...Eastern college, an awfully confused alienation. His father asks, "Well, what do you want?" and a mumbling "I don't know" is most he manages. This in 1967 when anti-war protest was at its heyday! The Beats who issued position papers in the 50s had a much clearer idea of what they were rejecting. Moreover, the movie obfuscates the fundamental question it asks--what is Benjamin Braddock to do with his life?--with a fairy tale convention--love tried, tested and won, to be carried off in an orange bus.
