The Graduate Intro - Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

[catafox]

How many real worlds human being will able to take care the same issue just like this story especially while there's the whole trash spy agency also wanna "Piece of pie"???

[MrBaumer8993]

Great movie!

[jakefarey10]

One of my favourite movies

[moviefannnnnn]

when i heard that jackie browns opening scene is similar to the graduates opening i had to check it out. pretty cool but jackie browns opening is way more cool.

[jamiroclyde]

Love the way he has a quick perv at the girl at 1:30. Tells so much about his character!

[frankid5]

Nice intro,its referenced in Jacki Brown...but the greatest intro is in Apocalypse now.

[Luanav1988]

@frankid5 For me is Le Mépris of Godard. But I am sure we all have our own favorites.

[StardustBeatle1039]

I thought it was interesting that he is moving toward the left, and the voice over the speaker is telling him to stay to the right. Is that a symbol for Liberalism/Counter Culture, or am I just trying to find meaning in something arbitrary?

[ghettoasiandude2]

Whooooooooo ...!!! sound of silence ..!!!!!

[iSTOMPguidos]

such a classic. thank god for my film study teacher showing us this

[GordonMorrice]

The Graduate changed the way young people saw their world. It is a truly great film and may it always be enjoyed! God bless Artie and Paul!

[stitchesful]

@GordonMorrice Is that why this movie was considered to be so revolutionary?  But how did young people then see their world differently because of this movie? I'm not saying that this isn't a good movie or that I don't like it. But the one thing I don't agree with or like about it, is that I think it's very sexist. The only one that's blamed for the sleazy love affair that occurs and that is portrayed as sleazy is Mrs. Robinson, the lady. But every excuse is made for Ben.

[GordonMorrice]

@stitchesful Hmm.

[stitchesful]

@GordonMorrice No other feedback? You didn't answer my question.  How did this movie change the way young people saw their world?

[unitedsense]

i flash back,primary school time.

[mainhoondon21]

He stands in one place and yet is somehow forced to keep moving forward. This is the best way of introducing the film's themes. Also good song. 

[DawnRainWasHere]

I kept singing along with all the songs in this movie,very witful song choices and great movie.

[heydanielbrou]

why is this movie about Daniel Brou? does anyone besides me wonder why a famous movie reduces to a Columbia TA? Is it just me?

[godmode9]

Brilliant opening. So much symbolism crammed in a short time!

[blackshot]

man, I remember seeing this when i was just a wee lass, and all the symbolism just flew over my head, and now being 22 myself, I can relate to this movie more.

[Singsonggirl]

@blackshot Same here. I remember seeing it as a child and thinking "huh?" But when I went to college it suddenly made oh so much sense... This movie was made 40 years ago and it still speaks to so many young people. Amazing.

@TheGabrielbly I have to fight the urge as well.

[heydanielbrou]

daniel brou

[TheGabrielbly]

it is brilliant how he can show so much and say so little - nothing happens and yet i am about to watch this movie again!

[RKOTaKeR1]

118 People have Graduated, 0 have dropped out

[rajshah83]

this is very similar to the intro in the film "Jackie Brown" both great songs...

[rayvenworks]

The only Youtube video I've ever seen with 0 dislikes... and well deserving!!!

[alhex123]

THIs is what acting is!!! I am young but I know acting when I see it

[5916tony]

this film is my all time favourite film saw it best part of forty years ago got me hooked on simon and garfunkel and the acting was superb together with a fantastic plot. in the later years you know when a film has been a success the amount of parodies based on this classic. well done hoffman bancroft and mike nichols a truly beautiful film. i have to say if toomorrow they said they were going to remake this THE GRADUATE..it would not come close to the original. MASTERPIECE TEN STARS

[AlexDeLargeisHere]

@5916tony

I Do agree, one of my favourite films

10/10

[dcbandnerd]

Bloody amazing movie. 

[HueyRocks23]

Mike Nichols deserved that Oscar for Best Director for this shot alone

[dacloo]

Heh, weird to see how Tarantino used the opening sequence for Jackie Brown. Exactly the same setup. "Stolen well" that's for sure - result is cool.

[gbrading]

I love this opening credits sequence. It's just really cool, with the wall moving steadily in the background.

