The Graduate

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2010)

I thought this movie was really good. The Graduate was made in the year 1967. In that same year was when the Hays Code ended. In this movie the 180 degree rule was used. This rule was used in the scene when Ben is in Mrs. Robinson house at her bar. Another scene which I thought was good was when he was in the diving suit. The audience was able to only see his point of view. By hearing and seeing what Ben saw through the mask. This movie also had a lot of long takes in it. I thought the end of the movie was good. When Elaine runs off with Ben even though she was just married to another man. She even ran away with him knowing everything and with her family hating him.
