Movie #8 - The graduate

Another classic movie hitting the list: The graduate. Starring a very young Dustin Hoffman being seduced by the horny Mrs. Robinson.
It has a great soundtrack. A lot of people don´t know this but the famous song by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel (Mrs. Robinson) was written especiallu for this movie. However, contrary to what you might expect, another famous song (Sound of silence) is much more proeminent in the movie than Mrs Robinson.
The movie contains moments of pure magic cinema that really entertained me, like when Dustin´s character asks Mrs Robinson: you´re trying to seduce me, aren’t you Mrs Robinson?
However, it is not a master piece.
Dustin Hoffman reminds of his autistic character in Rain Man everytime he opens his mouth and the ending, which is supposed to be an hallmark of XXth century´s cinema scratches ridiculous… but maybe that´s… life.
