i would say that i'm just drifting. here in the pool.

I watched The Graduate last night for the...seventh time? I'm not sure. Still definitely my favorite, though. Every moment is so extremely well thought-out, every line and look and color and note. It was the first movie to use the technique of starting the dialogue from the next scene while still playing the pictures from the scene before it.

But, of course, you know where I'm really going with this. The clothes.

With Mrs. Robinson, it's all animal prints, all the time. I couldn't find any good pictures of this dress, but it has an extremely subtle zebra print that I noticed for the first time last night.


Elaine is much more effortless, with a very simple and iconic American sway. You'll see what I mean in the clip below.
