It was 1968 when I first heard this song. Along with Bridge over troubled water... I love it. Now 54 years later, hearing it still gives me goosebumps.
It's amazing the amount of great music written in the late 60's and 70's that still stands the test of time today. It takes you back to exactly where you were when you heard it ❤.
My husband and I saw this movie at the army base theater in 1968 when we were just married. I remember thinking that Anne Bancroft looked old woman to my 20 year old eyes. She was probably in her mid 30s. Seeing her in this clip I'm thinking she was very young and beautiful. I have a granddaughter who is about that age. Where did 54 years go?
The beautiful bride in the clip is Katharine Ross, the daughter of Anne Bancroft in the Movie. The producers let Anne Bancroft really look old with this heavy 68 makeup and this old women's hairstyle. Anne Bancroft managed, to even handle these outfits. :-)
This movie came out in 1967 when I was in high school and I was told by my teacher not to see it becos of its ‘unhealthy ‘content and end up seeing it in 1971 when I was in college .I found it refreshing although a bit revolutionary even for today .I watch the movie numerous times over the years The music by Simon & Art Garfunkel is truly unforgettable .This music is now considered a classic Terry Lau
I’ve watched it with my late wife when it came out and at least another 7-8 times quite often on long haul flights . It truly is my favourite film of all time . How beautiful is Katherine Ross
If you remember when this film can out, you are very lucky to have lived your youthful years in a time of freedom and hope for the future our lives have deteriorated beyond recognition, god help us all.
I saw the film 4 times just because of the songs of Simon and Garfunkel when i was a kid at college and it is still vivid in my mind even after 50 years later.One of the best film of all times!👍
I saw this movie so many times in Japan when it came out. I was eighteen or nineteen. A few years later, I met an American student who was studying Japanese medieval literature. We became friends and he invited me to Berkeley. So, I went there. What a blast! I never ever enjoyed my life that much. I got totally stuck and didn't go back to Japan. After almost 45 years, I'm still stuck, though not in California anymore. But I think the time has come for me to go back to my country. I have nothing but gratitude to the U.S.
This movie resonated with me. I ended up in California working by myself unexpectedly. I felt like I was going backwards in life and I fell into a deep depression. Lonely and hurting I watched this movie and that was the turning point that helped me get out of my hole
THIS MOVIE AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY WAS THE AWAKENING OF OUR SOCIETY FROM CONSERVATISM TO LIBERALISM IN OUR COUNTRY. WITH THE VIETNAM WAR AND THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT MORALS WERE ABOUT TO CHANGE FOREVER. THIS WAS DUSTIN HOFFMAN FIRST MOVIE. ALONG WITH A YOUNG KATHERINE ROSS. ANNE BANCROFT PLAYED MRS. ROBINSON THE STAR OF THE MOVIE. I BELIEVE DUSTIN HOFFMAN WAS 30 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS PICTURE CAME OUT IN 1967.IT WAS A GROWING UP MOVIE.

