The Graduate | comment |
The Graduate is a 1967 romantic dramedy film directed by Mike Nichols, adapted from Charles Webb's 1963 novel of the same name, and starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross. It's famous for being the first "serious" movie specifically targeted at the baby boomer generation, for prominently featuring Simon & Garfunkel music (most memorably an early version of the toe-tapper "Mrs. Robinson"), and for skyrocketing Dustin Hoffman to fame. It also contains many extremely memorable and oft-parodied lines (particularly, "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me") and scenes (such as the climax, which has its own trope).Disaffected college graduate Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman), having no idea of what to do with his life and receiving no guidance from his shallow parents or their shallow friends, passes his days drifting aimlessly. He begins a clandestine affair with the wife (Bancroft) of his father's business partner, who is always "Mrs. Robinson" to him. Meanwhile, Ben's parents have plans to match him up with Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Elaine (Ross). Both Ben and Mrs. Robinson are against this idea, for different reasons, and Ben has every intention of making Elaine hate him as much as possible... until the two unexpectedly hit it off.Also in the cast are William Daniels and Elizabeth Wilson as Ben's parents and Murray Hamilton as the unsuspecting Mr. Robinson. Richard Dreyfuss briefly appears in one of his first film roles; he has one line.The novel has a sequel, Home School, published forty years after the release of the movie due to copyright issues. | |

Crucified Hero Shot | |
The Graduate / int_13e3985d | comment |
Crucified Hero Shot: At the end, when Ben bangs at the church window with his arms raised and outstretched, many reviewers thought he was being portrayed as a Christ-like image. This actually turns out to be Faux Symbolism, since the church's minister had threatened to throw everyone out when the scene was rehearsed with Ben pounding at the fragile window, which had been a gift to the church. | |

Kafka Komedy: The entire plot is a Kafka Komedy since any and all actions Ben makes are against authority figures but he never intends to do anything bad. He begins the movie loved by those around him and by the end of the movie he's despised by almost everyone who once liked him. | |

Ends with a Smile: Subverted by the Leave the Camera Running nature of the ending. The movie seems like it's going to end when Elaine and Benjamin jump on the bus together, beaming. As the shot goes on, both of their smiles fade to more contemplative and uncertain expressions before the movie (actually) ends. | |

Runaway Bride | |
The Graduate / int_3a234e46 | comment |
The film popularised the Runaway Bride trope — and the sequence of Benjamin convincing his love interest to run out on her wedding is iconic. But its numerous imitators forget to include the part that happens next; once they're on the bus and the thrill wears off, the two share a look that says, "Did we really do the right thing?"... and the film ends ambiguously. | |

The Graduate / int_3dfdc686 | comment |
A Time-Passes Montage uses a series of match cuts to demonstrate Mrs. Robinson's and Ben's affair. There's a cut from Ben in a hotel room bed looking at the door to Ben getting up and shutting the door—which is now the door to his room at home. Right after that, a shot of Ben leaping out of the pool at his house is matched with Ben leaping on top of Mrs. Robinson. | |

Woman Scorned: When Ben breaks off the affair between him and Mrs. Robinson, she warns him to stay away from Elaine, making him promise that he will never go out with her. When Ben's parents urge him to give Elaine a call for a date, and Ben breaks his promise in the process, she blows the whistle on Ben, and Mr. Robinson has some hostile words for Ben if he even thinks about seeing Elaine again. | |

Instant Seduction | |
The Graduate / int_41379078 | comment |
Instant Seduction: Famously averted. Despite her good looks (and him being rather plain and heavily implied to be a virgin) Mrs. Robinson has to practically throw herself at Ben before he gets the idea, and then he runs off all scandalized. When he does agree to get a hotel room with her, he worries what his parents would think if they found out, is generally horribly nervous, and has to be talked into it again. | |

Leg Focus: Mrs. Robinson, rather famously. In the scene from which the famous poster image shown at the top of this page was taken, Ben was actually starting to leave - then Mrs. Robinson decided to put her stockings back on... (Incidentally, those actually aren't Anne Bancroft's legs on the poster. Linda Gray, aka Sue Ellen Ewing, was the leg double.) Not to mention the initial seduction scene with a Between My Legs shot. | |

Ambiguous Ending/Bittersweet Ending: The film ends on a rather ambiguous note, leaving the viewer to wonder whether Benjamin and Elaine will live Happily Ever After or are doomed to repeat the mistakes of their parents and get caught in a loveless marriage. The sequel of the book, Home School, shows them as having a difficult but still consistent life with two kids. The book is even more ambiguous: Elaine turns to Ben and addresses him by name, Ben replies, "What?", and the bus drives away. | |

