The Graduate analysis

I find that The Graduate is a good movie and the quality of this film is excellent. The actor and actress, Dustin Hoffman (Benjamin Braddock), Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Robinson) and Katharine Ross (Elaine Robinson) play his or her part perfectly. The style of the move is also quite professional. When Benjamin moves ponderously through the crowd to his pool in his 21th birthday’s party, the camera work exactly conveys the sense of being pushed …

…In the beginning of the film, Benjamin has never really talked to anyone. All his response is in as perfunctory a way as possible. His relationship with Mrs. Robinson has never gone beyond the physical, as evidenced by the fact that he never calls her by her first name. Now, when he meets Elaine, he feels a need for communication. Because of age, he finds that he is more comfortable with Elaine than Mrs. Robinson.
