is that Ban’s parents ask him to have a date with Elaine who is Mrs. Robinson’s daughter. It isn’t long before Elaine figures out their affair and she is crazy and disappointed. Thus she leaves for Berkeley. However, to my surprise, Elaine should be together with Ban finally.

Actually, when I first look at Ban’s eyes, I have sympathy for Ban and even worry about him. And when he feels confused about his future, I have the same feeling with him. Because of in less than two years, I will face the similar situation and it may be more trouble. There is another factor that Ban walks on the wrong way. He has nobody to communicate with. In my opinion, communication is the key to living an extraordinary life in the future. No matter when and where you are, it is important to associate with others. Had Ban a chance to sit down calmly and talk with his parents, he wouldn’t meet so much trouble and he would have the romantic relationship with Elaine without any impediment.

And then, if I were Elaine, I couldn’t accept Ban again no matter how much I love him. Because I regard Ban as a weak and incompetent man. He should have been a man that lots of people take proud of. But he can’t bear the pressure and can’t resist the temptation. And the vital reason that I can’t accept him again is that he has an affair with Elaine’s mother. How could it happen?

All in all, I feel pity for Ban but I also hate Ban. As students who are about to graduate, we can learn lessons from Ban. We must make a constructive plan and change it when necessary. We should talk with people around us. We shouldn’t escape but to face it bravely. Whatever difficult there will be, we can find a way out!
