Center
Primary
The film critiques the emptiness of 1960s suburban materialism and the hypocrisy of the older generation, championing an individualistic rebellion against societal expectations and traditional institutions, which aligns with left-leaning counter-cultural sentiments.
The film features a cast that is overwhelmingly white, consistent with traditional casting practices of its time, with no explicit efforts towards racial or gender diversity in its character representation. The narrative, while offering social commentary, does not critically portray traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its story.
Secondary
The film critiques the hypocrisy, materialism, and superficiality of the upper-middle-class suburban society, which is implicitly Christian. The older generation's adherence to outward forms of respectability and their empty values are portrayed as oppressive and lacking genuine substance, with the church wedding serving as a symbol of this societal pressure.
The Graduate does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers entirely on heterosexual relationships and the protagonist's disillusionment, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's scope.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Graduate" is an adaptation of the 1963 novel. All major characters, including Benjamin Braddock, Mrs. Robinson, and Elaine Robinson, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. No characters were portrayed on screen with a different gender than their canonical depiction.
The Graduate (1967) is an adaptation of a novel where all major characters, originally depicted as white, are portrayed by white actors. There are no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as a different race.
