- Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
With - Hudba
"I've made a huge mistake."
waaaaaaait second...you don't have a gf. I call fake.
Come on!
The original version by Simon n Garfunkel
Just really sick bees 🐝
No mistake running away with Katharine Ross stunning 👌 she is 78 😲 now
This ending scene is one of the reasons this movie is a classic - those few seconds after the supposed blissful end makes all the difference.
I love this ending. At first there is the elation that they have escaped from the rigid rules & expectations of their parents’ generation, then the reality of an uncertain future, where they are going to have to figure things out for themselves & take responsibility for their choices dawns on them. It’s all there, in those wonderful facial expressions, in the bus taking them to an unknown destination and in the poignantly beautiful song. In fact, this whole film is as close to perfection as any film has ever been.
Yes i agree, but i think if you have someone who believes in you and you believe in them then you can get on and make things work and have a fruitful life. Trust, love and support in each other.
Im 35 and im single and if i had one good woman who i could get to know and she could honestly believe in me, and like me for just who i am, thats all i would need. And i would get to know her too, but her belief in me would give me the confidence to just get out there and do what i need to do as a man.
But its just not that simple cause its really hard meeting someone today, in the world today its not even so much parents and the pressure they put, most parents today are open-minded and just let their kid's be who they want to be, majority of western parents dont pressure their kids to get married.
I think the main issue today is Women, they hold all the cards now because it was a sexist "man's world" in the past, now society has changed to support women more and this is great. It just that its led to a modern world where most young women only want a specific man.
I agree, it reminds me of all of my ex girlfriends who l all still love a little in different ways. I've been on that bus.
well said !! I watch this about every two or three months - - it takes me back to the innocence of those days in the 60's. But Charlie changed everything !!!!!
@@Impulse_Photography .."innocence of those days in the 60's"...a lot of people would disagree with that sentiment...rightfully so...
@@stephencraig5938 Keep it up! I feel the same.
There is no "sad" realization here. Just doubt and uncertainty.
The doubt and uncertainty is the sad realization. Both of them have been so focused on rebelling against their parents for so long, that they never even questioned if this is what they want in the first place. And now that the smoke is cleared and there is nobody left to rebel, they question is this is the right decision.
Or you could just say it's up for interpretation. Because it is ;-)
Feldschlacht VI Right, but a lot of the comments seem to think that they instantly realize here that they made the wrong decision, when in fact what's going on is the decision that they made is coming into question for the first time. Which is much scarier than any sort of firm realization.
I loved reading this friendly discussion, thank you very much.
IrocerRGF Thank you!
What was the point in this part?
"Oh shit, now what?"
One of the best ending scenes ever. If it had ended when they smiled as the bus drove away, it would've been a traditional cliché ending. The fact that it goes on a minute longer while their smiles fade away is pure brilliance.
Elaine realizes that she's just repeated her mom's big mistake and they're both going to turn out exactly like their parents.
❤❤😘😘👍👍👍
If the film had been made with modern film execs, they'd have spoilt it, like The Shawshank Redemption where the same bus of 'future possible happiness or maybe not' disappears over the horizon, perfect, time for the credits. No, notes from the studio, focus groups want to know what happens we have to tack on a scene :-/
👍❤💝💗❤
👍🥔💗❤
When you realize you're in love with an idea.
extremely good comment. That is a great way of summarizing the ending scene!
That hit hard lol
Damn 👍
Genius comment 👍
That’s most things, but you usually find out too late.
Life's intersection of idealism and realism in a split second. My wife of 24 years and I had the same feeling after a positive pregnancy test. We had our first date a month and a half prior to it. We married a month and a half after the test. Our daughter just graduated college. Her brother is graduating high school this year. We love each other just as much today as that gut punch day.
Very happy for you two!
I love ur story and ones like it, it’s as real as it gets, it’s unconventional, so not by the book yet a success. Love to hear it, hope u two have many more anniversaries together!
My father wrote a study of the movie and at the closing scene he makes the point that the cross is the difference between hate and love. A nice symbol.
Can i read that study ? Would be great if i can
An extraordinare movie. After graduation Ben doesn't know what his path is, the adults manipulate him, use him, then he meets Elaine and tells her it's the first good thing that happened to him in a life made of nothing. And together they leave everything to live as they decide. I love this movie😍
For a college film in the 60’s it sure had a great ending
The ending to me is like two characters coming from the movie world, entering the real world.
And that's the very moment they realize what actually happened.
She's so beautiful.
and she runs fast in those shoes!
I took a drawing class and her drawn face is on the cover of the book lol
I didn't remember Dustin looking so good.
This is an iconic face, no plastic surgery, very natural and beautiful. The actress is old now, but this face is immortal.
