I Have Alot of Sadness In My Heart

Gonna graduate soon. Have no friends. Family doesn't care about me. Mom wants to throw me a party. For what? I don't have friends and only see family on holidays so I don't really care to see them for graduation. What are we gonna talk about? Thanksgiving? That was the last time I have and will have seen them...

Plus I'm introverted and do not like talking about myself. Gonna be a repeat of highschool graduation. Graduated and came home.

😓

I am sooooo old. Dustin Hoffman is the graduate. HIS folks give him a party to which they invite all THEIR friends. They make him try on the scuba gear they got him for a graduation present. Then he has an affair with the mother of the girl he loves.

@Mamapolo2016 I knew where it was, Hoffman's big break.

Mamapolo2016 · F

Where it was? You mean the location where it was shot?

@Mamapolo2016 Actually I meant what, I really don't remember where, but it has been a number of years since I watched it.

@lasergraph It was not only Hoffman's big break but Simon and Garfunkel as well.

Well, yeah. I knew it when it wss a kid. ANd I"m not sure where it was filmed.

@lasergraph yes, wonderful soundtrack. Too bad he can't keep his hands to himself. I'm struggling about whether it's okay to support the work of an actor (or anybody else) who behaves so badly. Bill Cosby's another. And artists have been notoriously badly behaved for a very long time. Does this mean we can't watch Dustin Hoffman act WELL anymore?

@Mamapolo2016 I know, it took a while for me to believe Bill Cosby was guilty but a lot less time for the rest. Power corrupts and I think there was an attitude, especially in Hollywood, that it was okay. They thought it was business as usual but it finally caught up to them.

Mamapolo2016 · F

Yes, and that's terrific. And at our age, you and I have seen a lot of it, if on a lesser scale (maybe). It's about time. I am a bit afraid that we have accepted the idea this is a solely Hollywood rot, and that's far from the truth.

@Mamapolo2016 It is in business, politics and anywhere the big and powerful can exert control
