I think that 'The Graduate' is one of those movies that you had to be part of the time period to really enjoy. To me the plot seemed to drag itself out a lot longer than it needed to.
Dustin Hoffman is a very good actor, but I'm too used to seeing old Hoffman. Seeing him really young in a movie just threw me off big time. Hoffman's character starts an affair with the neighbor's wife. Then falls in love with her daughter.
I use the word 'love' loosely because he is hooked on her after one date. Which I think is total bullshit. That's a big problem that I have with a lot of movies. If the characters don't take time to build up their affection with each other than I have a hard time believing it. Which was the problem with 'The Graduate' overall. The relationships with the characters were not properly built up.
However the acting was very good, and the plotline itself was creative.

Almost done with the first year!
Well my first year of college is wrapping up...and it's kinda wigging me out. I feel like I'm super old or something? Idk...
Well, let's see here. I watched Psycho last week. Oh man that movie is SPECTACULAR. I really love it. Mostly because it has an ending that nobody sees coming. Some people think it's cheesy, but I think it's beautiful. Plus I have a major crush on Norman Bates...cause I think he's a cutie.
Psycho is also the first movie that showed a toilet flushing on screen AND it got a lot of flack when it first came out because in the shower scene you almost see some boobs. Which of course everyone has to freak out about because nobody is supposed to know what those look like...
I've been done with finals for 3 days now. Been mostly hanging out in my room watching Glee then going out at night and partying with my friends. I love Theater kids. They always make me feel like I might just be special.
Hmmmmmmmm...what else? I won President of the Campus Women's Coalition. That was actually a really big thing for me. I'm actually really worried about being able to run that group sufficiently. And a lot of girls that are older than me and in the club are uber pissed that I won it. So that creates a really tense atmosphere. Which is so not something that I need in my life. But oh well. Fighting for a cause I believe in. Even if that cause means for every step forward I take I feel like I get knocked back 2. But optimism is something I'll need to have. So I'll work on that.
Things with the breakup are sort of getting better. Nobody ever wants me to talk about it...so I'm going to talk about it here for a little while. Yeah, it hurts. It still hurts now, even though it's been a while. I am very prone to bursting into tears if things remind me of Greg, and lately a certain mutual friend of ours can't seem to stop talking about him. But in any case I'm doing my best to keep on moving forward. Gotta say though, really dreading working with him next year. I kinda wish he would have found a different job.
Well...ta-ta for now folks.