And Dustin was good looking when he was young.
I like the stranger quotation : "The fact that it goes on a minute longer while their smiles fade away is pure brilliance."
"The fact that it goes on a minute longer while their smiles fade away is pure brilliance." ... But I wonder..did they REALLY have seecod thoughts" on their decision ?
I don't find it depressing. It's realistic. They could be perfectly happy, it's just left open.
+valinor100 lol, sure they are. The director left in that shot of their happiness fading for no reason. You're an idiot.
Dhobbs
More like euphoria fading to "Hmm, what do we do next?" They could still decide to make a go of it, like you are actually supposed to do in a relationship, i.e. wait for the initial high to die down to see if there is lasting potential.
valinor100 Sure, and the song "Hello darkness my old friend" was just thrown in for funsies right? The director must have thought "Gee, this song sure is hopeful for the future right?" The ending is beating the viewer over the head with feelings of regret, I mean, christ this clip is used in film 101 classes for that specific reason.
Dhobbs
Yeah it couldn't possibly be an ambiguous ending...because artsy directors hate ambiguous endings :/ You really think the director wanted to beat people over the head with a message?
You really don't want this to be left open to interpretation, I see. Ok. Fine. They will be miserable, all-knowing film critic. Miserable in darkness and silence forever!
Dhobbs I think I kind of already said the thing about the whirlwind of emotions...but the difference between us is I don't think what they did was especially dumb. But here is where it gets interesting. People bring their own life experiences to movies, so my interpretation could be different than yours based on that. It could even be different than the intent of the director, because he hasn't lived my life. Is that wrong?
best ending to a movie ever!
The best ending scene ever made, for the best movie ever made, for the best soundtrack ever made. Period.
I'm 76 and this is one of my all time favourite movies. Just great!
Es una película?, cómo se llama la película?
What is name of film
meh no The Graduate
Carolina Izquierdo Campos The Graduate
@@TheAwesomeo300 thanks. I'll watch it.
Here is another interpretation: At first they were happy to successfully escape the pressure of society. But eventually they ended up in a bus full of unsympathetic people who stared at them with mocking eyes and were thus exposed to the pressure of society again. Hello darkness, my old friend.
They are in for a ride for sure... I agree with you, it wasn't that they suddenly dropped back into reality and started doubting, it was that they entered another battle - it was made obious by the staring eyes, the scene is almost satirical, like a British comedy from back in the days where unaccepting old-school considers youth to be a hopeless delinquents. Partly true, partly not.
Damn she was beautiful.
Yeah and the other guy is ugly
@@alfatangokilo145 I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT, HOW HE BECAME AN ACTOR OF THAT CALIBER, IS ONLY EVIDENT THAT HE WAS A TALENTED AND GIFTED ACTOR!!
@@Plainsimple67 talented and gifted mmmm no question about that exception his voice, so I wrote only that he is not Montgomery Clift
@@alfatangokilo145 MONTGOMERY CLIFT SURE HE WILL NEVER BE!!!😂😂😂 NO COMPARISON TO THAT ICON!!
She still is
She had such memorable dreamlike 60's and 70's beauty
Yes.. that smile with the eyes that sparkle... virtually non existent now due to mass brainwashed clones taught to resent men.
@@MrAussieJules here comes a weirdo
@MrAussieJules you seem like an incel
@@MrAussieJules You have already rattled feminists and simps it seems
@@johnlove2954 yep...lol. the usual leftist/ marxist/ satanist smears...." hes an incel..." etc. Leftists cant debate, cant think critically. Its like dealing with the kool aid death cult.
50 yr old Men like myself get married women and women in their 20s getting the hots for them daily .... but we choose not to get involved with most, cos we value our independence and dont want to steal girlfriends.
I love this movie because of the ending. It is perfect, and the music makes it a classic.
She looked at him for confirmation and didn’t get it.
I thought it was romantic...He was day dreaming and exhausted because he finally got what he wanted.
And she was looking at him beeing in love.
Also that they didnt smile was romantic for me...they didnt need to, full of emotions.
I think Furyan is right.
@@liliblume5468 Thats alittle naive sorry, only someone who is like completely laid back and carefree would do what Dustin did in this ending scene. I scene conveying real romantics to the audience, would show this couple maybe in a field on a summer day, laying in eachother's arms, not looking at eachother but instead staring up into the sky something like that.
@kitkatcats
You are one of the few who commented on this very important part of this scene.
She's stupid. She gave up a rich and comfortable life for what?
My God she was beautiful, it is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder says yes. Classic beauty with just enough makeup, and I'm guessing no tattoos.
