The
film, The Graduate, was an
interesting film to watch due to all of the drama and romantic confusion that
was going on between the characters. I thought it was fascinating to see how
the film used the same song over and over again, but played in different ways.
During the film, whenever a certain event happens to Benjamin, the song kept repeating itself after he has done something that might have ruined his love
life. This film showed so much confusion within Benjamin’s feelings of having
an affair with Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father’s business partner, and
then finding out that he has fallen in love with Mrs. Robinson’s daughter,
Elaine. There was so much confusion in Benjamin’s life because he couldn't seem to
figure out who he wanted to be with the most until the very end of the film. The
song plays itself over and over again which it has a connection to how Benjamin
dealt with his decision of who he loved the most whether it was Mrs. Robinson or
Elaine. The song still goes on playing multiple times whenever Benjamin makes a mistake within the relationship
with the two. The significance of the song was to see how much sadness Benjamin
would bring whenever if he were to tell Elaine that he was sleeping with her mother, but Elaine figured it out herself without hesitation. The
song also showed that Benjamin had to make a choice where he chose to go with
Elaine and then they both, at the end, ran away with each other.
