One of the best movies I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2020)

This film is from 1967 and now, more than 50 years later it still has a very current topic. What a timeless masterpiece!
Being born in the year 2000 I am 20 myself now and I don't think there will ever be a movie to which I can relate more. Besides the entertaining main plot it refers to many aspects of the verge from youth to adulthood. A lot of those references a very subtle and metaphorical built into allegories and dialogues which makes the movie all the more interesting and deep. Being 20 myself I can fully understand his feeling of not belonging neither to the noisy teenagers nor to the superficial older parents and their friends.
Of course also the performances by Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin and Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson are just spectacular. Furthermore the film is accompanied by the music of Simon and Garfunkel which just rounds the perfection of the film off.
I strongly urge anyone to watch this movie, especially if you are also in that weird stage of life between youth and adulthood as it is a timeless classic as well as being a turning point for the Hollywood cinema industry.
