The Graduate

It was pretty hard to concentrate on the movie itself of The Graduate directed by Mike Nichols since I really did not like the main male character. I strongly disrespected him because he did everything the mother told him to do and he couldn't make his own choices. He was a grown man but acted like a lost child which for some reason really frustrated me. Finally at the very ending of the story he disobeys the mothers wishes and shows up at the daughters wedding and him and the daughter run away. This scene expresses the happiness they have while running away and a powerful chase for not listening to what is told to do. As soon as they sit in the back of the bus, the smiles fade and reality hits wondering what will happen next. This is the one scene I enjoyed the presence of the main character as he did what felt right to do for him and after he made the first step or that leap of faith to take the daughter away, everything else will come naturally if its all meant to be but the awkwardness as the end is extreme as the viewer can tell both the daughter and the boy wondering what will come next.
