Review of The Graduate (1967) by Vincerocks123 — 15 Apr 2015

A eye-popping controversially mind-provoking comedy with the wacky taste of diversion from the dark dullness silence of life to something more bizarre that shatters innocence forever.

Dustin Hoffman in his first motion picture debut, plays a college graduate Benjamin Braddock with a directionless view of life, unable to decide what to do with his future he ends taking a bizarre turn for something worse ,trading in a lame life of innocence, littered with business proposals for plastics and annoying parents who expect him to do something good for life, when he ends up getting seduced by Mrs. Robinson (played by Anne Bancroft in an iconic role turned down by many other actresses) he soon finds his new life stuck in a bed having sex with a woman older than him will come at a great price to his escape from a normal life, when he meets Elaine Robinson the daughter of Mrs. Robinson and everything goes chaotic for Ben's life as he races to abandon everything for tough luck and prevent Elaine from getting involved into a forced marriage devised by her parents.

Mike Nichols does a great hand in directing to make a classical masterpiece of the unexpected virtues of life marred by complete ignorance for whats healthy for your life, the ending will leave with a painful feeling of wanting to reorganize your life without a regrettable error.
