The Graduate

[june32]

hmm...I like the original more...but then again, I think Allen Iverson is better than the kid I play basketball with at the local YMCA.

[alexander10552]

it's hard to out-do a masterpiece. :]

[june32]

that's true!...and I am one to talk (having last acted in my second grade play!). Also, and to be honest, that kid at the Y is a LOT better than I am!

[nickdemondares]

Ohh Man. that was Intense.... but I think Benjamin was an asshole and he should die or replace by me.... and trust me I wont need a script......

[MitchGambino]

The acting is not bad. But it is stupid that he mentions she put on music, but there is no music....

[AMERASIAN12]

great job!!!!

[frozenstrawbs]

pretty good job.

[guyplayfair]

I like this all the more because it makes you feel you are in the room with them. It is very familiar house scenery. She is sexy.

[trivisuals]

well, lets see.....Mrs. Robinson lived in a Beverly Hills mansion not a tract house. Come on............

[Gohanto]

Decent, some bad cinematography and uneven sound, but that's not the focus. Acting wise the intentions are there, but the delivery is too much "playing" the line instead of living it. The guy comes across trying to be awkward basically, which I would fix by having him draw on his on past experiences or imaged one (what if his gf's mom started hitting on him).

Camera angles were annoying, all simple and chosen from convenience over serving the story.

[AlanaWray]

i think the acting's pretty good

[nachtmerries]

dont quit your day job

[LOLOL134324]

i don t like it the sound isnt good and the acting isn t great either

[LaMostraESopra]

And Benjamin looks like he's fifty.

And he has rather bad diction.

[illertop10]

ayo from the peanut gallery shut up and watch it or don't you idiot.

[LaMostraESopra]

Honey, I took the time to watch it because I thought it was going to be GOOD.

[illertop10]

and thats my fault

[LaMostraESopra]

She just doing a bad impersonation of Anne Bancroft.

You can tell that every once in a while she'll even slip into Anne Bancroft's "sexy voice" but then she'll catch herself and go back to he rnormal voice.

But she's totally just copying Anne Bancroft.

Pooh on her.

[alexander10552]

Neither of the actors had seen the movie before we made this scene, so that would make it particularly hard for the actress to "impersonate" Anne Bancroft.

Let me shove that pooh back up your butt.

[LaMostraESopra]

Jesus Christ.

Have YOU seen the movie??

I find it very hard to believe that she hadn't seen the movie when her performance is nearly exactly the same as Bancroft's.

A good impersonation, yes, I must say that it is.

But original? Not at all.

[alexander10552]

yes, i have seen the movie.

i appreciate (sort of) that you took the time to critique this short. but in all actuality, you're not so much critiquing as you are criticizing. tell me what i could have done better! not what i did wrong or what the actors did wrong. and your comment on having no originality? i disagree. the actress played the role at a much slower pace than Bancroft did, and a lot less body language and more seduction through the use of her words.

[alexander10552]

...minus the part where he unzips her dress, of course.

and also, how much of a divergence do you think is possible in a scene of seduction? maybe i'm biased as a male, but to me there seems only so few ways to portray the sexual entrancement of a guy who is 20 years younger than the woman. and i'm also just babbling now...

[LaMostraESopra]

Sorry, I really was being incredibly rude.

And I didn't have a problem with your work, in fact, I thought it was quite nice. I guess I am just partial to Anne Bancroft's performance.

You make a good point though; I suppose there aren't that many ways to portray a seduction scene, especially this one. I dunno, being an actor myself, I guess I was just looking for a take on the characters that was not as similar to Bancroft's and Hoffman's.

[husalov]

terrible lighting

[10Cnote]

The weird thing is that she is smaller then he is.

[alexander10552]

:D yeah, that's the one main thing i would've done differently..

[oli1901]

the weird thing is she is about the same age as him

[darrenkills]

lol, what a crap video. crap acting, crap character selection, crap decor. couldn't have been any worse.

[figgeln]

well done. Nothing else to say.

[MsStockholmSyndrome]

You did a very nice job! The red headed girl was very professional, not to mention gorgeous.

[oli1997]

she not that hot but i would not say no

[10Cnote]

Well it doesn't look like she would take no for an answer anyway.

[guyplayfair]

You guys are great!!!!

The decor is so perfect.

And both actors marvellous

Thanks for posting this !!!!! Do more!!!!

[johnniefive]

aww its good but what happened to the bed scene lol
