If the film had been made with modern film execs, they'd have spoilt it, like The Shawshank Redemption where the same bus of 'future possible happiness or maybe not' disappears over the horizon, perfect, time for the credits. No, notes from the studio, focus groups want to know what happens we have to tack on a scene :-/

Life's intersection of idealism and realism in a split second. My wife of 24 years and I had the same feeling after a positive pregnancy test. We had our first date a month and a half prior to it. We married a month and a half after the test. Our daughter just graduated college. Her brother is graduating high school this year. We love each other just as much today as that gut punch day.

The doubt and uncertainty is the sad realization. Both of them have been so focused on rebelling against their parents for so long, that they never even questioned if this is what they want in the first place. And now that the smoke is cleared and there is nobody left to rebel, they question is this is the right decision. Or you could just say it's up for interpretation. Because it is ;-)

I love this ending. At first there is the elation that they have escaped from the rigid rules & expectations of their parents’ generation, then the reality of an uncertain future, where they are going to have to figure things out for themselves & take responsibility for their choices dawns on them. It’s all there, in those wonderful facial expressions, in the bus taking them to an unknown destination and in the poignantly beautiful song. In fact, this whole film is as close to perfection as any film has ever been.

Yes i agree, but i think if you have someone who believes in you and you believe in them then you can get on and make things work and have a fruitful life. Trust, love and support in each other. Im 35 and im single and if i had one good woman who i could get to know and she could honestly believe in me, and like me for just who i am, thats all i would need. And i would get to know her too, but her belief in me would give me the confidence to just get out there and do what i need to do as a man. But its just not that simple cause its really hard meeting someone today, in the world today its not even so much parents and the pressure they put, most parents today are open-minded and just let their kid's be who they want to be, majority of western parents dont pressure their kids to get married. I think the main issue today is Women, they hold all the cards now because it was a sexist "man's world" in the past, now society has changed to support women more and this is great. It just that its led to a modern world where most young women only want a specific man.

I don't think there's any love in this movie. Mrs. Robinson didn't love her husband and that's why she pushed to have affair with Benjamin, and judging by their faces in this scene and the music, they just realized that they don't love each other either and that they just threw their lives away for each other and that there's no turning back. Which is exactly what Mrs. Robinson did.

They are in for a ride for sure... I agree with you, it wasn't that they suddenly dropped back into reality and started doubting, it was that they entered another battle - it was made obious by the staring eyes, the scene is almost satirical, like a British comedy from back in the days where unaccepting old-school considers youth to be a hopeless delinquents.

Classic movie -classic ending scene. Both in the moment enjoyed pulling a great caper on everyone at the wedding, only to eventually realize they are right back where they started. The "fix" of the short term satisfaction and rush, has undermined the change she was trying to make to a better future. It's so difficult to escape our habits and thought patterns. Our neurons fire down neural pathways they are so used to using, so fast they can't even see exit ramps to other possibilities and behaviors that may be more beneficial to us in the long run. Brilliant scene. Brilliant use of Simon and Garfunkel's lyrics.

In one brief ending there is disbelief and confusion by the bus riders, joy on the faces of Ben and Elaine at beating the system, then doubt setting in, what happens to us next, and will we survive together. Then, as if that wasn't enough to process, the camera stops as the bus moves on. What happens as the bus and an uncertain future ride together, is brilliant in its' lack of a final resolution. A masterful conclusion, done simply, with no pretense and no histrionics.

This film bridged the early-mid 1960's conformity of MAD MEN and the late-1960's explosion of the counterculture. Its finish, in which the "heroes" upend a traditional happy ending, like the casting of an unconventional leading man thought by some at the time to be too "ethnic," speaks to the ferment going on in society at the time. All that is to say that's it's a great film, and a time-capsule of the period.

1:37 Wonder if that dude crossing the street ever realized he was in the ending of the most iconic film of the '60s. It's left open to subjective interpretation, but to me the final scene depicts Ben's and Elaine's ultimate triumph. I don't interpret the looks as :"what happens now"; I interpret it as contemplating their triumph of love and rebellion. Of course the music is a major element of the film.. The Simon and Garfunkel songs are what make the film what it is; gives a poignancy to the scenes. It begins and ends with Sounds of Silence, and in between Scarborough Fair and Mrs. Robinson. This is the soundtrack of the '60s generation. Also a huge aspect of what the film's about is the era of the '60s. Then there's the whole thing about Ben being Mike Nichols' alter ego; that he cast Dustin Hoffman instead of the Robert Redford type of the novel on which the film is based. face-red-heart-shape And he directed two of my all time faves: this and Virginia Woolf

Beyond that, I can only guess. The 80s brought computers and the birth of information technology, then 911 and Gulf wars perhaps. Today's youth may cite COVID-19 as a life-changing event. Time does strange things to us all. Somehow we change over the years, but we also stay pretty much the same.

