The Graduate

Wow was Dustin Hoffman young in this movie. This movie was very good and once again I don’t understand why it took me so long to finally see it. This was a great film by Mike Nichols but it was not my favorite one. I enjoyed Closer and Angels in America more than the Graduate but it is still a great movie. It was an odd movie because it had the whole Hollywood love story thing at the end but then as they are sitting there on the bus they realize that they may have made a mistake. It is this point that made the movie unique and great, my only real problem was the overuse of Simon and Garfunkel, sure they had some decent songs in there but they did not have to play them 5000 times. Besides the repetitive use of some of the songs I have no real complaints about this movie. It is definitely worth watching, and the soundtrack is memorable besides the few songs.
