8、duate is a classic 60s romantic comedy drama. The plot centres on a young graduate returning home to California for the summer, after finishing college. Benjamin Braddock, played by Dustin Hoffman, is about to turn 21. While he is at home he has to decide what he is going to do with the rest of his
9、life. Should he go into the plastics industry? Or should he go to grad school? His parents prepare a party for his homecoming. However, he is totally overwhelmed by all the questions of the guests and retreats to his room. It is then the audience is introduced to Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his fathe
10、rs business partner. She accidentally on purpose walks into his room while looking for the bathroom. This meeting leads to Bens life twisting and turning in ways he wouldnt have chosen for himself as he becomes sucked into the neurotic world of Mrs. Robinson. THOUGHTSvHoffman plays Benjamin fantasti
11、cally. His sense of confusion throughout is commendable. Even his silences are golden. The total lack of emotion on his face, at times, may have been irritating, but is very heartfelt. Somehow you can feel the confusion in Bens life. It is these sequences, which won director, Mike Nichols, an Oscar.
12、 The shot of Ben sitting at the bottom of the swimming pool, motionless in his scuba diving suit, is gripping. The comedy of the film is more in the awkwardness of the character, rather than actual comical situations. But the drama and comedy fit well together. THOUGHTSvOther cast members include a
13、wonderful performance by Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson. Her control over Benjamin, making him continue their relationship, ultimately changes lives forever. There is also a great performance by Katharine Ross, who plays Elaine, Mrs. Robinsons daughter. Her performance, however is somewhat dated as
14、it involves a lot of screaming when shes confused and upset. She doesnt really seem to be a very strong character. I dont think Hollywood would get away with a character like that today. There is a great sound track by provided by Simon and Garfunkel. There is of course the classic “Mrs. Robinson“.
15、However, I think the song “Scarborough Fair“ is more in fitting with the confused, and torn character of Benjamin. THOUGHTSvThis film is certainly one for the movie buffs. The Graduate was recently voted number eight in the best movies of all time, in the United Kingdom. However, it has dated somewh
16、at. I wouldnt say it was the best film in the world, but it is still a very funny and very dark film. Well worth watching.不可逾越的鸿沟美好的结局THE EXPRESSIONS:v1. Mrs. Robinson，youre trying to seduce me.
