Splendor in the Grass

(excluding my doll of a husband who isn't that way) but a lot of the guys here are... interesting.

Love this movie it is awesome.

My favorite movie. I have seen countless times. I identify with Deanie. I had a Bud in my life too.

Yes, it all turns out for the best, as she sees... This film is full of repression... a force that twists people in monstrous, dysfunctional directions. Men are obliged to be successful & macho, while women must choose between virginity and whorishness... I hate this time period... and its vestiges I see in some men of my generation (the 65 and up crowd).

Well wake up and smell the coffee cause there are men that still think this way. it's called the military xD They expect all the wives to be cheating whores, or house sitters while their husbands are gone. They've got some pretty messed up ideals around this joint.

Not saying all military is the same, but this is what I've faced here for a year now.

Best!

Brilliant..Just Brilliant!!!

Unfortunately, everyone's going to lose all their money when the stock market crash happens soon after this, and poor Deenie (Natalie) will go to an insane asylum. Bud (Warren)'s father will go bust too, and Bud will have to leave college, and Deenie will meet a handsome doctor who's also crazy, but they'll both get better and finally Deenie will see the now-poor Bud on his pathetic farm with his homely wife and grimy kid, and she'll know it all turned out for the best.

This is what you think? Not even close...she still loved him, and he loved her..but what happened cannot be changed.

you know what - I always loved this movie and always believed that she and he were still madly in love but I agree with you - there relationship was a result of "glory in the flower" but in reality couldn't continue because of the social events that followed so yeah- I think she was happy it turned out that way - she just had to see for herself