what some people ignore in the final scene is the obvious. notice that given their appearance (a woman in a bridal dress and a man in a torn jacket) they attracted the attention of everyone on the bus they got on. look at their faces: most look confused, maybe almost upset. and surely not knowing anything else other than what can be implied by their look, they all don't seem accepting of what they're seeing. now after that shot, they then show a close-up of the two characters. focus on their eyes [especially the man's] once they settle into their seats at the back of the bus. their eyes begin to wander about, their line of sight shifting here and there: they're looking at the people who are looking back at them. now i believe anyone reading this post has had a moment where they seemed happy or excited of an action they took til they saw a serious or disapproving face staring a hole through them: it can really put a damper on a person as the doubt starts to creep in: to consider that maybe this wasn't a good idea because others don't see it as such can leave someone fairly deflated and demoralized. this is what i think happened to the two characters. the final shots have them both looking forward towards the onlooking crowd. and i'm sure their collective gazes began to make the couple feel awkward and uncomfortable with the situation they have just put themselves in

I love this ending. At first there is the elation that they have escaped from the rigid rules & expectations of their parents’ generation, then the reality of an uncertain future, where they are going to have to figure things out for themselves & take responsibility for their choices dawns on them. It’s all there, in those wonderful facial expressions, in the bus taking them to an unknown destination and in the poignantly beautiful song. In fact, this whole film is as close to perfection as any film has ever been.

Yes i agree, but i think if you have someone who believes in you and you believe in them then you can get on and make things work and have a fruitful life. Trust, love and support in each other. Im 35 and im single and if i had one good woman who i could get to know and she could honestly believe in me, and like me for just who i am, thats all i would need. And i would get to know her too, but her belief in me would give me the confidence to just get out there and do what i need to do as a man. But its just not that simple cause its really hard meeting someone today, in the world today its not even so much parents and the pressure they put, most parents today are open-minded and just let their kid's be who they want to be, majority of western parents dont pressure their kids to get married. I think the main issue today is Women, they hold all the cards now because it was a sexist "man's world" in the past, now society has changed to support women more and this is great. It just that its led to a modern world where most young women only want a specific man.

I don't think there's any love in this movie. Mrs. Robinson didn't love her husband and that's why she pushed to have affair with Benjamin, and judging by their faces in this scene and the music, they just realized that they don't love each other either and that they just threw their lives away for each other and that there's no turning back. Which is exactly what Mrs. Robinson did.
I love this movie because of the ending. It is perfect, and the music makes it a classic.
Here is another interpretation: At first they were happy to successfully escape the pressure of society. But eventually they ended up in a bus full of unsympathetic people who stared at them with mocking eyes and were thus exposed to the pressure of society again. Hello darkness, my old friend.

They are in for a ride for sure... I agree with you, it wasn't that they suddenly dropped back into reality and started doubting, it was that they entered another battle - it was made obious by the staring eyes, the scene is almost satirical, like a British comedy from back in the days where unaccepting old-school considers youth to be a hopeless delinquents. Partly true, partly not.

Classic movie -classic ending scene. Both in the moment enjoyed pulling a great caper on everyone at the wedding, only to eventually realize they are right back where they started. The "fix" of the short term satisfaction and rush, has undermined the change she was trying to make to a better future. It's so difficult to escape our habits and thought patterns. Our neurons fire down neural pathways they are so used to using, so fast they can't even see exit ramps to other possibilities and behaviors that may be more beneficial to us in the long run. Brilliant scene. Brilliant use of Simon and Garfunkel's lyrics.

They don't regret their decision; they're just thinking about the hard work ahead of them and the uncertainty.
Art Garfunkel has a beautiful, shimmering tenor, which Simon's harmonies perfectly accentuate.
Greatest film of all time for me Catherine Ross the most beautiful woman in the world and the music of Paul Simon you cant get any better and would we all not like to do what he did at the end fantastici am 74 and i still watch it
What a powerful scene to finish with, the silence says everything.
My favorite movie ! This ending scene is brilliant just like the rest. Breathtaking photography. Legendary soundtrack. And I find so much of myself in Ben... what a masterpiece.
Let yourself be happy...sometimes you are your biggest obstacle...
In one brief ending there is disbelief and confusion by the bus riders, joy on the faces of Ben and Elaine at beating the system, then doubt setting in, what happens to us next, and will we survive together. Then, as if that wasn't enough to process, the camera stops as the bus moves on. What happens as the bus and an uncertain future ride together, is brilliant in its' lack of a final resolution. A masterful conclusion, done simply, with no pretense and no histrionics.
Sadness at the end of this movie but can watch this a hundreds times. Beautiful music 🙁 Simon and Garfunkel
The Sound of Silence...one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs. No body can sing it like them.
This is one of the best movies of the 60s... and the 60s was chock full of great films. This one is a masterpiece. Mike Nichols did an incredible job and the cast couldn't be better. A classic in every way!

