The Graduate


Benjamin Braddock played by (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished graduating from college. He returns home to celebrate with the family only to find himself seduced by his parents friend (Mrs Robinson) they begin a physical relationship. He soon becomes well aware that Mrs Robinson has a daughter (Elaine) and eventually falls in love with her. 

The Graduate is a unique love story but it's also confusing. I think Benjamin is a w-e-i-r-d-o for having a relationship with Mrs Robinson (um gross she's like 100) Anyway, this movie really is an 80's movie because some of them are weird, not all but some (this one is weird). When I finished watching it I was confused but also the ending was quite emotional so I don't know how I felt about this movie. This movie sure does show the different kind of love stories out there and the relationships people have. I was angry with a few of the relationships in this movie because first of all Benjamin sleeps with Mrs Robinson, then after their little fling he falls in love with Elaine...like what is this? I really hated him for what he did but once he starts to prove his love for Elaine I feel sorry for him. I absolutely hated the mother is this movie, she's the kind who will use you then forget it ever happened, I wanted to throw her off a bridge. Summed up it's a good love story but it's also the kind that leaves you thinking "SOO they're just going to forget about all the shit that just happened?!". The thing I loved about this movie the most would have to be the ending, it's beautifully sad.


What audience would you recommend this to?
