Document Summary
One of the first scores reliant on popular music much different phase in film history. Score: simon and garfunkel: folk rock music because of the electric amp, higher level of authenticity (not as commercial sounding) Songs by simon and garfunkel: the sound of silence. Barrier between young characters and the parents communicate this by not being able to hear the older generations voices: april comes she will. Used together with the sound of silence montage. Mrs. robinson looks similar to bens mom suggesting the dissatisfaction and lack of connection between the generations. Suggesting something is unfulfilling about this affair: scarborough fair/canticle. Played when elaine learns ben is having an affair with her mother. Hear when she is leaving and ben"s reflecting on her and see it as a lost opportunity. Lyrics match the image: mrs. robinson. Ben makes an energetic attempt to get elaine back. Creates a happier mood which is not seen throughout the movie thus far.
