The Graduate


"Mrs. Robinson, your trying to seduce me" This quote is the biggest quote in the movie and is a really well known quote, even if you haven't watch the movie you have probably heard of it. I rate this movie a 3.5 out of 5. I really liked this movie because of the humor and the love affair. I think that all the actors did an amazing job in the film, especially Anne Bancroft who played Mrs. Robinson. She played a hard role because she had to have an affair with a man that was half her age.

The movie starts out with a young man Ben who is played by Dustin Hoffman that is a college graduate, that comes home. His parents really go out of there way to show him off because hes a track star. Mrs. Robinson becomes interested in Ben at the party his parents throw for him when he gets home. Ben is very confused and doesn't know where he wants to go with his life yet. He soon sorta becomes a victim of Mrs.Robinson and they begin there affair. Later on in the movie he falls in love with her daughter and the daughter finds out that he had an affair with her mother. In the end the daughter doesn't care about the affair because she loves Ben. Ben finds her in a church about to get married off in an arranged wedding from her parents. Ben and Elaine (daughter) end up running off and thats the end of the movie.

I liked the movie quite a bit and if i could change one thing i would change the ending. The ending was not what i expected it would be. I hoped they would pursue Ben and Elaine's relationship a little more. After Ben stole Elaine away from her wedding it only shows them on the bus. It doesn't show if they got caught and got in trouble or if they lived happily ever after or if there parents were happy for them or not.
