vor 40 jahren begründete der film die reifeprüfung die karriere von dustin hoffman und stand am anfang einer reihe von filmen, die die sozialisation der generation der sogenannten 68er begleitete. thema: widerstand gegen das establishment (wie abgeschmackt das heute klingt!). anläßlich der wiederauflage der reifeprüfung auf dvd (für die jüngsten unter uns: dustin hoffman, anne bancroft, simon&garfunkel) bringt freshair eine themensendung (ENG), als podcast downloadbar.
dazu ein bemerkenswerter kommentar (ENG) des filmkritikers john powers (vogue). mrs. robinson wird rehabilitiert: ich denke, das hat sie sich wirklich verdient! sauseschritt transkribiert als serviceleistung für seine treuen leser/innen:
(...) it was easy for many of us to project our own vague feelings of alienation on rebellion lane, because the rebellion did not make any demands, didn´t confer any responsibilities, didn´t proof irrevocable. their rebel attitudes do often look dangerous or apocalyptic but in their way they prooved as safely suburban as we were all rebelling against. small wonder that so many iconoclastic young boomers like ben and alaine would turn into middle aged bourgeois bohemiens. I now grasp that the real outcast is of course mrs. robinson in an area before women´s lib tries to escape the velvet prison of housewiferey in ways that boys like me found very scary. although she is by far the film´s most interesting character I pick her over benjamin and alaine anytime (...) maybe so, but today she is the character who feels the most daring, the most unconventional and the most human, she is the real rebel without a cause. I know I am saying this 40 years too late, but here is to you, mrs. robinson. (...)
die brandneue dvd ist bei amazon erhältlich.
