great movie for anyone

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2003)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** The movie The Graduate was an excellent movie. The way it was shown about the 60's wasnt traditional. It was more about how a wealthy well off boy wanted out of this steriotype life style. The movie was about a boy who graduated from college and was coming home for his birthday. During the party, a family friend, Mrs. Robinson, asked Ben to take her home. As they were going back to the Robinsons house she insisted that he go in with her, she tried to make a pass at him, but he denyed her. Soon after he called her from a Hotel and asked her to come for a drink, she immiediatly asked him if he had got a room. They had an affair and then during he realized that he really was in love with Mrs Robinsons daughter Elaine. He took her out but Mrs. Robinson threatened him that she would tell Elaine about their affair. Elaine went on to get married, but Ben came and "stole" the bride and the last shot shows them riding in a bus to the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack that made the movie ever so popular. The soundtrack was perfect for the movie, it tied it together very well and some of the scenes could have just had that playing and the viewer would know what was going on. I would recomend the movie to all, for the plot or just the soundtrack alone.
