Hey guys, isn't this kind of eerie. Dustin Hoffman did Two Movies where the ending took place at the Back of a Bus. The Graduate and in Midnight Cowboy as Rico "Ratzo" Rizzo.
I always heard that love make you do some crazy things, if Ben was in love than I assume he is justified breaking up a wedding? anywho it was a great movie with a great cast.
This was an amazing movie, ah to be in those times. I am going to remember this movie from years to come, back than movies had substance and sincerity. Now it has too much and and it takes away everything.
I believe they are worrying about how hard the future is going to be for both of them since the topic is recurrent in the movie...but I'm pretty sure they are holding hands in the bus,
The camera techniques in this movie are very precise, its awesome! The end scene in the church when ben is shouting her name...has been copied! Original for sure, old school is the way forward!
Thank you so much. My DVR didn't record the whole movie. When it hit an hour & thirty-six minutes, it stopped. I was about to completely destroy my entire house, but then I remembered "Oh, yeah! Interwebs!" I love you so much for doing this. <3
I first saw this movie when it was first released in 1970 and I've seen it about twenty times in the cinema since. When the DVD was released I immediatedly bought it and I must have seen it a further twenty times. For me it is one of the best movies, ever!
@somotastic21 Also remember the part where Elaine visits Ben in his room at Berkley. She said that her mother had told her that Benjamin raped her, and Benjamin then said that her mother tried to seduce him and got naked in front of him. He didn't actually say they had sex. Unless I'm mistaken, either way he made himself seem innocent in the whole scenario.
Although it was dead wrong, I know why Elaine's Mom beat Elaine up in this scene. It's because Elaine looked Mrs. Robinson dead in her eye and said basically that it wasn't too late for her to live her own life like it was for Mrs. Robinson when she got knocked up too young like an idiot years before! LOL
The way Elaine's husband to be looks at 3:04 all angry like a wife-beating maniac with his horrible face turning bright red, I myself would run for Ben too!
@RLviddy Mrs. Robinson looked bored but also miserable, because she was. That's why she slept with her husband's partner's son in the first place because all she had was a loveless marriage that she had to follow through with because she got knocekd up.
@kraftdinnerboy No, I disagree with you. Elaine was being told who to marry and she ran away from him. Ben was told to stay away from Elaine, but he didn't. They weren't malleable at all. They were doing what their instincts told them to do, yet they were still unsure at the end. And I think that may be the message. That in life there is no clear path. You just have to take a gamble and hope for the best.
@bboots100 Really great comments here! I like what you wrote.44 years ago seeing this I was identifying with Ben 100%.Now I see he was a total mix-up.But as you wrote following their instincts was very good,saving Elaine from a sure divorce & a let-down life.Possibly her parents will realize how wrong they were but in the meantime she can't go to them for the next semester's payment or a vacation to Hawaii.
@RasMajnouni You're so right. Elaine is definitely going to be cut off. I saw this film in the 70s when I was in my teens. I remember understanding Ben's feeling of drifting along and not being sure if he wanted the same life as his parents. I look at my parents now, retired, living comfortably and travelling the world and I wonder what I found so objectionable about how they lived. I think I must have felt their way of life put them on a very narrow road with few alternatives.
The ending to the movie has always disturbed me. Elaine had forgiven Ben for what society said she could not. They flew in the face of convention and yet, as they rode away in the bus, they still seemed unclear about if they had done the right thing. Is the message here that we can never be sure we are on the right path in life, even when we follow our heart?
That and running away from problems won't solve them. Ben and Elaine realize at the end that neither of them can ever go home, they have no money, he has no job, they don't truly love each other, and they have nowhere to go.
@animeaddict13 I agree with you, but I'm not sure they didn't love each other. There had just been so much in the way of their being together. Once it was gone, I think they had to begin wondering if it had been worth it.
@bboots100 I interpreted the end of the movie as not so much uncertainty about what they did, but uncertainty about what the future holds. They're young, and nervous. They're on the bus, and it's nothing but forward from here, no going back.
@bboots100 Yea its been bothering me too, but i think the end is merely him reflecting on his first dilemma of what is he going to do with his life now. I think the whole movie hes just been trying to fight the obligations that his family, family's friends and Mrs. Robinson, have been trying to impose on him. and in the end when he is finally done fighting back all these obligation he goes back to his true dilemma. "what am I going to do with my life now?".
