Default The Graduate



Anyone seen it? Great movie from the sixties... and you have to love the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack.

I'm sure it's a good movie, but unfortunately I saw it as part of a Swarthmore tradition. You see, a viewing of The Graduate is a traditional event right at the beginning of your college career and also when your own graduation is drawing near, and it's a scheduled event with dozens of people attending. Watching a movie with 50 other people who know all the lines will absolutely ruin the movie. Particularly for a movie like The Graduate which isn't really very funny or exciting or anything (it's a good movie. It's just not a comedy).

One segment particularly annoyed me when we heard The Line.

Audience: PLASTICS!!! Yaaaay!!! *whistles* *claps*

Me: Could you please shut up so I can watch this movie?
So yeah. It's a nice enough movie. But don't watch it at Swarthmore.

P.S. Mrs. Robinson is dead.
