Meet Benjamin Braddock, a piece of luggage on a conveyor belt.
“Plastics.” The fake world is Ben’s for the taking. 
The money shot. 
Love this push-in on Anne Bancroft’s Mrs. Robinson, a lonely woman who gave up her life for financial security. 
Lots of water stressing Ben’s feeling of suffocation. 
The eternally beautiful Katharine Ross - she later married Sam Elliott, which makes him my hero. 
Director Mike Nichols gives us something new in every shot. This is a favorite with Dustin Hoffman staying in frame by running outside as the bus moves. 
Richard Dreyfuss shows up, a little too eager to get the cops. 
The duo refuses to be trapped by tradition. 
No doubt it was the right decision. Right?
