The Graduate

I'm sure you may be wondering "What's with the title of this blog?" For those who haven't heard/seen it, it's kind of a play off of the movie "The Graduate" featuring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross. It's a move about a guy [Dustin Hoffman] who has just finished college. Through a chain of events, he spends his days in the pool and his nights with Mrs. Robinson [Anne Bancroft] having an affair. So basically, he is doing nothing with his degree or life at this point.  You've probably heard the song:

"Mrs. Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel

The rest of the story is kind of irrelevant to me but some people could relate. I guess I can sort of relate to Dustin Hoffman's character, in the fact that he has graduated from college and doesn't know where to go from there. It's even more interesting because the movie was made in the 1960's and is still somewhat relevant. It's a very spanning movie.

It's comforting to know I'm not alone with these thoughts. It provides a relief but a fear. Because in the end, Dustin Hoffman's character's story isn't really resolved. And the look of somewhat distress on his face in that last scene shows that he knows that his story will continue to be rocky.

But then again, isn't that life? It's about the unknown future and the not knowing which step to take next.
