The Graduate: Haber

The Graduate, the name by it self is enough to remind us the greatness of this late 60's comedy. Reason being is because our parents have reminded us over and over and over again to watch it. They may say things such as "it's such a great movie" or "give it a try you will love it." Well now i have given it a try and i will concur with them all, it is a great movie and i do love it. The movie felt like a drama which it was but it was also a funny commedy. Dustin Hoffman's displays an awkward kind of humor though out the film which had me cracking up. Ive never seen more of a real life "Charlie Brown"especially in the one scene in the dorm room after Elaine screams and he explains that everything is alright. Despite all of his bad luck and problems throughout the film. He maintains his awkward humor by being calm and acting casually. Another thing i thought was funny was that there was no sense of time for Ben's character. He didn't car that he had to make the long drive from San Fran to Santa Monica 3 or 4 times, and he didn't care when he had to wait for Elaine's class to end when she walked in to it while he was talking to her. Overall the atmosphere of the movie was great.  Another aspect of the film i have to touch on was the soundtrack. I believe i only heard Simon and Garfunkel's music throughout the entire film.  I counted three  different songs and may variations of those songs throughout the film. The songs were Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, and Scarborough Fair. I thought the right variations of those songs were played appropriately at the right time which was something quite unique.