@@jackpoage5419 yeah it used to be a shock to see someone with a tattoo, now it's a shock to find someone without one
2000 Version is gossip girl I bet they have tattoos
Probably the best movie about love ever made
I don't think there's any love in this movie. Mrs. Robinson didn't love her husband and that's why she pushed to have affair with Benjamin, and judging by their faces in this scene and the music, they just realized that they don't love each other either and that they just threw their lives away for each other and that there's no turning back.
Which is exactly what Mrs. Robinson did.
It will remain one of my favorite films. The last scene when they are sitting at the back of the bus...the beauty of cinema when everything was going well.
"I'm such a rebel... now what..."
What a situation here! I wish them long live and happiness... and never, never, never ever look back! Audaces Fortuna Juvat!!!!
Elaine ... " I miss my Mother ... "
Benjamin ... " I miss your Mother, too ... "
Thank you for going there.
@@johnhansen4794 I doubt you are anywhere near old enough to remember the movie ' The Graduate ' ... OR the Mad Magazine spoof of it - but the line I used in my comment was from that spoof. Just as the Simon & Garfunkel song featured in the video was from the film. And you are welcome.
This is one of the best movies of the 60s... and the 60s was chock full of great films. This one is a masterpiece. Mike Nichols did an incredible job and the cast couldn't be better. A classic in every way!
I was born in 1967 from japan

@@jimw.4161 yeah！👍😆
The graduate is one of my ten favorite films of cinema history and will always be so
this is the greatest fade out scene of all time......the best....
What a powerful scene to finish with, the silence says everything.
You'll never guess what happened on the bus today.
The Rosa Parks incident later happened on that very bus
This film bridged the early-mid 1960's conformity of MAD MEN and the late-1960's explosion of the counterculture. Its finish, in which the "heroes" upend a traditional happy ending, like the casting of an unconventional leading man thought by some at the time to be too "ethnic," speaks to the ferment going on in society at the time. All that is to say that's it's a great film, and a time-capsule of the period.
Very well put!
She Elaine was the hotty of my childhood
Classic movie -classic ending scene. Both in the moment enjoyed pulling a great caper on everyone at the wedding, only to eventually realize they are right back where they started. The "fix" of the short term satisfaction and rush, has undermined the change she was trying to make to a better future. It's so difficult to escape our habits and thought patterns. Our neurons fire down neural pathways they are so used to using, so fast they can't even see exit ramps to other possibilities and behaviors that may be more beneficial to us in the long run. Brilliant scene. Brilliant use of Simon and Garfunkel's lyrics.
The Sound of Silence...one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs. No body can sing it like them.
Art Garfunkel has a beautiful, shimmering tenor, which Simon's harmonies perfectly accentuate.
Gorgeous woman.
1:23 and on, look at the colors, depth, detail, warmth and quality you get from shooting on real film.
What a beautiful shot.
They don't regret their decision; they're just thinking about the hard work ahead of them and the uncertainty.
They were so excited to start life. Then they're like what did we just do?
shut up they're happy
@@renaudlemieux1 Lol yeah they look realllllllllllllllllllllll happy 😂
They started.
Ask a couple married for more then 35 years, and wait what they might tell you after all those years between them....you'll never imagine.
You are talking about yourself. They are safe and happy.
Kathy was so pretty..like Oh my God!
My favorite movie ! This ending scene is brilliant just like the rest. Breathtaking photography. Legendary soundtrack. And I find so much of myself in Ben... what a masterpiece.
Sadness at the end of this movie but can watch this a hundreds times. Beautiful music 🙁 Simon and Garfunkel
best ending scene ever.
Anny 87 nope
@@marcov.2494 "one" of the Best ending
Katherine Ross looks like Debra Winger; Also a classic end scene in 'An officer and a gentleman'.....
One of the best movies ever 👌
The way she looks at him...you can tell she still is affected by him sleeping with her mother...doubt she will ever forget.
Let yourself be happy...sometimes you are your biggest obstacle...
lmao they are just sitting there like "Well fuck...now what???"
more like "we dont care whats next cuz we are together now"
Just brilliant.
If you never seen this before it's worth seeing.... Oldie but goodie....🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️👍
The ending to this movie still gives me tingles, even after all these years! Loved this movie so much but the song.....” THE SONG” is my very favorite from my teenage years! “THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE” is a classic! Love everything about this movie & the music is mesmerizing!
*Although I am nearly 60, I remember my youth. Like them...I was over confident, cocky, arrogant....but my greatest flaw was an inability to see further than the end of my nose and the consequences of my actions, and the result...regret. I believe I have over come these flaws...but only time and experience, learning from ones own failures and being brutally honest with oneself can do this. The greatest lesson...following ones heart is the absolute last thing to do... that is to say....never let your emotions rule your head!*
Wow. What's this movie??