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence
This was my very first grown-up movie that I got to see me and my mom watched it when I was like 11. I remember how special I felt cuz I finally got to see a grown up movie it was so cool and I had such a crush on Dustin Hoffman. And now time is just blown away. But what great memories
I saw this movie in Porto Alegre, 1980! When I discovered the cinema! I never forget the perfect symbiosis between director, actors, music theme and moment! I’ll write a novel and this music will be the inspiration!
Great movie .I was 10 going on 11, and my uncle was kiaif 3/1968 wen I was 10 , 10 days before my 11 bday. Movie actually came out late 67 , but a classic it was !
The best picture & movie soundtrack of all time. It captured what life was like in the late 1960's. I saw this movie in my high school, fillm literature class in mid 70's. I TRIED to be Ben when I was in college. In 1986, career now definitely established, I purchased my dream car, a brand new, 1986 Alpha Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio & I attended a Simon & Garfunkel concert with my "Elaine." I was finally "The Graduate." Thank you for this post.
My best friend Vivien and I listened to the song sitting on a bench outside our college dorm under a full moon. This was in the early seventies against the backdrop of the Vietnam war. Hearing this song gave us solace. We are in two different continents now but I always think her and of those innocent times, when I hear this song.
I saw The Graduate for the first time in 1975 as a fifteen year old. At the time I saw the movie my first teenage crush and I had ended. It shook me and the words "she once was a true love of mine" and all the Simon and Garfunkel songs of The Graduate" were a coming of age moment in my life. Every time I see the movie I see and feel something different.
Forty-five years ago I was taking an English class at West Hills College. My teacher played this song in class and he wanted us to analyze the song. Since I watched this movie before and kept listening to this song many times, I thought I understood the theme of this song. To my surprise, this song reflects the social ills in our society. People talking without speaking, people hearing with listening. Take my words that might teach you; take my arms that might reach you. There isn't any communication at all, and we become more and more indifferent to each other. Simon and Garfunkel are not only singers but great writers.
A teacher (A Nun) had us analyze this song in the lake sixties. Me and the girl I was partnered with thought the singer was sleep walking. We were told we were wrong (like she knew what it was about).
This is one of my top 5 movies of all times. And this clip is about alienation. The whole movie is. The casting, the editing, and ESPECIALLY the soundtrack.
Actually this song didn’t have any special meaning….it was not written for the movie…it was Simon sitting on his toilet where many nights he sat down with the lights off and looking outside to the neon lights…he added a few more lines and the song came out…that is what he said in an interview….
It was in the summer of 1967 when I saw this movie and when ever I see it it brings me memories when i was 15 and picking Strawberries n blueberries in Byron Center Mi. Together with friends from Texas to work and went Niles Mi. To watch the movie.
Eine der besten Filme der sechziger Jahre und des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts mit dem zeitlosen stimmungsvollen Sound von Simon und Garfunkel mit dem bis dato noch jungen unbekannten Dustin Hoffmann in der Hauptrolle der damit seinen filmischen Durchbruch schaffte und die tolle Katherine Ross und Anne Bancroft in den beiden weiblichen Hauptrollen. Perfekt besetzt und inszeniert deswegen auch nicht veraltet und immer noch absolut sehenswert. Ein absoluter Klassiker der Filmgeschichte.
Nothing like Simon and Garfunkle to bring back the feeling of the mid to late 60s.
Nobody can play Mrs Robinson like Anne Bancroft. Beautifully talented actress. RIP.
I was 14 years old , l had to wait until 1972 to watch it
One of the greatest songs ever written ❤️
Lucky me I was at there concert in Toronto
Can’t forget it
When I saw the movie i was 18 years old. Now I am going to complete my 75th year in November.
It was 1968 when I first heard this song. Along with Bridge over troubled water... I love it. Now 54 years later, hearing it still gives me goosebumps.
Me too
It was 1972 for me I was 15 . It is one of my favourite songs till today.
It's amazing the amount of great music written in the late 60's and 70's that still stands the test of time today.
It takes you back to exactly where you were when you heard it ❤.
@Elaine
SureDoes!!!!
..and makes you feel for a moment the very same emotion
The mid 50s to the mid 70s had the best music that will last forever.
83 now and I couldn’t agree more.

Anne Bancroft owned that movie. And yesss she was so sexy and beautyful adorable
Love you all too, Greetings from North East INDIA Nagaland state, may God bless you 👍
Anne was only 6 yrs older than Hoffman when the movie was filmed
The beautiful bride in the clip is Katharine Ross, the daughter of Anne Bancroft in the Movie. The producers let Anne Bancroft really look old with this heavy 68 makeup and this old women's hairstyle. Anne Bancroft managed, to even handle these outfits. :-)
😭😭😭。。。me too
My grandparents took me to see this at a drive-in theater. I don't think people today realize how revolutionary this film was in so many ways.
could you explain a little bit how it was revolutionary, just watched for my first time
Your grandparents took their self to see this movie they were very cool you were just lucky enough to be abroad alone and I'm sure they love you

@@killicks4896 You had to live in the 60s and 70s to get the revolutionary gist

For a couple years she was gorgeous(also in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid).And that hair--and eyes.
내인생 최고의 영화 여러번 보았고 그 영화의 모든 노래들도 내인생 최고의 노래들 이었다
The finale is absolutely memorable.
The ending scene makes me cry like the last one in "Tootsie". Definitive movie!
This. Song is ageless even in 2021. Super lyrics.
Soundtrack more classic than overrated movie
I was in Upper Six High School Malacca 1968.Movie evergreen.tyvm.Those were the days when we were young.
If you remember when this film can out, you are very lucky to have lived your youthful years in a time of freedom and hope for the future our lives have deteriorated beyond recognition, god help us all.
Anne was a goddess in this movie
Timeless song, never get tired of hearing it.
Yes the more i hear , the more i like.
+That is why it is so good.
Scores often make movies.
Mai..!!!!!!!!!!!
Un capolavoro film attori e musica......e l'amore che trionfa sempre.....
Still one of the best. A true classic
Paul Simon is a musical genius.
A classic, like a Picasso. Bravo
Stupendo film

It's amazing how movies, and songs can effect our lives. Lift us up and turn us around, push forward.

