It works wonders when beautiful verses are weaved in with plots, especially as motifs. It struck you time and time again and made an ever so strong echo in your mind and heart.
William Wordsworth is probably my favorite poet in the English literature. I love his "I Wondered Lonely". The lines where the title of this movie comes from are also impressively beautiful, making the movie as poignant as possible.
Natalie Wood is so convincing as the tormented, love-sick young girl brought up to be good. And the debut of Warren Beatty is quite successful.
Natalie's portrait of madness is not over the top, thank goodness.
The movie ends on a good note, maybe still too good to be true. People sent to a mental institute do no usually turn out that normal due to the medical conditions at that time. Still, it's Hollywood and it got to end that way.
Two teenagers falling in love in Kansas 1928, Deanie and Bud (Wood and Beatty) are the ne plus ultra of high school sweethearts, he is a jockey born with a silver spoon, she is as lovely as a storybook princess, both parents are quite content with their pairing, then why, in Kazan’s SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, apart from the fallout of the imminent and fateful Crash of 1929, their lives will be permanently scarred, and both opt for a settling-for-less middle ground.
这是一个献给濒临绝望的人的一个励志的礼物。可能是失恋，可能是人际的矛盾，可能是事业的危机。。。都没有关系，有的时候人不需要硬走上前与困难搏斗，有时候出路就在一转身。电影情节富有张力，更有价值的是寓意，已经超出了励志的范围，提供了一种哲学范畴的人生难题的解决方案。
这是一部非常感人的片子。
优美宁静的美国乡村，美丽的女孩Deanie与Bud彼此深深的相爱，他们的爱带着青春的狂热与激越，也带着青春的无奈与困惑。但是却由于家庭、社会和周围环境的原因产生误会而被迫分手。男孩虽被家人送到另一座城市的大学中深造，但却为了这段刻骨的爱而自我放逐、消沉；女孩更是因为受此打击而精神崩溃，进入了疗养院……
很多年过去，那些青春的碎片在Bud的记忆里沉淀，Bud找了个平凡的女孩结婚生子，他成了一个地道的农夫。而Deanie病好了出了疗养院后，鼓足勇气去见Bud，Bud已然是成熟男人的摸样，他高挽着裤管，卖力地清理着牛栏，他不美丽的妻子和他脏而可爱的孩子在旁边。Bud向Deanie逐一介绍了他的家人……。
片子的结尾，有人问Deanie，是否依然爱着Bud。Deanie没有回答，她轻轻地笑了笑，但眼中却孕满了泪水。她的心中默念着华兹华斯的那首诗：“再也没有灿烂的阳光，壮美的草原和艳丽的花朵，没有悲伤，我们要从现有的一切中汲取力量。”