This film bridged the early-mid 1960's conformity of MAD MEN and the late-1960's explosion of the counterculture. Its finish, in which the "heroes" upend a traditional happy ending, like the casting of an unconventional leading man thought by some at the time to be too "ethnic," speaks to the ferment going on in society at the time. All that is to say that's it's a great film, and a time-capsule of the period.

Love this scene .. and the music
Gorgeous woman.
1:37 Wonder if that dude crossing the street ever realized he was in the ending of the most iconic film of the '60s. It's left open to subjective interpretation, but to me the final scene depicts Ben's and Elaine's ultimate triumph. I don't interpret the looks as :"what happens now"; I interpret it as contemplating their triumph of love and rebellion. Of course the music is a major element of the film.. The Simon and Garfunkel songs are what make the film what it is; gives a poignancy to the scenes. It begins and ends with Sounds of Silence, and in between Scarborough Fair and Mrs. Robinson. This is the soundtrack of the '60s generation. Also a huge aspect of what the film's about is the era of the '60s. Then there's the whole thing about Ben being Mike Nichols' alter ego; that he cast Dustin Hoffman instead of the Robert Redford type of the novel on which the film is based. face-red-heart-shape And he directed two of my all time faves: this and Virginia Woolf

Each generation carries memories of great events that happened during their youth. The 1940's have WWII, the 60s have hippies, the Beatles, Vietnam, Woodstock and great films. Beyond that, I can only guess. The 80s brought computers and the birth of information technology, then 911 and Gulf wars perhaps. Today's youth may cite COVID-19 as a life-changing event. Time does strange things to us all. Somehow we change over the years, but we also stay pretty much the same.

Thanks. I love this important scene for my youth! Love, humour, beauty, music, artists and intelligence in a great movie!
All the great films I've seen growing up in old dark theaters, they came alive & still live in my memories.
best ending scene ever.

Katherine Ross looks like Debra Winger; Also a classic end scene in 'An officer and a gentleman'.....
It could be the ending or the beginning...that unknown feeling is so powerful...only the heart will know when it has all happened....beautiful.
Saw it on my senior class trip to Denver in 1968. Amazing time since then.
She looked at him for confirmation and didn’t get it.

I thought it was romantic...He was day dreaming and exhausted because he finally got what he wanted. And she was looking at him beeing in love. Also that they didnt smile was romantic for me...they didnt need to, full of emotions.

@@liliblume5468 Thats alittle naive sorry, only someone who is like completely laid back and carefree would do what Dustin did in this ending scene. I scene conveying real romantics to the audience, would show this couple maybe in a field on a summer day, laying in eachother's arms, not looking at eachother but instead staring up into the sky something like that.

Romantic love is fleeting
Dustin Hoffman is such an underrated actor.

An actor who has won multiple Oscars plus other awards is underrated?FUUUCKKKKK!!!! The ignorance is maddening.
One of the first movies I went to see as an 18-yr-old 'adult'- ( i.e.- w/o my parents ), & Dustin Hoffman's facial expression in this scene absolutely & utterly personifies the emotions all of us at that age feel when contemplating what the future might hold- so HAUNTING!!
her look to him and then no affirmation from him, tells an ugly truth...ideas are often better than reality !
I always watch this scene without context. I never saw the movie, but the scene keeps comming up for me. And I always think: "is this guy stealing someone's bride?"

what some people ignore in the final scene is the obvious. notice that given their appearance (a woman in a bridal dress and a man in a torn jacket) they attracted the attention of everyone on the bus they got on. look at their faces: most look confused, maybe almost upset. and surely not knowing anything else other than what can be implied by their look, they all don't seem accepting of what they're seeing. now after that shot, they then show a close-up of the two characters. focus on their eyes [especially the man's] once they settle into their seats at the back of the bus. their eyes begin to wander about, their line of sight shifting here and there: they're looking at the people who are looking back at them. now i believe anyone reading this post has had a moment where they seemed happy or excited of an action they took til they saw a serious or disapproving face staring a hole through them: it can really put a damper on a person as the doubt starts to creep in: to consider that maybe this wasn't a good idea because others don't see it as such can leave someone fairly deflated and demoralized. this is what i think happened to the two characters. the final shots have them both looking forward towards the onlooking crowd. and i'm sure their collective gazes began to make the couple feel awkward and uncomfortable with the situation they have just put themselves in

I saw every movie Katharine Ross was in more than once while I was growing up, regardless of its quality. I think you can understand why.