UN CLASICO
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one
present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?” ― Tennessee Williams.
Great song, Great movie, some classic stuff there :-) ❤
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence
Used think that should have been me.
@@ethelbooth84 Should be a lot of us! Saw this movie at ±18; I'm 72!!!
Thank you, I missed a few words over the decades.
Silence like a cancer grows - as true today as it was then 😢
You star 🌟
Einer der besten Songs von Simon and Garfunkel. 🌹❤️🙏
For me, my favourite was Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Lots of memories for. Saw the movie while stationed in Ft Belvoir Va. The best :)
This was my very first grown-up movie that I got to see me and my mom watched it when I was like 11. I remember how special I felt cuz I finally got to see a grown up movie it was so cool and I had such a crush on Dustin Hoffman. And now time is just blown away. But what great memories
I saw this movie in Porto Alegre, 1980! When I discovered the cinema! I never forget the perfect symbiosis between director, actors, music theme and moment! I’ll write a novel and this music will be the inspiration!
This is one of my all-time favorite movies as well!! Young Dustin Hoffman was adorable!
Agreed
I prefered Anne Bancroft by far🥰😊
I know Dustin Hoffman was older than the part he played, but he needed that maturity and life experience to play it as well as he did.
I used to play this music 🎵 in the car while traveling , All the time!!
The great old days seems like yesterday
What a film , what music , and so long ago now , but still what a film and what music !!!
Timeless music. Congratulations !
Hell I is panchito going to Berkeley! Will you embrace me red heads?
My Favourite Movie.Most Genius Thing on Earth
Brilliant Brilliant Film 🎥 and Music
I love this movie years later. I saw it in the 70s when I was in high school.😊😊
Great film.
esta película la vi en los años 70s en la ciudad de México..inolvidable cinta..actualmente se hacen pura porquería..abusando de los efectos especiales
More than 50 years ago. Pure genius. It’s just as real, today,

中学生頃によく聴いていました。今でも10本の指に入ります。そして、映画はもっと強烈だった！もう少しで歌詞を覚えれそうです。
Catarina ros, linda!
I saw this when I was a teenager and loved it.
Periodo unico e irripetibile della nostra vita.

One of my fav movie and amazing song
Dustin Hoffman my fav actor
Imagine he is nearly 80 years old ❤
The film was a masterpiece helped by the brilliant music
Mike Nichols got everything right
Great movie where do the years go I saw this film when I was 18 I'm now 80 can't believe time goes by too fast
"....ELAINE...........BEN...."
The touch with the cross as a lock was magnificent.
小学五年生の時に初めてレコードで聞いた海外の音楽です。今聞いても色あせません。

Superb!
Very good classic song and very good movie true true classic 😃😃😃
Total classic so sweet and as fresh today as it was way back in the 60s thanks for sharing this beautiful video
The music was essential to this movie.
masterpiece film.
從年輕聽到老都不會膩，我好愛他們的合音，永 遠好聽
love this movie, and the music made this movie to the top
Brilliant Film and beautiful music from the legend that is Paul Simon.Rog.Pacific Sunset( LA) Records.
I remember having a crush on Dustin Hoffman in his younger years. I think he's one of the greatest actors there have ever been.
Anne Bancroft owned that movie......
I first saw this film while attending the RVN Training Team course at Fort Hood in 1968 when I was serving the the British Army.

Recuerdos y mucha nostalgia de los años 1967, 68 , 69 , 70 ,,,😥😥😥🌺🌹
Heard in Germany and Austria...in my teens...as an American teenager...all good, and it continues...
Sound of Silcence is so good.
This movie my first date when was in college

This song has a great deep meaning.these brothers are very deep i their words.1960s expression deep meant alot
The best movie, the most beautiful song...
This song remember us when we were senior students at high school and fell in love, danced and drank forrt the first time.
