The Graduate
Benjamin Braddock has just graduated from college. In theory, he should have a plan for the future and step into adulthood with enthusiasm. The problem is, he has no idea what comes next. Lost in a world of parental expectations and well-meaning advice, he tries to find his own path. The situation gets even more complicated when Benjamin begins an affair with Mrs. Robinson, a friend of his parents, and then meets her daughter, Elaine.
Mike Nichols' brilliant, funny, and surprisingly timely film became a symbol of youthful rebellion and marked the beginning of a new era in American cinema. Featuring an unforgettable performance by Dustin Hoffman and an iconic soundtrack by Simon & Garfunkel, The Graduate continues to resonate with generations of viewers searching for the same answers about adulthood, love, and life choices. Even though The Graduate was released in 1967, it is hard to resist the feeling that Benjamin could easily be a hero of modern times.