@bboots100 nice try buddy....the reason why they were acting "unclear" in the final scene was because the director had been shouting at them to improvise in the scene. the actors were intimidated and behaved that way.........but nice perspective though lol....
It takes a lot of balls to break up a wedding. I still dont understand why elaine would marry ben? I mean its something she has to live with everytime she looks at him knowing that he had sex with her mother. For me that would be the equivalent of knowing my wife had sex with my father.....DISTURBING!
@somotastic21 Yeah, you're 100% right but maybe she knew what kind of woman her mother was and maybe she knew that her parents weren't happy. Remember her Mohter said "It's Too Late!", and Elaine said "Not For Me!". Also, on The US Soap Opera Guiding Light it was a common practice for Mothers/Daughters and Fathers/Sons to be involved with or marry the Same Man/Woman at different times.
@somotastic21@bboots100 This is true. But if you watch at the end where Elaine and Ben are on the bus, Elaine's smile slowly turns into a frown, so she knew that she made a mistake.
@somotastic21 This is the 3rd time I've watched this movie & I have a different take this time. Elaine running off with Ben despite knowing he had an affair with her mother is disturbing. But the scene in the church when Mrs. Robinson slaps her face several times made me think that Elaine is running off with Ben just to spite her parents. Her Mom is an alcoholic & her parents are divorcing. I doubt she had a very happy childhood. She's young & rebellious and it's her way of getting back at them.
@simplygu I thought it was because she actually liked him. But she's dumb for doing that. I mean I would never get serious with anyone who's slept with my parents or family or friends of mine
@somotastic21 I know it would be awkward. But, she was ready to knock her daughter out because she went with Ben. That seemed a little much to me. I thought I missed something. She was just acting crazy.
Thanks so much, I was about to give birth to my 43 years old son when this movie came out. It is as good now as then. Especially the ending. I do prefer it does not get messed with and it took a bit to figure out to avoid the fixes.
the classic part for me was when he wanted to kiss elaine mom and she just turned her back and said unzip me dress. thats funny time when a woman doesnt want to kiiss you but wiill fuck
It's been a while since the last time i saw this. I like this movie very much but for credibility's sake, why does he have to be freshly shaven when he wipes the cream off his face in the Elaine's visit to his flat scene....
I tried to get into the theater to watch this movie back in ' 67 when I was just 12. I finally succeeded in getting inside with my paid ticket and I was caught by the usher and banned from there for the rest of my life, according to the manager. I was glad to see that it was destroyed when it was hit by lightning and burned to the ground the following year. They hated anybody that didn't buy his crappy popcorn. I was able to see the movie at another theater about 30 miles away. I love it!!!
I love this film and it has a very happy ending considering all the hell Benjamin had to go through...however only one thing annoys me...
and i don't care if people argue the point with me....
the fact that Benjamin is using the cross the keep the people away and then uses is to lock the church doors...as a devout Christian..i find that very offensive.
He could've used anything else...but for heavens sake...NOT A CRUCIFIX.
but thats my opinion..apart from that...the film is awsome 9/10.
what kind of end is tha?t! i mean, they have now a bigger problem now and it just ends like that!!! the dude doesnt work, doesnt have a car anymore cause he just leave it there, im sure his parents would like this... besides the small fact that he FUCK HER MOTHER!!! i guess it was another times..another kind of movies... fatastic, fantastic this film...a true classic
@89cheapmonday Yes, but I like to this this is fitting, it's not a fairy tale, no one really approved of them together (except for his parents) and they both lack direction in their lives. So it feels like the awkward silence and glancing from eachother to straight ahead as they may be contemplating the next move, like the consiquences are just setting in, is a natural way to end it. I don't know, that's just how I feel about it.
@Angeltears295 I completely concur! What a fantastic movie! It's one of those that I can never get tired of seeing over and over again. I absolutely love it.
I like how there wasn't a kiss at the end. It made it seem more real. Left you with the question what now? In stead of pure happiness, and the two lovers end up together in the end. It left you with happiness, then wonder, and maybe a bit of regret. Whether their decision was right or a complete mistake.
