The Graduate Film Review

The movie The Graduate was a 1967 comedy/drama directed by Mike Nichols, starring Dustin Hoffman and Katherine Ross. I give this movie a 1 out of 5 becuase it wasn't funny most of the acting was bad except for Dustin Hoffman

The movie plot goes like this Benjamin Braddock is a highschool graduate whos parents are pressuring him about grad school and some body from his childhood seduces him and he says no. then at a hotel he decides to give in to his suitor Mrs. Robinson and has an affair with him then eventually his parents and Mr. Robinson want him to date their daughter Elaine and eventually he gives in to his parents and stops the affairs with Mrs. Robinson and takes Elaine out against Mrs. Robinson's will and tries to intentially tries to make her not like him and he finds out he likes her. Mrs. Robinson threatons to expose thier affair if he doesn't leave her and he decides to tell her and she gets sent to berkley he follows her and stalks her he finally talks to her on a bus ride with her to meet up with her boyfriend Carl that night she shows up asking ben to kiss her and then they keep a relationship up and he asked her to marry her and she said she told Carl she might marry him. eventually her dad shows up wanting him to stay away from his daughter and he doeasn't. Then she leaves saying that she likes him but her dad doesn't and it wouldn't work. he tracks down where her and carl are getting married and they run off together.

The one quote that has stayed around that most people remember is "Well Mrs. Robinson Your trying to subduce me"

Now we went over the plot, the quote and the analysis wich was the movie got a 1 out of 5 due to bad plot bad acting and bad jokes, but it gets a one because of dustin hoffman.I know this review is a little short But not much to say about a bad movie.