This ending honestly hurts. It's too relatable
So true.
All the great films I've seen growing up in old dark theaters, they came alive & still live in my memories.
i found this so bittersweet
Love is a leap of faith. And everyday is it.
Love this scene .. and the music
The Graduate isn't my favorite movie. It only makes my top 5. But this ending will always be #1 in my heart. It even beats the ending of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for me, because of it's subtlety. The wonder of young adulthood is captured.
Please let me now those top 5 on your list. I wanna watch some good movies
@@airinanggraini433 : Since he never answered you, I will
1. Network.
2. Dr. Strangelove.

@@Gallagherfreak100 aww thank you ^-^
There will never be a more beautiful woman.
Perfection.
yeah Anne Bancroft :(
Two words: Shirley Stoler.
Romantic love is fleeting
Great Great movie and Amazing soundtrack....one of my fav. all time
Remember watching when it first was released. Groundbreaking, R.I.P. Mike Nichols you are one of the best filmmakers ever as everyone knows.
One of the greatest tunes ever written 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👍
brings back a lot of memories when I was a teenage.
What a great cast! RIP Mrs. Robinson, hope you had a great life, Ann Bancroft! I loved you. BTW, it's very nice to see that Katherine Ross is still around at 81 ! What a stellar smile she has.
She is so amazingly beautiful.
"what we got here is failure to communicate, some men you just can´t reach"
I always watch this scene without context. I never saw the movie, but the scene keeps comming up for me. And I always think: "is this guy stealing someone's bride?"
You NEED to see the movie.
she was so beautiful
Greatest film of all time for me Catherine Ross the most beautiful woman in the world and the music of Paul Simon you cant get any better and would we all not like to do what he did at the end fantastici am 74 and i still watch it
Dustin Hoffman is such an underrated actor.
An actor who has won multiple Oscars plus other awards is underrated?FUUUCKKKKK!!!! The ignorance is maddening.
I have always loved this film and the song
Thanks. I love this important scene for my youth! Love, humour, beauty, music, artists and intelligence in a great movie!
A brillant movie ! Sophisticated and refined. One of my favourites.

Filme inesquecível, trilha sonora incomparável, atores históricos.
One of the best movies snd best soundtracks. Fell in love with it at 18 in 1998.
This was the highest-grossing movie in the US in 1967. It's unthinkable today that the highest-grossing movie of the year would be a realistic drama with no explosions, giant robots or superheroes. Look at the list of the highest-grossing films in the past decade; it's all science-fiction, fantasy or animation for kids. What happened?
The dawning of the age of incompetence
Brilliant movie..Dustin Hoffman and katherine perfect together..
This is so realistic! And relatable.
After making their own choice, they look at their future with uncertainity. But.....In the end they are glad that they made that Choice!!
what do you know
@@simonlozano2783 Shut up, Simon.
Saw it on my senior class trip to Denver in 1968. Amazing time since then.
Wha, Dustin is my man for life, love every movie he is in, particularly " Midnight Cowboy"....
El mejor final que he visto en mis 53 años de vida.
Amazing expressions. The reality of the situation starting to sink in. I love it.
The way the camera stops following... something so powerful in it. Off they go... alone. Even without us. We cannot follow. And... they can not come back, either. That bus only moves forward.
what a movie and a cast of actors , it takes me back to my youth and all my friends , god what a time of my life.unforgetable
I use to think The Simpons had original ideas
Meh, The Simpsons are all parodies, that´s why it´s so fcking funny.
me too!
it's called cultural reference
ternitamas why do you reply to year old comments? Do you not have anything better to do?
Wait till you see Family Guy
I saw every movie Katharine Ross was in more than once while I was growing up, regardless of its quality. I think you can understand why.
..... SENSACIONAL !!!! ... ótima postagem !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
One of my favorite things is extended shots without dialog that I haven't seen before, wondering what'll happen through visual ques only, and how it'll end.
Le Lauréat 1967, Dustin, Katharine, Simon, Garefunkel, notre jeunesse, les jours heureux.
It could be the ending or the beginning...that unknown feeling is so powerful...only the heart will know when it has all happened....beautiful.
Brilliant Beautiful so many memories
The movie rebelled against the traditional happy ending, just like the 2 rebels in this movie
what a stylish, elegant, slim fit end title
In one brief ending there is disbelief and confusion by the bus riders, joy on the faces of Ben and Elaine at beating the system, then doubt setting in, what happens to us next, and will we survive together. Then, as if that wasn't enough to process, the camera stops as the bus moves on. What happens as the bus and an uncertain future ride together, is brilliant in its' lack of a final resolution. A masterful conclusion, done simply, with no pretense and no histrionics.
Absolutely beautiful.
Wow I felt this