[Django5198]

what a fantastic opening to a fantastic film with a fantastic song.

[yinyinkong2559]

the old ver is the best

[jooshiscrazy]

I like everything about this film except the story. It didn't make a lot of sense in many parts of the film. And most of the characters have very little personality, except for Mrs. Robinson. I just enjoyed the film for it's great cinematography and music.

[AncientFox]

I would hate to have his parents

[zoesarri]

one of my favorite movies.

[BobbyJackson100]

One of my favorites movies!

[TanjaPalin]

best film-begin ever!

[llMusicMusicMusicll]

@TanjaPalin agree!

[iJonel]

@TanjaPalin i actually agree on you on that one. it's the directing of it

[TheBSxperience]

@TanjaPalin I think this film is easily one of the best I have ever seen. I thought I would like it more than my favorite which is stand by me. But it barely missed it

[endofsuffering83]

@TanjaPalin Mean Streets is better (Harvey Keitel/Robert Deniro)

[nedalnekbrad]

@TanjaPalin this distinction belongs to 2001 ... You can't be more simple and so more powerful than that . I'll grant you though that the Graduate definetely belongs to the top 10 with legends like once upon a time in the west , .

[Zh0rik]

@TanjaPalin Well, there is a movie called Lost Highway by David Lynch. It's opening is very good too.

[ksr1995]

@TanjaPalin actually i prefer goodfellas` begin, but that was nice :)

[MrLanfranconi]

@TanjaPalin

I love it... but as good as this one I can remember the American Gigolo intro and the American Psycho begin

[stitchesful]

@TanjaPalin I always thought so too. It always fascinated me.

[rDAMartiN]

Dustin Hoffman is legendary

[jcgamer107]

Had the pleasure of doing a paper on this film for a final project in a film class - I had never seen it before, but it is one of the best films ever made and I love it!

[ajsahaf]

@jcgamer107  you're kidding, right? How can you do a paper about a paper that you never saw?

[jcgamer107]

I HAD never seen it, before the paper. Had = past tense.

[ajsahaf]

@jcgamer107

yeah so you finished the paper without watching the movie.. that's weird and stupid.

[jcgamer107]

Ok you must be f***ing with me at this point, no one is that dumb.

[RespectDiCaprio]

LOVE

[ADenny12]

Back in the day where airports were kinda cool places to be and once off the plane, the most you had to worry about was losing your luggage.

[perezoso23]

@ADenny12 you gotta be kidding me

[The0bviousTroll]

@ADenny12 yea human beings are dumb as fuck allright. if a plane is hi jacked and there are a good 200+ on board why the fuck would you let a coupe of people with box cutters take cover herp a derp.

[CrashBandicoot1990]

@ADenny12 or loosing your life :D

[ADenny12]

@CrashBandicoot1990 LOL. Well, I was talking about airPORTS, not airPLANES :)

[CrashBandicoot1990]

@ADenny12 I mean what hapend in Domodedovo airport  =D

[ADenny12]

@CrashBandicoot1990 Yes. That was awful :( But, then again, I wasn't talking about airports in Russia. I remember a bombing in the L.A. airport in the 1970's but that was after this movie was filmed. FYI: I personally saw the results of the L.A. bombing. I remember going with my family to pick up some friends who were flying in and seeing the roped off areas of the airport after that bombing. But back in the day of this movie, airports were kinda fun to hang out at.

[CrashBandicoot1990]

@ADenny12 :)

[Theargoytimecompany]

@ADenny12 or crashing with a tower :/

[Joelomite]

Fact:

Quentin Tarantino made a very similar intro to "Jackie Brown" in the same airport! Just wanted to let you know :-)

[EastofEli]

i noticed that, too

[mistofigo]

@Joelomite LOL, true!...

never thought about it....

[ajsahaf]

@Joelomite

I figured it's a tribute, but I never knew it was the same airport. thanks

[tomaskenny13]

krásná písnička

[hellrider127]

Interesting movie. Great song.

[irishreturner]

amazeing song, pretty good film - the fit together.

[scanman1980]

what a song! one of the best ever

[Rambo4President]

Legendary. This song fits the movie so good.

His life is passing away, just like the people.