Symbolic Serene Submersion | |
The Graduate / int_4517f2a2 | comment |
Symbolic Serene Submersion: Several shots in the early part of the film feature Ben simply floating in his family's pool (lying either on an inflatable or simply in the water), symbolising his uncertainty about his future and feeling of simply being adrift at life. In another sequence when, at yet another party thrown by his parents, Ben is forced to display the scuba gear he recently received, despite his overall unwillingness to be there. The scene is shot from Ben's perspective inside the suit, making the voices and sight of the guests distorted and distant until Ben finally gets to the pool and is able to submerge himself, when it all goes silent, symbolising the disconnect he feels from his parents' social environment and lifestyle, and his subtle wish to escape it all. | |

Plot-Powered Stamina: Ben spends the last portion of the movie running like hell to stop his beloved's wedding, basically power-jogging nonstop for ages with only a pause to make a phone call.

The Graduate / int_5b92d2f | comment |
Virgin-Shaming: It could be interpreted that Ben is a virgin before he sleeps with Mrs. Robinson. At the very least, he sleeps with Mrs Robinson because she challenges him on his inexperience. He acts so horribly awkward she outright asks him, and he unsuccessfully tries to deny it, so she basically dares him to prove himself. "Just because you happen to be inadequate in one way..." To his... credit?... Dustin Hoffman, 30 years old at the time, does a great job of playing a nervous, shy virgin. | |

True Beauty Is on the Inside: Oddly not mentioned, although the beautiful Mrs. Robinson is a depressed alcoholic who cheats on her husband and tries to force her daughter into an unhappy marriage, and Ben (who rescues the daughter) is played by Dustin Hoffman. Then again, Dustin Hoffman was cast at the last minute. | |

"The Graduate" Homage Shot: Yes, invokedTrope Namer for the famous shot in which Ben beats on the glass on the second floor of the church and screams "Elaine" as the wedding is ending. Also one of the most famous scenes in movie history. Interestingly, although this scene is an iconic trope namer, it is very similar to the ending of 1924 Harold Lloyd comedy Girl Shy. The only real difference is that Lloyd descends partway down some stairs rather than beating on a window glass. | |

Sad-Times Montage | |
The Graduate / int_9331f162 | comment |
Sad-Times Montage: One such montage (set to Simon and Garfunkel, of course) features mostly clips of Ben floating around in a pool and jumping into bed repeatedly with Mrs. Robinson. One might think that this should be a Good-Times Montage; however, the music is sad, Ben's facial expression almost never changes from one of lost boredom, and the general idea conveyed is that he's just drifting with no idea what to do with himself or his life, lost in a sea of easy-on-the-ears folk rock angst. Another even sadder montage comes after Elaine discovers Ben's affair with her mother and leaves for Berkeley. | |

The Betty wins, of course. | |

Wall Bang Her: Ben does this during his first hotel tryst with Mrs. Robinson, when he grabs her breast and she's too busy trying to rub a stain from her blouse even to notice. This was actually improvisation on the part of Hoffman, who thought he had botched the scene and returned to the other end of the room to start it over. Director Mike Nichols kept rolling, however, and the result is classic. | |

Like a Son to Me: Early in the film, Mr. Robinson has a heart-to-heart with Ben where he calls him this, and then offers him the fatherly advice to "sow a few wild oats, have a good time with the girls, and so forth". This, minutes after his wife has (unbeknownst to him) offered herself to Ben. As you might expect, this changes drastically after Mrs. Robinson tells her family of Ben's affairs with her, presenting her side of the story as a rape victim. | |

Love at First Sight: Ben and Elaine: one date which gets off to a very rocky start, then they share burgers and life stories in a drive-in restaurant, then some uncomfortable truths are aired, and months later he's still willing to drive up to Berkeley to chase after her. Hardly a day after they have an argument, they're talking about marriage, and their passion seems to go strong for the rest of the movie — not counting the last seven seconds. Granted Ben and Elaine fall for each other very quickly but it's still not at first sight. Especially since it's implied in an earlier scene that they knew each other before their date. It also helps that they both realize during their date that their life situations are very similar and that they're the only ones who can truly understand each other and what they're going through. | |

Abusive Parents: A somewhat uncommon take on this trope: Elaine's, and to a lesser extent Ben's, parents basically want to control the lives of their children, despite the latter being adults.

