Rewatched The Graduate… First time I watched it I was way too drunk but still appreciated how good the cinematography was. 2nd watch I still hated the third act bc he stalks Elaine for 30 mins and she says “yeah I’ll ditch my marriage for this stalker”
I think it's about how they both so desperately want something different that they'll take anything that presents itself, and the last few seconds of the movie are them realizing "ah fuck"

It’s kind of the point bc it feels like part of the movie’s purpose is trying to show how rash the younger generation is but there are like a hundred possible ways they could’ve done it without ruining Elaine’s character

Yeah that’s definitely what they were going for, I just think they could’ve achieved it in a less stupid way

I don’t want to give the impression that I hate this movie btw, entire runtime before he goes to Berkeley would easily make my top 20
