Reality, does it follow movies, or does it re-
inact them? For
alot of people it is a re-enactment of the there lives. Many people have gone threw things that
Benjim went threw in the movie. Getting people to admit that they did it is a totally different story in itself. Life has many obstacles and awkward times. If you choose top make them more awkward life will become crazy. Which is the case in the movie The Graduate. In the movie the graduate a young man named
Benjim Braddock gets seduced by one of his parents friends, Mrs.
Robenson. Mrs.
Robenson is 44 at the time and
Benjim is 21. She
trys and gets him alone at her home but under his better judgement he decides to stay out of that situation. Then a few days later he decides that he can not stay away from Mrs.
Robenson's moves any longer. They arranged to meet at the Taft hotel and have a drink, both knowing what was going to happen later that night. Sure en ought what everyone thought was going to happen did happen. They start meeting there more often and have more and more relations.
After some time Ben decides he
doesn't want to meet with her anymore but starts seeing her daughter. He takes her
doughtier out on a date and they have a rather good time. Then the daughter comes home one day when Ben and the mom are together in the room and Ben tells the daughter,
Eliane that he has been seeing her mom. Then she tells her dad and they get a
divorce.
Later in the movie Ben
trys to get
Eliane back. He goes to her college and
fallowed her around because he is
obsessed with her. Once he gets her to talk to him, he tells her how much he likes her and he gets
interrupted by her boyfriend. They leave been. He finds out that her and her boyfriend are getting
married. Ben does not want that to happen so he shows up at the wedding and causes all sorts off trouble. He steals her away from her Boyfriend/Husband.
There is another movie that they made some years later to go on after the graduate, it is called Rumor Has It. In Rumor has it
Eliane has a
daughter. Elaine has passed away. So her daughter is unsure about everything. Her
daughter decides that she will look into see if she may have a
different father. She
discovers that her mom ran away the day of her
wedding and went to
Mexico with a man named Ben
Bradook. She
trackers down Ben and
discovers that he is not her father. Ben starts to use his moves and
seduces her, making it the 3rd
generation of women in the family to sleep with him.
The director of the graduate is Mike Nichols.
Benjamin Braddock-Dustin Hoffman
Mr. Robinson -Murray Hamilton
Mrs. Robinson-Anne Bancroft
Elaine- Katharine Ross
My favorite quote from the movie was " Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to
seduce me." I like that quote because without that quote the movie would not be the way it is.
I think that the movie The Graduate was a very good movie and i gave it a 4 out of 5 on my scale. If you ever want to watch a movie that will make you feel
awkward around your parents then this is the movie for you.
