Waiting to Exhale

The scene from the graduate when Ben was in the pool and his parents were talking to him about his future.


I think that scene was simlar to the scene in Waiting to Exhale. When the mother was asking her son about his future after he graduate from high school. They had similar editing schemes when they kept switching from mother to son.
The son was surprise that his mother was home when he decided get in the pool. He thought his mom was going to be at work for atleast another hour.

super high me


Super high me is a documentry on a comedian that smokes weed for 30 days striaght. From the time he wakes up to bedtime. He takes many medical and mental evaluations such as the SAT and a memory test. On both he does better when he is high. He evaluates and monitors his health and well being. After 30 years of smoking there was no pyhsical harm done but his mathematical skills had deteriorated when his was high. The cinamatography was similar to the graduate because it was often shaky at times but would show little flash images. The love was story was similar because the comedian in super high me was in love with mary jane but didn't know if they could be together because the effects on him. In the end they wound up together just like Ben and elaine.

The Graduate (Ben at the hotel)

1,3.)Ben seems really nervous and paranoid about how he's about to smash some married chick. He thinks people will know.
2.)It just goes back and forth between the clerk and Ben to show there expressions.

The Graduate

I thought The Graduate was intresting but disturbing at the same time. I didnt consider it a comedy though. There was a few comidic moments or at least what the director wanted to be funny but it just didnt do it for me. It was disturbing because, Elaine wanted to be with benjamin even though he slept with her mom.

The movie reminded me about Little Children staring Kate Winslet and Knocked Up staring Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogan . One of the movies is more of a drama and the other one is a comedy. Im not comparing Knocked up to it in a comidic way but because both of those movies were disturbing to me that's why im comparing them to The Graduate. Also some of the editing in Knocked Up was similar in a way.
