amazing soundtrack

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2010)

I think the defining feature of this film is the soundtrack. Simon and Garfunkl were asked to write songs for this film and I think that it really added to the movie. Also the unique visual style of director Mike Nichols' is what makes this film so great. The one visual effect that I thought was particularly cool was when it cuts from Benjamin jumping up on the pool raft and then landing in bed with Mrs. Robinson. The editing in this scene as well as the others is seamless. Dustin Hoffman will always be remembered for his role in this film. I think he did a great job portraying an adolescent male trying to get ahold of his life. This film defined a generation and became a classic and there are so many memorable lines. I think that everyone should see this movie because everyone can find something to relate to in this film.
