Like most teenagers, graduating is what they look forward to. They think it would be awesome to be alone in the city barely ever coming home. Well then after they graduate from there, what will they do next? Will they go straight to work, will they stay with their parents for a while? This is a similar story about a man that is worried about his future. This movie is called The Graduate.
The movie starts out with Benjamin Braddok (Dustin Hoffman) graduating out of college. He doesn't know what to do next so he is confused. Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) congragulates him and asks him if he could drive her home. Ben does what she says and drives her home. Upon reaching her home she asks him to walk her in so she is safe. When they get in the house he says he'll leave when she tells him to stay and as time goes on Ben relizes that Mrs. Robinson is trying to seduce him. He goes home and tries to avoid her until he feels he has to do it. He calls her up and they get a room together at a hotel. After that he usually spends the rest of his time floating in his pool or renting a room with Mrs. Robinson. His parents organize a date for him and the Robinson's daughter Elaine Robinson (Katherine Ross). Mrs. Robinson is outraged and doesn't speak with Ben. He takes her to a strip club to make her hate him but finds her crying. He apologizes and says that his parents and her dad set the date up. She forgives him and they go get burgers and connect. One day ,when Ben goes to Elaine's house, Mrs. Robinson tells him that if he goes out with Elaine again she will tell Elaine about their affair. Sadly, Ben says he'll have to tell her himself. Elaine and Mr. Robinson won't speak to Ben and Elaine goes back to UC Berkley. Ben tells his parents that hes going to marry Elaine and when they are about to call up the Robinsons Ben says that Elaine doesn't even know yet. Ben goes to UC Berkley and stalks her. Later she finally gives in and says she loves him but her parents hates him so it would never work out. She is also engaged with her classmate Carl Smith (Brian Avery). Ben runs to the wedding and when Carl and Elaine are about to kiss, he starts shouting her name. She shouts his name and they run through the crowd and they jam the outside doors with a cross. They hitch a bus and drive away.
This film was interesting yet funny. I also like the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack they used for this movie. Now for the rating, I give it a 4 out of 5 for the songs ,the acting ,and the comedy. The one thing that was truly great about this movie was that it introduced Dustin Hoffman. His acting in this movie really shot up his popularity and made people know him as The Graduate.
