The Graduate

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2015)

I wasn't too crazy about this movie, however it did have some pretty cool camera-work throughout it. I thought the main character, Ben, was very boring and didn't have a lot of personality which made the whole movie kind of boring to me. The movie is about a new college graduate named Ben who didn't really know what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. His mothers friend, Mrs. Robinson, began hitting on him and the two began secretly meeting at hotels and hooking up. However, when Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Elaine, came home from college to visit, Bens dad made him take her out on a date. He ended up liking Elaine and told her about his relationship with her mom which lead for her to not talk to him anymore out of disgust. She went back to college and Ben chased after her trying to convince her to get back with him. Elaine ended up getting engaged to a boy at her college and she is standing at the alter at the end of the movie about to say "I do" then Ben came running into the church saying how he loved her and that she couldn't marry him. Elaine comes running down the aisle and her and Ben flee the church and get on the bus in hopes of getting back together and starting their own life together. I thought this movie was a lot but it was kind of dull.
