		Or perhaps "The Graduate" is really a tragedy, considering that what we thought we were watching was something altogether different than what's actually on the film.
		What gave "The Graduate" its long-standing appeal was that it proffered a chance for Ben and his real-life contemporaries to literally fuck the parent images in his life, destroy them and -- having seemingly earned the moral upper hand -- step into their shoes.
		In "The Graduate" we remember, Ben rebels against that model of the world, racing to steal Elaine away from the altar, beating off her family and her would-be future (and his) with a crucifix he pulls off the wall of the church.

	The Graduate (1967)
		The Graduate offers quite a few terrific laughs and remains funny through repeated viewings, mainly because many of the amusing bits result from the nuanced performances; the jokes themselves don't seem that funny, but the way they're acted does.
		If one closely examines the film, one could easily pick it apart for various overly stylized parts and other aspects that could detract from its truth, but the picture flows and holds together so well as a whole that such criticisms are largely rendered meaningless.
		Overall, the image of The Graduate is a bit of a crap shoot, but the film remains consistently watchable.

		The use of the soundtrack to convey Ben’s emotions is established early in the film.

	The Graduate (1967)
		The Graduate (1967) is one of the key, ground-breaking films of the late 1960s, and helped to set in motion of new era of film-making.
		The influential film is a biting satire/comedy about a recent nebbish, East Coast college graduate who finds himself alienated and adrift in the shifting, social and sexual mores of the 1960s, and questioning the values of society (with its keyword "plastics").
		The theme of an innocent and confused youth who is exploited, mis-directed, seduced (literally and figuratively) and betrayed by a corrupt, decadent, and discredited older generation (that finds its stability in "plastics") was well understood by film audiences and captured the spirit of the times.

		Actually the version of The Graduate currently running on Broadway is based both on Calder Willingham and Buck Henry's brilliant screenplay and on the slightly less brilliant Charles Webb novel on which the screenplay itself was also based.
		You might then think that this is a soundtrack, sorta like what you'd expect to get from a movie -- and you'd be getting closer, but still not quite on the mark.
		To be fair, the stage version of The Graduate was developed by a bunch of Brits, who probably didn't realize how much American audiences have had these watershed songs of the '60s rammed down their collective throats over the years.

		From the opening scenes you can see how tight their hold is on Benjamin by the claustrophobic camera shots at his graduation party.
		Not only was it a movie for the generation of baby-boomers in the Sixties, but it still remains a symbol of the teenagers today that are searching for something and those that are "a little unsure about their future".

		In the film, Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), a recent graduate of an Eastern college, comes back to his parent's California home with no ambition, no plans, and no self-esteem.

		Then that instant-cult novel was adapted for the screen by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham and became a huge hit movie starring Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft.
