i loved it

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2006)

I simply adored this film. Dustin Hoffman is brilliant with Mrs Robinson...and simply divine with Elaine. I also loved the music(Simon and Garfunkel especially), it really got out the characters's state of mind. Everybody should see this movie, because it has it all: from great comedy to psychological drama. And the ending is simply wonderful- the whole image with Elaine in a bride's dress standing at the back of the buss with Benjamin and all the people staring at them, and them just smiling because what was it left to say?! This movie goes definitely into my top ten. It was full of symbols to. Take for instance the aquarium, or the fact that Ben started smoking after Mrs Robinson hit on him. Another great scene was at the Zoo near the monkey's cage, after Elaine left and in the corner appeared the sign: "Do not tease". I thought this was fantastic. Katherine Ross was great to. She was perfect for the role, and showed the complex personality of her character. I highly recommend The Graduate to everyone!
