The cinematography of the graduate was somewhat clever in the film, often times the focus of a scene would be irrelevant things in the background. This use of rack focusing makes the film easy to watch and follow.
The story is pretty strong. The plot is clear cut and easy to follow Acting-The acting was good, I thought it got a little cheesy and overdramatic at times, but I mostly contribute that to the style of the time period in which the movie was made. Overall I liked it.
