Greatest comeback of 2019

that pan out shot when elaine finds out ben has been having an affair with her mom, is honestly one of the creepiest shots i have ever seen.

My favorite part of the Graduate is when they play "Here's to You Mrs. Robinson" every time Ben steps foot on a highway

OH MY GOSH HE POSTED I JUST REWATCHED THE TAXI DRIVER ANALYSIS THE OTHER DAY!

I love the scene where he's in this hotel for the first time and he's dressed in this suit and ordering drinks and everyone's calling him "sir" but he can't help but make a complete fool of himself because he doesn't quite know what he's doing yet and he isn't quite comfortable with the role of existing in the world as an adult man trying to be discreet about having an affair with a married woman. Like he's graduated from college and he's supposed to be ready to make his way in the world and handle things himself but he can't because he hasn't figured it out yet. It's so cringey and so relatable, even in 2020.

Yep. Same experience. Definitely hit me in a different way when I rewatched it after I had graduated from college with honors and found myself jobless and absolutely clueless as to what to do with my life.

2016- "I'll be back" 2019- "(Sorry got stuck a bit) Told you so."

Hey you better not disappear for another 3 years again!

This is, in my opinion, the greatest film ever made. The subtle symbolism, the intricate story line, the plot, the acting, the humor, and the soundtrack are all phenomenal. I too, saw this for the first time when I was 18, and I fell in love with it-- seeing Benjamin finally get away with Elaine. But as I got older and saw it again (probably now for the 12th time), I saw it differently. I realized that the central character is really Mrs. Robinson. She is a tragic yet complex character, and is really the driving force if this film. You can't help but feel sorry for her for what life has thrown at her. Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Kathrine Ross, the producer and director and the rest of the cast did a brilliant job of somehow creating the most iconic movie of all time.

Greatest movie ever made. This is the only movie that I've ever seen that I truly believe was not only perfect on release, but has actually improved with age. Exceptional movie. 11/10

Keep posting! We need you here 💥

Really great analysis Well, see you in 3 years...

I loved the part when Ben says “it’s time to graduate” and starts graduating all over the place

I don't watch oldies movies often, but The Graduate is filmed in such a... modern way. The framing, the shots, the closeups, the opening sequence. It's filmed so well.

Legend had that More then meets the lens will return

I saw this film for the first time only a year ago, 55 years after the film was initially released (!) and despite the film being about loneliness and the vacillations present in nascent early adulthood, I still felt a cerebral connection to it at the age of 34. The film is *_very_* timeless, as a matter of fact.

Do you know how long I've waited for another analysis?! Can't believe the day has come

So i guess the upload schedule is once every three years

I just watched Taxi Driver for the first time and was looking on KZfaq for some analysis videos and saw yours first. While I was watching Taxi Driver it got me thinking about how I need to revisit The Graduate. How crazy it is that the other video you've done (6 days ago may I add) is on The Graduate?!

I'm 18 and this movie REALLY spoke to me. The main character had the feels and I felt kinda anxious for him. My favorite coming-of-age film💜

WHERE DID YOU GO MAN!!?? WE MISS YOU!!! WE WANT MORE!! Love from Canada

This is my favorite movie. I love The Graduate.

I think these 3 videos are some of the great videos on KZfaq amazing KZfaq channel and great videos on my favourite movie taxi driver and my favourite tv series the sopranos

After three long years, he's back!

I’ve watched this movie so many times over so many years. From when I was far younger than Ben, to now decades later, when he seems so young. Even had it as a subject in film class. It’s still mesmerizing and I see something new in it every time.

I saw The Graduate for the first time when I was 12 years old I was impact by the music now that I watch as I am getting older is the editing, cinematography, and the message of the film, the identity of graduating college, and entering in the workforce.

Dude you gotta keep making these man you’re on par with Nerdwriter without trying to be overly deep like he does occasionally. And if you ever see this, please do one about Children of Men. Seriously one of the most underrated gems of my generation of film.

Very nice! The first time I saw The Graduate, I was Elaine's age. Next time I saw it I was Mrs. Robinson's age. What a difference in how I understood the film!

The movie is fresh for today only cell phones and computers are missing but it still works. That's the true sign it's a timeless classic. 50 years from now it will still resonate with viewers.

This is so weird I just stumbled upon his first video at 4 am today and two days ago he uploads his second video. This is truly remarkable.

I check out this dude’s Taxi Driver video 2 days ago and think to myself “man, he hasn’t posted in 3 years? That sucks.” Lo and behold.

Alright boys now we gotta wait another 3 years

Looking forward to next year’s video 👍

Anne Bancroft nailed her role so well. I was so surprised to read that in real life there was only six years between her and Dustin Hoffman. In reality, nothing too out of the ordinary about their age difference but they acted their parts so well.

Excellent! Thanks for putting this up for us.

So great to have you back!💙💙

Masterpiece of a film

This is an absolute triumph. Wow. Well done.

thank you for returning, i was worried you were gonna put out only one amazing video

and just like that he vanished like an angels kiss

Please make more! You're so good at talking about the anatomy of films.

This was great! Love those quotes that you put in from Mike Nichols

This is a piece of art

Man these are really good and thought provoking. Good shit. 👍

Thanks for uploading again man, this is just as awesome as your taxi driver analysis

Wow ! I love your narration about these classics . Pleaseeeeeee upload more.🙏

Fantastic story. I really enjoyed watching

Your taxi driver analysis is still one of the best video essays on youtube. Glad you're back!

Great video i still feel this film holds up really well its one of my all time favourites

I had the Taxi Driver video in my watch later for the longest, I'm glad I finally watched it and I'm happy to see that I did around the time you've finally returned. More content please.

