The Graduate Ending

The ending to The Graduate was one of the best endings to a movie I have ever seen.  Ben drove all the way to Santa Barbara and snuck into the overlook of the wedding and he started to scream Elaine's name, the shot of that scene was a great one because it gave a view from Elaine's view and all you see is Ben's silhouette.  This shot was a very intense one to watch because we see that all the audience of the wedding is screaming at Ben and Elaine for running away.  Also the scene where they get onto the bus and they are so happy that they got away and that they can start a new life together, but the director never said cut so when the actors thought that the scene was over it immediately became awkward and you can just feel the tension between them and it seems like they aren't sure what they are going to do after they get home.
