The Graduate Videos

Older women and younger men in the movies.

I'm posting my entire documentary, Larry Keel Beautiful Thing here, in 10-minute pieces. Part 6.

When Cinematical staff first discussed the "Montages We Love" series, the image that popped into my head was a classic: the from-bed-to-pool montage in the 1967 film The Graduate. This is my favorite part of the Mike Nichols-directed movie -- yes, even better than the "plastics" line and the bit with Buck Henry and that iconic scene at the end. The montage is a triumph of clever editing, thanks to Nichols and editor Sam O'Steen, whose other credits include Cool Hand Luke, Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown. It begins with Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) lazing in his parents' swimming pool, then as he leaves the pool and pulls on a shirt, he's revealed to be in a hotel room with Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" and then "April, Come She Will" play in the background as Ben shifts from his bed to the pool to the hotel, drinking beer and looking passive and bored, or with his expression masked by sunglasses. The scene ends with Ben pushing himself off the pool's raft -- and into Mrs. Robinson's arms on the hotel bed.Filed under: Classics, Comedy, Fandom, Trailers and ClipsContinue reading Our Favorite Montages: The Graduate Permalink | Email this | Comments

Lyrics: I woke up late today Actually I do that everyday Got no place to be seen Im not part of a scene Im a genius loser Keeping counsel with my own opinion President of the state that Im in Should I just stay in bed? Should I live in my head? Oh God, so many questions to ask Oh, you could call me lazy I think of it as taking my time Cos I dont want to do what I dont want to do Im the queen refusenik [CHORUS] But - oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine But Im a real late starter So Im making up for lost time Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now But Im so polite I do it all of the time I missed my calling in life Oh well. Day by day I wonder If I will be torn asunder By these things that I know that nobody else knows Or maybe its the drinking Kids we should consult a Bible Everybody needs a sign - oh! Bless the birds and the bees The flowers and trees And blessed be the slacker [CHORUS] But - oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine But Im a real late starter So Im making up for lost time Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now But Im so polite I do this all of the time I missed my calling in life You must be having a laugh? Oh God youre having a laugh! No point in worrying if my day's a disaster Inside my little head Im happy ever after Yes I am [CHORUS] Oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine But Im a real late starter So Im making up for lost time Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now But Im so polite I missed my calling in life [CHORUS] Oh my God if I was somebody Id be doing it all just fine But Im a real late starter So Im making up for lost time Oh my God if I was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now But Im so polite I do this all of the time I missed my calling in life Oh what am I like?

April 17: To help you navigate the local multiplex this weekend, Filmspotting offers up a triptych of reviews. Starting in the food court, over by the Toast-A-Bun, we "Observe and Report" on the exploits of the vaguely-unhinged Ronnie Barnhardt, the mall cop at the center of Jody Hill’s new comedy starring Seth Rogen, Anna Farris, and Ray Liotta. Then the lads take a left at the Orange Julius and head south to track the perilous journey of five immigrants making their way through gang-infested Mexico toward the United States border in director Cary Fukunaga’s first feature film, "Sin Nombre." To round out Filmspotting’s cinematic expedition, Adam heads to the desert to join Emily Blunt and Amy Adams on cleaning detail in the quirky new independent film "Sunshine Cleaning." Of course, quirky and independent also means Alan Arkin and Steve Zahn are probably involved. Finally, in honor of our floundering economy and serendipitously tying in with this week’s review of "Sin Nombre," Adam and Matty list their Top 5 Movies About Poverty. Because wherever there’s a podcast in need of two blowhard critics... Filmspotting will be there. Also on the show: Massacre Theatre -- presented by In Review Online -- Listener Feedback and music by Linda Draper.

But it is being discussed in the Filmspotting Forum. - Of course, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is a pretty great looking movie too... with cinematography from Haskell Wexler. - My apologies to the filmmakers of "Notorious." It is NOT the caboose on my list of 2009 movies... I forgot about "Gigantic."

We look back at Hoffman's early years as an actor, when he gained a reputation for being difficult to work with; how he changed Hollywood's image of the leading man.
