Taboo themes contribute to its popularity

Rating: 4/10 (1 December 2005)

'The Graduate' owes some of the popularity down to its portrayal of taboo events surrounding an older, married woman and a young graduate. In summary, the movie is about their relationship and about the young graduate uncertain of his future. The ending scene is classic and memorable, and it's one of those scenes that has probably achieved high, unforgettable status in the film world.
The music by Simon and Garfunkel is probably one of the best elements of the film. Definitely, give this film a watch. It has several good scenes, but don't expect too much because its so often mentioned. Personal rating: Average.
