Not great, but not bad

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2014)

I have heard such good things about this classic movie, but I cannot say that I was enraptured by it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie with fantastic acting. I just found myself constantly distracted, especially when they have the quick edits of when Ben and Mrs. Robinson get together. Ben and Elaine's romance is also a little far-fetched to me, it seems that after one night with he is completely smitten, and that's fine, but then he decides he is going to stalk her after she left him so that they can get married. I'm not saying that the movie was bad by any means, it was well done with some interesting photography, I personally enjoyed whenever he was in the pool because he always seemed to slip away to another version of reality. I also liked Mrs. Robinson. She was classy and sexy and confident despite all her life mistakes, her character was also very- well executed. The one thing that I did not like at all was the music! The soundtrack that accompanied the movie was definitely not my favorite. The Sounds of Silence and Scarborough Fair? No thanks. Especially the latter.
