The famous words "I am not trying to seduce you. Do you want me to seduce you?" belong to Mrs Robinson. I didn't know that before I saw the movie, so when the magic words escaped Mrs Robinson in her sultry voice it had my hair rising. With my watching of this movie, Mrs Robinson's enchantment of me is complete. Anne Bancroft has done a stellar job of playing the seductress - the kind of performance that sets archetypes - a huge achievement in that people's viewing of your performance limits their ability to imagine if it could be delivered any better. Oh, I am in love with Mrs Robinson. Simon n Garfunkel' s haunting music is no help either trying to get over the movie experience. "The sound of silence" continues to ring in my ears, the words "are you going to the scarborough fare", and ofcourse "god loves you Mrs Robinson.." simply refuse to go out of my head. Benjamin Braddock's character connected with me as a drifter. Atleast a few times a week I am a drifter. I'm sure there are others out there who found this movie to be a trip; a marijuana high. Also, I equally understand why for some it'll remain inexplicable that the movie connected with the youth of its times, heck, even these times. Mrs Robinson, I would like you to seduce me...
