The right generation

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2014)

When I look back at this film one thing I hear about it is that Dustin Hoffman was too old to take the role, but I myself thought he took the role and made it himself the graduate and acted the perfect way for the film. With the awkward moments between his neighbor Mrs. Robinson who he thinks one thing, but she says another he reacts so nervously and red that it is funny.
The film that is surrounded by a man that just graduated college and his only friends at home are his parents friends. So what is he to do when he wants to be alone...drive off in his new car with his neighbor that turns into something more than what he was looking for.
The film that shows the old generation doesn't belong with the young by showing the many times Ben meets with Mrs.Robinson, but once he finds a way to date her daughter he begins to see his world in a better and brighter way. The only thing is he has to get rid of the older generation not letting him be happy with the woman he loves.
This film uses music very strongly to set the scenes for the perfect moments that will happen. Keeping the audience glued to the story. This film uses many darker scenes to show very little but sets the scenes like that perfect for the moment like that. The most camera-work used in this film is the moving camera with the car following the car as if the audience was in the car with Ben.
