Quirky, Confused, and Cute

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2015)

"The Graduate" (1967), was a surprisingly good film to watch, but I don't know why I was so surprised considering Dustin Hoffman is the lead. The music in this film was so unique and so perfect for each and every scene. The music led you into how to feel and then BAM hit you with the rest of it. Dustin Hoffman does an excellent job at portraying how confusing and overwhelming young adult life and graduating college can be. I honestly couldn't stand his parents though, but the actors who played them, William Daniels and Elizabeth Wilson did a fantastic job at playing the clueless, annoying, and embarrassing parents. The cinematography and the editing in this film were award winning in my opinion and the film is well worth the watch just to see the unique and artful use of the camera and editing techniques. The plot is new, fresh, and ground breaking so you won't get bored watching it, I know I didn't it.
