Review of The Graduate (1967) by Piscaso — 01 Nov 2015
An incredible film; a masterpiece. The cinematography, acting, story, imagery, and symbolism is perfect. There was so much done in each shot. There are too many camera shots to list that used the language of cinema perfectly to tell us things. The editing is great too. I will say that there is a LOT of Simon and Garfunkel (Scarborough Fair and Sound of Silence are repeated multiple times) which, if you don't like them you will get annoyed quickly, but if you like them you're gonna love it. There is also some funny scenes and lines but it's not necessarily a comedy.
This movie is just perfectly executed. But I can see how it could go over the heads of some people. If you're not the sharpest person, or don't really understand movies, you might just find it weird. But film buffs and people who can critically examine movies will love it. This is an important movie for a reason.
