[quote=Anonymous]Decided to start going down AFI's list of top 100 movies.  Saw The Graduate starring a younger than I'm used to (but way too old for "20") Dustin Hoffman mumbling his way through a movie that had a few highlights, but draaaged on far too long in service to songs that were probably great at the time, but now drag the movie on due to being overplayed.

THis is a top 100 movie?  Mrs. Robinson badgers him into screwing her (reverse the genders and imagine some man appearing naked in front of a 20 year old girl).  She wants no connection with him, but gets pissed off when he goes out with her daughter (understandable).  After ONE date, he decides he wants to marry her (?) and starts stalking her all over Berkeley.  Then Mr. Roper shows up, screaming how he wants to kick him out.

Then her parents "force" her into getting married?  And after getting married, she still leaves her new husband and runs off with some nut she barely knows (look at their faces at the end of the film)???  None of these characters is sympathetic or does anything that makes sense.  This movie hasn't aged very well![/quote]
