The Confused Young Boy
We started the new semester with the film called "The Graduate". It tells a story about a young boy Benjamin who is a new graduated from college and a middle aged woman Mrs. Robinson who tries to seduce Benjamin.
The whole story shows us what teenagers need sexually and emotionally. Also how they struggle when they really feel in love.
The process Benjamin has is passed by every healthy person. That duration is a kind of time which people recognise their body, feelings to opposite sex and role in society. Also it is times of firsts. Therefore, it is healthy to meet true people who can advise resonable.
Benjamin started to learn woman's body by Mrs. Robinson. it was only a sexual relationship but it was not ethic in society. Even though it is wrong, Benjamin wanted to have this kind of relationship because it was a natural desire and there were no one to show him the true ways. Actually, there was no one to try to listen and understand Benjamin and he hugged the first person who respond his needs. She can be a exit door for Ben from the confusion in his mind. But it was not an escape because that situation will affect the real love of Ben.
He found the innocence in Elaine. He felt in love to Elaine but there was a problem. She was Mrs. Robinson's daughter. But he didn't withdraw from Elaine. Because the real requirement of Benjamin was the pure and innocent relationship with a woman. All people he surrounded care about only for themselves and have expectations about Benjamin, But Elaine was not.

It was really attractive movie because it points out the adolescences who are ignored and neclected. In additon, during the watcing movie I tought that who Benjamin looks like. At the end of movie, in the cast, I learnt that he was Dustin Hoffman :)
finaly, i recommend everybody to watch "the graduate"