@lovecarpetpythons I think it's the absolute best ending, ever!!! They know exactly where they are going. As for us, we can surmise, can't we? Do we need everything handed to us on a plate all the time? NO. We do not.
I sometimes think of this ending as an alternative ending to Romeo and Juliet. What would have happened if R&J had just decided to run away instead of, as Sassy Gay Friend put it, done that whole roofie thing with the priest? I don't think Ben and Elaine know the answer to that, either.
@RLviddy HA HA! I always think about how many plots would be destroyed if the characters had just had cell phones. Romeo could have called Juliet; Marc Antony, Cleopatra --- Rhett could have called Scarlett etc etc...
It fucking bites having to waste your precious years in college and getting praised by old bags. I guess the movie's message is probably saying to not let your life go to waste.
@InnocenceExperience u just said the same thing twice i find that funny and humerous LOL I DONT WANT TO ARGUE " I think a lot of this movie is below the surface and what isn't said."
The true beauty in The Graduate is that it's not a romance. It's an anti-romance. Nothing about it is romantic; Mrs. Robinson uses Ben and then throws him away, and Elaine just isn't sure about him, or even herself, one way or another. And the ending sums that up so beautifully. They look forward as if to say, "Now what?" and no one has the answer to that, just like in real life if someone did something as stupid and childish as running away. It's a very grounded movie, and that's it's appeal.
@MissLydiaBro does she really use him then throw him away? Who threw who away? I got the impression in the hotel room that she didn't want him to take Elaine out because she wanted him herself but wouldn't or couldn't admit it, then she was upset when he did take her out because she knew/feared what would happen. I thought there was pain beneath her coldness in the first half (hints of it are on her face sometimes) and bitterness and hurt in her vindictiveness in the second half.
@ienjoyapples | he didn't kiss her cuz it wouldn't matter. pretty much cuz he loves her and doesn't just have a boner for her. but man at that point she already looks undecided and bored lolol
@CaReFrEe01 at the very end he doesn't. The reality seems to hit him. He looks more like 'what have I got myself into and what are we going to do?' She wants it to be ideal but its not and she realises and looks almost sad. It could have been a straightforward happy ending but they made it down to earth and more ambiguous. As they go off into the distance, it feels like the start of something that is not certain or ideal (that's not to say it wont work, of course.) That's how I saw it.
Well, I am just afraid after all they have been through, they are still not able to be together, a dark future is waiting for them. Just look at their circumstances now, how can her family set them free...
I always thought "Sienfeld" would end as a parody of the wedding scene in this movie, with Jerry standing up there in the balcony pounding on the glass screaming "Elaine! Elaaaaain!" while Elaine was getting hitched to Puddy...
the ending was........wow...........VERY STRANGE!!! the screaming was hilarious!!!!! and the mother slapping the girl like that!!!! but very good movie and great song!!
This might be the perfect movie. It's just flawless on every level. I don't even know where to start. Not only was the execution amazing from the editing to the soundtrack, but so poignant a commentary on our loss of innocence, on every level. The perfect movie for the perfect moment in history.
@ejatz it is kind of like a person you have seen before, but you just cant remember their names. I had just seen Wayne's world again after not seeing either of the two movies in a while and i just made the connection again. it doesn't usually happen, its weird.
omg haha, that is the funniest sequence i seen in a film for a long time. he uses a stupidly thin wooden cross to fight off an angry church mob "HOLD !! " and they all back away LOL, WHY YOU SCARED? JESUS WILL DELIVER YOU FROM THE PAIN!! i cant imagine them even liking each other that much lol.
@economienda Well There Will be Blood was an amazing film, you're just watching the wrong films. It's difficult to stand in the present and judge films, it's easier to look back and watch all of the films that are still remember and beloved today.
@economienda. I'm 24 and I don't see any problem with this generation's movies. As long as the story is fine and the acting is fair enough, it doesn't matter what year the film is from.
@joymargret I don't know - I don't even think they loved each other in the end - they just didn't want to be where they were at the beginning of the movie.
@fembotprincess I have to concur with fembo here. It is one if not the best movie I have ever seen. i wont go into details since is quarter to 5 am, but I can assure you all that I too have been looking for this movie all over the net. Thank you mr. 8619 for making this dream come true. .. speaking of dreams let me now dream about this movie.

