おはようございます。
海外ではそろそろ卒業式のシーズン。以下は卒業時によくある企画です。どこも同じ。
Graduation Movies: 5 We Love, 5 We Hate
Some movies graduate magna cum laude. Others are fifth-year seniors.
Graduation can either come as a rude awakening or a beautiful escape.
Take high school: As it turns out, it’s an unstable, unpleasant society run by teenaged tyrants that amounts to very little in the long run. You were crowned at a dance. You were an undefeated mathlete. Good for you, but now you have to get packing, get a job, and get to know other humans using only your personality. Good luck with that.
And then there's college graduation. You feel so smart. You borrowed an irrational sum of money and now you’re going to pay it all back using your “English major.”
In truth, there are certain unpleasantries that come with graduation. Maybe that’s why we love to lose ourselves in dumb movies that gloss over the harsh reality. Not all of them are crap, though, so enjoy this list of some of the best and worst commencement-themed movies.
一見してmathleteはmathとleteの合成語だと分かります。そう，これは「数学オリンピックの参加者」です。「数学ができる人，（ときに）数学オタク」という意味でも使われるようになりました。（UG）
