She tells Benjamin that she finds him attractive and wants him to know that she is available to him. Mr. Robinson arrives home but neither sees nor suspects anything.

Through The Olive Trees 橄欖樹下的情人
Hossein Rezai plays a local stonemason turned actor who, outside the film set, makes a marriage proposal to his leading lady, a student recently orphaned after the earthquake.

Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), Knox Overstreet (Josh Charles), Charlie Dalton (Gale Hansen), Richard Cameron (Dylan Kussman), Steven Meeks (Allelon Ruggiero), and Gerard Pitts (James Waterston) are senior students of the Welton Academy prep school, whose ethos is defined by the headmaster Gale Nolan (Norman Lloyd) as "tradition, honour, discipline and excellence". Both Neil and Todd are under harsh parental pressure to become a doctor and a lawyer respectively, but Todd wants to be a writer and Neil wants to be an actor.
The teaching methods of their new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), are unorthodox by Welton standards, first exiting the class room whistling the 1812 Overture tune to lead the students down before the class photos of long since aged and passed alumnus to impress the youths with the importance of carpe diem or seize the day. He convinces the students must address him "O Captain! My Captain!" in reference to a Walt Whitman poem if they feel daring. In another class, after having Neil read aloud their poetry textbook introduction prescribing a mathematical formula to rate a poem's quality, he instructs his pupils to rip the introduction pages out, to the amazement of one of his colleagues...

推薦理由：羅賓·威廉姆斯會讓你不由地想起和你一起抽煙喝酒，一起公然對抗學校，甚至一起偷雞摸狗的輔導員老師。你那種不羈的少年意氣和無因反叛，也許會在這部電影之后，化作嘴角的一抹微笑，在若干年后時時地悄然泛起。
