The Graduate (1967) is a fantastic movie. The story of Benjamin Braddock is expressed in the most excellent manner. The edits using close ups, zoom ins and cuts make the story interesting and enjoyable. After reading about Kuleshov’s editing typologies watching the movie seemed to be a better experience as I understood the narrative, technical and emotional aspects.
