New Hollywood

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2015)

The Graduate (1967) is a movie that was developed during the new era of Hollywood where boundaries were pushed...and then toppled. Dustin Hoffman, a great method actor, transformed from a thirty year old to fresh college graduate for this film. Sex and alcohol are at the forefront in this flick and that is why I believe it is still such a popular movie to today. The film could have been released this year and many would have believed it was current and with the times. The film uses music produced by Simon & Garfunkel and really put them on the map. I can only imagine how off-putting this movie was to anyone from the older generation seeing the movie in 1967. There is no doubt that today's crowd would absolutely be drawn to a movie such as this. Thus the world we live in...
