I didn't enjoy this film

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2004)

I had to watch the graduate for a 20th Century Film Studies class. I did not enjoy the film. I realize it was a risky film for the time and compared to movies now it was nothing. But i thought the plot of the film was a little sick and twisted. The fact that he was dating his mom's friend was just wrong.And the fact that he could keep doing it for so long knowing that it was wrong disgusted me . I thought that he was smarter and had more respect for himself than that.I did think that Dustin Hoffman did a good job acting and it was funny to see him so nervous around Mrs. Robinson. The fact that the movie was from the 60's and didn't focus on the war and the counter culture was cool because it showed that people still lived there lives "normally" here and not everyone was involved.And another thing i liked about it was that even though i don't agree with what Ben was doing it did help him to relax a little. The film just didn't interest me i would rather watch a boring western than see the Graduate again. I was hoping for a different ending i thought that they sugar coated it too much.
