Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls注1, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) and Northwestern 2004 graduate Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights) star in Post Grad, a film about a college graduate’s “pre-life crisis注2.” Ryden graduates from college and is forced to move back home and deal with her eccentric[古怪的] family and an

unsuccessful job search. It’s coincidental[巧合的] that this plot is so fitting with the current economic climate

seeing as production on Post Grad began back in 2007. In a web conference, Bledel and Gilford talked about their experiences and advice current college students might take away from Post Grad.

What message does Post Grad send to graduates?

Bledel: The point of the movie is that you can’t plan everything, which is really the case right now. It’s a difficult time and it wasn’t this way when we filmed the movie. But it was relevant[相关联的] then and, now even more so.

Alexis, you said you wanted to make your character Ryden different from your TV character in Gilmore Girls. What are the differences between Rory and Ryden?

Bledel: Well, as the years went by on Gilmore Girls, I noticed that Rory was kind of like an idealized product of the show’s imagination, because she was really perfect

in a lot of ways, which started to annoy me a bit, but you have to keep playing the character. But Ryden I think she’s much more relatable[与……有关系的] in a lot of ways, and this character’s story picks up in the same stage of life where Rory left off, graduating from college.

So for anyone who likes the show, it’s kind of…it’s a continuation in a way, but she’s a completely different girl because she makes a lot of mistakes. She has a very typical college experience. She’s kind of an average girl, and I can relate much more to her.

Zach, you were a theater major at Northwestern. Do you have any advice for current students?

Gilford: I remember when I was at Northwestern, a lot of people would come and talk and say, “This is the way it works. This is what you have to do. This is what you can’t do,” and it’s all kinda rubbish. It’s gonna happen

how it’s gonna happen. I mean, it sounds trite[陈腐的], but just stay positive and go with it, and something’s gonna work out. It really is.

Did you experience any post grad nightmares when you graduated from Northwestern?

Gilford: No, not really. I mean, I was unemployed for a long period of time, but I found stuff to do. I worked at a school in Queens for a while, which was fun. And then I also worked in retail[零售] and whatever I could do to keep busy. And then eventually, I got a job doing this kind of stuff, which was fun and lucky.

亚丽克西斯・布莱德尔(《吉尔莫女孩》、《牛仔裤的夏天》)和(美国)西北大学2004届毕业生扎克・吉尔福德(《胜利之光》)参演了电影《毕业生生存指南》。这部电影讲述了一名大学毕业生的“后大学危机”:大学毕业后,赖登被迫搬回家里住。她一方面要应对古怪的家人,一方面还要面对不断的求职失败。《毕业生生存指南》早在2007年就开始制作,但这个剧情恰巧非常符合当前的经济环境。在一次网络会议中,布莱德尔和吉尔福德谈到了他们的经验,以及现在的大学毕业生可以从《毕业生生存指南》中借鉴的东西。

《毕业生生存指南》向毕业生们传递了怎样的信息?

布莱德尔:这部电影的主旨就是你不可能计划好所有事情,现在的情况确实是这样。这是一段艰难的时期。虽然我们拍摄这部电影的时候情况还没这么糟,但(即便)在那时它也有自己的意义,现在更是如此。

亚丽克西斯,你说过希望赖登这个角色可以跟你在电视剧《吉尔莫女孩》中饰演的角色有所不同。那么,罗里和赖登有什么不同呢?

布莱德尔:拍了这么多年《吉尔莫女孩》,我发现罗里有点像这部电视剧理想化的产物,因为她在很多方面都表现完美。这开始让我有点厌烦了,但你必须继续演下去。然而赖登――我认为她在许多方面与我更有共鸣。加上这个角色的故事刚好接上罗里落下的部分――也就是大学毕业(以后的事情),所以对于喜欢这部电视剧的人来说,它就像……从某种意义上说,它是一种延续。但赖登(跟罗里)截然不同,她犯了大大小小的错。她的大学经历很有代表性。她就是一个普通女孩,我和她更有共鸣。

扎克,你以前在西北大学主修戏剧,能给现在的学生提些建议吗?

吉尔福德:我记得当我还在西北大学读书的时候,很多人对我说:“事情就是这样。你必须这样做。你不能那样做。”这些都是废话。该来的还是会来。我的意思是,虽然这听起来很老套,但你只要保持积极乐观的态度去接受它,问题一定会得到解决,真的。

从西北大学毕业时,你是否经历过这样的毕业恶梦呢?

吉尔福德:没有,不会啊。我的意思是,我有很长一段时间处于失业状态,但我会找些事情干。我在(纽约)皇后区的一间学校工作过一段时间,日子过得蛮快乐的。后来我又到零售店打工,或者做点什么让自己不会闲着。最终,我得到了(演员)这份工作。我觉得这很有趣,我很幸运。

注1:《吉尔莫女孩》是一部广受欢迎的美国电视剧。讲述一对关系十分融洽的母女在爱情、家庭、学业和事业等方面遇到的问题和她们的选择。该剧于2000年10月首播,2007年5月结束,共播出7季。

注2:“pre-life crisis”一般出现在毕业后、找到工作之前,意味着安逸的生活一去不返,要开始承担社会责任。
