I loved It.

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2014)

I had always wanted to see this movie since I had first heard about it, several years ago, but I never got to until I saw it in my movie class this semester. When I saw it on the movie list, and saw that we were still going to be able to watch it, even though it was later in the schedule, and we had already missed one of our small amount of classes, I was positively thrilled. I have always liked Dustin Hoffman, and, admittedly, I love some of his more recent work as well as his older work, but, I just think that he is a great actor. When I finally got to see it a few weeks ago, I was all eyes and all ears. I needed to pay full attention to it, because I had this great opportunity and I wasn't going to waste it. And I sang along with the songs that I already knew and throughout the movie, I could not stop smiling like an idiot. My favorite scenes were when he was a bumbling young man in the hotel at first, and trying desperately to hide what he was actually doing there, but failing to be non-suspicious, as well as the first scene that he has alone with Mrs. Robinson, which I thought involved some comedic editing and cinematography techniques. Overall, I was pleased with the movie, I thought Dustin Hoffman was great as always, and that he seemed to play his character very well.
