The Graduate

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2014)

This film surprised me in so many ways. This movie was so beautifully shot with its crisp colored scenes and amazing widescreen format. There was so many creative personal perspective shots where we are taken in to the mind of Benjamin Braddock , played by the brilliant Dustin Hoffman. His performance was what made this film , something somewhat necessary you would hope out of your main character. His performance was so awkwardly hilarious , her truly captured the persona of the post college young buck with hesitation to perfection. Right along side him Anne Bancrofft, Mrs. Robinson, was sensational as well. I think this film was comedically ahead of it time and set the tone for plenty of our greatest modern comedies such as American Pie(1999) and such films in that genre.