So it feels like the awkward silence and glancing from eachother to straight ahead as they may be contemplating the next move, like the consiquences are just setting in, is a natural way to end it. I don't know, that's just how I feel about it.

I like how there wasn't a kiss at the end. It made it seem more real. Left you with the question what now? In stead of pure happiness, and the two lovers end up together in the end. It left you with happiness, then wonder, and maybe a bit of regret. Whether their decision was right or a complete mistake.

I think it's odd that they just sit there in the bus not hugging, not kissing, not talking. And where the hell are they going?

@lovecarpetpythons I think it's the absolute best ending, ever!!! They know exactly where they are going. As for us, we can surmise, can't we? Do we need everything handed to us on a plate all the time? NO. We do not.

I sometimes think of this ending as an alternative ending to Romeo and Juliet. What would have happened if R&J had just decided to run away instead of, as Sassy Gay Friend put it, done that whole roofie thing with the priest? I don't think Ben and Elaine know the answer to that, either.

@RLviddy HA HA! I always think about how many plots would be destroyed if the characters had just had cell phones. Romeo could have called Juliet; Marc Antony, Cleopatra --- Rhett could have called Scarlett etc etc...

It fucking bites having to waste your precious years in college and getting praised by old bags. I guess the movie's message is probably saying to not let your life go to waste.

The true beauty in The Graduate is that it's not a romance. It's an anti-romance. Nothing about it is romantic; Mrs. Robinson uses Ben and then throws him away, and Elaine just isn't sure about him, or even herself, one way or another. And the ending sums that up so beautifully. They look forward as if to say, "Now what?" and no one has the answer to that, just like in real life if someone did something as stupid and childish as running away. It's a very grounded movie, and that's it's appeal.

@MissLydiaBro does she really use him then throw him away? Who threw who away? I got the impression in the hotel room that she didn't want him to take Elaine out because she wanted him herself but wouldn't or couldn't admit it, then she was upset when he did take her out because she knew/feared what would happen. I thought there was pain beneath her coldness in the first half (hints of it are on her face sometimes) and bitterness and hurt in her vindictiveness in the second half.

CaReFrEe01 9 months ago
@CaReFrEe01 at the very end he doesn't. The reality seems to hit him. He looks more like 'what have I got myself into and what are we going to do?' She wants it to be ideal but its not and she realises and looks almost sad. It could have been a straightforward happy ending but they made it down to earth and more ambiguous. As they go off into the distance, it feels like the start of something that is not certain or ideal (that's not to say it wont work, of course.) That's how I saw it.

I always thought "Sienfeld" would end as a parody of the wedding scene in this movie, with Jerry standing up there in the balcony pounding on the glass screaming "Elaine! Elaaaaain!" while Elaine was getting hitched to Puddy...

@economienda Well There Will be Blood was an amazing film, you're just watching the wrong films. It's difficult to stand in the present and judge films, it's easier to look back and watch all of the films that are still remember and beloved today.

Saaaame, except I'm 18, and there are some good modern moveis.
"True Grit" is recent and pretty good.
Although, classics like this, are, and always will be the best.
