In all fairness to this film..I never expected that I would like it but not on a very high level... I've made it wait on our DVD collection for many years and good thing it wasn't a waste of time...

Anti-rebellion: putting Benjamin as a loser, inactive spoiled brat, and Mrs. Robinson as the daring one

Probably the best coming-of-age movie I've ever seen. In a way, Dustin Hoffman's character seems to parallel the state that Hollywood was in at the time of the film's conception: neither had any idea where it was going and was trying something new instead.

A very common theme nowadays,but made in great style. The ending is hauntingly subtle.

Unforgettable movie. I tried to immerse myself in the director's filmography and find a title just as sublime, but this rarely happens.

Sometimes, it doesn't need a dialogue or a perfectly written plot with a well-matched soundtrack just to say that the story ends. Sometimes, we have to go out from the traditional. It is not always binary. Accept it or not, this reflects the many unanswered questions in every individual's fucked up mind.

There's something wonderful about this movie; Simon & Garfunkel, black, white, silver and aqua silhouetted by greenery. It's perfectly in line with the sentiment of other greats of the sixties, representing a rebellion from old conventions. The editing is seamless, taking us from present and through hazy fantasy and back to the reality of Benjamin's predicament- our own predicament of taboos and monotony.

I really don't want to be one of those annoying people who come here and say "overrated" "it's dull" etc. but I do have to say I didn't like this movie whatsoever. I think I put my hopes too high when I watched it. Photography and directing=very good,but where is the great plot and dialogues? Man, even the soundtrack didn't make sense for me -by itself it's great though- I don't know, I was highly dissapointed.

I have yet to watch a film with a stronger and more devastating ending. I'll never ever forget that scene.

I actually don’t understand why this movie is so famous and for someone even relevant. The main character is such a dumb guy that Forrest Gump, compared to him, is an intelligence jewel. The story is developed too fast so that it becomes full of non sense and shallow. To complete the picture there are those retarded guys with their stupid guitar!!! The only interesting thing is some directing brainwave…

Yes, it's dated and is an artifact of its time, but I mean that in the sense that the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper is dated and an artifact of the same year...so that is the highest compliment. Even so, the sentiments and fears Ben feels as he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life still resonate.
