又看了一遍,完全是傑作。結尾在教堂,媽媽提醒Elaine「it‘s too late」,Elaine喊「not for me」。我才驚覺,這故事最悲哀的人物正是Mrs. Robinson。她懷了Elaine,不得不嫁給不愛的老公,「too late」是時代給她的教條。她何嘗不想像女兒一樣不顧一切,但無能為力,只能困在婚姻中,醉生夢死地喝酒
How do you unwrap the gift, parents? It indeed seems no easier than the Navier-Stokes for many supports to raise a talent. Frank prefers protecting the child's psychological health and helping her growth in personality with empathy and affectionate environment to fully exploring her potential before finding a better balance between the two, while Mary's grandma insists that extraordinary people is doom to be away from the ordinary and tries to isolate children from any close relationship, which in her eyes is but distraction from success. Extraordinary doesn't mean abnormal, arrogant or alone, and doesn't necessarily lead to a happy life. A gift is a gift only when it's properly unwrapped.
