TANNER'S+GRADUATE+RESPONCE

//THE GRADUATE//

I loved this movie, and I hated this movie all at the same time, but more loved than hated. I best start with the more negative aspect. I saw this movie at a really confusing time in my life, where I am socially and emotional breaking inside a stable healthy looking head on my shoulders. Dustin Hofmann's character Benjermin Bradict couldn’t have been a more appropriate and good selection for Hofmann. But it really doesn’t matter that much the way he looked and differed from Robert Redford, but the dramatic and romantic and completely baked and crazed state of mind his character was in that is mainly what I liked about it. To see another living breathing entity portraying they way or close to the way I can say that I feel about it, whatever it is, although i dont really want to go there right now. I know the way that I see the world right now is mostly negative and pessimistic, broken and unloving, and is kind of the way the film was made, negative, evil sad and just like ‘’hell with it’’. But that is amazing. Between the other films genres starting up at this time, like the French new wave and Italian realism earlier. To those genres a Hollywood film struck an artful note; this film is a good in’. Hopefully i can start caring as well. Paul Simon, and Arte Garfunkle who made one of the first articulated pop sound track for a film. i have a few reservations about the soundtrack itself. they had plenty of great songs at the time that would have gone in to the //Graduate besides a few half made song. check out Parsly sage rosemarry and thyme. and brige over troubbled water. and sounds of silence..//
