The Graduate is a 1967 film directed by Mike Nichols who won an Oscar for his direction.  This hit of the 60's focuses on the development and the maturing of the ultra-naïve college graduate Benjamin Braddock.  This movie is about "just one word...Plastics."  Mr. McQuire sums up this entire movie when he tells Ben that there is "a great future in plastics."  In this film the relationships, except the one between Ben and Elaine, are like plastic because they are not real, they are molded, and they are artificial. 

The Graduate by Mike Nichols has many film techniques that the director has place in to the film that we can see. Mike Nichols has chosen many of techniques that can be picked out throughout the whole sequence in the beginning of the film. Mike Nichols most noticeable choice to use in his film is the setting and symbolism during the sequence. To begin analyzing the setting and symbolism it begins with Ben on an airplane going back to Los Angeles which shows us that this film will take place at that location but there are many symbolism in all in this short sequence.

When Martin makes Ben live with his old roommate in China, Ben becomes aware that Quan is not the same. Instead of becoming a professor he is a

Identity typically changes with age, however he changes very little because he does not have full awareness of his identity. “Age identity refers to the inner most experience of a person’s age and aging process” (Jose 2017). Fitzgerald emphasizes Benjamin’s loss of consciousness more in the novel than Fincher does in the film. At a certain point, Benjamin stops struggling to determine who he is and just essentially waits for time to run out. He would play simply games with his grandson when they are both around the age of children beginning kindergarten. Benjamin and his grandson would continue this until he passed away. In contrast, it seems that Benjamin and his wife fight further to the end in the film, and he passes away with her by his side. The relationship between Benjamin and Daisy was stronger in the film than in the novel. His identity is very important to him in the middle of his life when he wants to go to college and enroll in the war, but towards the end he loses awareness of any self-perception he had built and slips into

Technology―a science that enables the ability to control the natural resources that would benefit man’s needs. The complex word originated from techne that was derived from the fundamental idea of the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, which means, “craft knowledge”. Aristotle wrote about how “technology imitates nature” in that humans use natural products in order to create an unnatural man-made resource (Schummer). Even though technology is unnatural, it has been a prominent innovation that promotes the development of society. With this growing trend of this progressing science, civilization is corrupted with technology as it made into man’s major source of life while nature’s mysteries are left unexplored. That is not to say that technology

Spearheading picture taker Saul Leiter (1923-2013) was catching road scenes in New York decades before road photography was in vogue. You can get his wonderful, masterful pictures at the Photographers' Gallery, London, from 22 January until 3 April.

This film is what we would classify as a “lesson movie.” Ben’s character is confronted in the very beginning with divorce papers he won’t sign. However as the audience we know that by the end of the film his character will develop to a place where he is

The war approaching Benjamin and his family so he choose to use weapons to protect his family. He also brings together

Now in the literary story Benjamin has a grandfather who at the start was antagonized, became to enjoy his grandson’s company. It is a brief account of his grandfather but a meaningful one as this was the first one who gave him a sense of acceptance. The film version gave him acceptance through Queenie and we never get to know a grandfather; though one could say the patrons at the old folk’s home could have been grandparent surrogates for Benjamin. The patrons at the old folks home taught him many things but his experience living there taught him not to fear death and what loss was about which, in a sense, desensitized the character so that when Queenie passes he is not visibly upset.

Ben is also a peculiar character in that he is not really a character.  For one, he was completely a figment of Willy's imagination.  He also does not appear inn the requiem (Smith).  In a Paris Review Interview, Miller acknowledged

He generates a happy, sad feeling and realizes he should enjoy the time he had with her, and live life at the moment. This scene sets up a foreshadow for Benjamin’s family. He may move on and enjoy the moment. Later in the movie when the zoo is open, Benjamin and Kelly (zookeeper/ caretaker for animals before zoo opens) talk about the amazing business so far.