A masterclass in film analysis and delivery. More please.

am willing to wait for 2 more years just pleas keep working on these videos because its very simply gold.

I’m so glad I rewatched the analysis of Taxi Driver. Otherwise I wouldn’t have seen a new upload! Impeccable job, friend.

pretty good analysis. Remember, everything in a Rorschach is personal.

Jeezus... this guy is so good at this; going over themes and intentions of the film and going over the details, he should do more of these.. many many more.. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next time we get to go through another of these

I miss this kind of content on KZfaq.

What a phenomenal amd masterful analysis. Would love to see more of your insights

I just watched taxy driver's analysis and immidiately subscribed, then proceeded to check the channel and when I saw it had only 2 uploads it broke my heart. I'm glad that u're back

brilliant. really enjoyed this

Great analysis. Wow. Loved this movie and now I love it more. Well done….

This film, like a beloved woman, is timeless. Thank you for your generous analysis.

Taxi Driver my fifth most favourite movie, The Graduate is second, are you gonna beat 5 out of 5 my top movies?)

Im so glad your back

YES I'm so glad you uploaded

So glad you decided to make another video

I just watched your taxi driver video and immediately subscribed. You make fantastic content that is analytical while also being assessable to people new to film analysis. Really great work and I look forward to new content.

Finally. So glad you are back

Holy hell you’re back

My man. I need more!! Let’s go!

I don’t know why he doesn’t make more videos? He has a potential gold mind of a channel

Excellent video! Thank you

Great video. Wanted another for so long but didnt think it would happen. I hope you'll upload again soon

Great video man, good to see you are back

Glad you're back man!

Just found you! And your back after 3 years. Awesome

Holy crap a new video from you! Welcome back!!!

This guys a damn legend took 3 years off, still has and gained followers over the 3 years, drops a new video that has got 8.5k views. A move like this would end most youtubers careers.

Dude, hope there are more videos from you.. that was good. I am going watch this one as well

Hello David here from Sebring Florida USA 🇺🇸 I have been a movie buff for over fifty years and I just watched this movie again and it is a 1960’s classic!, Your review was fantastic! Very well said!, It’s the kind of movie you will really get, or you don’t get. I was surprised how many people did not get the movie on the KZfaq comments. But that’s what makes the world go round. See you at the movies 🍿

My family used to watch the annual showing of The Graduate on PRIME TIME during the Million Dollar Movie back in the 1970s. We would laugh and gasp and cheer -- a family of 7, - Mom, Dad, 2 girls and 3 boys from ages 4 to 16, a proud hip Black family in da hood of Philly. We'd talk during the commercials about sex, white people having so much wealth yet still being kinda unhappy & what we'd do with a pool! (LOL), ask sex questions, marvel at seeing Norman Fell from Three's Company STILL playing a grouchy protective landlord and the geeky guy from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS of The THIRD KIND and how that hippie soundtrack definitely kicked ass. Mom, a staunch church goer- would always holler & rant about Ben using the cross as a weapon and lock to help him & Elaine escape. Sometimes she liked it and other times it bothered her. As the baby, I couldn't wait to be old enough to truly GET IT. I own the film. I just watched it today. I am 52yrs old. It STILL makes me laugh, gasp, cringe, giggle and cheer! Plus, I never thought I'd still learn and grow from rewatching it, but although I will always have a soft spot for the goofy, aimless, kinda creepy love-starved Benjamin-- I felt a bit more PITY and EMPATHY for the adults, well mostly Mrs. Robinson. GO COUGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wish she didn't have to feel so bitter & crushed inside that she wanted to punish her daughter by marrying the dumbass aryan looking frat boy. But then, if Mrs. Robinson had just divorced & left to actually have a life instead of still being a megabitch, there would be NO GREAT ENDING TO THE MOVIE. Also, this was the 1st time for me, EVER, that I watched the movie and FINALLY noticed, that nobody, not even her adult friends or husband, servants, her LOVER----nobody ever refers to Mrs. Robinson by her FIRST NAME. I kept WACTHING & WAITING. Then it hit me that nobody in my family during all the viewings, and even reading different reviews' no mention of this character as AN INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUAL. Nope, just a wife, and that was just a mistake. WoW. THIS is the REAL Darth Mader. With no bullshit pop-psycho-babble explanation or excuse. Some people are born and raised in a society that actually conditions them to make choices that are detrimental to their own existence. Some people manage to fight through the mess with moments of clarity. Mrs. Robinson is NOT one of those people. Ben and Elaine APPEAR to have this moment at the end of the film BUT this was just a moment. IT WON'T LAST. That's Life. Now What? THIS FILM IS MAGNIFICENT & TIMELESS for the OPEN-HEARTED and OPEN-MINDED.

Welcome back, greetings from México

Welcome back sir

Great video! Welcome back man!!!!!!

Finished the film just now and immediately went to watch your analysis

Glad to have you back. To have such a positive response from one video shows how much people respect the quality of your work. Would love for there to be more frequent uploads. Interested in your observations of There Will Be Blood.

This is a well made video essay.

Just watched your Taxi Driver video, subbed, then watched this one - keep giving us good content! You're awesome!

I was 19 when I first saw it. I was so supercharged that I ran the mile+ back to my place.

Great video!

The soundtrack is epic. Just loved the music and the Alfa Romeo

Welly well well. Welcome back.

A really good analysis of this brilliant movie!

About Scarborough Fair, not only is it used imo opinion to show his increasingly uninhibited actions, but the lyrics are literally about a set of challenges that a person has to go through in order to win their love - rather a good metaphor for what he is going through.
