Reviews for The Graduate
Review - Graduate, The
Supposedly an amazing movie so far as camera angles and symbolism and all that, with great music by Simon and Garfunkel. But Ben was a thoroughly unlikable, amoral schlub and it makes no sense that Elaine would want him, much less her mother. People can't decide whether it's a romantic comedy about how love wins out, or whether it's a look at the pointlessness of youth culture in the 60's. Either way, my life isn't any better, nor my understanding any deeper, for having watched it. I just feel like I touched something slimy.
