The Graduate is a vast film and I grow to adore it more with each viewing. Everything is nearly perfect about it. The script, Mike Nichols’ direction, the performances of Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft and Katherine Ross, the music of Simon and Garfunkel. It’s amusing yet dramatic, involving and profound all at the same time. A very palatable film all around. Dustin Hoffman has rarely been better than in The Graduate, although he has certainly given many other ravishing performances (Midnight Cowboy, Rain Man, Kramer Vs. Kramer) . However, even more than those pictures, Hoffman will always be remembered for The Graduate and his portrayal of an awkward young man trying to win a have on his life.
Also worth noting in particular is the direction of Mike Nichols. He truly gives the film a fresh visual style to acquire it an experience rather than objective a comedy/drama. Sign the opening credits with Hoffman on an airport engrossing sidewalk dwelling to the tune of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence”. Nichols’ uses cuts very interestingly in several scenes such as the scene where Benjamin jumps up on his raft in the pool, and lands in bed with Mrs. Robinson. He also uses zooms to substantial conclude throughout the film. Nichols’ Best Director Oscar for this film was well-deserved. I reflect that Hoffman’s performance should have won also, as well as the screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry.
One other thing that I must mention is that The Graduate absolutely must been seen in its current aspect ratio! If you’re not watching a widescreen version, then you’re not watching The Graduate. The film was shot in the Panavision process with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Mike Nichols makes amazing expend of the 2.35:1 frame, so the film will be absolutely botched in pan and scan. If you study The Graduate in full-screen pan and scan, you’re really, really missing out. The visual impact of the film will be irreparably damaged.

The DVD is adequate, but this film deserves mighty better. The disc is labeled a special edition, but it’s really too skimpy to be that. At very least you’re getting a widescreen version of the film. However, the transfer is not enhanced for 16:9 televisions. What we need is a fully remastered 16:9 transfer which would be immensely great. The characterize quality is exquisite, but could be so distinguished better. It’s really beautiful what inequity a heed original remastered 16:9 transfer can originate for an older film like this. Unbiased glance at the modern DVD of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. The film also deserves better supplemental materials. A better documentary and a commentary by the filmmakers would be immense. A seperate commentary by Dustin Hoffman would be even better. I’m convinced that someday The Graduate will receive a obedient DVD edition, and I will wait until then to lift it.
Looks like MGM finally is giving “The Graduate” a grownup DVD.

The Mike Nichols film has suffered through the DVD era so far, represented by a series of double-dip issues that perpetuated the same sorry source materials: grainy report, grating audio — the typical first-generation DVD blahs.
Here comes “The Graduate: 40th Anniversary Edition,” due Sept. 11. Fox’s specs note 2.35:1 widescreen with DTS and Dolby Surround. This appears to be in apt widescreen. (The previous DVDs’ version apparently was created by throwing letterboxing atop the full-screen version. Seems the guy who was so astronomical on plastics got into the home video business.)

Check out the modern extras:
* Commentary by Dustin Hoffman and Katherine Ross
* Commentary by director Nichols and Steven Soderbergh
* Retrospective documentary that interviews “Graduate” write Buck Henry, producer Lawrence Turman, Richard Roeper and some random others.
* “Coming of Age: The Making of The Graduate” featurette
* “Would You Like Me To Seduce You: The Seduction Scene Revisited” featurette
Along with some odds and ends ported over from the older discs.
Disc 2 has a honorable surprise: Simon & Garfunkle’s soundtrack, in CD obtain.
I’ll be revisiting the film for Hoffman’s sonic bid of a breakout performance; the “Mrs. Robinson” song and seduction scene; and Ross’ beautifully naturalistic presence. Koo-koo-ka-choo.
