Having just watched for the first time, "The Graduate" on DVD, I have to agree with the following:

Benjamin Braddock is a complete psycho, he is almost as bad from going to college as De Niro's character was in "Taxi Driver". A deeply troubling film, mostly because I didnt think the makers really knew how nasty it was, behind all the nineteen sixties shock which no doubt came out at the time, forty one years later is uncomfortable -- Hoffman's character is a proto-Rainman in fact, and his destructiveness is appalling
