The Graduate Comments

    8/10. A masterpiece of American youth films, the resonance of the script depends on the success. The second half of "Bonnie and Clyde" means "true love invincible", which is a kind of free love temperament. The audio-visual level is very rich: fast psychological montages, profound picture layouts, non-sequential shots of fashionable music and the integration of scenes without lines are all popular film techniques at the time and used appropriately. The toaster's corresponding lines are very...

    Tells about the confusion, confusion, worry and rebellion of graduates, a youth elegy with mixed flavors. Mike Nichols won the Oscar for Best Director for this film. The composition and photography are exquisite and beautiful. The classic shots are a basket, several transitions and large-span push-pulls are very dramatic. The use of depth of field is even textbook-level. Dustin Hoffman's acting skills are beginning to show off. The finishing touch is thought-provoking. The two theme songs are...

    Example: zoom replaces editing. The foreground tends to comment on its meaning, while the backdrop of the north implies that the subject and the environment are essentially...

    Only when you know the meaning of love can you settle down and appreciate it, just like ben. Ben may not be mature, but he understands what love is. The end of the first act is the best written one I have ever seen. Mrs. Robinson's teasing and Ben's dullness constitute a very powerful scene. The film’s photography has also been designed. The large-aperture and less-focused photography fits the relationship between the plot and the confusion, depression, and resistance of the American society at...

    I love this movie! Dustin Hoffman is really kind cute person. And as the old word going'only love can turn a boy to a man'. This is a movie about youth and confuse and also a guide about how to hit on one pretty old woman and her daughter and how to crash her wedding....

    01:07 began to enter the play, the front line is a bit long. What is the old woman's motive for Benjamin? In addition, the love between Nien and Benjamin was not enough. Imagine a girl who has just been humiliated by you in a vulgar and indecent way will forgive you so easily? The speed of emotional development is not very scientific, I think it is unrealistic. I thought it was an incest story. Benjamin's fish...

    When watching this story, I have always been puzzled by the title. On the surface, this is a nondescript love story full of peachy imagination, and it is precisely the identity that graduates can most bear. In the 1960s, American baby boomers entered society. They grew up in the peaceful and prosperous America after the war. However, emptiness, confusion, hippies, and beat generations appeared. The setting in the movie is also the same. Ben's family conditions are very good, graduation from a...

    If the latter part is written as: Benn and Elaine get married, so that he can sleep with Mrs. Robinson at home, this film becomes an ethical film; after writing Benn's insight into the hypocrisy and vanity of the adult world, he can do it with ease, and finally change Become an empty and boring winner, this film has become black humor, and I like the latter one. As a satirical comedy, many shots of this film are set up very...

    Benjamin: Yes, but I'm afraid I'm...

    Mrs. Singleman: Oh, no no no, I'll find your table in just a moment.

    Mrs. Singleman: [looks through the guest list] Braddock, Braddock, Braddock, not Branham, we have a Branham.

    Benjamin: No, actually, I'm just looking for a friend.

    Mrs. Singleman: Oh, but I don't understand.

  • Benjamin: Don't talk about Elaine?

    Mrs. Robinson: No.

    Benjamin: Well, why not?

    Mrs. Robinson: Because I don't want you to.

    Benjamin: Well, why don't you? I wish you'd tell me.

    Mrs. Robinson: There's nothing to tell.

    Benjamin: Well, why is she a big taboo subject all of a sudden? Well, I guess I'll have to ask her out on a date and find out what the big deal is.

    Mrs. Robinson: [turns on the lamp] Benjamin...

    Benjamin: Ow!

    Mrs. Robinson: Don't you ever take that girl out! Do you understand me?

    Benjamin: Look, I have no intention of taking her out.

    Mrs. Robinson: Good.

    Benjamin: I was just kidding around.

    Mrs. Robinson: Good.

    Benjamin: But why shouldn't I?

    Mrs. Robinson: I have my reasons.

    Benjamin: Well, let's hear them.

    Mrs. Robinson: No.

    Benjamin: Let's hear them, Mrs. Robinson, because I think I know what they are; I'm not good enough for her to associate with, am I? I'm not good enough to even talk about her, am I?

    Mrs. Robinson: Let's drop it.

    Benjamin: We're not dropping it! I'm good enough for you, but I'm not good enough to associate with your daughter. That's it, isn't it! Isn't it?

    Mrs. Robinson: [lengthy pause] Yes.

    Benjamin: You go to hell! You go straight to hell, Mrs. Robinson! Do you think I'm proud of myself? Do you think I'm proud of this?

    Mrs. Robinson: I wouldn't know.

    Benjamin: Well, I am not! No sir, I am not proud that I spend my time with a broken-down alcoholic!

    Mrs. Robinson: I see.

    Benjamin: And if you think I come here for any reason besides pure boredom, then you're all wrong; because Mrs. Robinson, this is the sickest, most perverted thing in the world that ever happened to me! And you do what you want, but I'm getting the hell out!

    Mrs. Robinson: Are you?

    Benjamin: Goddam right I am!
