the graduate

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2009)

the graduate was an odd movie. Finally a color movie. some of the things I noticed throughout the movie the music slowed down during the car scene, like when the car went through the tunnel. There were lots of long takes some of the long takes i thought were a good idea but some I feel made the movie slow down and made it kind of boring. the pool scene when he jumped in his scuba suit was kind of cool because they shut out all the sound which was a cool feature but when he was in the house he could here his father talking? this was strange.the sex scene was a little strange as well the woman started taking her close off and there were extremely quick flashes of nudity. when he started sleeping with her the lights would go out and you could still tell what was going on I liked that and thought it was a good idea for the movie.Each scene led itself into another which I liked. Think that he seemed very unknowing during the movie guess which is what it was all about.The las thing I nocticed was the running of cars didn't really sound normal to me they seemed to loud and really overbearing during the movie. The last thing I liked was the camera view through the glass table, I thought it was a really cool effect. Megan Himmel