Berserk Button: Mrs. Robinson does not like for Ben to joke about Elaine and then ask her out on a date. Mr. McCleery has no tolerance for agitators, and when Elaine screams out loud, he wants Ben out of his building, evicting Ben later on when he is confronted by Mr. Robinson. | |

Good-Times Montage | |
The Graduate / int_be977433 | comment |
One such montage (set to Simon and Garfunkel, of course) features mostly clips of Ben floating around in a pool and jumping into bed repeatedly with Mrs. Robinson. One might think that this should be a Good-Times Montage; however, the music is sad, Ben's facial expression almost never changes from one of lost boredom, and the general idea conveyed is that he's just drifting with no idea what to do with himself or his life, lost in a sea of easy-on-the-ears folk rock angst. | |

Anti-Hero | |
The Graduate / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Ben is, fundamentally, a Classical Anti-Hero. He sleeps with a married woman, Mrs. Robinson, and then also goes out on a date with her daughter, Elaine, who he then stalks. He's fundamentally a good guy, but he isn't exactly the most selfless guy around, and on his date with Elaine he behaves like a pathetic, self-absorbed dick. Let's say his insecurities often lead him to behave badly. | |

Irony: At the beginning of the film, Mr. Robinson is very much rooting for his daughter and Ben to end up together, so much so that some reviewers accuse him of borderline pimping his daughter to Ben. He gets his wish by the end... except by that point in time, he wants his daughter to stay as far away from Ben as possible, courtesy of Mrs. Robinson. | |

Bikini Bar: Ben's effort to deliberately sabotage the date that he's forced to go on with Elaine has him take her to a strip club. This was 1967, at the point where the nudity taboo in Hollywood was rapidly weakening but hadn't quite evaporated yet, so the stripper on stage wears bikini briefs and pasties. | |

She is very lonely due to her precocious pregnancy and marriage with a man she doesn't love. However, this doesn't stop her from being very petty and pretending she was sexually assaulted by Ben when telling her daughter about him. | |

Now What?: At the end of the movie, after Benjamin rescues Elaine from her wedding and they flee on a bus, the camera holds on them for an uncomfortably long time, as their initial expressions of elation gives way to ones of awkward uncertainty, emphasizing the "now what?" nature of the ending. A play and a (separate) movie attempt to tell what happened right after the end and a generation later, respectively. | |

Broken Bird: Mrs. Robinson is a lonely, depressed, alcoholic housewife. Just try not to pity her with her tragic expression when she confesses her own college major was art. She had to give up on her dreams when she got pregnant and married young, and she'd easily be the most sympathetic character in the story if not for the fact she apparently feels that since she had to suffer a Shotgun Wedding because of her daughter, then she should force her daughter to have one, too. | |

What they fail to wonder is why he's on the Bay Bridge in the first place, since most of the major routes from the south run along the Berkeley/Oakland side rather than the SF side.note You could go to Berkeley from Southern California by driving up into San Francisco and taking the bridge, but it would be a stupid and pointless detour. | |

Freudian Trio: Each prong of the love triangle. Benjamin is the id, a chaotic force who is unbelievably persistent in getting what he wants. Elaine is the superego, as the most apparently conventional of the trio, and the nicest and most understanding.

There's a cut from Ben in a hotel room bed looking at the door to Ben getting up and shutting the door—which is now the door to his room at home. Right after that, a shot of Ben leaping out of the pool at his house is matched with Ben leaping on top of Mrs. Robinson. From Ben opening and passing out of the jewelry store door to Ben opening and entering through the door of the boarding house. | |

Unbuilt Trope | |
The Graduate / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: The film popularised the Runaway Bride trope — and the sequence of Benjamin convincing his love interest to run out on her wedding is iconic. But its numerous imitators forget to include the part that happens next; once they're on the bus and the thrill wears off, the two share a look that says, "Did we really do the right thing?"... and the film ends ambiguously. The film was the Trope Namer for Mrs. Robinson. However, it isn't portrayed just for fanservice, but also for drama. Mrs. Robinson was forced into a Shotgun Wedding after having a child out of wedlock, and she wants to have an affair with Ben out of dissatisfaction with a marriage she didn't want. It also portrays the consequences of a young man having an affair with a married woman: when Ben falls for Elaine, Mrs. Robinson lies and tells Elaine and Mr. Robinson that he took advantage of her. The latter threatens to sue him if he ever comes near his family again, and Elaine wants nothing to do with him until he gets a chance to convince her of the truth. | |
